California’s San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG) has awarded HDR a task order contract to provide preliminary engineering/environmental services for a new nine-mile passenger rail service, the Redlands Passenger Rail Project.

This project will extend rail service from San Bernardino to Redlands, Calif. The award is an amendment of a previous contract with HDR.

That contract includes work delivering the Redlands First-Mile Metrolink Extension and alternative analysis phase of the Redlands Passenger Rail Project.

The new amendment adds an 18-month schedule and associated scope of services to prepare preliminary engineering and environmental clearance for the project.

“This is a unique opportunity to work on a brand new passenger rail system from the ground up,” said Mike Boraks, senior rail/transit project manager who will manage this task order for HDR.

HDR is an employee-owned architecture, engineering and consulting firm with more than 7,800 professionals in 185 offices worldwide.
