Quantum chaos is commonly associated with the emergence of random-matrix statistics in the spectra of quantum systems. A useful diagnostic is provided by the spectral form factor (SFF), which for random matrix ensembles displays a universal linear-growth regime (`ramp'). In the last decade, a landmark result by Bertini, Kos and Prosen (BKP) identified for the first time a class of geometrically local quantum dynamics of finite-dimensional particles where the SFF provably exhibits a random-matrix ramp: periodically driven (Floquet) qudit chains whose evolution is described by `dual-unitary' circuits. Here, building on the BKP result and on a recently proposed variant of the Feynman-Kitaev clock construction, we obtain a spectral ramp in a class of static, geometrically local Hamiltonians. Our strategy is to embed the Floquet quasienergy spectrum of a dual-unitary circuit into the energy spectrum of a static local Hamiltonian, and to prove that the latter's connected SFF inherits the BKP ramp within a symmetry sector. This is to our knowledge the first proof of a spectral ramp in a time-independent, geometrically local many-body system with finite local Hilbert space dimension.
