Description

The Metropolitan Council is seeking a qualified vendor to design, install, and support a full‑scale Light‑Rail‑Train (LRT) operator training simulator that replicates the agency’s real‑world operating environment, including main‑line alignments, yards, and all operational features. This effort will enable Metro Transit to provide realistic, immersive training for LRT operators, improving safety and operational proficiency. • Scope includes provision of hardware, software, and integration services to create a realistic simulation environment. • The simulator must model the entire Metro Transit network, encompassing main‑line routes, yards, and associated operational scenarios. • Vendor must deliver installation, commissioning, and ongoing support services, with potential for long‑term maintenance contracts.
