Buy America Pre-Award Report - New England Wheels
1 INTRODUCTION
The Morongo Basin Transit Authority (MBTA) issued Request for Proposals (RFP) 20-01, seeking proposals for accessible transit/paratransit vehicles. The RFP was issued as a joint procurement, wherein MB TA serves as the lead agency and other participants are either subrecipients of California Department of Transportation (CalTrans) or are members of the California Association for Coordinated Transportation (CalACT). The participating agencies were listed in an appendix to the RFP. The procurement is designed to allow CalACT to provide contract administration support, with MBTA retaining control over contract modifications, amendments, and similar functions.
Because the resulting contracts and purchase orders issued thereunder are expected to be funded, in part by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the provisions of 49 USC 5323(j) – Buy America. The FTA Buy America program is set forth in 49 CFR Parts 661 and 663, with additional guidance provided by FTA through its publication, Conducting Pre-Award and Post - Delivery Audits for Rolling Stock Procurements (January 2017) and a series of decision letters. 49 USC 5323(j) requires, inter alia, that final assembly of the vehicles is accomplished in the United States and that the costs of components and subcomponents manufactured in the United States account for more than 70% of the cost of all components and subcomponents.
MBTA engaged RVB+A to conduct Buy America pre-award audits of potential suppliers. RVB+A’s role is limited to determining the anticipated US content and reviewing the proposed scope of final assembly.
2 PROCESS
MBTA designates potential suppliers and models designated for pre -award review, providing notice to the potential suppliers and RVB+A of the designation and selected models. Potential suppliers are advised of RVB+A’s role in the pre-award review process.
RVB+A provides nondisclosure agreements (NDA) to potential suppliers and, where requested, vehicle manufacturers where the potential supplier is a dealer.
Upon completion of the NDA(s), RVB+A provides instructions to potential suppliers outlining the necessary data and works with potential suppliers to establish secure means of transferring the data. Consistent with notice provided in the RFP, RVB+A’s work is conducted remotely. MBTA has arranged separately for review of the proposed final assembly facilities. 3 REVIEW OF THE SUBMITTED DATA
RVB+A reviews the preliminary Buy America certification provided by the potential supplier with their proposal. The certification submitted by New England Wheels is in proper form and certifies compliance with the Buy America requirements.
RVB+A reviews the anticipated final assembly scope, including the final assembly location, processes by station, and anticipated labor hours and costs. The proposed scope of final assembly submitted by New England Wheels was compared to that approved by FTA in a series of decision letters, including:

Auto Ability, LLC, dated June 25, 2014;
Braun Corporation, dated July 1, 2013;
El Dorado National – Kansas, dated July 1, 2013;
FR Conversions Inc., dated June 8, 2017;
Lone Star Handicap Vans, LLC, dated September 5, 2014; and Mobility Works Commercial, dated November 25, 2014.
New England Wheels submitted documentation of its final assembly processes, including:
The installation and interconnection of the Engine, Transmission, Axles including the Cooling and Braking Systems, Heating and Air Conditioning Equipment. The installation of Pneumatic and Electrical Systems, Door Systems, Passenger Seats, Passenger Grab Rails, Wheel Chair Lifts.
MBTA was onsite and confirmed installation of major components and final assembly 05/18/2021.
This proposed scope of final assembly, including New England Wheels’ anticipated labor hours and costs, is consistent with the statutory and regulatory requirements, as supplemented by the listed FTA decision letters.
New England Wheels proposes to conduct final assembly in its facilities in Billerica, MA consistent with the statutory and regulatory requirements.
RVB+A reviews the preliminary purchase orders or other estimates of anticipated component and subcomponent costs, as well as preliminary Buy America certifications provided by prospective component and subcomponent suppliers.
The preliminary purchase orders and Buy America certifications submitted by New England Wheels adequately supported New England Wheels’ anticipated component and subcomponent costs and the domestic or foreign character of those components and subcomponents. New England Wheels provided sufficient documentation supporting a proposed US content of 72%, as detailed in the component list at Appendix A.
Additionally, RVB+A has reviewed the anticipated costs and domestic character of the priced optional equipment offered by New England Wheels. We have determined that addition of one or more of the priced options would not result in any purchase from New England Wheels falling below the 70% threshold for US content.
Additionally, we have noted that New England Wheels calculated its domestic content quite conservatively. New England Wheels designated what are arguably subcomponents as components, effectively lowering the reported US content. Additionally, New England Wheels designated hours arguably devoted to component manufacturing as final assembly, further reducing its reported US content. This conservative approach provides an additional level of confidence in New England Wheels’ ability to exceed the required US content threshold. 4 SUMMARY
New England Wheels’ anticipated US content exceeds the required 70% and both the scope and costs of final assembly as proposed are reasonable.
