Summary
Each materials contract includes optional NTP 2 (Merced to Madera northern extension) and NTP 3 (Poplar Avenue/Kern County to Bakersfield southern extension), exercisable at CHSRA's sole discretion subject to funding availability.
Details
Vendors awarded NTP 1 contracts are positioned to capture extension work without rebidding if CHSRA exercises options, making initial contract awards strategically significant.
Additional materials supply volume beyond NTP 1's $507.1M ceiling if northern and southern extensions are funded and authorized
