UTA On-Call Maintenance and TDX Network

Helping UTA serve their customers through task-order-based projects, including full implementation of a TDX network.

About the Project

MRS has successfully executed three different on-call contracts with UTA, providing pre-construction services, construction management, and a variety of maintenance tasks for UTA’s expanding transit system. This extensive work included SCADA software and network maintenance services for both commuter and light rail lines.

We delivered a wide range of services to meet the evolving needs of the UTA network. Key projects included:

  • Procurement of an Operational Light Rail Training Simulator
  • Replacement of 72 linear miles of fiber optic cable
  • Full redesign of the light rail signaling network
  • Upgrades of network management systems for both light rail and commuter rail
  • Upgrading unsignalized crossovers to fully powered crossovers
  • Emergency callout support
  • Subcontractor management for stray current monitoring and traffic control interfaces
  • Complete contactless scan of the OCS wire wear across the entire system

The project was tremendously successful, with the team completing over 60 task orders within three years of the second contract. These tasks included Maintenance-of-Way technical support, signal-design services, overhead catenary maintenance and monitoring, and traction power substation troubleshooting and commissioning. At its peak, MRS coordinated over 30 active systems-related task orders from concept to completion.

These upgrades have driven revenue growth beyond UTA’s forecasts, proving the project invaluable to both UTA and the general riding public. Today, MRS continues to manage project coordination, OCS maintenance and repair, signal system support, emergency services, and FRA testing support.
