During the performance of this contract, the contractor agrees as follows:
(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.

(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about, discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments

(7) In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.

The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance:
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the interests of the United States.
The applicant further agrees that it will be bound by the above equal opportunity clause with respect to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work: Provided, That if the applicant so participating is a State or local government, the above equal opportunity clause is not applicable to any agency, instrumentality or subdivision of such government which does not participate in work on or under the contract.

If Contractor fails to remedy to Agency's satisfaction the breach or default of any of the terms,
29 Sept-24
covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [10 days] after receipt by Contractor of written notice from Agency setting forth the nature of said breach or default, Agency shall have the right to terminate the contract without any further obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude Agency from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default.
Waiver of Remedies for any Breach
In the event that Agency elects to waive its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this contract, such waiver by Agency shall not limit Agency’s remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other covenant, term, or condition of this contract.

The Agency shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the default. In this event, the Agency may take over the work and compete it by contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances, and plant on the work site necessary for completing the work.

This liability includes any increased costs incurred by the Agency in completing the work.
The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor shall the Contractor be charged with damages under this clause if:

acts of God, acts of Agency, acts of another contractor in the performance of a contract with Agency, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes; and
2. The Contractor, within [10] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies Agency in writing of the causes of delay. If, in the judgment of Agency, the delay is excusable, the time for completing the work shall be extended.

3. If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, or that the delay was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of Agency.
Termination for Convenience or Default (Architect and Engineering) The Agency may terminate this contract in whole or in part, for the Agency’s convenience or because of the failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations.

If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of Agency.
Termination for Convenience or Default (Cost-Type Contracts) The Agency may terminate this contract, or any portion of it, by serving a Notice of Termination on the Contractor. The notice shall state whether the termination is for convenience of Agency or for the default of the Contractor. If the termination is for default, the notice shall state the manner in which the Contractor has failed to perform the requirements of the contract. The Contractor shall account for any property in its possession paid for from funds received from the Agency, or property supplied to the Contractor by the Agency.

Subject: Quotation for Nine (9) 40-foot Heavy-Duty CNG Transit buses
Dear Mark,
New Flyer is pleased to submit an option price quotation for the production of Nine (9) 40-foot Heavy-Duty CNG Transit buses based on New Flyer’s agreement with Basin Transit (CalACT) Contract no. 23-01.
The proposed buses will be technically configured as per SR 2765 (XN40) for propulsion related components and SR 2979 (XHE40) for non-propulsion related components.
The XN40 price is $984,388 per bus which includes Warranty, Publications, Delivery, and Tariffs.
Tariffs
New Flyer’s proposed price currently includes known Tariff costs up to the point of this submission, as well as a 1.5% tariff contingency. Tariffs included are shown as their own line item on the price sheet for full transparency. Should Tariffs change between the submission date and line entry of the vehicle, then New Flyer will provide either a credit or cost surcharge (pass through with no markup) to Montebello based on the upward or downward movement of the Tariff. This adjustment will be fully supported by auditable back-up and a reference to the respective Executive Order/Law. This approach will be taken for both direct Tariffs, where New Flyer is the importer of record and for indirect Tariffs, where our suppliers are the importer of record.
New Flyer is committed to working collaboratively with Montebello to ensure a transparent and auditable process for assessing and addressing tariff-related costs. Please refer to the Tariff Section within our proposal for more information on tariff impacts associated with this order.
Basin Transit Contract 23-01, Amendment 1, Section 3, describes the approved price calculation method, incorporation of additional tariff costs and support of FTA grantee cost analysis.
Payment Terms and Milestones
This contract will include separate invoicing for tariffs and the proposed bus (as defined in the CalACT agreement). Each will be invoiced separately to ensure clarity and transparency, resulting in separate payment terms.
Tariff payment terms are Net 30 days from the time of the Tariff Price Change, including auditable backup, and Invoice are presented to Montebello.
Basin Transit/CalACT contract payment terms are 75% at approval for shipment and 25% at acceptance, with acceptance within fifteen (15) days of delivery.
We would like to highlight key elements of our proposal:
Warranty: New Flyer exceeds the industry standard warranties in many areas such as our 5 year / 300,000 miles axle warranty (standard warranty is 2 years) and our 3 years / 150,000 miles multiplex warranty (standard competitor warranty is 1 year / 50,000 miles). Please refer to our Warranty Section within our proposal for more information. Please note that warranty is included in the bus price.
Training: New Flyer Training is an organization within the New Flyer Customer Services group, a division of New Flyer Industries. As a part of the leading manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses in the United States and Canada, we have access to top design, engineering, propulsion technology, and electrical systems professionals. This allows us to offer the service and expertise to maximize the lifetime value of your fleet.
Please refer to our Training Section within our proposal for more information. Please note that optional training is not included in the bus price.
Publications: The New Flyer Publications team combines extensive, hands-on technical experience with exceptional writing, illustrating, and publishing skills to create the industry’s benchmark in maintenance manuals. They supply accurate information in a timely manner, assisting the customer in the performance of proper bus maintenance, which adds to the overall reliability and lifetime value of each New Flyer bus on the road. Please refer to our Publications Section within our proposal for more information. Please note that publications are included in the bus price.
Tooling and Diagnostics : Please refer to our Tools and Diagnostics Section within our proposal for more information. Please note that tooling and diagnostics are not included in the bus price.
Delivery Proposal: New Flyer is proposing a complete delivery by Q1 of 2028 based on a receipt of a Notice to Proceed within 60 days of this submission. Please note that delivery is included in the bus price.
This project allows New Flyer the important opportunity to continue our strong relationship with Montebello Bus Lines. It also gives us the opportunity again to deliver some of the most advanced vehicles available in North America. We thank you for your continued interest in New Flyer products and look forward to working with you again in the near future.

New Flyer Response:
New Flyer’s proposed price includes known Tariff costs up to the point of this submission , as well as a
1.5% contingency. Tariffs included are shown as their own line item in the attached T ab 3a, Price Detail Sheet for full transparency.
P
er the terms of Basin Transit/CalACT Contract #23-01, the following provisions apply:
• Section GC 9.5, Changes of Law
o Changes of Law that become effective after the Proposal Due Date may result in price changes. If a price adjustment is indicated, either upward or downward, it shall be negotiated between the Agency and the Contractor and the final Contract price shall be adjusted upwards or downwards to reflect such changes in Law. Such price adjustment may be audited, where required. For certainty, in the event that a price adjustment is required in respect of changes that are mandatory as a result of legislation or regulations that become effective after the date of the tender submission, such price adjustment shall be negotiated in good faith by the Agency and the successful bidder.
Should Tariffs change between the submission date and line entry of the vehicle, then New Flyer will provide either a credit or cost surcharge (pass through with no markup) to Montebello based on the upward or downward movement of the Tariff. This adjustment will be fully supported by auditable back -up and a reference to the respective Executive Order/Law. This approach will be taken for both direct Tariffs, where New Flyer is the importer of record and for indirect Tariffs, where our suppliers are the importer of record.
The amount will be calculated through New Flyer’s SRCR (Sales Release Change Request) process and passed through at cost. It will be clearly identified as a Tariff Surcharge on the Price Change sheet.
The payment terms for Tariffs are Net 30 days from the time of the Price Change, including auditable backup, and invoice are presented to Montebello.
The federal government requires that the importer on record pay for Tariffs 2 weeks from the date they are incurred and provide a bond for tariff payments. New Flyer has provided a bond to the Federal Government for Tariff Payments; therefore, the Tariff payment at line entry is not considered an Advanced Payment, and no additional security is required.
New Flyer is taking an active advocacy role to educate stakeholders on the impact of tariffs on our industry and the economic impact to Transit Agencies. Unforeseen economic factors and changes in laws and regulations create disruption and added costs. We encourage Montebello to reach out to your government offices to share the impact of Tariffs on your organization and participate in advocacy outreach where and how you deem appropriate.

FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager
BY: John Soria, Director of Transportation
SUBJECT: APPROVE AGREEMENT NO. 4419 WITH NEW FLYER OF AMERICA, INC. TO PURCHASE THREE, FORTY-FOOT, HEAVY DUTY
HYDROGEN FUEL CELL ELECTRIC TRANSIT BUSES
DATE: May 27, 2026
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve Agreement No. 4419 with New Flyer of America, Inc. (New Flyer), to purchase three (3), forty-foot (40’), Heavy Duty Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs); and
2. Authorize the City Manager and/or his designee to approve change orders for up to two percent (2%) of the total agreement amount; and
3. Amend the Fiscal Year 2025-26 adopted operating budget to increase appropriations by $801,888, in Account No. 600-90-915-6082 (Transit, Corporate Shop, Vehicle Purchases) ; and
4. Take such additional, related action as may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The three (3) Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs) will be purchased utilizing Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Pre-Award Authority in anticipation of Grant Application 1657-2025-1, alongside Senate Bill 1 (SB1)/State Transit Assistance (STA) funds awarded in Fiscal Year 2024-25. While the designated grants provide a total allocation of $5,360,510, the estimated purchase cost, including a two percent (2%) contingency is $6,162,398.
To address the remaining $801,888, the Transportation Department’s FY 2025-26
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 27, 2026
adopted operating budget will be amended to increase appropriations by the corresponding amount in Account No. 600-90-915-6082 (Transit, Corporate Shop, Vehicle Purchases). By exercising Pre-Award Authority, the Transportation Department acknowledges that all Federal requirements must be met to ensure eligibility for future reimbursement.
FUNDING SOURCES ACCOUNT NUMBER BALANCE
Pre-Award Authority FTA Grant TBD $ 3,597,375
SB1/STA FY 2024-25 202-922-2025 $ 1,763,135
Transit Operating Budget 600-90-915-6082 $ 801,888

Tax $ 559,102
Subtotal $ 6,041,567
Contingency (2% of the base amount) $ 102,831
TOTAL EXPENSES $ 6,162,398
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City of Montebello operates Montebello Bus Lines (MBL) with a fleet of sixty-six (66) heavy duty transit buses, including three (3) battery electric buses, three (3) FCEBs, twenty-six (26) hybrid, and thirty-four (34) Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses. This fleet serves over 2.6 million riders annually across thirteen local communities. To ensure the delivery of quality and reliable transportation services to the City and neighboring communities. MBL consistently evaluates and assesses the condition of its fleet. In accordance with the City’s Administrative Policy, No. VI-C-3: Capital Asset Policy, staff recommend the replacement of three (3) New Flyer Hybrid transit buses (manufacturer year 2009).
These buses have exceeded the useful life benchmark (ULB) defined by FTA Circular 5010.1E, Chapter IV, which establishes a minimum service life for heavy-duty transit buses (35-40 feet) of twelve (12) years or 500,000 miles. Having exceeded the federal ULB, replacing these buses is essential to maintain State of Good Repair (SGR) standards, reduce escalating maintenance costs associated with an aging fleet, and ensuring the continued safety and reliability of service for MBL’s passengers and operators.
The three (3) new FCEBs will be purchased through the procurement process outlined in Montebello Municipal Code (“MMC”) Section 3.20.125 – “Piggybacking Purchasing Agreement" and as authorized under California Government Code section 54202. In
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MAY 27, 2026
accordance with MMC 3.20.125(A), the City will enter into a purchase agreement with New Flyer (Attachment A) using the base pricing and terms established in the Basin Transit / CALACT Contract #23-01 (Cooperative Contract No. 23-01), which expires on July 31, 2026 (Attachment B).
New Flyer has fully complied with all the stipulated requirements, and technical specifications, of the cooperative agreement. MBL staff has conducted a thorough review of all federal clauses (Attachment C) and procurement documents to ensure FTA compliance. In addition, MBL predominantly operates a fleet of New Flyer CNG, FCEBs and battery electric transit buses. Therefore, procuring additional buses from the same manufacturer aligns with the City's ongoing efforts to standardize its fleet. If approved, the delivery of all three (3) buses to MBL is anticipated on or before the end of the first quarter of 2028 (March).
