Electrical Rubber-Tired Gantry (eRTG) Crane Runway Construction & Installation of Electrical Infrastructure

The project at the Port of Long Beach involves extending four existing concrete runways on Pier J South by approximately five feet in width and 910 feet in length, while constructing four entirely new runways on Pier J North, each six feet wide and 1,540 feet long, to support the deployment of four new electrified rubber-tired gantry cranes. Alongside the runway modifications, the scope includes the full installation and connection of electrical infrastructure to power the cranes, linking all eight runways—both new and extended—to the terminal’s existing substations, ensuring seamless operation of the eRTG fleet. The work is designated to occur at 1521 Pier J Avenue East in Long Beach, California, and is environmentally cleared under California Environmental Quality Act categorical exemptions for minor alterations to land and construction of small structures, eliminating the need for further environmental review. The contracting entity is the Port of Long Beach, acting as the lead agency, with Tyler Hanks serving as the primary point of contact for environmental planning and project coordination. While the project is publicly forecasted with a posting date of July 14, 2026, no formal solicitation number, contract value, pricing details, or binding contractual clauses are available. There is no indication of specific evaluation factors, award criteria, payment terms, or inspection standards beyond environmental compliance. The infrastructure work will be executed by SSA Marine, represented by Adam Young, Director of Equipment Maintenance, though the formal contract type, delivery schedule, and acceptance procedures remain undefined in the available materials. The project is classified as a forecast rather than a competitive solicitation, and no subcontracting, socioeconomic, or compliance representations from offerors are documented.
