TS 1. Scope
These technical specifications contain the LACMTA's requirements for wheelchair accessible low flo or transit buses, which accommodate the widest spectrum of passengers including children, adults, the elderly, and the physically disabled, conforming to all applicable ADA regulations. These buses shall provide maximum passenger appeal in appearance, comf ort, and safety; combined with excellence in operating characteristics, standardization with existing LACMTA fleet, economy of operation, maximum efficiency, optimum seating, and conformity with federal, state and local regulations and emission standards. Buses shall include interior and exterior styling features in common with existing Metro BRT type buses such as streamlined appearance. These buses shall incorporate a high level of subsystem integration coordinated with central diagnostic functions and si ngle point Operator interface. Buses shall have a minimum expected life of 12 years or 500,000 miles, whichever comes first. Refer to Table 17 for design life goals.
Metro will consider and evaluate proposals of Zero Emission (ZE) buses that meet legal, di mensional, maintainability and performance requirements outlined in this document. Vendors proposing electric buses for consideration should also include a list of any specialty equipment used for fueling and/or recharging vehicle, any specialty support an d/or diagnostic equipment, and any other unique equipment that will be necessary to support daily operation of the vehicle. Any specialty equipment required to support the ZEB project should be itemized and listed along with estimated installation costs as part of each Contractor’s proposal. Any ZE buses proposed in response to this solicitation shall meet CARB’s definition for zero emission buses.
These technical specifications have been prepared with emphasis on in -service reliability. The basic structure of the bus including major suspension components shall be designed to last the life of the bus without major overhaul or replacement.
Wherever brand, manufacturer or product names are indicated in the Technical Specification, they are included for the pur pose of establishing identification and a general description of the Goods, Equipment, Components or parts. Wherever such names appear, the term “OR APPROVED EQUAL” is deemed to follow. The decision whether a proposed Item is an approved equal will be rend ered by LACMTA as defined by Contract GC-02-H SP-34 Non-Restrictive Clauses.
