NIGP 94090: Tram Construction and Maintenance Services

NIGP 94090 Tram Construction and Maintenance Services, an Item code, encompasses construction, restoration, fabrication, relocation, and installation work on transit infrastructure and associated site improvements that state and local governments solicit through RFP, RFQ, and ITB notices. Recent solicitations under this code span stadium and athletic facility improvements, utility relocation and infrastructure adjustments, pedestrian pathway construction, and specialized building system restoration—work typically managed by city public works departments, county school districts, and state or regional facilities authorities. The work includes concrete and asphalt surface replacement, utility line relocation with trenching and encasement, installation of mechanical and electrical systems, site preparation and grading, ADA-compliant accessibility improvements, and coordination with third-party utility providers such as municipal water systems and power companies. Bidders must typically hold state general contractor licenses, demonstrate five or more years of relevant construction experience, maintain bonding capacity and comprehensive insurance coverage including general liability and umbrella policies, comply with prevailing wage requirements and OSHA trench safety standards, and submit performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value.
