Three (3) Electric Trams for Niagara Falls State Park

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is soliciting bids for the procurement of three new electric trams for use at Niagara Falls State Park. These vehicles are intended to transport park patrons throughout the reservation while helping the agency meet New York State emission standards. Each tram must be designed with a lighter and shorter wheelbase to ensure compatibility with the park's smaller bridges. Technical specifications require that each unit has a minimum capacity of 36 passengers and must include accommodations for at least one wheelchair. This solicitation, identified by number 2139365, is structured as a one-time purchase with the place of performance located at the Niagara Falls Reservation in Niagara Falls, New York. The Invitation for Bids was issued on September 28, 2026, and all responses must be submitted by the deadline of October 20, 2026, at 3:00 PM. Interested parties should direct submissions via email to the designated contract management specialists, Keith Plunkett or Claudette Hennessy. While the agency has noted previous similar procurements with service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, there are currently no set goals for MWBE, WBE, or DBE participation for this specific solicitation.
