The scope covers inspection, testing, and repair of 15 pieces of SacRT hi-rail equipment used in light rail system and vehicle maintenance, including utility trucks, dump trucks, swing cranes, and vehicle-mounted lift systems.

Annual inspections are fixed-price, inclusive of all costs, with separate pricing permitted for hi-rail components and crane/lift inspections on dual-equipped vehicles.
