NIGP 95126: Leasehold Improvements

NIGP 95126 Leasehold Improvements, an Item code, encompasses design, construction, operation, and long-term occupancy arrangements on real property controlled by state and local government entities. State and local governments use this code to procure facilities improvements and management services where the vendor holds a lease interest rather than acquiring the asset outright—including infrastructure projects like hydrogen refueling stations, mobile service facilities, temporary operational spaces, and energy or transportation infrastructure on public land. Issuing bodies include county governments, municipal authorities, and special-purpose districts pursuing alternative fuel infrastructure, fleet modernization, or climate-action initiatives.

The County of Sacramento released Request for Solution 2025-RFS-0019 in June 2026 for design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a hydrogen refueling station on county-owned property at 4290 Bradshaw Road, with a pre-bid meeting on September 18, 2025, and proposal responses due by October 27, 2025. The station must dispense a minimum of 1,200 kilograms of hydrogen fuel per day and serve public, private, and governmental zero-emission vehicle fleets; the project includes a potential long-term land lease of up to fifteen years and extends through December 2026. Proposers must hold all necessary licenses, certifications, and permits for hydrogen station development, register with California's Department of Industrial Relations, and comply with Sacramento County's approved Labor Compliance Program. Evaluation focuses on firm experience, qualifications, references, site plan, business plan, lease terms, and implementation timeline, with preference for proposals offering light and heavy-duty fueling, green or blue hydrogen, and Level 2 and Level 3 charging capabilities. The lease structure includes monthly rent, an initial premises control fee, quarterly payments with annual increases, a non-refundable capital improvement fee, and a closure cost account; the county retains a first right of refusal to acquire equipment at lease conclusion.
