CONTRACTOR shall provide the Services in CONTRACTOR’s own manner and method, except as this Agreement specifies.
CONTRACTOR shall treat a provision in this Agreement that may appear either to give CITY the right to direct CONTRACTOR as to the details of doing the work, or to exercise a measure of control over the work, as giving CONTRACTOR direction only as to the work’s end result.
(B) CONTRACTOR shall indemnify, defend (including CONTRACTOR’s providing and paying for legal counsel for CITY), and hold harmless CITY for any obligation; claim; suit; demand for tax or retirement contribution, including any contribution or payment to the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS); social security; salary or wages; overtime, penalty, or interest payment; or workers’ compensation payment that CITY may be required to make on behalf of CONTRACTOR, an employee of CONTRACTOR, or any employee of CONTRACTOR construed to be an employee of CITY, for the work done under this Agreement.

3.7. Prevailing Wage Laws. Services by persons deemed to be employees of CONTRACTOR possibly may be subject to prevailing wages under California Labor Code Sections 1770-1781.

3.8. Workers’ Compensation. CONTRACTOR understands and
acknowledges that all persons furnishing services to CITY under this Agreement are, for the purpose of workers’ compensation liability, employees solely of CONTRACTOR and not of CITY. In performing the Services or the work under this Agreement, CONTRACTOR is liable for providing workers’ compensation benefits to CONTRACTOR’s employees, or anyone whom CONTRACTOR directly or indirectly hires, employs, or uses. CITY is not responsible for any claims at law or in equity caused by CONTRACTOR’s failure to comply with this Paragraph.
3.10. Damage to Public or Private Property. CONTRACTOR shall, at its sole expense, repair in kind, or pay for, as CITY shall direct, any damage to public or private property, facilities, streets or structures arising out of CONTRACTOR’s use, occupation, operation, or activities in, upon, under, or over any portion of them.

17 W:\Contracts\Beeline Fixed Route-DAR RFP & Award 2023\Exhibits\GSA Drafts\Exhibit G - DRAFT General Services Agreement for Transit Services MY 2-14-23 UPDATED.docx (A) CITY may, in whole or in part and for any length of time, immediately suspend this Agreement until such time as CONTRACTOR has corrected the Default; (B) CITY may provide for the Services either through its own forces or from another CONTRACTOR, and may withhold any money due (or may become owing to) CONTRACTOR for a task related to the claimed Default; (C) CITY may withhold all moneys, or a sum of money, due CONTRACTOR under this Agreement, which in CITY’s sole determination, are sufficient to secure CONTRACTOR’s performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement;

12.0 GENERAL PROVISIONS
12.1. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire and integrated agreement between the PARTIES. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous communications, negotiations, understandings, promises and agreements, either oral or written. Neither CONTRACTOR nor CITY has made any promises or representations, other than those contained in this Agreement or those implied by law. The PARTIES may modify this Agreement, or any part of it, by a written amendment with CITY’s and CONTRACTOR’s signature.
12.2. Interpretation. This Agreement is the product of negotiation and compromise by both PARTIES. Every provision in this Agreement must be interpreted as though the PARTIES equally participated in its drafting. Therefore, despite the provisions in California Civil Code Section 1654, if this Agreement’s language is uncertain, the Agreement must not be construed against the PARTY causing the uncertainty to exist. In interpreting this Agreement and resolving any ambiguities, this Agreement will take precedence over any cover page or attachments. If a conflict occurs between a provision in this Agreement and a provision in an attachment, the following order of precedence applies, with the terms and conditions in the document higher on the list governing over those lower on the list:
(1) The Agreement.
(2) Exhibit F (Insurance Requirements)

(4) Exhibit B (Final Form J Staffing Plan)
(5) Exhibit C (Final Form K Fixed Route Base and Marginal Rate Price Proposal)
(6) Exhibit D (Final Form L Dial-A-Ride Base and Marginal Rate Price Proposal)
12.3. Headings. All headings or captions in this Agreement are for convenience and reference only. They are not intended to define or limit the scope of any term, condition, or provision.
12.4. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. California’s laws govern the Agreement’s construction and interpretation without regard to conflict of law principles.
Unless the Agreement provides otherwise, any reference to laws, ordinances, rules, or regulations include their later amendment, modifications, and successor legislation. If CONTRACTOR or City brings a lawsuit to enforce or interpret one or more provisions of the Agreement, jurisdiction is in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, California, or where otherwise appropriate, in the United States District Court, Central District of California. CONTRACTOR and City acknowledge that the Contract Documents were negotiated, entered into, and executed—and the Work was performed—in the City of Glendale, California.
12.5. Waiver of Breach. If either PARTY fails to require the other to perform any term in this Agreement, that failure does not prevent the PARTY from later enforcing that term, or any other term. If either PARTY waives the other’s breach of a term, that waiver is not treated as waiving a later breach of the term. A waiver of a term is valid only if it is in writing and signed by the PARTY waiving it. This Agreement’s duties and obligations:
(A) Are cumulative (rather than alternative) and are in addition to (rather than a limitation on) any option, right, power, remedy, or privilege; and (B) Are not exhausted by a PARTY’s exercise of any one of them.
12.6. Attorney’s Fees. If CITY or CONTRACTOR brings an action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret one or more provisions of this Agreement, the “prevailing party” is entitled to “reasonable attorney’s fees” in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled. A “prevailing party” has the same meaning as that term is defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1032(a)(4). “Reasonable attorney’s fees” of the City Attorney’s office means the fees regularly charged by private attorneys who:
(A) Practice in a law firm located in Los Angeles County; and (B) Have an equivalent number of years of professional experience in the subject matter area of the law for which the City Attorney’s services were rendered. 885 of 1291

12.7. Further Assurances. Upon CITY’s request at any time, CONTRACTOR shall promptly:
(A) Take further necessary action; and
(B) Sign, acknowledge, and deliver all additional documents as may be reasonable, necessary, or appropriate to carry out this Agreement’s intent, purpose, and terms.
12.8. Assignment.
(A) This Agreement does not give any rights or benefits to anyone, other than to CITY and CONTRACTOR. All duties, obligations, and responsibilities under this Agreement are for the sole and exclusive benefit of CITY and CONTRACTOR, and are not for the benefit of another person, entity, or organization. Without CITY’s prior written authorization, CONTRACTOR shall not do any one or more of the following:
(1) Assign or transfer a right or interest— whether in whole, in part, temporarily, or otherwise— in this Agreement; or
(2) Delegate a duty or obligation owed— whether in whole, in part, temporarily, or otherwise— under this Agreement.
(B) Any actual or attempted assignment of rights or delegation of duties by CONTRACTOR, without CITY’s prior written authorization, is wholly void and totally ineffective for all purposes; and does not postpone, delay, alter, extinguish, or terminate CONTRACTOR’s duties, obligations, or responsibilities under this Agreement. (C) If CITY consents to an assignment of rights, or a delegation of duties, or both, CONTRACTOR’s assignee or legal representative shall agree in writing to personally assume, perform, and to be bound unconditionally by the covenants, obligations, terms, and conditions in this Agreement.
12.9. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions in Paragraph
12.8, this Agreement is binding on the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of the respective PARTIES.
12.10. Recycled Paper. CONTRACTOR shall endeavor to submit all reports, correspondence, and documents related to this Agreement on recycled paper.

6. MATERIALS OR SUPPLIES PURCHASED FROM DBEs COUNT TOWARDS DBE
CREDIT, AND IF A DBE IS ALSO A RC-DBE, PURCHASES WILL COUNT TOWARDS THE RC-DBE CONTRACT GOAL UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
a. If the materials or supplies are obtained from a RC-DBE manufacturer, 100 percent of the cost of the materials or supplies count towards the goal. A RC-DBE manufacturer is a firm that operates, or maintains a factory, or establishment that produces on the premises that materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the Agreement and of the general character described by the specifications.
b. If the materials or supplies purchased from a RC-DBE regular dealer, count 60 percent of the cost of the materials or supplies. A RC-DBE regular dealer is a firm that owns, operates or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general character described by the specification and required under the Agreement are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold or leased to the public in the usual course of doing business. To be a RC-DBE regular dealer the firm must be an established, regular business that engages, as its principal business and under its own name, in the purchase and sale or lease of the products in question. A person may be a RC-DBE regular dealer, in such bulk items as petroleum products, steel, cement, gravel, stone or asphalt without owning, operating or maintaining a place of business provided in this section. c. If the person both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products, any supplementing of regular dealers’ own distribution shall be, by a long-term lease agreement and not an ad hoc or Agreement-by-Agreement basis. Packagers, brokers, manufacturers’ representatives, or other persons who arrange or expedite transactions are not RC-DBE regular dealers within the meaning of this section.
d. Materials or supplies purchased from a RC-DBE, which is neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, will be limited to the entire amount of fees or commissions charged for assistance in the procurement of the materials and supplies required or fees or transportation charges for the delivery of materials or supplies on the job site, provided the fees are reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees charged for similar services.

916 of 1291
6 c. The RC-DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services it provides on the agreement using trucks it owns, insures, and operates using drivers it employs. d. The RC-DBE may lease trucks from another RC-DBE firm including an owner-operator who is certified as a RC-DBE. A RC-DBE who leases trucks from another RC-DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the lessee RC-DBE provides on the agreement. e. The DBE may also lease trucks from a non-DBE firm, including an owner-operator. The DBE that leases trucks equipped with drivers from a non-DBE is entitled to credit for the total value of transportation services provided by non-DBE leased trucks equipped with drivers not to exceed the value of transportation services on the contract provided by DBE-owned trucks or leased trucks with DBE employee drivers. Additional participation by non-DBE owned trucks equipped with drivers receives credit only for the fee or commission it receives as a result of the lease arrangement.
f. The DBE may lease trucks without drivers from a non-DBE truck leasing company. If the DBE leases trucks from a non-DBE truck leasing company and uses its own employees as drivers, it is entitled to credit for the total value of these hauling services. g. For the purposes of this section, a lease must indicate that the RC-DBE has exclusive use and control over the truck. This does not preclude the leased truck from working for others during the term of the lease with the consent of the RC-DBE, as long as the lease gives the RC-DBE absolute priority for use of the leased truck. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number of the RC-DBE.

Any delay or postponement of payment from the above-referenced timeframes may occur only for good cause following written approval from City. Failure to comply with this provision without prior approval from City will constitute noncompliance, which may result in the application of appropriate administrative sanctions, including, but not limited to, withholding of payment to the Contractor of two percent (2%) of the invoice amount due per month, for every month that full payment is not made in accordance with these prompt payment requirements.
Prompt Progress Payments to Subcontractors
Contractor will include a contract clause that will require Subcontractors to pay each lower tiered Subcontractor participating on the Project for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than 7 days from the receipt of each payment the Subcontractor receives from Contractor.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AUDIT
Thirteen (13) Buses
Conducted July 30, 2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRC Engineering Services (TRC) conducted a maintenance audit for the City of Glendale to ensure that its contractor, MV Transportation, Inc., maintains buses owned by the City of Glendale in accordance with its contract provisions. This report presents the findings of the maintenance audit of the Glendale Beeline buses which was conducted July 30, 2022. The audit consisted of a fleet inspection and maintenance record review of thirteen (13) buses. Fluid analysis samples were also taken from three (3) buses selected at random.
The results of this audit showed:
• The total number of defects found during this audit was 23, for an average of
1.77 defects per bus, compared to 42 total defects, for an average of 3.23 defects per bus, the previous audit. This inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.
• Three (3) Class “A” defects were found during this current audit compared to two Class “A” defects the previous audit. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and keeps the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on three (3) of the 13 buses inspected.
• The on-time adherence to preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) was within required guidelines. All inspected mileage accounts showed that PMI work had been done within 10% of the 3,000-mile interval threshold. TRC also reviewed the oil change intervals on these buses. The results showed that oil changes were also performed on time.
• Positive observations from this audit include the following:
o MV Transportation management and staff continue to be cooperative and prepared in providing a constant supply of buses for TRC to inspect, thus, ensuring that the audit inspections are efficiently carried out.
o PMI records continue to be well organized and easy to locate.
Additional audit findings are presented in various tables located throughout this report. The tables are based on data contained in Excel spreadsheets included on a separate CD as Appendix A to this report. A summary of recommendations is provided at the end of this report.

Audit Report
BACKGROUND
TRC conducted a maintenance audit of the Glendale Beeline buses on July 30, 2022.
Results from this audit will be compared to results of previous audits to inform the City of Glendale if the contractor’s maintenance performance is remaining the same, deteriorating, or improving over time.
BUSES INSPECTED
Thirteen buses received a physical inspection and PMI records review. Table 1 identifies these 13 buses and the three buses selected at random that received a fluids analysis audit.
EVALUATION CRITERIA & METHODOLOGY
TRC assigned a team of three bus inspectors to perform the maintenance audit, physically inspect the buses, and draw fluid samples. The inspection team members were Dan Denman, Greg Dowell, and Larry Perkins. Greg Dowell served as the onsite supervisor and entered the defects identified by the inspection team. Dan Denman served as Project Manager and prepared the final report. The material which follows describes the evaluation criteria and methodology used by TRC to conduct the fleet inspection and the records and fluids analysis audit.
Fleet Inspection
Specific defects documented during the bus inspections were classified under 18 functional categories:

An “A/B/C” designation system was used to distinguish defects requiring immediate repair from those that could be repaired at a later time.
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Class “A” safety-related defects were discussed and agreed upon between the City of Glendale and the TRC inspectors during the initial inspection and have remained the same for all subsequent audits. A list of the Class “A” defects regarded as being safety related for this audit is attached as Appendix B. During the inspection, TRC provided MV Transportation and the City of Glendale staff with copies of the defect lists for use in scheduling repairs. TRC inspectors also verified operation of certain controls to ensure that defects were legitimate ones and not the result of the inspectors being unfamiliar with specific bus equipment.
Records and Fluids Analysis Audit
The audit team selected three (3) buses at random for the fluids analysis audit and reviewed PMI records for all 13 buses. The fluids analysis audit included taking engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from each of the selected buses.
The records examination set out to determine if:
• Preventive maintenance (PM) had been performed correctly and at prescribed intervals.
• Repairs had been performed properly and made promptly. 939 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses July 2022 TRC Engineering Services 4
PM Intervals
To determine if preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) were performed correctly and on time, TRC examined the PMI records of the 13 buses. Mileage between the last three scheduled PMIs was calculated to determine if the inspections were performed on time (within 10% or 300 miles of the scheduled 3,000-mile interval) or if they were late.
Repairs
To determine if repairs were performed properly and made promptly, two audit procedures were used:
1) PMI sheets going back to the previous three PMIs were selected and examined for each of the 13 buses to determine if and when defects defined during the PMI process were repaired.
2) Defects from the previous three PMIs were then compared to determine if any defects were repeated from one PMI to the next.
From this comparison, TRC can determine if the defects were repaired or if they were simply noted on subsequent inspections.
Fluids Analysis Management
TRC uses a fluids analysis program to verify any problems which may have occurred before the initial inspection. TRC examined the engine and transmission oil change records for each of the thirteen (13) buses going back at least two PMIs (26 records). TRC also reviewed the mileage between oil changes to verify that the buses were being serviced at the appropriate 6,000-mile oil change intervals and that the records were properly filed for easy reference.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random and will review those results (9 samples) when received.
In reviewing the results, TRC looks for evidence of inappropriate levels of deterioration.
FINDINGS
Overall Fleet Condition
The total number of defects found during this audit was 23, for an average of 1.77 defects per bus, compared to 42 total defects, for an average of 3.23 defects per bus, the previous audit. As illustrated in the chart which follows, this inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.
940 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses July 2022 TRC Engineering Services 5
TRC also compared the average number of defects per bus based on the fleet age of the inspected buses for each fiscal year. This inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022. Table 2 which follows shows no specific correlation between fleet age and the average number of defects per bus.
Defects Findings
Defects were found in the Accessibility Features, Driver’s Controls, Engine Compartment, Exterior Body Condition, Interior Condition, Lights, Safety Equipment, and Suspension/Steering categories. The Engine Compartment and Suspension/Steering categories showed the most defects with a total of six (6) defects each. After each inspection, the results are reviewed against previous audits to find possible trends in defects. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.

Function Test of Fare Boxes Findings
TRC performed a function test on all fare boxes. This test was to verify that the fare boxes on all buses worked properly and printed transfers correctly. Upon review, TRC found that all fare boxes printed receipts as required.
CNG Tanks Review Findings
During this inspection, TRC also reviewed the CNG tank inspection documentation which records the inspection cycles of the CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) fuel cylinders on each bus. The required CNG tank inspections were on time and within mileage requirements for all buses inspected.
Specific Defect Summaries
All defects identified during the inspections were entered in a database which was used to generate a Master Defect Sheet. Data contained in that spreadsheet were then used to produce a series of detailed Excel reports. All audits performed by TRC for the Glendale Beeline buses have been combined on the data sheet to show a comparison of defects for each audit.
The following Excel spreadsheets produced by TRC for the City of Glendale are included as a CD attachment to this report:
• Defect Summary: includes a summary of defect totals and a summary of the 18 defect categories
• All Defects (Master Defect Sheet): identifies all defects for all buses inspected
• Defects by Category: identifies specific defects under each of the 18 categories
• “A” Defects: identifies all Class “A” defects
• “A” Defects All Audits: identifies all Class “A” defects for all audits • “B” Defects: identifies all Class “B” defects
• “C” Defects: identifies all Class “C” defects
• Buses Inspected: lists all buses inspected and those selected for a fluids analysis audit
As mentioned earlier, each defect was given a severity code:
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate removal from service and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.

Defect Analysis
Defects identified by TRC were analyzed to determine the severity or detrimental impact they pose in terms of safety, comfort and convenience, as well as structural integrity.
Safety
Three (3) Class “A” defects were found during this current inspection compared to two Class “A” defects the previous inspection. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on three (3) of the 13 buses inspected. These three Class “A” defects had to be repaired before the three buses could be allowed to return to revenue service. See Appendix D for Class “A” Defects for the Current Audit & Previous Audits.
The three Class “A” defects are listed in Table 3 which follows.

During this audit, TRC found the interiors and exteriors of buses to be kept clean and well maintained.
Structural Integrity
TRC did not observe any structural defects during this audit.
PMI Paperwork Review Findings
TRC also performs a PMI paperwork review during each inspection cycle. This audit found the PM work to be performed and documented properly for the buses inspected during this audit.
PMI Schedule Adherence
TRC examined the records of the thirteen (13) buses to determine if the PMIs were being done at scheduled 3,000-mile intervals. PMI intervals were considered “on time” if performed on or before 3,300 miles (“late window” of 10% or 300 miles).
The records examination also reviewed the oil change intervals. This review also showed on-time oil changes for all 13 buses.
The PMI records were well organized and easy to locate. TRC inspected the PMI paperwork to check on defects found during this audit and the results that followed.
A review was made to verify that problems were corrected by either repairs or replacement of components. Dan Denman reviewed the PMI paperwork. The review showed that PMI work was done on time and within mileage requirements for all units inspected. The review also showed that repairs were made to correct issues.
The review also looked for indications of deferred maintenance by reviewing defects 943 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses July 2022 TRC Engineering Services 8
found during PMI inspections and the work performed to correct these issues. TRC did not find indications of work being deferred during this audit.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random (9 samples). Results can be found in Table 4 which follows.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AUDIT
Thirteen (13) Buses
Conducted July 30, 2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRC Engineering Services (TRC) conducted a maintenance audit for the City of Glendale to ensure that its contractor, MV Transportation, Inc., maintains buses owned by the City of Glendale in accordance with its contract provisions. This report presents the findings of the maintenance audit of the Glendale Beeline buses which was conducted July 30, 2022. The audit consisted of a fleet inspection and maintenance record review of thirteen (13) buses. Fluid analysis samples were also taken from three (3) buses selected at random.
The results of this audit showed:
• The total number of defects found during this audit was 23, for an average of
1.77 defects per bus, compared to 42 total defects, for an average of 3.23 defects per bus, the previous audit. This inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.
• Three (3) Class “A” defects were found during this current audit compared to two Class “A” defects the previous audit. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and keeps the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on three (3) of the 13 buses inspected.
• The on-time adherence to preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) was within required guidelines. All inspected mileage accounts showed that PMI work had been done within 10% of the 3,000-mile interval threshold. TRC also reviewed the oil change intervals on these buses. The results showed that oil changes were also performed on time.
• Positive observations from this audit include the following:
o MV Transportation management and staff continue to be cooperative and prepared in providing a constant supply of buses for TRC to inspect, thus, ensuring that the audit inspections are efficiently carried out.
o PMI records continue to be well organized and easy to locate.
Additional audit findings are presented in various tables located throughout this report. The tables are based on data contained in Excel spreadsheets included on a separate CD as Appendix A to this report. A summary of recommendations is provided at the end of this report.

Audit Report
BACKGROUND
TRC conducted a maintenance audit of the Glendale Beeline buses on July 30, 2022.
Results from this audit will be compared to results of previous audits to inform the City of Glendale if the contractor’s maintenance performance is remaining the same, deteriorating, or improving over time.
BUSES INSPECTED
Thirteen buses received a physical inspection and PMI records review. Table 1 identifies these 13 buses and the three buses selected at random that received a fluids analysis audit.
EVALUATION CRITERIA & METHODOLOGY
TRC assigned a team of three bus inspectors to perform the maintenance audit, physically inspect the buses, and draw fluid samples. The inspection team members were Dan Denman, Greg Dowell, and Larry Perkins. Greg Dowell served as the onsite supervisor and entered the defects identified by the inspection team. Dan Denman served as Project Manager and prepared the final report. The material which follows describes the evaluation criteria and methodology used by TRC to conduct the fleet inspection and the records and fluids analysis audit.
Fleet Inspection
Specific defects documented during the bus inspections were classified under 18 functional categories:

An “A/B/C” designation system was used to distinguish defects requiring immediate repair from those that could be repaired at a later time.
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Class “A” safety-related defects were discussed and agreed upon between the City of Glendale and the TRC inspectors during the initial inspection and have remained the same for all subsequent audits. A list of the Class “A” defects regarded as being safety related for this audit is attached as Appendix B. During the inspection, TRC provided MV Transportation and the City of Glendale staff with copies of the defect lists for use in scheduling repairs. TRC inspectors also verified operation of certain controls to ensure that defects were legitimate ones and not the result of the inspectors being unfamiliar with specific bus equipment.
Records and Fluids Analysis Audit
The audit team selected three (3) buses at random for the fluids analysis audit and reviewed PMI records for all 13 buses. The fluids analysis audit included taking engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from each of the selected buses.
The records examination set out to determine if:
• Preventive maintenance (PM) had been performed correctly and at prescribed intervals.
• Repairs had been performed properly and made promptly. 956 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses July 2022 TRC Engineering Services 4
PM Intervals
To determine if preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) were performed correctly and on time, TRC examined the PMI records of the 13 buses. Mileage between the last three scheduled PMIs was calculated to determine if the inspections were performed on time (within 10% or 300 miles of the scheduled 3,000-mile interval) or if they were late.
Repairs
To determine if repairs were performed properly and made promptly, two audit procedures were used:
1) PMI sheets going back to the previous three PMIs were selected and examined for each of the 13 buses to determine if and when defects defined during the PMI process were repaired.
2) Defects from the previous three PMIs were then compared to determine if any defects were repeated from one PMI to the next.
From this comparison, TRC can determine if the defects were repaired or if they were simply noted on subsequent inspections.
Fluids Analysis Management
TRC uses a fluids analysis program to verify any problems which may have occurred before the initial inspection. TRC examined the engine and transmission oil change records for each of the thirteen (13) buses going back at least two PMIs (26 records). TRC also reviewed the mileage between oil changes to verify that the buses were being serviced at the appropriate 6,000-mile oil change intervals and that the records were properly filed for easy reference.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random and will review those results (9 samples) when received.
In reviewing the results, TRC looks for evidence of inappropriate levels of deterioration.
FINDINGS
Overall Fleet Condition
The total number of defects found during this audit was 23, for an average of 1.77 defects per bus, compared to 42 total defects, for an average of 3.23 defects per bus, the previous audit. As illustrated in the chart which follows, this inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.

Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses July 2022 TRC Engineering Services 5
TRC also compared the average number of defects per bus based on the fleet age of the inspected buses for each fiscal year. This inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022. Table 2 which follows shows no specific correlation between fleet age and the average number of defects per bus.
Defects Findings
Defects were found in the Accessibility Features, Driver’s Controls, Engine Compartment, Exterior Body Condition, Interior Condition, Lights, Safety Equipment, and Suspension/Steering categories. The Engine Compartment and Suspension/Steering categories showed the most defects with a total of six (6) defects each. After each inspection, the results are reviewed against previous audits to find possible trends in defects. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.

Function Test of Fare Boxes Findings
TRC performed a function test on all fare boxes. This test was to verify that the fare boxes on all buses worked properly and printed transfers correctly. Upon review, TRC found that all fare boxes printed receipts as required.
CNG Tanks Review Findings
During this inspection, TRC also reviewed the CNG tank inspection documentation which records the inspection cycles of the CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) fuel cylinders on each bus. The required CNG tank inspections were on time and within mileage requirements for all buses inspected.
Specific Defect Summaries
All defects identified during the inspections were entered in a database which was used to generate a Master Defect Sheet. Data contained in that spreadsheet were then used to produce a series of detailed Excel reports. All audits performed by TRC for the Glendale Beeline buses have been combined on the data sheet to show a comparison of defects for each audit.
The following Excel spreadsheets produced by TRC for the City of Glendale are included as a CD attachment to this report:
• Defect Summary: includes a summary of defect totals and a summary of the 18 defect categories
• All Defects (Master Defect Sheet): identifies all defects for all buses inspected
• Defects by Category: identifies specific defects under each of the 18 categories
• “A” Defects: identifies all Class “A” defects
• “A” Defects All Audits: identifies all Class “A” defects for all audits • “B” Defects: identifies all Class “B” defects
• “C” Defects: identifies all Class “C” defects
• Buses Inspected: lists all buses inspected and those selected for a fluids analysis audit
As mentioned earlier, each defect was given a severity code:
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate removal from service and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.

Defects identified by TRC were analyzed to determine the severity or detrimental impact they pose in terms of safety, comfort and convenience, as well as structural integrity.
Safety
Three (3) Class “A” defects were found during this current inspection compared to two Class “A” defects the previous inspection. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on three (3) of the 13 buses inspected. These three Class “A” defects had to be repaired before the three buses could be allowed to return to revenue service. See Appendix D for Class “A” Defects for the Current Audit & Previous Audits.
The three Class “A” defects are listed in Table 3 which follows.

During this audit, TRC found the interiors and exteriors of buses to be kept clean and well maintained.
Structural Integrity
TRC did not observe any structural defects during this audit.
PMI Paperwork Review Findings
TRC also performs a PMI paperwork review during each inspection cycle. This audit found the PM work to be performed and documented properly for the buses inspected during this audit.
PMI Schedule Adherence
TRC examined the records of the thirteen (13) buses to determine if the PMIs were being done at scheduled 3,000-mile intervals. PMI intervals were considered “on time” if performed on or before 3,300 miles (“late window” of 10% or 300 miles).
The records examination also reviewed the oil change intervals. This review also showed on-time oil changes for all 13 buses.
The PMI records were well organized and easy to locate. TRC inspected the PMI paperwork to check on defects found during this audit and the results that followed.
A review was made to verify that problems were corrected by either repairs or replacement of components. Dan Denman reviewed the PMI paperwork. The review showed that PMI work was done on time and within mileage requirements for all units inspected. The review also showed that repairs were made to correct issues.
The review also looked for indications of deferred maintenance by reviewing defects 960 of 1291

found during PMI inspections and the work performed to correct these issues. TRC did not find indications of work being deferred during this audit.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random (9 samples). Results can be found in Table 4 which follows.

THE CITY OF GLENDALE / BEELINE BUSES
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AUDIT
Thirteen (13) Buses
Conducted October 22, 2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRC Engineering Services (TRC) conducted a maintenance audit for the City of Glendale to ensure that its contractor, MV Transportation, Inc., maintains buses owned by the City of Glendale in accordance with its contract provisions. This report presents the findings of the maintenance audit of the Glendale Beeline buses which was conducted October 22, 2022. The audit consisted of a fleet inspection and maintenance record review of thirteen (13) buses. Fluid analysis samples were also taken from three (3) buses selected at random.
The results of this audit showed:
• The total number of defects found during this audit was 56, for an average of
4.31 defects per bus, up considerably when compared to 23 total defects, for an average of 1.77 defects per bus, the previous audit. This inspection showed an increase in the average number of defects per bus when compared to annual audit averages for FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, FY 2022, and the July 2022 quarterly audit average. The Year-toYear Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C. • Eleven (11) Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.85 Class “A” defects per bus, were found during this current audit compared to three Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.23 Class “A” defects per bus, the previous audit.
A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and keeps the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on nine (9) of the 13 buses inspected. • The on-time adherence to preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) was within required guidelines. All inspected mileage accounts showed that PMI work had been done within 10% of the 3,000-mile interval threshold. TRC also reviewed the oil change intervals on these buses. The results showed that oil changes were also performed on time.
• Positive observations from this audit include the following:
o MV Transportation management and staff continue to be cooperative and prepared in providing a constant supply of buses for TRC to inspect, thus, ensuring that the audit inspections are efficiently carried out.
o PMI records continue to be well organized and easy to locate.
Additional audit findings are presented in various tables located throughout this report. The tables are based on data contained in Excel spreadsheets included on a separate CD as Appendix A to this report. A summary of recommendations is provided at the end of this report.

Audit Report
BACKGROUND
TRC conducted a maintenance audit of the Glendale Beeline buses on October 22, 2022. Results from this audit will be compared to results of previous audits to inform the City of Glendale if the contractor’s maintenance performance is remaining the same, deteriorating, or improving over time.
BUSES INSPECTED
Thirteen buses received a physical inspection and PMI records review. Table 1 identifies these 13 buses and the three buses selected at random that received a fluids analysis audit.
EVALUATION CRITERIA & METHODOLOGY
TRC assigned a team of three bus inspectors to perform the maintenance audit, physically inspect the buses, and draw fluid samples. The inspection team members were Dan Denman, Greg Dowell, and Larry Perkins. Greg Dowell served as the onsite supervisor and entered the defects identified by the inspection team. Dan Denman served as Project Manager and prepared the final report. The material which follows describes the evaluation criteria and methodology used by TRC to conduct the fleet inspection and the records and fluids analysis audit.

An “A/B/C” designation system was used to distinguish defects requiring immediate repair from those that could be repaired at a later time.
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Class “A” safety-related defects were discussed and agreed upon between the City of Glendale and the TRC inspectors during the initial inspection and have remained the same for all subsequent audits. A list of the Class “A” defects regarded as being safety related for this audit is attached as Appendix B. During the inspection, TRC provided MV Transportation and the City of Glendale staff with copies of the defect lists for use in scheduling repairs. TRC inspectors also verified operation of certain controls to ensure that defects were legitimate ones and not the result of the inspectors being unfamiliar with specific bus equipment.
Records and Fluids Analysis Audit
The audit team selected three (3) buses at random for the fluids analysis audit and reviewed PMI records for all 13 buses. The fluids analysis audit included taking engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from each of the selected buses.
The records examination set out to determine if:
• Preventive maintenance (PM) had been performed correctly and at prescribed intervals.
• Repairs had been performed properly and made promptly. 973 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses October 2022 TRC Engineering Services 4
PM Intervals
To determine if preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) were performed correctly and on time, TRC examined the PMI records of the 13 buses. Mileage between the last three scheduled PMIs was calculated to determine if the inspections were performed on time (within 10% or 300 miles of the scheduled 3,000-mile interval) or if they were late.
Repairs
To determine if repairs were performed properly and made promptly, two audit procedures were used:
1) PMI sheets going back to the previous three PMIs were selected and examined for each of the 13 buses to determine if and when defects defined during the PMI process were repaired.
2) Defects from the previous three PMIs were then compared to determine if any defects were repeated from one PMI to the next.
From this comparison, TRC can determine if the defects were repaired or if they were simply noted on subsequent inspections.
Fluids Analysis Management
TRC uses a fluids analysis program to verify any problems which may have occurred before the initial inspection. TRC examined the engine and transmission oil change records for each of the thirteen (13) buses going back at least two PMIs (26 records). TRC also reviewed the mileage between oil changes to verify that the buses were being serviced at the appropriate 6,000-mile oil change intervals and that the records were properly filed for easy reference.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random and will review those results (9 samples) when received.
In reviewing the results, TRC looks for evidence of inappropriate levels of deterioration.
FINDINGS
Overall Fleet Condition
The total number of defects found during this audit was 56, for an average of 4.31 defects per bus, up considerably when compared to 23 total defects, for an average of 1.77 defects per bus, the previous audit. As illustrated in the chart which follows, this inspection showed an increase in the average number of defects per bus when compared to the annual audit averages for FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, FY 2022, and the July 2022 quarterly audit results. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.

TRC also compared the average number of defects per bus based on the fleet age of the inspected buses for each fiscal year. This inspection showed an increase in the average number of defects per bus when compared to FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, FY 2022, and the July 2022 quarterly audit results.
Table 2 which follows shows an increase in the average number of defects per bus which may also be due, in part, to the age of the buses inspected.
Defects Findings
Defects were found in the Climate Control, Driver’s Controls, Electrical System, Engine Compartment, Exterior Body Condition, Interior Condition, Lights, Safety Equipment, Suspension/Steering, Tires, and Transmission categories. The Engine Compartment category showed the most defects with a total of eighteen (18) defects compared to six engine compartment defects the previous audit. After each inspection, the results are reviewed against previous audits to find possible trends in defects. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.

Function Test of Fare Boxes Findings
TRC performed a function test on all fare boxes. This test was to verify that the fare boxes on all buses worked properly and printed transfers correctly. Upon review, TRC found that all buses with fare boxes printed receipts as required.
CNG Tanks Review Findings
During this inspection, TRC also reviewed the CNG tank inspection documentation which records the inspection cycles of the CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) fuel cylinders on each bus. The required CNG tank inspections were on time and within mileage requirements for all buses inspected.
Specific Defect Summaries
All defects identified during the inspections were entered in a database which was used to generate a Master Defect Sheet. Data contained in that spreadsheet were then used to produce a series of detailed Excel reports. All audits performed by TRC for the Glendale Beeline buses have been combined on the data sheet to show a comparison of defects for each audit.
The following Excel spreadsheets produced by TRC for the City of Glendale are included as a CD attachment to this report:
• Defect Summary: includes a summary of defect totals and a summary of the 18 defect categories
• All Defects (Master Defect Sheet): identifies all defects for all buses inspected
• Defects by Category: identifies specific defects under each of the 18 categories
• “A” Defects: identifies all Class “A” defects
• “A” Defects All Audits: identifies all Class “A” defects for all audits • “B” Defects: identifies all Class “B” defects
• “C” Defects: identifies all Class “C” defects
• Buses Inspected: lists all buses inspected and those selected for a fluids analysis audit
As mentioned earlier, each defect was given a severity code:
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate removal from service and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.

Defect Analysis
Defects identified by TRC were analyzed to determine the severity or detrimental impact they pose in terms of safety, comfort and convenience, as well as structural integrity.
Safety
Eleven (11) Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.85 Class “A” defects per bus, were found during this current inspection compared to three Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.23 Class “A” defects, the previous inspection. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on nine (9) of the 13 buses inspected. These 11 Class “A” defects had to be repaired before the nine buses could be allowed to return to revenue service. See Appendix D for Class “A” Defects for the Current Audit & Previous Audits.
The eleven Class “A” defects are listed in Table 3 which follows.

Comfort and Convenience
During this audit, TRC found the interiors and exteriors of buses to be kept clean and well maintained.
Structural Integrity
TRC did not observe any structural defects during this audit.
PMI Paperwork Review Findings
TRC also performs a PMI paperwork review during each inspection cycle. This audit found the PM work to be performed and documented properly for the buses inspected during this audit.
PMI Schedule Adherence
TRC examined the records of the thirteen (13) buses to determine if the PMIs were being done at scheduled 3,000-mile intervals. PMI intervals were considered “on time” if performed on or before 3,300 miles (“late window” of 10% or 300 miles). 977 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses October 2022 TRC Engineering Services 8
The records examination also reviewed the oil change intervals. This review also showed on-time oil changes for all 13 buses.
The PMI records were well organized and easy to locate. TRC inspected the PMI paperwork to check on defects found during this audit and the results that followed.
A review was made to verify that problems were corrected by either repairs or replacement of components. Dan Denman reviewed the PMI paperwork. The review showed that PMI work was done on time and within mileage requirements for all units inspected. The review also showed that repairs were made to correct issues.
The review also looked for indications of deferred maintenance by reviewing defects found during PMI inspections and the work performed to correct these issues. TRC did not find indications of work being deferred during this audit.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random (9 samples). Results can be found in Table 4 which follows.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
• TRC recommends that MV Transportation review the steering components on all buses and correct any issues. This audit found one (1) bus with worn steering drag link ends, two (2) buses that had steering gear boxes leaking oil, and one (1) bus that had a damaged tie rod end boot.
• TRC found multiple defects during this audit which should have been identified by the Daily Vehicle Inspections (DVIs) that are performed by the driving staff.
These included exterior lighting defects, tire issues (flat and below tread depth limits), illuminated service lights on the dash, inoperative safety components, and inoperative driver’s seat adjustments. These should be identified so that they can be repaired prior to normal PMI operations.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AUDIT
Seven (7) Dial-A-Ride Paratransit Vehicles
Conducted October 22, 2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRC Engineering Services (TRC) conducted a maintenance audit for the City of Glendale to ensure that its maintenance contractor, MV Transportation, Inc., maintains vehicles owned by the City of Glendale in accordance with its contract provisions. This report presents the findings of the maintenance audit of the City of Glendale’s paratransit vehicles which was conducted October 22, 2022. The audit consisted of a fleet inspection and maintenance record review of seven (7) vehicles.
Fluid analysis samples were also taken from two (2) vehicles selected at random.
The results of this audit showed:
• The total number of defects found during this audit was eighteen (18), for an average of 2.57 defects per vehicle, compared to 11 total defects, for an average of 1.57 defects per vehicle, the previous audit. This inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per vehicle when compared to FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2021, and FY 2022, however, showed an increase when compared to FY 2016, FY 2019, and the July 2022 quarterly audit results. FY 2020 also experienced an average of 2.57 defects per vehicle. The Year-to-Year Summary of Defects by Category table is attached as Appendix C.
• Seven (7) Class “A” defects, for an average of 1.0 Class “A” defect per vehicle, were found during this audit compared to seven Class “A” defects the previous audit. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and keeps the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on five (5) of the seven vehicles inspected. TRC will review the PMI paperwork on the vehicles that had Class “A” defects during the next scheduled audit to verify that the repairs of the defects were completed in a timely manner and the vehicles were returned to service. • During the paperwork review, TRC found that PMI work had been performed on time and within mileage requirements. PMI intervals are considered “on time” if performed on or before 3,000 miles (“late window” of 10% or 300 miles, bringing the total to 3,300 miles).
Positive observations from this audit include the following:
• MV Transportation management and staff were cooperative in providing a constant supply of vehicles for TRC to inspect, thus, ensuring that the audit inspections were efficiently carried out. • PMI records were organized and easy to locate during the PMI paperwork review.

Audit Report
BACKGROUND
TRC conducted a maintenance audit for the City of Glendale on October 22, 2022 to ensure that the maintenance contractor, MV Transportation, is maintaining the seven (7) paratransit vehicles owned by the City of Glendale in accordance with its contract provisions. Results from this audit will be compared to results of previous audits to inform the City of Glendale if the contractor’s maintenance performance is remaining the same, deteriorating, or improving over time.
VEHICLES INSPECTED
Seven (7) paratransit vehicles received a physical inspection and PMI records review.
Table 1 identifies these seven vehicles and the two vehicles selected at random that received a fluids analysis audit.
EVALUATION CRITERIA & METHODOLOGY
TRC assigned a team of three inspectors to perform the maintenance audit and physically inspect the vehicles. The inspection team members were Dan Denman, Greg Dowell, and Larry Perkins. Greg Dowell served as the on-site supervisor and entered the defects identified by the inspection team. Mr. Denman served as Project Manager and organized the overall inspection process and prepared the final report.
The material which follows describes the evaluation criteria and methodology used by TRC to conduct the fleet inspection.

An “A/B/C” designation system was used to distinguish defects requiring immediate repair from those that could be repaired at a later time.
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C - Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Class “A” safety defects were discussed and agreed upon between the City of Glendale and the TRC inspectors during the initial inspection and will remain the same for all subsequent audits. A list of the Class “A” defects regarded as being safety related for this audit is attached as Appendix B.
During the inspection process, TRC inspectors verified operation of certain controls to ensure that defects were legitimate ones and not the result of the inspectors being unfamiliar with specific vehicle equipment.
Records Audit
The audit team reviewed PMI records for all seven (7) vehicles. The records examination set out to determine if:
• Preventive maintenance (PM) had been performed correctly and at prescribed intervals.
• Repairs had been performed properly and made promptly. 990 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Seven (7) Paratransit Vehicles October 2022 TRC Engineering Services 4
TRC also reviewed the work orders for each vehicle. This review was performed to ensure that work identified by drivers’ pre-trip inspections and road failures was being properly documented and repaired.
PM Intervals
To determine if preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) were performed correctly and on time, TRC examined the PMI records of the seven (7) vehicles. Mileage between the scheduled PMIs was calculated to determine if the inspections were performed on time (within 10% or 300 miles of the scheduled 3,000-mile interval) or if they were late.
Repairs
To determine if repairs were performed properly and made promptly, two audit procedures were used:
1) PMI sheets were selected and examined for each of the seven (7) vehicles to determine if and when defects defined during the PMI process were repaired.
2) Defects from PMIs were then compared to determine if any defects were repeated from one PMI to the next.
From this comparison, TRC can determine if the defects were repaired or if they were simply noted on subsequent inspections.
Fluids Analysis Management
TRC uses a fluids analysis program to verify any problems which may have occurred before the initial inspection. TRC examined the engine and transmission oil change records for each of the seven (7) vehicles going back at least three (3) PMIs (21 records). TRC also reviewed the mileage between oil changes to verify that the vehicles were being serviced at the appropriate 3,000-mile oil change intervals and if the records were properly filed for easy reference.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from two (2) of the units selected at random and reviewed those results (6 samples total). In reviewing the results, TRC looks for evidence of inappropriate levels of deterioration.
FINDINGS
Overall Fleet Condition
The total number of defects found during this audit was eighteen (18), for an average of 2.57 defects per vehicle, compared to 11 total defects, for an average of
1.57 defects per vehicle, the previous audit. As illustrated in the chart which follows, this inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per vehicle when compared to FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2021, and FY 2022, however, showed an increase when compared to FY 2016, FY 2019, and the July 2022 quarterly audit results. FY 2020 also experienced an average of 2.57 defects per vehicle. 991 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Seven (7) Paratransit Vehicles October 2022 TRC Engineering Services 5
Defects were found in the Accessibility Features, Air System/Brake System, Driver’s Controls, Engine Compartment, Exterior Body Condition, Interior Condition, Lights, and Suspension/Steering categories. The Driver’s Controls and Engine Compartment categories showed the most defects with a total of five (5) defects each. The Yearto-Year Summary of Defects by Category table is attached as Appendix C.
During the inspection cycle, TRC also evaluated the general condition of the MV Transportation shop. This evaluation showed that the shop was organized and work areas, both inside and outside the building, were free of unnecessary tools or equipment.
Specific Defect Summaries
All of the defects identified during the inspections were entered in a database which was used to generate a Master Defect Sheet. Data contained in that spreadsheet were then used to produce a series of detailed Excel reports.
The following Excel spreadsheets produced by TRC for the City of Glendale are included as a CD attachment to this report.
• Defect Summary: includes a summary of defect totals and a summary of the 18 defect categories
• All Defects (Master Defect Sheet): identifies all defects for all vehicles inspected
• Defects by Category: identifies specific defects under each of the 18 categories
• “A” Defects: identifies all Class “A” defects
• “B” Defects: identifies all Class “B” defects
• “C” Defects: identifies all Class “C” defects

• Vehicles Inspected: lists all vehicles inspected and those selected for a fluids analysis audit
As mentioned earlier, each defect was given a severity code:
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate removal from service and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Defect Analysis
Defects identified by TRC were analyzed to determine the severity or detrimental impact they pose in terms of safety, comfort and convenience, and structural integrity.
Safety
Seven (7) Class “A” safety-related defects, for an average of 1.00 Class “A” defects per vehicle, were identified during this inspection, compared seven Class “A” defects the previous audit. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and keeps the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on five (5) of the seven vehicles inspected. TRC will review the PMI paperwork on the vehicles that had the Class “A” defects during the next scheduled audit to verify that the repairs of the defects were completed in a timely manner and the vehicles were returned to service.

PMI Schedule Adherence
TRC examined the records of the seven (7) vehicles to determine if the PMIs were being done at scheduled 3,000-mile intervals. PMI intervals are considered “on time” if performed on or before 3,000 miles (“late window” of 10% or 300 miles, bringing the total to 3,300 miles). TRC found that PMI work had been performed on time and within mileage requirements.
All PMI records were organized and easy to locate. TRC inspected the PMI paperwork to check on defects found during normal maintenance operations. A review was made to verify that defects found during normal PMI inspections were corrected by either repairs or replacement of components. Dan Denman reviewed the PMI paperwork. This review showed that the MV Transportation crew repaired or replaced items that were found defective during PMI efforts. The review also looked for indications of deferred maintenance by reviewing defects found during PMI inspections and the work performed to correct these issues. TRC did not find indications of work being deferred during this audit.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from two (2) vehicles selected at random (6 samples). Results can be found in Table 3 which follows.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
• TRC recommends that the wheelchair lifts and ramps on all units in the fleet be reviewed for proper operation. This audit found two issues around the wheelchair lift areas on units D1 and D5.
• TRC also recommends that all defects be reviewed with maintenance and driving staff, making them aware of items that may be missing on PMI work and also defects that should be shown on the Daily Vehicle Inspection (DVI) documentation performed by drivers.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AUDIT
Thirteen (13) Buses
Conducted January 21, 2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRC Engineering Services (TRC) conducted a maintenance audit for the City of Glendale to ensure that its contractor, MV Transportation, Inc., maintains buses owned by the City of Glendale in accordance with its contract provisions. This report presents the findings of the maintenance audit of the Glendale Beeline buses which was conducted on January 21, 2023. The audit consisted of a fleet inspection and maintenance record review of thirteen (13) buses. Fluid analysis samples were also taken from three (3) buses selected at random.
The results of this audit showed:
• The total number of defects found during this audit was 37, for an average of
2.85 defects per bus, compared to 56 total defects, for an average of 4.31 defects per bus, the previous audit. This inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to the October 2022 audit results, however, showed an increase in the average number of defects per bus when compared to annual audit averages for FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022, and the July 2022 quarterly audit results. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.
• Six (6) Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.46 Class “A” defects per bus, were found during this current audit compared to 11 Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.85 Class “A” defects per bus, the previous audit. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and keeps the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on six (6) of the 13 buses inspected. • The on-time adherence to preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) was within required guidelines. All inspected mileage accounts showed that PMI work had been done within 10% of the 3,000-mile interval threshold. TRC also reviewed the oil change intervals on these buses. The results showed that oil changes were also performed on time.
• Positive observations from this audit include the following:
o MV Transportation management and staff continue to be cooperative and prepared in providing a constant supply of buses for TRC to inspect, thus, ensuring that the audit inspections are efficiently carried out.
o PMI records continue to be well organized and easy to locate. 1000 of 1291

Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Class “A” safety-related defects were discussed and agreed upon between the City of Glendale and the TRC inspectors during the initial inspection and have remained the same for all subsequent audits. A list of the Class “A” defects regarded as being safety related for this audit is attached as Appendix B. During the inspection, TRC provided MV Transportation and the City of Glendale staff with copies of the defect lists for use in scheduling repairs. TRC inspectors also verified operation of certain controls to ensure that defects were legitimate ones and not the result of the inspectors being unfamiliar with specific bus equipment.
Records and Fluids Analysis Audit
The audit team selected three (3) buses at random for the fluids analysis audit and reviewed PMI records for all 13 buses. The fluids analysis audit included taking 1002 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses January 2023 TRC Engineering Services 4
engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from each of the selected buses.
The records examination set out to determine if:
• Preventive maintenance (PM) had been performed correctly and at prescribed intervals.
• Repairs had been performed properly and made promptly.
PM Intervals
To determine if preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) were performed correctly and on time, TRC examined the PMI records of the 13 buses. Mileage between the last three scheduled PMIs was calculated to determine if the inspections were performed on time (within 10% or 300 miles of the scheduled 3,000-mile interval) or if they were late.
Repairs
To determine if repairs were performed properly and made promptly, two audit procedures were used:
1) PMI sheets going back to the previous three PMIs were selected and examined for each of the 13 buses to determine if and when defects defined during the PMI process were repaired.
2) Defects from the previous three PMIs were then compared to determine if any defects were repeated from one PMI to the next.
From this comparison, TRC can determine if the defects were repaired or if they were simply noted on subsequent inspections.
Fluids Analysis Management
TRC uses a fluids analysis program to verify any problems which may have occurred before the initial inspection. TRC examined the engine and transmission oil change records for each of the thirteen (13) buses going back at least two PMIs (26 records). TRC also reviewed the mileage between oil changes to verify that the buses were being serviced at the appropriate 6,000-mile oil change intervals and that the records were properly filed for easy reference.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random and will review those results (9 samples) when received.
In reviewing the results, TRC looks for evidence of inappropriate levels of deterioration.
FINDINGS
Overall Fleet Condition
The total number of defects found during this audit was 37, for an average of 2.85 defects per bus, down considerably when compared to 56 total defects, for an average of 4.31 defects per bus, the previous audit. As illustrated in the chart which follows, this inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to the October 2022 audit results, however, showed an increase in the average number of defects per bus when compared to the annual audit averages for FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022, and the 1003 of 1291

trends in defects. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.
Function Test of Fare Boxes Findings
TRC performed a function test on all fare boxes. This test was to verify that the fare boxes on all buses worked properly and printed transfers correctly. Upon review, TRC found that all buses with fare boxes printed receipts as required.
CNG Tanks Review Findings
During this inspection, TRC also reviewed the CNG tank inspection documentation which records the inspection cycles of the CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) fuel cylinders on each bus. The required CNG tank inspections were on time and within mileage requirements for all buses inspected.
Specific Defect Summaries
All defects identified during the inspections were entered in a database which was used to generate a Master Defect Sheet. Data contained in that spreadsheet were then used to produce a series of detailed Excel reports. All audits performed by TRC for the Glendale Beeline buses have been combined on the data sheet to show a comparison of defects for each audit.
The following Excel spreadsheets produced by TRC for the City of Glendale are included as a CD attachment to this report:
• Defect Summary: includes a summary of defect totals and a summary of the 18 defect categories
• All Defects (Master Defect Sheet): identifies all defects for all buses inspected
• Defects by Category: identifies specific defects under each of the 18 categories
• “A” Defects: identifies all Class “A” defects
• “A” Defects All Audits: identifies all Class “A” defects for all audits • “B” Defects: identifies all Class “B” defects
• “C” Defects: identifies all Class “C” defects
• Buses Inspected: lists all buses inspected and those selected for a fluids analysis audit
As mentioned earlier, each defect was given a severity code:
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate removal from service and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval. 1005 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses January 2023 TRC Engineering Services 7
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Defect Analysis
Defects identified by TRC were analyzed to determine the severity or detrimental impact they pose in terms of safety, comfort and convenience, as well as structural integrity.
Safety
Six (6) Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.46 Class “A” defects per bus, were found during this current inspection compared to 11 Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.85 Class “A” defects, the previous inspection. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on six (6) of the 13 buses inspected. These six Class “A” defects had to be repaired before the six buses could be allowed to return to revenue service. The six Class “A” defects are listed in Table 3 which follows.

Comfort and Convenience
During this audit, TRC found the interiors and exteriors of buses to be kept clean and well maintained.
Structural Integrity
TRC did not observe any structural defects during this audit.
PMI Paperwork Review Findings
TRC also performs a PMI paperwork review during each inspection cycle. This audit found the PM work to be performed and documented properly for the buses inspected during this audit.
PMI Schedule Adherence
TRC examined the records of the thirteen (13) buses to determine if the PMIs were being done at scheduled 3,000-mile intervals. PMI intervals were considered “on time” if performed on or before 3,300 miles (“late window” of 10% or 300 miles).
TRC found that all PMIs were conducted on time. The records examination also 1006 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Thirteen (13) Buses January 2023 TRC Engineering Services 8
reviewed the oil change intervals. This review also showed on-time oil changes for all 13 buses.
The PMI records were well organized and easy to locate. TRC inspected the PMI paperwork to check on defects found during this audit and the results that followed.
A review was made to verify that problems were corrected by either repairs or replacement of components. Dan Denman reviewed the PMI paperwork. The review showed that PMI work was done on time and within mileage requirements for all units inspected. The review also showed that repairs were made to correct issues.
The review also looked for indications of deferred maintenance by reviewing defects found during PMI inspections and the work performed to correct these issues. TRC did not find indications of work being deferred during this audit.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random (9 samples). Results can be found in Table 4 which follows.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
• TRC recommends that MV Transportation review the steering components on all buses and correct any issues. This audit found two (2) buses with worn steering drag link ends and one (1) bus that had an oil leak at the steering gear box. • TRC also recommends that MV Transportation review all engine compartments of the bus fleet for fluid leaks. This audit found seven (7) of the 13 units had fluid leaks in the engine compartments. These included spinner filter areas, transmission coolers, transmission areas, air compressor areas, and hydraulic pump areas. These should be identified so they can be repaired prior to and during normal PMI operations.

• TRC also recommends that all brake chambers be reviewed. This audit found two (2) instances where the brake chamber rod dropped at the end of the stroke upon full brake applications, showing internal wear of components. This wear should be identified and replacements installed to ensure proper braking on the buses.

VEHICLE MAINTENANCE AUDIT
Seven (7) Dial-A-Ride Paratransit Vehicles
Conducted January 20, 2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRC Engineering Services (TRC) conducted a maintenance audit for the City of Glendale to ensure that its maintenance contractor, MV Transportation, Inc., maintains vehicles owned by the City of Glendale in accordance with its contract provisions. This report presents the findings of the maintenance audit of the City of Glendale’s Dial-A-Ride paratransit vehicles which was conducted January 20, 2023.
The audit consisted of a fleet inspection and maintenance record review of seven (7) vehicles. Fluid analysis samples were also taken from two (2) vehicles selected at random.
The results of this audit showed:
• The total number of defects found during this audit was twenty-four (24), for an average of 3.43 defects per vehicle, compared to 18 total defects, for an average of 2.57 defects per vehicle, the previous audit. This inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per vehicle when compared to the annual audit averages for FY 2017 and FY 2018, however, showed an increase when compared to annual audit averages for FY 2016, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022, and the July 2022 and October 2022 quarterly audit results. The Year-to-Year Summary of Defects by Category table is attached as Appendix C. • Ten (10) Class “A” defects, for an average of 1.43 Class “A” defect per vehicle, were found during this audit compared to seven Class “A” defects, for an average of 1.00 Class “A” defects per vehicle, the previous audit. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and keeps the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on six (6) of the seven vehicles inspected. TRC will review the PMI paperwork on the vehicles that had Class “A” defects during the next scheduled audit to verify that the repairs of the defects were completed in a timely manner and the vehicles were returned to service.
• During the paperwork review, TRC found that PMI work had been performed on time and within mileage requirements. PMI intervals are considered “on time” if performed on or before 3,000 miles (“late window” of 10% or 300 miles, bringing the total to 3,300 miles).
Positive observations from this audit include the following:
• MV Transportation management and staff were cooperative in providing a constant supply of vehicles for TRC to inspect, thus, ensuring that the audit inspections were efficiently carried out. • PMI records were organized and easy to locate during the PMI paperwork review.

Audit Report
BACKGROUND
TRC conducted a maintenance audit for the City of Glendale on January 20, 2023 to ensure that the maintenance contractor, MV Transportation, is maintaining the seven (7) paratransit vehicles owned by the City of Glendale in accordance with its contract provisions. Results from this audit will be compared to results of previous audits to inform the City of Glendale if the contractor’s maintenance performance is remaining the same, deteriorating, or improving over time.
VEHICLES INSPECTED
Seven (7) paratransit vehicles received a physical inspection and PMI records review.
Table 1 identifies these seven vehicles and the two vehicles selected at random that received a fluids analysis audit.
EVALUATION CRITERIA & METHODOLOGY
TRC assigned a team of three inspectors to perform the maintenance audit and physically inspect the vehicles. The inspection team members were Dan Denman, Greg Dowell, and Larry Perkins. Greg Dowell served as the on-site supervisor and entered the defects identified by the inspection team. Mr. Denman served as Project Manager and organized the overall inspection process and prepared the final report.
The material which follows describes the evaluation criteria and methodology used by TRC to conduct the fleet inspection.
Fleet Inspection
Specific defects documented during the inspections were classified under 18 functional categories:

An “A/B/C” designation system was used to distinguish defects requiring immediate repair from those that could be repaired at a later time.
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C - Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Class “A” safety defects were discussed and agreed upon between the City of Glendale and the TRC inspectors during the initial inspection and will remain the same for all subsequent audits. A list of the Class “A” defects regarded as being safety related for this audit is attached as Appendix B.
During the inspection process, TRC inspectors verified operation of certain controls to ensure that defects were legitimate ones and not the result of the inspectors being unfamiliar with specific vehicle equipment.
Records Audit
The audit team reviewed PMI records for all seven (7) vehicles. The records examination set out to determine if:
• Preventive maintenance (PM) had been performed correctly and at prescribed intervals.
• Repairs had been performed properly and made promptly. 1020 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Seven (7) Dial-A-Ride Paratransit Vehicles January 2023 TRC Engineering Services 4
TRC also reviewed the work orders for each vehicle. This review was performed to ensure that work identified by drivers’ pre-trip inspections and road failures was being properly documented and repaired.
PM Intervals
To determine if preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) were performed correctly and on time, TRC examined the PMI records of the seven (7) vehicles. Mileage between the scheduled PMIs was calculated to determine if the inspections were performed on time (within 10% or 300 miles of the scheduled 3,000-mile interval) or if they were late.
Repairs
To determine if repairs were performed properly and made promptly, two audit procedures were used:
1) PMI sheets were selected and examined for each of the seven (7) vehicles to determine if and when defects defined during the PMI process were repaired.
2) Defects from PMIs were then compared to determine if any defects were repeated from one PMI to the next.
From this comparison, TRC can determine if the defects were repaired or if they were simply noted on subsequent inspections.
Fluids Analysis Management
TRC uses a fluids analysis program to verify any problems which may have occurred before the initial inspection. TRC examined the engine and transmission oil change records for each of the seven (7) vehicles going back at least three (3) PMIs (21 records). TRC also reviewed the mileage between oil changes to verify that the vehicles were being serviced at the appropriate 3,000-mile oil change intervals and if the records were properly filed for easy reference.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from two (2) of the units selected at random and reviewed those results (6 samples total). In reviewing the results, TRC looks for evidence of inappropriate levels of deterioration.
FINDINGS
Overall Fleet Condition
The total number of defects found during this audit was twenty-four (24), for an average of 3.43 defects per vehicle, compared to 18 total defects, for an average of
2.57 defects per vehicle, the previous audit. As illustrated in the chart which follows, this inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per vehicle when compared to FY 2017 and FY 2018, however, showed an increase in the average number of defects per vehicle when compared to FY 2016, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022 and the July 2022 and October 2022 quarterly audit results. 1021 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Seven (7) Dial-A-Ride Paratransit Vehicles January 2023 TRC Engineering Services 5
Defects were found in the Accessibility Features, Air System/Brake System, Driver’s Controls, Engine Compartment, Exterior Body Condition, Interior Condition, Lights, Safety Equipment, and Suspension/Steering categories. The Engine Compartment category showed the most defects with a total of five (5) compared to five engine compartment defects the previous audit. The Year-to-Year Summary of Defects by Category table is attached as Appendix C.
During the inspection cycle, TRC also evaluated the general condition of the MV Transportation shop. This evaluation showed that the shop was organized and work areas, both inside and outside the building, were free of unnecessary tools or equipment.
Specific Defect Summaries
All of the defects identified during the inspections were entered in a database which was used to generate a Master Defect Sheet. Data contained in that spreadsheet were then used to produce a series of detailed Excel reports.
The following Excel spreadsheets produced by TRC for the City of Glendale are included as a CD attachment to this report.
• Defect Summary: includes a summary of defect totals and a summary of the 18 defect categories
• All Defects (Master Defect Sheet): identifies all defects for all vehicles inspected
• Defects by Category: identifies specific defects under each of the 18 categories
• “A” Defects: identifies all Class “A” defects
• “B” Defects: identifies all Class “B” defects
• “C” Defects: identifies all Class “C” defects

• Vehicles Inspected: lists all vehicles inspected and those selected for a fluids analysis audit
As mentioned earlier, each defect was given a severity code:
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate removal from service and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Defect Analysis
Defects identified by TRC were analyzed to determine the severity or detrimental impact they pose in terms of safety, comfort and convenience, and structural integrity.
Safety
Ten (10) Class “A” safety-related defects, for an average of 1.43 Class “A” defects per vehicle, were identified during this inspection, compared seven Class “A” defects, for an average of 1.00 Class “A” defects per vehicle, the previous audit. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and keeps the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on six (6) of the seven vehicles inspected. TRC will review the PMI paperwork on the vehicles that had the Class “A” defects during the next scheduled audit to verify that the repairs of the defects were completed in a timely manner and the vehicles were returned to service.

PMI Schedule Adherence
TRC examined the records of the seven (7) vehicles to determine if the PMIs were being done at scheduled 3,000-mile intervals. PMI intervals are considered “on time” if performed on or before 3,000 miles (“late window” of 10% or 300 miles, bringing the total to 3,300 miles). TRC found that PMI work had been performed on time and within mileage requirements.
All PMI records were organized and easy to locate. TRC inspected the PMI paperwork to check on defects found during normal maintenance operations. A review was made to verify that defects found during normal PMI inspections were corrected by either repairs or replacement of components. Dan Denman reviewed the PMI paperwork. This review showed that the MV Transportation crew repaired or replaced items that were found defective during PMI efforts. The review also looked for indications of deferred maintenance by reviewing defects found during PMI inspections and the work performed to correct these issues. TRC did not find indications of work being deferred during this audit.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from two (2) vehicles selected at random (6 samples). Results can be found in Table 3 which follows.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
• TRC recommends that the wheelchair lifts and ramps on all units in the fleet be reviewed for proper operation. This audit found inoperable wheelchair lifts on D088 and D089, and an inoperative wheelchair door auto assist on D087. • TRC also recommends that all defects be reviewed with maintenance and driving staff, making them aware of items that may be missing on PMI work and also defects that should be shown on the Daily Vehicle Inspection (DVI) documentation performed by drivers. This audit found several instances of defects which should have been identified by driver pre-trip inspections and repaired before the units were placed into service. These defects included illuminated service lights on the dash, inoperative high beam headlights, Table 3

Conducted April 29, 2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TRC Engineering Services (TRC) conducted a maintenance audit for the City of Glendale to ensure that its contractor, MV Transportation, Inc., maintains buses owned by the City of Glendale in accordance with its contract provisions. This report presents the findings of the maintenance audit of the Glendale Beeline buses which was conducted on April 29, 2023. The audit consisted of a fleet inspection and maintenance record review of twelve (12) buses. Fluid analysis samples were also taken from three (3) buses selected at random.
The results of this audit showed:
• The total number of defects found during this audit was 33, for an average of
2.75 defects per bus, compared to 37 total defects, for an average of 2.85 defects per bus, in the previous audit. This inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to the October 2022 audit results, however, showed an increase in the average number of defects per bus when compared to annual audit averages for FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022, and the July 2022 quarterly audit results. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.
• Five (5) Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.42 Class “A” defects per bus, were found during this current audit compared to 6 Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.46 Class “A” defects per bus, the previous audit. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and keeps the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on three (3) of the 12 buses inspected. • The on-time adherence to preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) was within required guidelines. All inspected mileage accounts showed that PMI work had been done within 10% of the 3,000-mile interval threshold. TRC also reviewed the oil change intervals on these buses. The results showed that oil changes were also performed on time.
• Positive observations from this audit include the following:
o MV Transportation management and staff continue to be cooperative and prepared in providing a constant supply of buses for TRC to inspect, thus ensuring that the audit
inspections are efficiently carried out.
o PMI records continue to be well organized and easy to locate. 1031 of 1291

Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval.
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Class “A” safety-related defects were discussed and agreed upon between the City of Glendale and the TRC inspectors during the initial inspection and have remained the same for all subsequent audits. A list of the Class “A” defects regarded as being safety related for this audit is attached as Appendix B. During the inspection, TRC provided MV Transportation and the City of Glendale staff with copies of the defect lists for use in scheduling repairs. TRC inspectors also verified operation of certain controls to ensure that defects were legitimate ones and not the result of the inspectors being unfamiliar with specific bus equipment.
Records and Fluids Analysis Audit
The audit team selected three (3) buses at random for the fluids analysis audit and reviewed PMI records for all 12 buses. The fluids analysis audit included taking 1033 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Twelve (12) Buses April 2023 TRC Engineering Services 4
engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from each of the selected buses.
The records examination set out to determine if:
• Preventive maintenance (PM) had been performed correctly and at prescribed intervals.
• Repairs had been performed properly and made promptly.
PM Intervals
To determine if preventive maintenance inspections (PMIs) were performed correctly and on time, TRC examined the PMI records of the 12 buses. Mileage between the last three scheduled PMIs was calculated to determine if the inspections were performed on time (within 10% or 300 miles of the scheduled 3,000-mile interval) or if they were late.
Repairs
To determine if repairs were performed properly and made promptly, two audit procedures were used:
1) PMI sheets going back to the previous three PMIs were selected and examined for each of the 12 buses to determine if and when defects defined during the PMI process were repaired.
2) Defects from the previous three PMIs were then compared to determine if any defects were repeated from one PMI to the next.
From this comparison, TRC can determine if the defects were repaired or if they were simply noted on subsequent inspections.
Fluids Analysis Management
TRC uses a fluids analysis program to verify any problems which may have occurred before the initial inspection. TRC examined the engine and transmission oil change records for each of the twelve (12) buses going back at least two PMIs (26 records).
TRC also reviewed the mileage between oil changes to verify that the buses were being serviced at the appropriate 6,000-mile oil change intervals and that the records were properly filed for easy reference.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random and will review those results (9 samples) when received.
In reviewing the results, TRC looks for evidence of inappropriate levels of deterioration.
FINDINGS
Overall Fleet Condition
The total number of defects found during this audit was 33, for an average of 2.75 defects per bus, down when compared to 37 total defects, for an average of 2.85 defects per bus, the previous audit. As illustrated in the chart which follows, this inspection showed a decrease in the average number of defects per bus when compared to the October 2022 audit results, however, showed an increase in the average number of defects per bus when compared to the annual audit averages for FY 2016, FY 2017, FY 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021, and FY 2022, and the July 1034 of 1291

inspection, the results are reviewed against previous audits to find possible trends in defects. The Year-to-Year Bus Defect Averages table is attached as Appendix C.
Function Test of Fare Boxes Findings
TRC performed a function test on all fare boxes. This test was to verify that the fare boxes on all buses worked properly and printed transfers correctly. Upon review, TRC found that all buses with fare boxes printed receipts as required.
CNG Tanks Review Findings
During this inspection, TRC also reviewed the CNG tank inspection documentation which records the inspection cycles of the CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) fuel cylinders on each bus. The required CNG tank inspections were on time and within mileage requirements for all buses inspected.
Specific Defect Summaries
All defects identified during the inspections were entered in a database which was used to generate a Master Defect Sheet. Data contained in that spreadsheet were then used to produce a series of detailed Excel reports. All audits performed by TRC for the Glendale Beeline buses have been combined on the data sheet to show a comparison of defects for each audit.
The following Excel spreadsheets produced by TRC for the City of Glendale are included as a CD attachment to this report:
• Defect Summary: includes a summary of defect totals and a summary of the 18 defect categories
• All Defects (Master Defect Sheet): identifies all defects for all buses inspected
• Defects by Category: identifies specific defects under each of the 18 categories
• “A” Defects: identifies all Class “A” defects
• “A” Defects All Audits: identifies all Class “A” defects for all audits • “B” Defects: identifies all Class “B” defects
• “C” Defects: identifies all Class “C” defects
• Buses Inspected: lists all buses inspected and those selected for a fluids analysis audit
As mentioned earlier, each defect was given a severity code:
Class A – Indicates a safety-related defect that requires immediate removal from service and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected.
Class B – Indicates a non-safety critical defect that requires attention during the next scheduled preventive maintenance service interval. 1036 of 1291
Glendale Fleet Maintenance Audit Report – Twelve (12) Buses April 2023 TRC Engineering Services 7
Class C – Indicates a non-safety defect that requires attention at a later time.
Defect Analysis
Defects identified by TRC were analyzed to determine the severity or detrimental impact they pose in terms of safety, comfort and convenience, as well as structural integrity.
Safety
Five (5) Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.42 Class “A” defects per bus, were found during this current inspection compared to six Class “A” defects, for an average of 0.46 Class “A” defects, the previous inspection. A Class “A” defect is a safety-related defect that requires immediate repair and prevents the vehicle from returning to revenue service until the defect is corrected. Class “A” defects were found on three (3) of the 12 buses inspected. These five Class “A” defects had to be repaired before the three buses could be allowed to return to revenue service. The five Class “A” defects are listed in Table 3 which follows.

Comfort and Convenience
During this audit, TRC found the interiors and exteriors of buses to be kept clean and well maintained.
Structural Integrity
TRC did not observe any structural defects during this audit.
PMI Paperwork Review Findings
TRC also performs a PMI paperwork review during each inspection cycle. This audit found the PM work to be performed and documented properly for the buses inspected during this audit.
PMI Schedule Adherence
TRC examined the records of the twelve (12) buses to determine if the PMIs were being done at scheduled 3,000-mile intervals. PMI intervals were considered “on time” if performed on or before 3,300 miles (“late window” of 10% or 300 miles).
TRC found that all PMIs were conducted on time. The records examination also reviewed the oil change intervals. This review also showed on-time oil changes for all 12 buses.

The PMI records were well organized and easy to locate. TRC inspected the PMI paperwork to check on defects found during this audit and the results that followed.
A review was made to verify that problems were corrected by either repairs or replacement of components. Dan Denman reviewed the PMI paperwork. The review showed that PMI work was done on time and within mileage requirements for all units inspected. The review also showed that repairs were made to correct issues.
The review also looked for indications of deferred maintenance by reviewing defects found during PMI inspections and the work performed to correct these issues. TRC did not find indications of work being deferred during this audit.
TRC also drew engine oil, transmission fluid, and coolant samples from three (3) buses selected at random (9 samples). Results can be found in Table 4 which follows.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
• TRC recommends that MV Transportation review the safety features of the bus fleet and correct any issues. This audit found issues with the fire suppression system, backup alarm, windshield wiper and rear door sensitive edges that needed immediate attention to correct the issues.
• TRC also recommends that MV Transportation review all engine compartments of the bus fleet for fluid leaks. This audit found four (4) of the 12 units had fluid leaks in the engine compartments. These included oil pan areas, oil filter, alternator areas, air compressor areas. These should be identified so they can be repaired prior to and during normal PMI operations.

4 Agency Overview
Glendale Beeline operates nine fixed routes serving the cities of Glendale and La Cañada Flintridge and the unincorporated areas of La Crescenta and Montrose. The Beeline functions primarily as a community circulator system that complements the regional transit service provided to Glendale residents by Metro routes.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Glendale Beeline (Beeline) maintenance program is to ensure the cleanliness, comfort, cost-effective operation, durability, reliability, and safety of all equipment and facilities in our transit system. As such, Glendale Beeline is dedicated to properly maintaining our assets. Our maintenance program adheres to manufacturer minimum maintenance requirements for all such assets, and we comply with all applicable federal and state maintenance requirements.
The overall objective of the Facilities Maintenance Plan is to maintain, throughout its expected useful life, the interior and exterior of facilities, the grounds and parking areas, and all fixed and moveable equipment through preventive maintenance and repairs. Further, this objective is specifically intended to provide the following:
1. Facilities and their components which function safely and at top efficiency.
2. Facilities and equipment which greatly minimize the possibility of fires, accidents, and safety hazards.
3. Continuous use of facilities without disruptions to the transit operations.
4. Protection of Glendale property through proper planning, scheduling, and preventive maintenance.
5. Provide quality management of maintenance projects and tasks.
6. Conservation of energy, through utilization of the latest technology and energy conservation measures.
7. Ensure a quality maintenance program through effective management and efficient utilization of resources.
8. Provide the best indoor air quality possible by maintaining a physical environment that supports the needs of the operational services, staff, customers and other stakeholders who use operational facilities and grounds.
Facility Overview
The Facility is a co-located Beeline and Dial-A-Ride facility which houses Administration, Operations and Maintenance on one campus. The Facility provides secured vehicle parking for the transit fleet of 37 buses, 9 demand response vehicles, non-revenue vehicles, and staff, with room to grow.

Equipment Maintenance and Replacement
The Facilities Maintenance Department is responsible to provide ongoing quality maintenance of the facilities equipment by integrating scheduled preventative maintenance with proactive response to unscheduled or emergency repairs and modifications, and to make informed, fiscally responsible decisions regarding appropriate replacement of facilities equipment.
EQUIPMENT INVENTORY AND CLASSIFICATION
All facilities equipment has been identified and records are kept and maintained by the Transit Manager. • Schindler Elevator
The facility elevator and overhead crane is inspected and serviced monthly by an certified outside company (Kone). The service schedule is attached. • Bus Wash
The wash site consists of a drive-through wash bay where the vehicle is automatically washed and an equipment area that holds the support equipment for the wash cycles. The system uses a combination of fresh water, detergent solutions, reclaimed water, and reverse-osmosis processed water to clean and rinse the vehicle.
An equipment Area is located along the left-hand side of the Wash Bay. This area holds the equipment to control, protect, and support the functions that take place in the Wash Bay. • Tanks
The following storage tanks are located in the maintenance facility Maintenance Facility for economical purchasing and storing of liquid consumables in bulk: (2) 500 gallon (2) 240 gallon (2) 120 gallon. Protection of tanks from internal and external corrosion is accomplished by using corrosive-resistive, double-walled fiberglass reinforced plastic tanks. Each tank is individually monitored by an electronic leak detection system and has spill prevention controls. • CNG Station
The fueling/servicing station provides a structure where workers simultaneously clean the interior of the bus, check and add fluids, fill the fuel tank with compressed natural gas, check tires for underinflation, and walk around the bus inspecting for defects. The fueling area also has vacuums and connections to the money room for collecting fares. The City owns the fueling station but the CNG station is owned and maintained by Clean Energy. 1053 of 1291
9 • General Equipment
o Equipment is inspected on a regular basis, and defective equipment is tagged and taken out-of-service until repairs are made and equipment is in good working order. o Hoists are used daily. Repairs are performed as soon as possible and tagged out until repairs are completed.
o Eyewash stations are flushed and inspected weekly.
o Facilities Work Order requests are available to employees to be completed for any repairs that arise.
o Maintenance schedules for all other equipment is attached as Appendix D
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES AND FORMS
