Official description
Reference #269-2027-2117. Department: City Procurement. Description: CATS IV STREETCAR TRUCK OVERHAUL: The vehicle's system has reached the recommended maintenance intervals for performance. This project will accomplish the original equipment manufacturer requirements for the truck, hydraulic and braking portion of the OEM recommendations. The RCM department will support the Truck Overhaul project by removing and preparing for the shipment of the selected equipment. The Rail Inventory department will coordinate the shipment to the selected vendors for overhauls. The contracted vendor will perform the required maintenance to specifications and meet all the OEM standards.
The objective of the CATS IV Streetcar Truck Overhauls project is to ensure the maintenance and proper service of the streetcars so each will reach their end of useful life. The OEM recommends that the Siemens trucks be overhauled at fifteen (15) year/270,000 intervals, low floor axle and wheelsets at 300,000 mile intervals, and journal bearing equipment at six (6) year/310,000 mile intervals. By performing the required maintenance and overhaul, CATS will continue to provide the public with a reliable, safe, and on-time value service. Project closes Oct 20, 2026 2:00 PM EDT.
