EXTERNAL
Dear Councilmember,
I am writing because I strongly support keeping the Santa Monica Airport open while exploring ways to expand park space and community benefits.

The Santa Monica Airport is a historic and valuable resource, and decisions about its future have implications beyond city boundaries. We do not want an irreversible decision that can impact jobs, businesses, and regional connectivity. A park-only option creates enormous costs for the City at a time when Santa Monica is already facing serious budget challenges, and would likely take many years and hundreds of millions of dollars before residents see any benefit.

Most importantly, a strong majority of Santa Monica voters support keeping the airport while still having park space and businesses. We are beginning to see that sentiment translate into action, with 834 letters submitted and 200 individuals showing up to speak in support at the most recent City Council meeting. Those speakers made clear that Santa Monica can pursue both open space and aviation, while also positioning itself as a hub for clean air mobility and emerging aviation technologies, creating benefits that extend across the city and the broader region.

I hope the City will take the time to pursue balanced solutions that preserve this important community resource while adding new public space and amenities.

Please listen to residents and avoid rushing toward closing the airport.

Thank you for your service to our community.

Sincerely,
Ben Espinoza

Subject: No Homeless in Neighborhoods; Keep Samoshell Open; Homeless belong away from neighborhoods

EXTERNAL
Please do not place more homeless in neighborhoods. Every building that houses homeless in this City is surrounded by Trash/Open Air Drug Use/Noise/Loitering/Yelling/Uncivil Behavior/Poop/Pee/Violence and overall anarchy and chaos.

Citizens who have worked so hard to live here, pay taxes, have jobs, go to school and just want to enjoy regular life do not deserve to have these buildings placed in their neighborhoods. It is fundamentally unfair and wrong. The homeless are not from Santa Monica. The County and other states ship them here because we supposedly have money to deal with it. We don't and we don't deserve to cure a 10,000,000 population in our very small town.

Do not put homeless housing in neighborhoods. Keep Samoshell where it belongs - on the side of a freeway in an industrial area. Industrial, non-populated areas are the only place where homeless should be held.

Our poor children cannot even go to parks because of the drug use and just horrific conditions. The bathrooms are repulsive. There are people using drugs and sleeping all over; they are naked; they threaten people; they yell. This is not normal; this should not be allowed; drug users should be arrested and the county should be banned from ruining our City.

You're creating a City where kids have to stay inside instead of being allowed to use the parks and beaches because parents are afraid of these maniacs who have taken over every public space in Santa Monica - the parks, beach, libraries, sidewalks, chairs, etc. They have more freedom than we do and have absolutely destroyed this City.

Please come to your senses and make Santa Monica normal again.

Thank you,
Wally

how come not one of you people ever responded? You work for the residents of this city...and that;s me. It seeems to me that no public employee gives a shit about residents.

I'm assuming you'll never respond...so fuck you and fuck you and fuck you somemore.

Hi. Recently someone was hit by a car on Ocean Avenue at Idaho. There have been numerous near misses at the intersection of Ocean and Washington -- so many that someone placed these red flags (pictures below) and the city posted an eye-level sign glued to the pavement about the cross walk was replaced.

Perhaps it's time to add one of those cross walks with the blinking lights in the ground? If you can put up $650,000 for a Rose Parade float, me thinks there has to be money available for this basic need...surely public safety outweighs a rose parade float? I live on the third floor of the condo at Ocean/Washington. This is, as is Idaho, a very dangerous corner. About a decade ago two women were mowed down by a car while in the crosswalk. Cars are always speeding down this section of Ocean. It's time the city did more than just put a sign glued to the pavement in the middle of the road. You are aware of the danger otherwise this sign and the ones that were placed a few years ago after re-striping would not have been placed. So...now it is time to really do something to protect the public.

I would appreciate someone getting back to me with your response and intention and a timeline.. Thank you.

EXTERNAL
Dear Councilmember,
I am a Santa Monica resident and I am writing because I strongly support keeping the Santa Monica Airport open while exploring ways to expand park space and community benefits.

Even though I do not live right next to the airport, it matters to me as part of what makes Santa Monica the city it is.

We do not want an irreversible decision that can impact jobs, businesses, and city revenues that fund the services all of us rely on. A park-only option creates enormous costs for the City at a time when Santa Monica is already facing serious budget challenges, and would likely take many years and hundreds of millions of dollars before any resident sees a benefit.

Most importantly, a strong majority of Santa Monica voters support keeping the airport while still having park space and businesses. That support is becoming more visible. At the most recent City Council meeting, 834 letters were submitted and 200 residents came forward to speak, reinforcing that many in the community believe we can have both meaningful open space and continued aviation use. Speakers highlighted the opportunity for Santa Monica to serve as a leader in clean air mobility, supporting innovation that benefits the entire city.

I hope the City will take the time to pursue solutions that preserve this important community resource while adding new public space and amenities for all Santa Monica residents.

Please listen to residents and avoid rushing toward closing the airport.

Thank you for your service to our community.

Sincerely,
Dennis Moloney

Dear Councilmember,
I am a Santa Monica resident who lives near the airport, and I am writing because I strongly support keeping the Santa Monica Airport open while exploring ways to expand park space and community benefits.

As someone whose daily life is directly shaped by the airport and the surrounding area, I value the activity, jobs, and services it brings to our neighborhood. We do not want an irreversible decision that can impact the local businesses and livelihoods right outside our doors. A park-only option creates enormous costs for the City at a time when Santa Monica is already facing serious budget challenges, and would likely take many years and hundreds of millions of dollars before residents like me, the ones closest to the site, see any benefit.

Most importantly, a strong majority of Santa Monica voters support keeping the airport while still having park space and businesses. We are also seeing that support turn into action. At the most recent City Council meeting, 834 letters were submitted and 200 individuals showed up to speak in support of the airport, including residents who emphasized that Santa Monica does not have to choose between park space and aviation. There is a clear path to do both, while positioning the city as a hub for the clean air mobility movement already underway, bringing innovation, investment, and long-term benefits to the entire community.

I hope the City will take the time to pursue balanced solutions that preserve this important community resource while adding new public space and amenities for those of us who live nearby.

Please listen to residents and avoid rushing toward closing the airport.

Thank you for your service to our community.

Sincerely,
Alex Rosson

Attachments: Sample Argument page.pdf; Ballot example.pdf

EXTERNAL
Hello,
I’m asking that the Election Code be applied appropriately and that the 3 individuals signing the argument against the parcel tax measure have their titles included in the Voter Information Pamphlet.

Last Thursday, the City Clerk wrote that based on discussions with the City Attorney’s office, Election Code 9170 would be applied to both the ballot label and the Voter Information Pamphlet so our individuals would not have titles in the Pamphlet.

Attached is the ballot label for the County Measure ER and a page of the Voter Information Pamphlet with the Argument Against ER and the Rebuttal so you can have a better idea of what I am talking about.
9170 went into effect when the state added the list of supporters and opposers on the ballot that has the description of the measure and where you select yes or no. We agree no titles for our individuals can be used there.
9170 does not apply to the Voter Information Pamphlet, which has the arguments for and against the measures. For the recent School Bond measure, two of our individuals had the same titles we submitted, printed in the pamphlet. Our titles should be included in the pamphlet.

It’s frustrating because the Clerk has allowed the proponents to significantly modify their argument submission after the July 28th deadline. They had two people who did not comply with the requirement for a principal officer to sign the attestation, and one organization that is a PAC, that are not allowed to support a measure. We believe their changes still do not comply with the Election Code requirements.

The ballot measure wording is misleading because it says it benefits the Santa Monica public schools when the funds will be used for the Malibu schools too, without Malibu residents paying this tax. This should be amended or the ballot measure pulled.

Thank you.

1 of 5
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Anuj Gupta, Director of Transportation, Department of Transportation, Transit Maintenance
Subject: Authorization to enter into a Third Modification to Agreement #11364 with Gillig to Purchase Battery Electric Buses for the Department of Transportation Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Adopt a finding of Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines;

3. Authorize budget amendment as outlined in the Financial Impacts and Budget Actions section of this report (requires 5 votes.)
Summary
Big Blue Bus (BBB), a division of the Santa Monica Department of Transportation (DOT), operates 195 transit buses covering more than 69 square miles of western Los Angeles County, providing 10 million rides annually. BBB is committed to reducing harmful emissions and pursuing the most environmentally sustainable vehicles to provide transit service to customers and meet DOT’s operational needs. In support of that goal, DOT is converting its fleet of compressed natural gas (CNG) powered buses to zero emission battery electric buses (BEBs). Pursuant to its Fleet Management Plan and Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) guidelines, DOT replaces its buses

after 12 years in service, or 500,000 miles. BBB buses are typically replaced on a onefor-one basis, and 40 CNG buses purchased between 2011 and 2014 are currently due for replacement. DOT has 30 BEBs on order to replace the buses purchased in 2011, but production of those buses has been moved to 2027 to allow for the completion of the next phase of DOT’s electric bus charging infrastructure.

To advance efforts to fully transition the Big Blue Bus fleet to zero emission buses by 2032, staff recommends that the City execute a modification to agreement #11364 with Gillig LLC in an amount not to exceed $24,036,756 for the purchase of up to 40 battery electric buses, including spare parts, training, and warranty. This will result in a new total amount not to exceed $70,837,632. The contract modification is based on the Procurement Manager approved ECB #499 which utilizes a competitively bid agreement awarded to Gillig LLC by the State of Washington.

Discussion
To support the City of Santa Monica’s sustainability goals, DOT presented a Fleet Composition Study to the City Council in April 2018. Based on the study’s findings, Council reaffirmed its commitment to a full transition to zero emissions by 2030. In support of the City’s sustainability targets, DOT has been operating BEBs in its fleet since August 2019 and currently has 34 BEBs in service with 18 of these buses received in 2021 and 15 received in 2025. The BEBs in the BBB fleet have performed well, and staff have received positive feedback from Motor Coach Operators who have driven the buses and customers who have ridden on them.

In preparation for the gradual conversion of its entire fleet to BEBs, DOT has completed a fleet electrification master planning effort and begun construction on charging infrastructure that will provide charging capacity for up to 130 BEBs. The first phase of this construction is scheduled to be completed in mid-2027 and will provide charging for an additional 40 BEBs, and the second phase is scheduled to be completed in late 2028 and will provide charging for an additional 90 BEBs. DOT has partnered with Southern California Edison (SCE) to ensure that energy will be available for the charging of its electric bus fleet through SCE’s Charge Ready Transport program, which provides a rebate for electric bus charging infrastructure.

Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a third modification to agreement #11364 with Gillig LLC, pursuant to the same base price as set forth in the terms and conditions in the State of Washington’s Transit Bus Invitation for Bid (IFB) dated March 4, 2020, and subsequently executed contract 06719-01 dated April 1, 2021. This procurement authorizes local government agencies outside the State of Washington to purchase electric buses in accordance with the prices listed in Attachment D of the IFB. Procurement of electric buses using the State of Washington bid would enable the department to meet its goal of timely replacement of vehicles that have reached their 12-year useful life in accordance with BBB’s fleet replacement plan.

Environmental Review
The contract modification award for the purchase of electric replacement buses is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15302 of CEQA. Section 15302 exempts Class 2 projects which “consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced.” The electric buses would replace existing CNG buses, with essentially the same purpose and capacity of existing CNG buses. Therefore, the contract modification for replacement buses is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15302.

TO: Public
FROM: City Attorney’s Office
RE: Levine Act Disclosure Form
The Levine Act (Government Code 84308) is a California law aimed at preventing “pay to play” practices by prohibiting parties, participants, and their agents in a proceeding involving a license, permit, or other entitlement from contributing more than $500 to an officer of the City during a 12-month period. The prohibition applies to any 12-month period while the proceeding is pending and for 12 months following the date a final decision is rendered in the proceeding.

State law requires a party to a proceeding to disclose any contributions exceeding an aggregate $500 that the party and their agents have made to an officer of the City within the preceding 12 months. The Disclosure Form is intended to assist City officials with recognizing when they have an obligation to disclose and recuse themselves, and to aid parties with their disclosure obligations.

1. To what sort of proceedings is the disclosure form applicable? The Levine Act applies to all discretionary entitlements and contracts, with the exception of labor contracts, personal employment contracts, and contracts that must be awarded to the lowest responsive/responsible bidder. It does not apply to ministerial approvals.

For instance, the Levine Act applies to the following:
• Building and development permits
• Conditional use permits
• Contracts generally (unless an exception applies):

2. Who is required to disclose?
A “party” to a proceeding is any person who files an application for, or is the subject of, a proceeding. In general, a person or company who applies for a permit, license, or right to use property in a particular way, which requires the City’s discretionary approval, will qualify as a party.

Parties are also required to disclose contributions by their agents. An “agent” is someone who (1) represents a party to a proceeding for compensation; and (2) appears before or otherwise communicates with the City for the purpose of influencing the pending proceeding. This can include law firms, architects, engineers, consultants, and similar entities. Both the individual and their employer or firm are considered “agents.” A party should also disclose contributions of other entities majority owned by the party, as well as contributions of any other entity whose contributions it directs or controls.

3. What must be disclosed?
A party must disclose campaign contributions over $500 made in the prior twelve months.

A “contribution” is anything of value for which the party has not received full consideration, including money, nonmonetary items, payments made for advertising or Docusign Envelope ID: E30F13A8-59A6-8F31-8243-969C56A2FDFF

other expenses coordinated with a candidate or committee, loans, tickets to political fundraisers, etc.

4. Who is considered an officer of the City?
An “officer” is anyone who may make, participate in making, or attempt to influence a decision in the proceeding or who exercises authority over officers who may do so. This includes elected officials, members of appointed boards and commissions, the City Manager, and any individual who is a candidate for elected office or who has been a candidate in the twelve months prior to the decision. This definition is included on the Disclosure Form.

5. When should the disclosure occur?
The Disclosure Form must be completed (1) by a party to a contract with the City (or that party’s agent) at the time the party submits a response to a Request for Proposal or other competitive solicitation, enters into contract negotiations with the City, or executes a contract with the City, whichever is earliest; or (2) by a party to a license, permit, or other entitlement proceeding before the City at the time the party (or their agent) submits the license, permit, or entitlement application to the City. The party (or their agent) must submit a supplemental form if they make any new reportable contributions while the same contract, license, permit, or other entitlement is being considered. The party (or their agent) must also use the form if they need to correct any previously submitted form.

Parties are solely responsible for completing the form accurately, and could face penalties for failure to do so. The California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) is the body who enforces violations of the Levine Act. If a party is uncertain about whether they are required to report or combine a contribution, they should consult with their attorney.

Nothing herein constitutes legal advice and individuals are urged to consult with their own attorney regarding the requirements of the law. To the extent there is any inconsistency, the language of the Levine Act and FPPC Regulations govern over this notice. Resources for officers, parties, participants, and agents, are available on the FPPC’s website at https://www.fppc.ca.gov/learn/pay-to-play-limits-and-prohibitions.html Docusign Envelope ID: E30F13A8-59A6-8F31-8243-969C56A2FDFF

5.1.2. Delivery Schedule Adjustment. The City shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to adjust and delay the delivery of the 15 Buses. The City will provide at least thirty (30) calendar days notice to Gillig of the adjusted delivery date and an amended delivery schedule.

5.2. Delivery. Contractor shall deliver all Buses to Santa Monica, California, in first class condition, complete and ready for service for the Big Blue Bus. Contractor shall assume all costs and responsibility for delivery. Deliveries shall be made only during the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and shall be subject to the following: (1) delivery shall be complete when a designated City employee signs an acknowledgement of receipt for each Bus, which receipt shall not constitute City acceptance of the Bus; (2) delivery shall be made to the Big Blue Bus Maintenance Repair Facility, located at 1620 6th Street, Santa Monica, California 90401; and (3) each Bus shall undergo City testing in accordance with Federal requirements prior to acceptance of each Bus.

5.2.1. Acceptance. Acceptance shall be contingent upon performance validation, which will include the ability of the Bus to operate for ten (10) consecutive days with no breakdown due to defects. Any Bus that passes City testing in accordance with Federal requirements shall be accepted by the City within fifteen (15) days after the end of the acceptance period. The City shall not place any Bus into revenue service unless such Bus has been accepted by the City. Any Bus that does not pass the City’s testing shall be repaired pursuant to section 5.3; such Bus shall be retested and accepted only after it passes all Federal requirements.

5.2.2. Risk of Loss. Risk of loss for each Bus shall pass from Contractor to the City upon delivery of such Bus to the City’s facility with acknowledgement of receipt.

Section 5.3. The Contractor agrees that all work shall be performed regularly and diligently to ensure full completion within the time specified.

5.5. Liquidated Damages. If the Contractor fails to deliver Buses to the City in accordance with the time specified in Section 5.1, above, then the City will incur damages, the amount of which will be difficult or impossible to establish with certainty, including, but not limited to, delay, inefficiency, and disruption of City’s operations. The parties agree that as part of the consideration for awarding this Agreement, for each business day past the time specified in Section 5.1 above, the Contractor shall pay to the City as liquidated damages the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per business day for each Bus not delivered. This sum represents a reasonable effort to estimate fair compensation for the foreseeable losses the City will incur on account of delays in the delivery and acceptance of the Buses, and is not a penalty. However, Contractor shall not be assessed liquidated damages where the City acknowledges that the delays are beyond the fault and control of Contractor due to force majeure as set forth in Section 24.6 of this Agreement or for delay in the delivery of the Trapeze system to the Contractor. It is further agreed that Contractor’s payment of liquidated damages and the City’s acceptance of liquidated damages for any specific period of delay shall in no way affect the City’s right to terminate the agreement in accordance with Section 16 for any such delay. The City and Contractor hereby expressly indicate their agreement to this liquidated damages provision.

During the warranty period, each Bus shall maintain its structural and functional integrity. The warranty shall be based upon the regular operation of the Bus under the operating conditions prevailing in the Santa Monica locale. The City’s inspection, approval, acceptance, use of, and payment for any Bus or part thereof shall in no way effect its warranty rights whether or not a breach of warranty had become evident in time of such inspection, approval, acceptance, use of, or payment for any Bus or part thereof. The City shall have a minimum of 90 days to submit warranty claim starting from the date of component failure.

Labor reimbursement rate for warranty repairs shall be $102.90 per hour.

8.2. Compliance with City Requests. Contractor’s compliance with any request by the City pursuant to Section 8 shall be a condition precedent to filing or maintenance of any legal action or proceeding by Contractor against the City and to Contractor’s right to receive further payments under the Contract Documents. Any failure by Contractor to provide access to its business records for inspection or copying by the City shall be specifically enforceable by issuance of a writ or a provisional or permanent mandatory injunction by a court of competent jurisdiction based on affidavits submitted to such court, without the necessity of oral testimony.

If the City finds that Contractor has violated this Section, the violation shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement upon which the City may determine to cancel, terminate, or suspend this Agreement. While the City reserves the right to determine independently that the nondiscrimination provisions of this Agreement have been violated, a determination by the California Fair Employment and Housing Commission or the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that Contractor has violated State and Federal nondiscrimination laws shall constitute a finding by the City that Contractor has violated this Section.

15.2. Opportunity to Cure. For any breach deemed by the nondefaulting party to constitute a material breach, the defaulting party is required to cure the breach within ten (10) business days upon receipt of written notice. For any breach deemed by the nondefaulting party to constitute a nonmaterial breach, the defaulting party is obligated to cure such breach within ten (10) working days upon receipt of written notice; however, if the nature of the nonmaterial breach requires more than ten (10) working days to cure, the nondefaulting party may grant additional time of no more than thirty (30) days provided that the defaulting party diligently pursues and completes a cure within said time period.

15.3. City’s Remedies Upon Default. In the event that Contractor fails to cure any default of this Contract within the time period set forth above, then the City may pursue any remedies available under law or equity, including, without limitation, the following:

Designation in the Contract Documents of certain breaches as material shall not be construed as implying that other breaches not so designated are not material nor shall such designations be construed as limiting the City’s right to terminate the Agreement, or the exercise of its other rights or remedies for default, to only material breaches. The City may determine whether there has been noncompliance with the Agreement so as to warrant exercise by City of its rights and remedies for default under the Agreement. No termination or action taken by the City after such termination shall prejudice any other rights or remedies of the City provided by law or equity or by the Contract Documents upon such termination; and City may proceed against Contractor to recover all liquidated damages and losses suffered by City.

22 ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONIC AND DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

22.1 Overview
The electrical system will consist of vehicle battery systems and components that generate, distribute and store power throughout the vehicle. (e.g., generator, voltage regulator, wiring, relays, and connectors).

Electronic devices are individual systems and components that process and store data, integrate electronic information or perform other specific functions.

The data communication system consists of the bi-directional communications networks that electronic devices use to share data with other electronic devices and systems.

Communication networks are essential to integrating electronic functions, both onboard the vehicle and off.

Information level systems that require vehicle information for their operations or provide information shall adhere to J1939 data standard.

Data communications systems are divided into three levels to reflect the use of multiple data networks:
• Drivetrain level: Components related to the drivetrain including the propulsion system components (engine, transmission and hybrid units or electric energy storage, motors, inverters/converters), and anti-lock braking system (ABS), which may include traction control.
• Information level: Components whose primary function is the collection, control or display of data that is not necessary to the safe drivability of the vehicle (i.e., the vehicle will continue to operate when those functions are inoperable). These components typically consist of those required for automatic vehicle location (AVL) systems, destination signs, fare boxes, passenger counters, radio systems, automated voice and signage systems, video surveillance and similar components. • Multiplex level: Electrical or electronic devices controlled through input/output signals such as discrete, analog and serial data information (i.e., on/off switch inputs, relay or relay control outputs). Multiplexing is used to control components not typically found on the drivetrain or information levels, such as lights; wheelchair lifts; doors; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; and gateway devices.

23 GENERAL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS BATTERIES

23.1 Low-Voltage Batteries (24V)

23.2 Two 8D Battery Units
Two 8D battery units with side post or top post connectors, conforming to SAE Standard J537, shall be provided. Each battery shall have a minimum of 1300 cold cranking amps.

Each battery shall have a purchase date no more than 120 days from the date of release and shall be fully maintained prior to shipment to the Purchaser. The battery compartment must be well-ventilated to prevent hydrogen buildup while protecting the compartment from road spray, water intrusion and de-icing chemicals.

Hybrid Electric buses that do not utilize the 24V coach batteries to crank the diesel engine may disregard the Cold Cranking Amp requirement and provide batteries as follows:

A minimum of 2 AGM type Group 31 batteries with a total of N Amp-hours capacity. The batteries will be of a type that is rated for deep cycle use.

The N will be calculated as follow:

The N will probably have to vary from Purchaser to Purchaser unless they would like to take the worst-case maximum and specify that number as the common requirement.

N is calculated as follows:
1) Determine the total current draw (A) for all equipment that remains powered up when the bus is turned off – Radio systems, fare-box alarms, camera systems, Fire suppression systems, etc., etc.
2) Determine the longest time interval that a bus will remain off on a regularly scheduled basis (H) - (eg. – from Friday at midnight until Monday at 5 am – 53 hours). 3) Finally, plan for a maximum battery discharge of 80% to allow some charge for system startup on Monday morning and allow for end-of-life capacity degradation.

So the formula is: A × H ÷ 80%.

For Example:

Total “always on” current draw = 3 amps
Maximum routine bus-off time = 53 hours
Amp-Hour Requirement = 3 × 53 ÷ 0.8 = 198.75 or ≈ 200 Amp-hours To be more conservative and allow for other factors, such as unanticipated current drain, cold weather conditions and others they could plan on 75% of usable capacity rather than 80%

23.3 Battery Cables
The battery terminal ends and cables shall be color-coded with red for the primary positive, black for negative and another color for any intermediate voltage cables.

Positive and negative battery cables shall not cross each other if at all possible, be flexible and sufficiently long to reach the batteries with the tray in the extended position without DocuSign Envelope ID: 0BCAE3B2-ECE2-4C1D-B546-7D2DDB787623

The battery quick disconnect access door shall be identified with a decal. The decal size shall not be less than 3.5 × 5 in. (8.89 × 12.7 cm).

The battery hold-down bracket shall be constructed of a non-metallic material (plastic or fiberglass).

This access door shall not require any special locking devices to gain access to the switch, and it shall be accessible without removing or lifting the panel. The door shall be flushfitting and incorporate a spring tensioner or equal to retain the door in a closed position when not in use. The batteries shall be securely mounted on a stainless steel, or equivalent tray that can accommodate the size and weight of the batteries. The battery tray shall pull out easily and properly support the batteries while they are being serviced.

The tray shall allow each battery cell to be easily serviced and filled. A locking device shall retain the battery tray to the stowed position.

23.17Discrete I/O (Inputs/Outputs)
All wiring to I/O devices, either at the harness level or individual wires, shall be labeled, stamped or color-coded in a fashion that allows unique identification at a spacing not exceeding 4 in. Wiring for each I/O device shall be bundled together. If the I/O terminals are the same voltages, then jumpers may be used to connect the common nodes of each I/O terminal.

23.18Shielding
All wiring that requires shielding shall meet the following minimum requirements. A shield shall be generated by connecting to a ground, which is sourced from a power distribution bus bar or chassis. A shield shall be connected at one location only, typically at one end of the cable. However certain standards or special requirements, such as SAE J1939 or RF applications, have separate shielding techniques that also shall be used as applicable.

NOTE: A shield grounded at both end forms a ground loop, which can cause intermittent control or faults.

When using shielded or coaxial cable, upon stripping of the insulation, the metallic braid shall be free from frayed strands, which can penetrate the insulation of the inner wires.

To prevent the introduction of noise, the shield shall not be connected to the common side of a logic circuit.

23.19Communications
The data network cabling shall be selected and installed according to the selected protocol requirements. The physical layer of all network communication systems shall not be used for any purpose other than communication between the system components, unless provided for in the network specifications.

23.20Radio Frequency (RF)
RF components, such as radios, video devices, cameras, global positioning systems (GPS), etc., shall use coaxial cable to carry the signal. All RF systems require special design consideration for losses along the cable. Connectors shall be minimized, since each connector and crimp has a loss that will attribute to attenuation of the signal. Cabling should allow for the removal of antennas or attached electronics without removing the installed cable between them. If this cannot be done, then a conduit of sufficient size shall be provided for ease of attachment of antenna and cable assembly. The corresponding component vendors shall be consulted for proper application of equipment, including installation of cables.

During OEM service intervals, Extremely Low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF) shall be monitored within safe exposure levels for all occupants and conform to DocuSign Envelope ID: 0BCAE3B2-ECE2-4C1D-B546-7D2DDB787623

The seat assembly shall withstand static vertical forces of 500 lbs. applied to the top of the seat cushion in each seating position with less than ¼-in. permanent deformation in the seat or its mountings. The seat assembly shall withstand static horizontal forces of 500 lbs. evenly distributed along the top of the seat back with less than ¼-in. permanent deformation in the seat or its mountings. The seat backs at the aisle position and at the window position shall withstand repeated impacts of two 40-lb sandbags without visible deterioration. One sandbag shall strike the front 40,000 times and the other sandbag shall strike the rear 40,000 times. Each sandbag shall be suspended on a 36-in. pendulum and shall strike the seat back 10,000 times each from distances of 6, 8, 10 and 12 in. Seats at both seating positions shall withstand 4000 vertical drops of a 40-lb sandbag without visible deterioration. The sandbag shall be dropped 1000 times each from heights of 6, 8, 10 and 12 in. Seat cushions shall withstand 100,000 randomly positioned 3½-in. drops of a squirming, 150-lb, smooth-surfaced, buttocks-shaped striker with only minimal wear on the seat covering and no failures to seat structure or cushion suspension components.

The back of each transverse seat shall incorporate a handhold no less than ⅞ in. in diameter for standees and seat access/egress. The handhold shall not be a safety hazard during severe decelerations. The handhold shall extend above the seat back near the aisle so that standees shall have a convenient vertical assist, no less than 4 in. long that may be grasped with the full hand. This handhold shall not cause a standee using this assist to interfere with a seated 50th-percentile male passenger. The handhold shall also be usable by a 5th-percentile female, as well as by larger passengers, to assist with seat access/egress for either transverse seating position. The upper rear portion of the seat back and the seat back handhold immediately forward of transverse seats shall be padded and/or constructed of energy absorbing materials.

During a 10g deceleration of the bus, the HIC number (as defined by SAE Standard J211a) shall not exceed 400 for passengers ranging in size from a 5th percentile female through a 95th percentile male.

The seat back handhold may be deleted from seats that do not have another transverse seat directly behind and where a vertical assist is provided.

Longitudinal seats shall be the same general design as transverse seats but without seat back handholds.

Longitudinal seats may be mounted on the wheelhouses. Armrests shall be included on the ends of each set of longitudinal seats except on the forward end of a seat set that is immediately to the rear of a transverse seat, the driver’s barrier, or a modesty panel, when these fixtures perform the function of restraining passengers from sliding forward off the seat. Armrests are not required on longitudinal seats located in the wheelchair parking area that fold up when the armrest on the adjacent fixed longitudinal seat is within 3½ in. of the end of the seat cushion. Armrests shall be located from 7 to 9 in.

above the seat cushion surface. The area between the armrest and the seat cushion shall be closed by a barrier or panel. The top and sides of the armrests shall have a minimum width of 1 in. and shall be free from sharp protrusions that form a safety hazard.

Seat back handhold and armrests shall withstand static horizontal and vertical forces of 250 lbs. applied anywhere along their length with less than ¼-in. permanent deformation.

Seat back handhold and armrests shall withstand 25,000 impacts in each direction of a horizontal force of 125 lbs. with less than ¼-in. permanent deformation and without visible deterioration.

37.7 Construction and Materials
Selected materials shall minimize damage from vandalism and shall reduce cleaning time.

The seats shall be attached to the frame with tamper-resistant fasteners. Coloring shall be consistent throughout the seat material, with no visually exposed portion painted. Any exposed metal touching the sides or the floor of the bus shall be stainless steel. The seat, pads and cushions shall be contoured for individuality, lateral support and maximum comfort and shall fit the framework to reduce exposed edges.

The minimum radius of any part of the seat back, handhold or modesty panel in the head or chest impact zone shall be a nominal ¼-in. The seat back and seat back handhold immediately forward of transverse seats shall be constructed of energy-absorbing materials to provide passenger protection and, in a severe crash, allow the passenger to deform the seating materials in the impact areas. Complete seat assemblies shall be interchangeable to the extent practicable. Purchaser to select seat fabric.

37.8 Passenger Assists
Passenger assists in the form of full grip, vertical stanchions or handholds shall be provided for the safety of standees and for ingress/egress. Passenger assists shall be convenient in location, shape, and size for both the 95th-percentile male and the 5thpercentile female standee. Starting from the entrance door and moving anywhere in the bus and out the exit door, a vertical assist shall be provided either as the vertical portion of seat back assist or as a separate item so that a 5th-percentile female passenger may easily move from one assist to another using one hand and the other without losing support. All handholds and stanchions at front doorway, around farebox, and at interior steps for bi-level designs shall be powder coated in a high-contrast yellow color. The forward-most vertical stanchions on either side of the aisle immediately behind the driver’s area shall be: Stainless steel finish or Powder-coated yellow as option, priced separately.
