What if contractor goes broke, would the trains stop?
Typically the Department of Transportation (DOT), Department of Energy (DOE), and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) set guidelines for contractor selection, bonding and contracting procedures to protect the public interests. In the contractor selection phase, contractors are screened for the financial strength, bonding and resources to handle such jobs. During years of operation and maintenance, a number of capable, sound firms can be used to protect and service the system. This is done for utilities and smaller solar installations alike.
