The requirements of 40 U.S.C. § 3704 are applicable to construction work and provide that no laborer or mechanic must be required to work in surroundings or under working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous or dangerous. These requirements do not apply to the purchases of supplies or materials or articles ordinarily available on the open market, or contracts for transportation or transmission of intelligence. This provision is hereby incorporated by reference into this Contract.

Vendor certifies that during the term of an award for all contracts by Sourcewell resulting from this procurement process, Vendor must comply with applicable requirements as referenced above.

E. CLEAN AIR ACT (42 U.S.C. § 7401-7671Q.) AND THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT (33 U.S.C. § 1251-1387). Contracts and subgrants of amounts in excess of $150,000 require the non-federal award to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401- 7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C. § 1251- 1387).

71 If you are awarded a contract, provide a few examples of internal metrics that will be tracked to measure whether you are having success with the contract.

72 Describe the safety features and innovations incorporated in the manufacturing of your buses that impact student safety.

First, we pride ourselves on having the safest bus on the road today. We build our buses to the highest standard of safety, exceeding the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.

In our mind, safety is not an option; it is the most important and fundamental attribute of a school bus. Every Blue Bird bus is certified to meet the rigorous testing requirements of Colorado Rack and Kentucky Pole certification. These tests are designed to recreate impact scenarios that are only faced in the worst accident situations, such as rollovers and massive impacts, and ensure the maximum protection for the onboard passengers. Children's safety is our business, that's why we build additional strengthening into every Blue Bird bus - standard practice for us, but optional equipment for our competitors.

Second, we don't build a chassis for use in both truck and school bus applications, as we believe that could be a
compromised solution. Others do that, but we don't. We
provide a purpose-built school bus from the ground up, with safety and reliability top of mind. As such, our bus is full of unique features - from the steep rake of our hood that
ensures best-in-class forward vision for the driver, to the extensive use of special fasteners that never need torquing throughout the life of the bus. That's safety built-in! Third, we care about the environment and the future of our planet and will continue to invest in innovation that provides a cleaner world for our children. Our leadership in alternative fuels is a testament to this - with our top 10 dealers alone, the propane buses they sold in 2019 reduced NOx
emissions by over 1.2 million pounds! What's more, our
exclusive propane buses are certified to NOx levels at one tenth of the EPA's and our competitors' standard. With over 40% growth in our propane bus sales last year, our
message is being heard - with Blue Bird propane, you can have the safest, cleanest and lowest-cost-of-ownership of any bus in the market. But that's not all. In 2019, we launched the most extensive range of zero-emission, electric-powered school buses in North America covering all body styles, and have secured over 200 orders to date. We believe in
providing innovative products that are both affordable and safe.

*
73 Identify any bus types, models, configurations, or
engine/power alternatives that are not yet available in your bus offerings but that are scheduled to be released during the anticipated term of the Sourcewell contract.

Blue Bird offers the widest range of bus types and fuel types of any school bus manufacturer. We are the only
manufacturer to offer electric power in Type A, Type C, and Type D. At this time, we are not announcing any new
planned product offerings for the near future but are
continuously researching new products and features that meets the emerging demands of our school bus customers.

*
74 Describe any options, accessories, supplies, parts, and services that you are proposing that are not described in any other section of your response. Upload relevant pricing materials (as applicable) in the document upload section of your response.
