Description

The City of Charlotte is seeking a qualified vendor to perform comprehensive overhauls on the Siemens trucks used in the CATS IV streetcar system. The work includes hydraulic, braking, low‑floor axle, wheelset, and journal bearing maintenance according to OEM recommended intervals (15‑year/270,000 mi, 300,000 mi, and 6‑year/310,000 mi). The selected contractor will receive the trucks, execute the overhaul to OEM standards, and coordinate shipment back to the city’s Rail Inventory department. This effort ensures continued safe, reliable service of the streetcar fleet through the end of its useful life. • Perform OEM‑specified overhaul of streetcar trucks (hydraulic, brake, axle, wheelset, journal bearing). • Receive, service, and ship equipment per RCM and Rail Inventory department procedures. • Meet all OEM performance and safety standards. • Submit a full proposal electronically via the Bonfire procurement portal by the (unspecified) due date. • Must be registered on the City of Charlotte’s Bonfire portal to participate.

Budget estimate

$400,000 – $900,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. Based on typical costs for complete Siemens streetcar truck overhauls—including parts, labor, testing, and logistics—similar projects range from a few hundred thousand dollars to under a million. Assuming 4‑6 trucks per overhaul cycle and an average $150‑$250 k per truck, the total contract could be roughly $600,000 to $1,500,000. Accounting for possible economies of scale and the city’s procurement constraints, a realistic estimate is $400,000 – $900,000.
