Rail Geometry Testing

The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is seeking a vendor to perform comprehensive rail geometry testing across its network. The work includes collecting all required track geometry measurements, operating in hi‑rail mode for full system access, using advanced sensors and data‑management platforms to produce accurate track profiles, real‑time data analysis, and on‑site verification of suspect indications. This multi‑year contract is valued between $100,000 and $250,000 and will support CATS’s automated track inspection program to maintain safety and performance standards. • Conduct full‑system rail geometry data collection using hi‑rail equipment. • Provide real‑time analysis and immediate field verification of defects. • Deliver processed data and reports via CATS‑specified data management platforms. • Maintain required insurance (automobile, general liability, workers’ compensation). • Support a multi‑year service schedule as part of CATS’s ongoing maintenance program.
