RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the Transit Director that City Council award a contract services agreement to Transit Solutions, LLC (DBA TSI Video Surveillance) of Zelienople, PA (RFP B2024-13), for an amount not-to-exceed $1,024,663.36, to supply, install and maintain an on-board video surveillance system on the Torrance Transit buses and trolleys, for a two-year (2) period beginning December 2, 2025 and ending December 1, 2027.

FUNDING
Funding is available from Transit’s Federal Transit Administration 5307 Grant CA-2025-166 (GRTTR0017).

DISCUSSION
On November 14, 2024, the City of Torrance released a Request for Proposal (RFP B2024-13) via PlanetBids to supply, install and maintain an on-board video surveillance system on 63 Torrance Transit buses and 10 trolley buses. Torrance Transit will be utilizing Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Grant CA-2025-166 for video surveillance procurement. The prior camera system has reached the end of the useful life period.

A mandatory pre-proposal conference was conducted on December 2, 2024, for companies interested in proposing to the RFP. On Monday, January 13, 2025, the City received seven proposals in response to the RFP. The proposals were rated in 2 phases. In Phase 1, all seven proposals were rated and evaluated based upon price, experience and reference scores. In Phase 2, the top three vendors scored from Phase 1 were invited to install a demo unit on three Torrance buses for 90 days. Scoring in Phase 2 was solely based upon system performance, video quality and software ease-of-use. The rating criteria and the resulting scores from both phases are shown in the following table.

Phase 1
Phase 1 rating was based upon price, experience and reference scores. The evaluation team for Phase 1 was composed of 2 Torrance Transit staff members, 1 CIT Manager, and 1 member from 1 City Council

Unless earlier terminated in accordance with Paragraph 4 below, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect from the Effective Date through December 1, 2027.

3. COMPENSATION
4 ATTACHMENT 1

2 A. CONTRACTOR’s Fee.

For services rendered pursuant to this Agreement, CONTRACTOR will be paid in accordance with the compensation schedule set forth in the Proposal, provided, however, that in no event will the total amount of money paid the CONTRACTOR, for services initially contemplated by this Agreement, exceed the sum of $1,024,663.36 ($975,869.87 plus a 5% contingency of $48,793.49) (“Agreement Sum”), if first approved in writing by CITY.

B. Schedule of Payment.

Provided that the CONTRACTOR is not in default under the terms of this Agreement, upon presentation of an invoice, CONTRACTOR will be paid the fees described in Paragraph 3.A. above, according to the Compensation Schedule. Payment will be due within 30 days after the date of the invoice.

4. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
A. Termination by CITY for Convenience.

1. CITY may, at any time, terminate the Agreement for CITY’s convenience and without cause.

2. Upon receipt of written notice from CITY of such termination for CITY’s convenience, CONTRACTOR will:

a. cease operations as directed by CITY in the notice;
b. take actions necessary, or that CITY may direct, for the protection and preservation of the work; and
c. except for work directed to be performed prior to the effective date of termination stated in the notice, terminate all existing subcontracts and purchase orders and enter into no further subcontracts and purchase orders.

3. In case of such termination for CITY’s convenience,
CONTRACTOR will be entitled to receive payment for work executed; and costs incurred by reason of such termination, along with reasonable overhead and profit on the work not executed.

B. Termination for Cause.

1. If either party fails to perform any term, covenant or condition in this Agreement and that failure continues for 15 calendar days after the nondefaulting party gives the defaulting party written notice of the failure to perform, this Agreement may be terminated for cause; provided, however, that if during the notice period the defaulting 5 3
party has promptly commenced and continues diligent efforts to remedy the default, the defaulting party will have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to remedy the default.

2. In the event this Agreement is terminated for cause by the default of the CONTRACTOR, the CITY may, at the expense of the
CONTRACTOR and its surety, complete this Agreement or cause it to be completed. Any check or bond delivered to the CITY in connection with this Agreement, and the money payable thereon, will be forfeited to and remain the property of the CITY. All moneys due the CONTRACTOR under the terms of this Agreement will be retained by the CITY, but the retention will not release the CONTRACTOR and its surety from liability for the default. Under these circumstances, however, the CONTRACTOR and its surety will be credited with the amount of money retained, toward any amount by which the cost of completion exceeds the Agreement Sum and any amount authorized for extra services.

3. Termination for cause will not affect or terminate any of the rights of the CITY as against the CONTRACTOR or its surety then existing, or which may thereafter accrue because of the default; this provision is in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the CITY under law.

C. Termination for Breach of Law.

In the event the CONTRACTOR or any of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, subsidiaries or affiliates is convicted (i) of a criminal offense as an incident to obtaining or attempting to obtain a public or private contract or subcontract, or in the performance of a contract or subcontract; (ii) under state or federal statutes of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, receiving stolen property, or any other offense indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty which currently, seriously, and directly affects responsibility as a public consultant or contractor; (iii) under state or federal antitrust statutes arising out of the submission of bids or proposals; or (iv) of violation of Paragraph 19 of this Agreement; or for any other cause the CITY determines to be so serious and compelling as to affect CONTRACTOR’s responsibility as a public consultant or contractor, including but not limited to, debarment by another governmental agency, then the CITY reserves the unilateral right to terminate this Agreement or to impose such other sanctions (which may include financial sanctions, temporary suspensions or any other condition deemed appropriate short of termination) as it deems proper. The CITY will not take action until CONTRACTOR has been given notice and an opportunity to present evidence in mitigation.

5. FORCE MAJEURE
If any party fails to perform its obligations because of strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, embargoes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for labor or materials, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental control, judicial orders, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, then that party’s performance shall be excused for a period equal to the period of such cause for failure to perform.

6. RETENTION OF FUNDS
CONTRACTOR authorizes CITY to deduct from any amount payable to CONTRACTOR (whether or not arising out of this Agreement) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute or that are necessary to compensate CITY for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by CITY, and all amounts for which CITY may be liable to third parties, by reason of CONTRACTOR’s acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform CONTRACTOR’s obligations under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the amount or validity of which is disputed by CONTRACTOR, or any indebtedness exists that appears to be the basis for a claim of lien, CITY may withhold from any payment due, without liability for interest because of the withholding, an amount sufficient to cover the claim. The failure of CITY to exercise the right to deduct or to withhold will not, however, affect the obligations of CONTRACTOR to insure, indemnify, and protect CITY as elsewhere provided in this Agreement.

7. CITY REPRESENTATIVE
The Transit - Administration Manager is designated as the “City Representative,” authorized to act in its behalf with respect to the work and services specified in this Agreement and to make all decisions in connection with this Agreement.

It is further agreed, CONTRACTOR’s obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless will apply even in the event of concurrent negligence on the part of CITY, the City Council, each member thereof, present and future, or its officers, agents and employees, except for liability resulting solely from the negligence or willful misconduct of CITY, its officers, employees or agents.

Payment by CITY is not a condition precedent to enforcement of this indemnity.

In the event of any dispute between CONTRACTOR and CITY, as to whether liability arises from the sole negligence of the CITY or its officers, employees, agents, subcontractors or vendors, CONTRACTOR will be obligated to pay for CITY’s defense until such time as a final judgment has been entered adjudicating the CITY as solely negligent. CONTRACTOR will not be entitled in the event of such a determination to any reimbursement of defense costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees, expert fees and costs of litigation.

BOND REQUIREMENTS
The Federal agency or pass-through entity may accept the recipient’s or subrecipient’s bonding policy and requirements for construction or facility improvement contracts or subcontracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. Before doing so, the agency or pass-through entity must determine that the Federal interest is adequately protected. If such a determination has not been made, the minimum requirements must be as follows:
(a) A bid guarantee from each bidder equivalent to five percent of the bid price. The bid guarantee must consist of a firm commitment such as a bid bond, certified check, or other negotiable instrument accompanying a bid as assurance that the bidder will, upon acceptance of the bid, execute any required contractual documents within the specified timeframe. (b) A performance bond on the contractor’s part for 100 percent of the contract price. A performance bond is a bond executed in connection with a contract to secure the fulfillment of all the contractor's requirements under a contract.
(c) A payment bond on the contractor’s part for 100 percent of the contract price. A payment bond is a bond executed in connection with a contract to assure payment as required by the law of all persons supplying labor and material in the execution of the work provided for under a contract.

It is also understood and agreed that if the bidder should withdraw any part or all of their bid within [90] days after the bid opening without the written consent of the Agency, or refuse or be unable to enter into this Contract as provided above, or refuse or be unable to furnish adequate and acceptable Performance and Payment Bonds, or refuse or be unable to furnish adequate and acceptable insurance, as provided above, it shall forfeit its bid guaranty to the extent Agency’s damages occasioned by such withdrawal, or refusal, or inability to enter into a Contract, or provide adequate security thereof.

It is further understood and agreed that to the extent the defaulting bidder's bid guaranty shall prove inadequate to fully recompense Agency for the damages occasioned by default, then the bidder agrees to indemnify Agency and pay over to Agency the difference between the bid guarantee and Agency’s total damages so as to make Agency whole.

The bidder understands that any material alteration of any of the above or any of the material contained herein, other than that requested will render the bid unresponsive.

Performance Guarantee. A Performance Guarantee in the amount of 100% of the Contract value is required by the Agency to ensure faithful performance of the Contract. Either a Performance Bond or an Irrevocable Stand-By Letter of Credit shall be provided by the Contractor and shall remain in full force for the term of the Contract. The successful Bidder shall certify that it will provide the requisite Performance Guarantee to the Agency within ten (10) business days from Contract execution. The Agency requires all Performance Bonds to be 47 5
Sept-24
provided by a fully qualified surety company acceptable to the Agency and listed as a company currently authorized under 31 C.F.R. part 22 as possessing a Certificate of Authority as described hereunder. Agency may require additional performance bond protection when the contract price is increased. The increase in protection shall generally equal 100 percent of the increase in contract price. The Agency may secure additional protection by directing the Contractor to increase the amount of the existing bond or to obtain an additional bond.

If the Bidder chooses to provide a Letter of Credit as its Performance Guarantee, the Bidder shall furnish with its bid, certification that an Irrevocable Stand-By Letter of Credit will be furnished should the Bidder become the successful Contractor. The Bidder shall also provide a statement from the banking institution certifying that an Irrevocable Stand-By Letter of Credit for the action will be provided if the Contract is awarded to the Bidder. The Irrevocable Stand- By Letter of Credit will only be accepted by the Agency if:

1. A bank in good standing issues it. The Agency will not accept a Letter of Credit from an entity other than a bank.

2. It is in writing and signed by the issuing bank.

3. It conspicuously states that it is an irrevocable, non-transferable, “standby” Letter of Credit.

4. The Agency is identified as the Beneficiary.

5. It is in an amount equal to 100% of the Contract value. This amount must be in U.S. dollars.

6. The effective date of the Letter of Credit is the same as the effective date of the Contract.

7. The expiration date of the Letter of Credit coincides with the term of the contract.

8. It indicates that it is being issued in order to support the obligation of the Contractor to perform under the Contract. It must specifically reference the Contract between the Agency and the Contractor the work stipulated herein.

The issuing bank’s obligation to pay will arise upon the presentation of the original Letter of Credit and a certificate and draft to the issuing bank’s representative at a location and time to be determined by the parties. This documentation will indicate that the Contractor is in default under the Contract.

Payment Bonds. A Labor and Materials Payment Bond equal to the full value of the contract must be furnished by the contractor to Agency as security for payment by the Contractor and subcontractors for labor, materials, and rental of equipment. The bond may be issued by a fully qualified surety company acceptable to (Agency) and listed as a company currently authorized under 31 C.F.R. part 223 as possessing a Certificate of Authority as described thereunder.

(Note that the simplified acquisition threshold determines the procurement procedures that must be employed pursuant to 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.317–200.327. The simplified acquisition threshold does not exempt a procurement from other eligibility or processes requirements that may apply. For example, Buy America’s eligibility and process requirements apply to any procurement in excess of $150,000. 49 U.S.C. § 5323(j)(13).

The requirements of Section 6002 include procuring only items designated in the guidelines of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 40 CFR Part 247 that contain the highest percentage of recovered materials practicable, consistent with maintaining a satisfactory level of competition, where the purchase price of the item exceeds $10,000 or the value of the quantity acquired during the preceding fiscal year exceeded $10,000; procuring solid waste management services in a manner that maximizes energy and resource recovery; and establishing an affirmative procurement program for procurement of recovered materials identified in the EPA guidelines.

(b) The recipient or subrecipient should, to the greatest extent practicable and consistent with law, purchase, acquire, or use products and services that can be reused, refurbished, or recycled; contain recycled content, are biobased, or are energy and water efficient; and are sustainable.

SPECIAL DOL EEO CLAUSE FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

The applicant hereby agrees that it will incorporate or cause to be incorporated into any contract for construction work, or modification thereof, as defined in the regulations of the Secretary of Labor at 41 CFR Chapter 60, which is paid for in whole or in part with funds obtained from the Federal Government or borrowed on the credit of the Federal Government pursuant to a grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, or undertaken pursuant to any Federal program involving such grant, contract, loan, insurance, or guarantee, the following equal opportunity clause:

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. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:

Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.

(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to 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 70 28
Sept-24
under this section and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment.

(5) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.

(6) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.

(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.

(8) The contractor will include the portion of the sentence immediately preceding paragraph (1) and the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. 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.

The applicant agrees that it will assist and cooperate actively with the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor in obtaining the compliance of contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor, that it will furnish the administering agency and the Secretary of Labor such information 71 29
Sept-24
as they may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the administering agency in the discharge of the agency's primary responsibility for securing compliance.

The applicant further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for, Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor pursuant to Part II, Subpart D of the Executive Order. In addition, the applicant agrees that if it fails or refuses to comply with these undertakings, the administering agency may take any or all of the following actions: Cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part this grant (contract, loan, insurance, guarantee); refrain from extending any further assistance to the applicant under the program with respect to which the failure or refund occurred until satisfactory assurance of future compliance has been received from such applicant; and refer the case to the Department of Justice for appropriate legal proceedings.

TERMINATION

Termination for Convenience (General Provision)
The Agency may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, at any time by written notice to the Contractor when it is in the Agency’s best interest. The Contractor shall be paid its costs, including contract close-out costs, and profit on work performed up to the time of termination.

The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to Agency to be paid the Contractor.

If the Contractor has any property in its possession belonging to Agency, the Contractor will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner Agency directs.

Termination for Default [Breach or Cause] (General Provision) If the Contractor does not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery schedule, or if the contract is for services, the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the contract, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of the contract, the Agency may terminate this contract for default. Termination shall be effected by serving a Notice of Termination on the Contractor setting forth the manner in which the Contractor is in default. The Contractor will be paid only the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in the contract.

If it is later determined by the Agency that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the Contractor, the Agency, after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a Termination for Convenience.

Opportunity to Cure (General Provision)
The Agency, in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately short period of time] in which to cure the defect. In such case, the Notice of Termination will state the time period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions.

If Contractor fails to remedy to Agency's satisfaction the breach or default of any of the terms, 73 31
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.

Termination for Convenience (Professional or Transit Service Contracts) The Agency, by written notice, may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, when it is in the Agency’s interest. If this contract is terminated, the Agency shall be liable only for payment under the payment provisions of this contract for services rendered before the effective date of termination.

Termination for Default (Supplies and Service)
If the Contractor fails to deliver supplies or to perform the services within the time specified in this contract or any extension, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the Agency may terminate this contract for default. The Agency shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner or performance set forth in this contract.

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 the Agency.

Termination for Default (Transportation Services)
If the Contractor fails to pick up the commodities or to perform the services, including delivery services, within the time specified in this contract or any extension, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the Agency may terminate this contract for default. The Agency shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in this contract.

If this contract is terminated while the Contractor has possession of Agency goods, the Contractor shall, upon direction of the Agency, protect and preserve the goods until surrendered to the Agency or its agent. The Contractor and Agency shall agree on payment for the preservation and protection of goods. Failure to agree on an amount will be resolved under the Dispute clause.

If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor 74 32
Sept-24
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 the Agency.

Termination for Default (Construction)
If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the work or any separable part, with the diligence that will ensure its completion within the time specified in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within this time, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provision of this contract, Agency may terminate this contract for default. 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. The Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for any damage to the Agency resulting from the Contractor's refusal or failure to complete the work within specified time, whether or not the Contractor's right to proceed with the work is terminated. 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:

1. The delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor. Examples of such causes include:
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. The judgment of Agency shall be final and conclusive for the parties, but subject to appeal under the Disputes clause(s) of this contract.

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. The Agency shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature, extent, and effective date of the termination. Upon receipt of the notice, the Contractor shall (1) immediately discontinue all services affected (unless the notice directs otherwise), and (2) deliver to the Agency ‘s Contracting Officer all data, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, summaries, and other information and materials accumulated in performing this contract, whether completed or in process. Agency has a royalty-free, nonexclusive, and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish or otherwise use, all such data, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, summaries, and other information and materials. 75 33
Sept-24
If the termination is for the convenience of the Agency, the Agency’s Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the contract price but shall allow no anticipated profit on unperformed services.

If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, the Agency may complete the work by contact or otherwise and the Contractor shall be liable for any additional cost incurred by the 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. If the termination is for default, the Agency may fix the fee, if the contract provides for a fee, to be paid the Contractor in proportion to the value, if any, of work performed up to the time of termination. The Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to the Agency and the parties shall negotiate the termination settlement to be paid the Contractor.

If the termination is for the convenience of Agency, the Contractor shall be paid its contract close-out costs, and a fee, if the contract provided for payment of a fee, in proportion to the work performed up to the time of termination.

If, after serving a Notice of Termination for Default, the Agency determines that the Contractor has an excusable reason for not performing, the Agency, after setting up a new work schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a Termination for Convenience.

VETERANS HIRING PREFERENCE

Veterans Employment - Construction contracts of Federal financial assistance shall ensure that contractors working on a capital project funded using such assistance give a hiring preference, to the extent practicable, to veterans (as defined in section 2108 of title 5) who have the requisite skills and abilities to perform the construction work required under the contract. This subsection shall not be understood, construed or enforced in any manner that would require an employer to give a preference to any veteran over any equally qualified applicant who is a member of any racial or ethnic minority, female, an individual with a disability, or a former employee.

RE: RFP No. B2024-13 Purchase and Installation of an On-Board Video Surveillance System Dear TTS Proposal Review Team,
Transit Solutions, LLC (dba: TSI Video and hereafter referred to as TSI) is pleased to provide our response to the Torrance Transit System for RFP No. B2024-13 Purchase and Installation of an On- Board Video Surveillance System. TSI is a leading mobile video surveillance provider for the Public Transportation industry that has successfully served and continues to serve transit authorities of all sizes across North America. TSI is a Pennsylvania based Limited Liability Company (LLC) that was founded in 2009 and is unique in that we are the only video surveillance provider that is solely focused on the Public Transportation industry. TSI’s complete line of product offerings has been built for the sole purpose of providing high quality video surveillance products to the Public Transportation industry. With a management, engineering, operations, sales and support team that only has one industry to focus on, you can see why TSI is setting the bar for onboard camera systems for the public transit industry.

Our company is owned and operated by Mr. Matthew White (Owner/President). Mr. White will serve as TSI’s point of contact for all discussions associated with this proposal. Contact information for Mr. White can be found in the signature section of this Cover Letter.

TSI will serve as the Prime Contractor and will be the primary supplier of products and services on this project; TSI’s team also includes long-time partner Quality Mobile Installations (as our primary installation subcontractor).

TSI Intent
TSI intends to provide a fully functional replacement of TTS’s existing On-Board Video Surveillance System that meets the requirements outlined in this RFP. The proposed TSI solution is designed on an open-architecture platform, and with TSI wholly owning the intellectual property for its core hardware, software, and firmware, each system upgrade is developed with backwards compatibility at the forefront. TSI is proposing more than hardware and software; TSI is proposing a Transit Vehicle Camera Solution that is designed with the needs of the public transit industry in mind. Every piece of the TSI solution has been designed solely for public transit… no other vendor in the industry can make that claim.

Cover Letter
92 The TSI Advantage
TSI’s proposed solution offers several distinct advantages to TTS over other supplier solutions.

These advantages include the following:

TSI is fully compliant with all TTS Contract terms and conditions (T&Cs) and supports the full suite of technologies necessary to meet TTS’s requirements for this RFP, as well as expansion requirements for the future.

Not only is TSI’s system fully NDAA & Buy America compliant, TSI is only provider in the industry that fully manufacturers its Network Video Recorder in the USA ! TSI can clearly state that we are proposing a “On-Board Video Surveillance System” that will include the required interface to Clever Devices for the sharing of meta-data.

TSI’s warranty/support policy on this project includes three (3) years of hardware and software warranty.

TSI has also proposed our max-capacity 16TB SSD drive on all vehicle types as part of our base proposal.

As part of our standard customer support process TSI will come onsite for the commissioning of new buses when they arrive at the TTS facility at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE whenever new vehicles are purchased with full TSI systems installed by the OEM. During these visits TSI will perform additional training as needed at no cost to TTS.

In Closing
TSI appreciates TTS’s consideration of our proposal, and we look forward to working with your team for the successful implementation of the On-Board Video Surveillance System project. Feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions regarding this proposal.

3.2. Project Understanding

TSI fully understands that TTS is looking to procure a Purchase and Installation of an On-Board Video Surveillance System that meets the requirements outlined in

RFP No. B2024

-
13 . TSI is proposing a
fully compliant solution that includes the required onboard video surveillance technology, backend software, installation, training and warranty.

TTS clearly has goals associated with the procurement of a new “Purchase and Installation of an On -Board Video Surveillance System” and to achieve those goals you will need a partner who first and foremost understands public transit. It is critical that your selected partner’s products are designed to meet the harsh demands that will be placed on the in-vehicle video surveillance solution you are about to procure. You need a solution that meets your needs today yet is scalable to meet

TTS
’s operational
goals for the future. Most importantly, you need a partner with integrity and a reputation for putting the customer first to ensure that TTS is successful! We genuinely believe that TSI is the right onboard video surveillance partner for TTS! TSI strongly encourages you to contact each of the references we have provided, and ask them… How has TSI performed as a partner?

As you delve deeper into your review of the various proposals you have received in response to RFP No. B2024

-
13 you will notice
that TSI emphasizes our focus on public transportation
throughout this proposal. This singular focus may not seem very important initially, but

having a partner that works closely with its
partners/customers to develop features and technology
enhancements that are specifically designed to meet the needs of public transportation can be greatly beneficial to your organization.

TSI is

also
quite unique in the fact that we own the intellectual
property of not only our proposed Nexus –Network Video
Recorder (NVR), but we also own and have developed the
NexView Software specifically for public transit utilizing an “Open – Architecture” design. T his “Open – Architecture” design has allowed TSI to integrate with virtually every mobile video surveillance camera in the industry today. Not only does TSI own “As the CEO of the Erie
Metropolitan Transit
Authority, (EMTA), I've
had the privilege of
working with TSI and
their dedicated staff.

We at EMTA have been
nothing short of
impressed at the quality
of video that TSI has
provided for our buses.

It's not very often that a
vendor reaches out and
sells a product that they
can deliver and backup,
in this case, TSI does!

Their innovative and
knowledgeable staff has
provided EMTA with the
tangibles necessary to
be a leader in the ever-
evolving transit world.

A tip of the hat to TSI
and I look forward to
many years of working
with them.”

the intellectual property of the Nexus - NVR, but it is also manufactured and assembled a short drive from our corporate office in western Pennsylvania

Ask
any of the other vendors who submit
a response to this RFP if they can drive you to their manufacturing facility.

Today, almost all our competitors

are
selling hardware that is designed and manufactured
overseas for a wide range of applications

While there are vendors who are selling their specific
product (manufactured overseas) most of them are

simply selling hardware that is

rebranded
with their logo and marketed as “their” product. This business model

often
allows a lower cost
solution but provides challenges for customers when these “video surveillance companies” release a new product that may or may not have been built by the same “overseas manufacturer/supplier.” Often this results in multiple versions of hardware and software that are not backwards compatible and makes management of the video system difficult at best. Keep in mind that the U.S. public transit

industry is a very, very small percentage of their overall business, therefore the only avenue they have for reoccurring sales/revenue is the sale of new hardware that requires a complete system overhaul.

The question TTS must ask is… “Do we want to purchase a solution that the proposing vendor has virtually no control over?”

our submitted and approved Acceptance Test Plan documents. During vehicle installation, TSI will utilize the previously approved System Design Document (SDD) to ensure that equipment placement and camera views agree with the approved locations/views in the

SDD.

TSI will utilize Quality Mobile Installations (QMI) as our install partner for the vehicle installation portion of this project

.
(Reference www.qualitymobileinstallations.com for additional information about QMI).

QMI specializes in the installation and servicing of mobile surveillance systems and other ITS technologies on transit buses and rail. QMI has performed mobile video installations for hundreds of different transit agencies and school systems on virtually every style of bus in existence. In particu lar, the staff of QMI have been involved in the installation of thousands of TSI mobile video systems at dozens of different agencies across North America

Training

Start: 13 weeks from NTP

Duration: 1 week

Training typically starts once a significant number of bus installations have been completed.

The training period is scheduled to occur over roughly a 1 -week period in a series of 4 -hour sessions. The actual number of days to complete will be based on the number of sessions needed to complete the training. TSI will work with

TTS
to determine the best timeframe and
schedule for this training.

At TSI we believe that training is one of the most important elements of any successful project.

After all, what good is a video system if you don’t know how to use

it or maintain it? The training
we provide has been developed by collaborating directly with our customers to ensure that each session is thorough and concise based on the user’s

knowledge level. TSI will provide a full
set of training documentation and end -user training courses as requested to TTS designated personnel as part of this project.

All training sessions will be performed at a

TTS
designated training room/facility and will include
personnel to be identified by TTS. Training will be performed by either the TSI Project Manager or the TSI Systems Engineer. Both individuals have considerable experience in performing training sessions at other transit agencies.

Based on our experience in the industry and lessons learned with other customers like

TTS
, we
understand that training needs to be refreshed from time-to-time and should be offered to new personnel that might join an agency after the initial deployment of the system.

TSI would like to
point out that our Gold Level Warranty

includes
one on-site visit per year to TTS for additional
training – at no additional cost.

4.3. TSI Warranty and Support
So, you have made it this far and you are still reading, and let’s be honest… reading any technical proposal is a mundane and monotonous task. The tough part of any project of this nature is the fact that you are going to live with the decision you make on this project for a minimum of 7 – 10 years and hopefully longer. It often comes down to selecting the vendor/partner that you feel will provide Torrance Transit with the highest level of ongoing support after the project is completed. TSI strongly encoura ges you to reach out to the references we have provided (more available upon request) and ask them… “How has TSI performed as a partner?” “Has TSI provided the level of support they promised?” “Is TSI responsive when challenges arise?”

TSI will provide, as part of our base offering , ( 3) years of Warranty and Support on all new hardware and software. TSI has proposed our Gold Level Warranty and Support which includes one site visit per year as long as TTS is under warranty. While onsite, TSI staff will work with

TTS

maintenance staff to train, review the general health of the TSI Video system and address any ongoing system challenges. Additional years of Warranty and Support (beyond

3 years) are
available if

TTS
desires to extend beyond the proposed options.

The following section provides a high

-
level description and effective periods of the Hardware Warranty as well as Operations and Maintenance support services included as part of the TSI Gold Level Warranty.

Hardware Warranty:

Base 3 years from final system acceptance.

Parts and labor associated with TSI provided hardware. This includes repair/replacement of any failed TSI hardware component shipped back by

TTS
to TSI’s depot repair facility via TSI’s online
Return Material Authorization (RMA) procedure. Under this plan, TTS will be responsible for all “remove and replace” of failed hardware components on the bus (after training by TSI personnel), and shipment back to the TSI depot repair facility. TSI will test the RMA’d component and either repair or replace the component. TSI will then be responsible for shipment of the repaired or new component back to the

TTS
facility.

Software Warranty:

Base 3 years from final system acceptance. Includes application of all patches, software updates and bug fixes as needed during the Warranty Period. [Additional years of hardware and software warranty

will be
priced in the options section of the pricing proposal].

Gold Level - Annual Onsite Support:

As part of our Gold Level Support for the

TTS
project TSI includes one (1) site visits per year. These visits will be coordinated with the key personnel at TTS and will include a routine health check 124

of the overall system, training and troubleshooting of any challenges to ensure the highest level of functionality of our system.

Phone Support:

For as long as hardware and software warranty are maintained.

Includes unlimited phone support during TSI operating hours.

Web Support:

All Web Support is Standard in TSI’s Gold Level Support plan.

TTS
software issues will be reported
through TSI’s Zendesk Support Portal system. In the TSI Zendesk Support Portal, the

TTS
user
reporting the issue will be allowed to select from 3 levels of issue “Severity” when logging the issue “ticket”. The severity level will be used to determine the following:

Initial TSI Response Time for this ticket.

Importance attributed to determining resolution to this issue.

Determination of whether the fix will be released as soon as possible through a “Patch Release” or wait for a future Minor or Major Release.

The following is a table of target “Response Times” associated with the Gold Level Warranty Program:

TTS Additional Monthly Onsite Support:

As part of the TT S procurement, TSI has proposed a monthly on -site service trip for one (1) technician for up to two (2) consecutive days. TSI has provided this pricing in the “Monthly Services” line item of the price sheet.

Typically, on

-
site services are priced as part of a custom-warranty package after extensive discussion with the procuring agency regarding frequency, length of time, level of service, and expectations surrounding the on -site service visits. Given that the RFP did not provide specific details regarding the on-site service trip requirements, TSI has provided this monthly on-site service trip as an option to Torrance Transit. If desired, TSI will work with Torrance Transit to create a customer service plan based on the agency's exact needs upon award of this procurement.

5. TSI Proposed Onboard Solution
With a sole focus of providing high quality onboard video surveillance technologies for public transit, Torrance Transit can rest assured that each component of our solution has been designed specifically to meet the harsh demands of the public transit environment.

In addition to our s

ystem
being designed specifically for the transit industry, TSI’s video solution has also been developed an “Open Architecture” platform. This “open

–
architecture” design
allows the TSI suite of products to easily integrate with many transit hardware/software infrastructures - on both the

nboard and the

Fixed E
nd side of the equation.

The “open architecture” design has also allowed TSI to successfully integrate our Nexus recorders to cameras supplied by virtually every video surveillance provider in the industry including Safety Vision, Apollo, MobileView, Seon,

March Networks, REI, and Axis – just to
mention a few. This has allowed many of our customers (should they so choose) to save a tremendous amount of time and money by reusing their former investment in onboard cameras from 3rd party providers. For TTS this could potentially be an option for any buses currently equipped with IP cameras, saving on the purchase of hardware and installation costs.

TSI’s transit specific focus has allowed our company the ability to design/develop features that are based on the needs of transit systems across North America. One area where this transit specific focus is showcased is our ability and willingness to work with other third-party products, such as CAD/AVL solution providers.

TSI has successfully integrated with many of the industry’s leading CAD/AVL providers such as INiT, Avail Technologies, Orbital, and Equans. The TSI integration with Clever Devices is completed and in the testing phase and will be ready for implementation by kick -off. TSI believes that this level of integration is a testament to our focus on the public transit industry.

5.1. Vehicle Subsystem
In this Section TSI will describe what the proposed solution for the TTS OBVSS project will look like based on the requirements outlined in this RFP. The TSI proposed solution includes the installation of our Nexus -NVR network video recorder as the replacement for the existing onboard video recorder; as well as other ancillary equipment associated with a fully functioning mobile video surveillance solution. In the following subsections you will find detailed hardware and software descriptions and diagrams f or both the Vehicle and Fixed -End Subsystems of our proposed solution. In addition, detailed product specification sheets for TSI provided products can also be found in

Appendix A
of this proposal.

With a focus o n providing high quality onboard video surveillance technologies for public transit, Torrance Transit

can rest assured that each component of our solution has been 127
Proposal Submittal (continued):

Vendor Name: TSI Video
36 | Page

designed specifically to meet the harsh demands of the public transit environment.

This Vehicle Subsystem section of the proposal provides details regarding the components that TSI will be proposing for the onboard portion of the project. Each vehicle within this project will be equipped with the same core components to ensure continuity and interchangeability across the fleet.

Nexus – Network Video Recorder (NVR)
Our industry leading Nexus-NVR mobile network
video recorder is

specifically
designed for the
Public Transportation market. The

Nexus
-NVR
supports up to 32 channels (cameras) of IP video;
the first 8 cameras through the
embedded/integrated 8 port PoE switch (see
picture right) and up to 24 additional cameras
through additional external PoE switches that
can be attached via a “daisy-chain” configuration. For this TTS project we will simply utilize the embedded/integrated 8 port PoE switch shown in this picture along with (1) one additional POE Switch. In addition to video, the

Nexus
-NVR supports audio on each IP channel for any camera
that has embedded audio in the camera.

Beyond video and audio, the

Nexus
-NVR serves as a central hub for the collection of
metadata such as GPS latitude/longitude/speed, up to 6 discrete inputs, accelerometer (G- Force) readings, and optional interfaces to other on-board systems. All data is stored on an integrated removable dual disk drive, with our standard 2TB’s of solid-state storage on a dual drive configuration, or up to

an optional

16TB’s of solid

-
state storage if

desired
. Security
measures include a keyed on/off switch and locking hard drive to prevent tampering.

The Nexus-NVR also supports a full suite of wireless viewing and download/upload capabilities over any type of IP-based wireless network. When integrated with TSI’s NexView

software, the
Nexus-NVR is the mobile solution of choice for the discerning transit agency.

Key features include:
o Mobile rated Network Video Recorder.
o 8 IP video channels (embedded PoE), or up to 32 IP video channels [ by adding external daisy chained PoE switches such as TSI’s 8 port external PoE switch]. o H.264 High Profile compression
o Up to 30 fps/camera
o Integrated (3) axis accelerometer
128
Proposal Submittal (continued):

o Up to 16TB of storage
o Up to 4K camera resolutions .
o J-1939 Interface
o Plug-and-play IP camera functionality
o Additional ethernet port that will be used for connectivity to the Digi router on this project.
o GPS interface (on this project we will use the Digi unit for GPS) o LED system health status interface
o Interface for backup camera display
TSI supports interfaces to voltage

-
controlled signals, active high, or active low with 0 to 5

–
24 volts. TSI’s Nexus

-
NVR will support up to 6-discreet inputs from within the bus including the following for this project:
o Left Turn
o Right Turn
o Brake
o Headlights
o Hazard Lights
TSI also supports J-1939 configuration on newer buses allowing for additional discrete connections.

129
Proposal Submittal (continued):

TSI PoE Switch
The proposed

Nexus
– NVR is designed to accommodate up to (8) IP cameras
through a built PoE switch. For this project TSI will be installing our remote PoE switch to accommodate

up to (16) IP

cameras. Each bus will utilize (1) PoE
switch.

TSI is utilizing this switch in combination with the

Nexus
-NVR and NexView
software to easily manage and configure TSIP cameras. A key benefit of this managed switch is that it allows the

Nexus
-NVR to automatically configure TSIP
cameras using only a Nexus

-
NVR configuration file (plug and play capabilities).

This kind of automatic configuration will drastically cut down on the complexity and time required to program the IP cameras. Users can avoid h aving to log directly into an IP camera, with this switch they are able to set all TSIP camera configuration settings through the Nexus

-
HVR.

This switch is specifically designed for the public transit environment. The wide operating temperature range of

–
40 °C to °75 C will always allow the POE switch to operate. The 8 -32V Power input allows the switch to be powered on in any vehicle applicatio n. The switch comes with Din

-
Rail or multi -directional mounting option, this allows for more flexibility with the installation location.

Storage Media

TSI is proposing our unique solid -state dual drive configuration for onboard video storage. The proposed solution meets or exceeds the required 30 days of video storage. A key feature proposed by TSI with its

Nexus
- NVR is our exclusive Hybrid Data
Management System (HDMS). TSI’s HDMS is a unique dual drive configuration that comes with considerable flexibility in solid state sizes, styles and configuration options.

These drives are designed with a

failover drive configuration. Failover drive configuration automatically handles the failure of a single internal drive by 1) automatically switching over to the second internal drive, 2) illuminating the red LED on the LED status unit – indicating a dri

ve
failure, and 3) reporting the drive failure to TSI’s NexView software over the next wireless download of status data.

The SSD

options available within the TSI suite of products include:

o 2B solid state drive (SSD) – consisting of dual internal 1 TB SSDs o 4TB solid state drive (SSD) – consisting of dual internal 2 TB SSDs o 8TB solid state drive (SSD) – consisting of dual internal 4 TB SSDs 130
Proposal Submittal (continued):

Vendor Name: TSI Video
39 | Page

o 16TB solid state drive (SSD) – consisting of dual internal 8TB SSDs

TSI Nexus - NVR drive sizes will continue to increase upon the future release of larger capacity

2.5” mobile rated SATA drives.

TSI LED System Health Status Display

TSI will provide and install our high-quality 4-color LED System Health Status Display for use on this project. One unit will be installed as part of each DVR installation.

The TSI LED System Health Status Display will be mounted in the bus operator’s area in a location that is easy to see. The actual location is determined during the vehicle surveys and agreed upon by both the

TTS
staff and TSI.

TSI Video Event Button

TSI will provide and install our Event Button as part of each bus installation activity.

The Event Button differs slightly from an Emergency Alarm Button. Examples of when the Event Button is used are, a slip and fall with no apparent physical injury, mild confrontation between bus passenger and operator , etc. This button is installed in an agreed upon location near the bus operator. The TSI Event Button allows the bus operator to trigger or “mark” a video event for video retention while the system is recording. An event video is protected from overwriting on the disk until the video event is removed by an authorized user, or until the video is automatically uploaded, via Wi -Fi in the yard, through the

NexView

software. The length of this event (both pre

-
event time and
post-event time) is a configurable item from within the

NexView

software while setting up the
DVR configuration parameters. TSI will work with your agency (prior to bus installation) to determine the proper “pre” and “post” event time to be configured for this event button.

TSI can also interface to the existing Emergency Alarm Button if desired, allowing video to also be tagged during emergency events.

5.2. Fixed End Subsystem
This Fixed End Subsystem section of the proposal provides details regarding the components (both hardware and software) that TSI has proposed for the

Fixed End

portion of the project.

TSI Video is committed to providing our customers with a robust and innovative software platform th at enables those customers to work both effectively and efficiently. TSI Video understood in Q2 of 2023 that browser -based functionality would be needed to compliment our current client software offering. With that goal in mind, TSI began the largest development project in our company’s history and created a multi-phase development project spanning multiple years to bring our browser

-
based software to fruition.

As of

Q
4 2024, Phase 1 of TSI’s browser-based development project has been completed and is able to be implemented at customer sites

. Phase 1 included the design and development of
user specific dashboards, the ability to view fleet status, the ability to generate video requests (Video Queries, Geographical Queries, Ridership Validation Jobs), manage server tasks, and manage fleet communication as well as download/job statistics. With the conclusion of Phase 1, Phase 2 of the browser-based development project has begun. Phase 2 will enable users to view video playback within a browser, configure devices, and perform advanced diagnostics.

SI’s current development timeline estimates that Phase 2 of the browser based NexView software will be available by Q4 2025 . We believe this solution will provide users with flexibility needed in today’s transit workspace. With the conclusion of browser -based development, customers will no longer need to schedule client

-
based software rollout.

TSI NexView Software

TSI is in the middle of our largest development effort in the last 10 years as we have completely redesigned the NexView Software platform to a browser-based offering. This project kicked-off in late 2023 and has been ongoing through 2024. At the writing o f this proposal the redesign is approximately 50% complete and is scheduled for completion in the middle of 2025 with customer rollout in late 2025.

TSI currently has several features available that are ready for use as a web -based software solution. Web based functionality available today are the following:
 Fleet Status
 Job Status
 Permission Management

 Video Requests
 Video Archive Playback

TSI is currently testing the video query functionality. The screenshot below demonstrates the new dashboard feature which provides a glance into the system. TSI has worked extremely hard to make the new browser-based solution both appealing, user friendly, and highly efficient.

The TTS project deployment schedule will determine the initial backend software configuration/setup. TSI is committed to providing

TTS
with the web-based solution once all testing
is fully completed.

TSI wants to be very clear in that each of the features and functionality outlined in the pages below will be included in the development of the browser

-
based solution.

Initially, TSI will provide a complete set of TSI

NexView
Client and Server software to

TTS
for all
locations identified by

TTS
for this project. All client and server TSI licensing has been priced as “Enterprise Licenses” and available for use on as many servers, virtual servers and client workstations/laptops at each

TTS
location.

The TSI

NexView

software is a sophisticated client/server software suite that runs on any standard MS Windows 10 or later workstation or laptop, and any MS Windows Server 2016 or later server.

TTS will use TSI’s NexView software for reviewing video, audio, and related data; configuring Nexus - NVR systems; as well as performing all fleet management, video query and diagnostic functions.

The following are the minimum and recommended requirements for proper function of this software:
o HD Video (IP Camera) Recommended:
 Intel Core i7 or Equivalent

142
Proposal Submittal (continued):

Vendor Name: TSI Video

 16GB DDR3 Memory or Higher
 HDD space is on an as needed basis, but a minimum of 50GB

The user interface for the

NexView
software utilizes a tab

-
based GUI for easy access to multiple
functions of the

NexView

software. The primary tabs for the

NexView
Software are as follows:

 Fleet Tab: The “Fleet” tab relates to current fleet status. It allows for users to quickly assess any issues in the fleet by applying filters such as warnings or errors. Customizable and sortable columns allow the user to quickly visualize buses that have failed to

connect to the
server recently.
 Jobs: The “Jobs” tab provides users the ability to create video requests for specific video segments and view the current download status and progress of these requests. This tab also allows users to configure and modify regularly scheduled tasks such as Status Checks, Time Syncs, Configuration Syncs, etc.
 Video Playback: The tab “Video Playback” is intended to be used for all forms of video playback, whether from the video archive, direct from the

Nexus -
NVR, opening a local
Video Playback: The tab “Video Playback” is intended to be used for all forms of video playback, whether from the video archive, direct from the Nexus-NVR, opening a local file, or streaming live video. All functions of review and export are performed on this tab as well.
143
Proposal Submittal (continued):

file, or streaming live video. All functions for video review and exporting of video are performed on this tab as well.
 Configuration: In the tab “Configuration”, all primary functions of programming or configuring the Nexus - NVR are addressed. This tab allows for pushing or saving configuration files as well as viewing saved and/or synchronized configuration files. Sync’d configuration files allow users to view the current configuration of a vehicle without the vehicle being present. “Configuration” also allows users to customize every aspect of the Nexus - NVR including inputs, alarms, cameras, frame rates, actions, recor ding styles, and many more functions.
 Service: The “Service” Tab is an advanced functionality tab that allows the users to interact with the DVR and Server for elevated investigation of

Nexus
- NVRs and server database
inspection. The “Service” tab also lets the user manage firmware versions held on the server for rollout or reference history.

NexView Software – User Rights Management
NexView manages user rights either using an internal user permission structure maintained in the database or associates with Active Directory and can assign roles based on the user’s groups.

Within the software, specific users (or associated group if active directory is used) are granted permissions based on that user’s (or group’s) assignment by the system administrator. Depending on the piece of functionality or option within the software, restricted items may simply not be present or provide a dialog box stating the user does not have permission to perform the action they are attempting.

The NexView software “User management” console is a separate menu item that allows system administrators to configure groups and users for permissions in the software. User setup can not only be limited to certain tabs within

NexView

, but also certain functions within certain tabs. This
feature paired with Active Directory integration allows for efficient and easy user configuration.

User interaction to the server application configuration is done through the

NexView
client (after
initial configuration through the server application installation process). This window allows for configuration of Active Directory, SMTP servers, email groups, and standard server application functions.

NexView Software – Fleet Status and Alerts
User email alerts are broken into three (3) different categories:
o Maintenance Alerts – alerts such as camera outages and HDD/SSD issues o Event Downloads – alerts that are created when automatic event video downloads occur
o Server Application Status Alerts – alerts that are sent when the server application stops or starts

NexView Software - Onboa rd Equipment Remote Configuration The NexView software allows users to create groups of vehicles based on their planned configuration parameters (Number of Cameras, Inputs, Recording Preferences, etc.). Once created, these groups allow the user to wirelessly push configuration changes to the groups of vehicles, or to a single vehicle if the user prefers. This functionality is ideal for post implementation changes to optimize the use of the system.

NexView also allows the user to wirelessly push firmware updates in a safe manner to the Nexus – NVR to allow for remote firmware upgrades. This eliminates the need for a technician to physically connect to each individual bus for a firmware upgrade.

NexView Software - Data Management
Management of video data within the

NexView

software streamlines the process of accessing,
viewing, and maintaining video clips. Only users with proper credentials can access

NexView’s
“Video Archive”. The “Video Archive” houses all video clips that have been requested or automatically downloaded from the vehicle’s Nexus – NVRs. Within the “Video Archive”, each clip is labeled with not only a description, but also ancillary data such as the requestor of the video, the bus number, the date and time of clip, etc. These searchable and filterable fields allow for quick access to video clips that are recent, or as old as your video archive. The “Video Archive” also manages the retention of all videos, whether short

-
term, long-term, or indefinite.

The short

-
term a

nd long
-term retention times are user configurable. This allows the “Video Archive” to automatically thin video data if the feature is enabled.

NexView Software - Video Access and Viewing
Playback of video within NexView enables the user’s ability to playback video images from multiple cameras on the vehicle in a synchronous fashion. All video, audio, and metadata is automatically linked and time -stamped to ensure that all camera angles and metadata are displayed in a unif orm and consistent fashion. Playback functionality includes audio channel isolation, varying playback speeds (1/4x to 8x), and image manipulation (contrast, hue, saturation). User

-
configurable window resizing, and dual -monitor support ensure that users can efficiently and effectively work with the clip they have selected.

NexView Software - Video Export
NexView provides the TTS user with the ability to export video in three different formats:
o NexView (Native) Format: Video clips exported in this format are only readable by another NexView video user via NexView software.
o 3rd Party (Wrap) Format: Video clips exported as “wraps” are usable by any 3rd party user that does not have the NexView software. These exports remain in a secure format but are combined with the video viewer software in a single executable (.exe) file. In this way, a 3rd party user can simply receive the .exe file, load it onto their workstation/laptop, double click on the .exe file and have full access to view the video, audio and associated metadata stored on that clip. For security purposes, the

NexView

software also allows a
146
Proposal Submittal (continued):

Vendor Name: TSI Video
55 | Page

user to include a password with the “Wrap” format exports – thereby ensuring that the clip is not used by unauthorized users.
o AVI format: For those users desiring a standard non-secure output format type viewable through other video viewing software, the NexView

software allows for .AVI format export.

NexView Software - Video Export Watermark and Encryption

TSI understands the need to ensure the integrity of video files within public transit. As such, we have implemented the following process to ensure video data files remain safe and unaltered.

The image data is hashed using a proprietary algorithm that uses

a value (called “salt” in
cryptography) to calculate a checksum for the given image data. The checksum is not a cryptographic checksum, but more an algorithm to reliably detect manipulation on the data. If the checksum fails against the data, an error message is presented over the video data. As shown in the image below, if any of the individual video streams have been altered, there is a “Digital Signature Invalid!” notification that appears.

Nexus Review Stations
TSI has included (1) Nexus Video Review Station (Docking Station) for this project. The TSI Review Station is a networkable device that can be connected to the

TTS
wide area network for general
use across the network, or directly to a single workstation. The Review Station serves as the means of reviewing video/audio/metadata off the removable hard drive that has been taken off the bus for review back at the TTS offices. Any TTS workstation on the network loaded with NexView software can review data on the Review Station provided the user has the correct privileges and network access to the Review Station.

In addition to our system being designed specifically for the transit industry, TSI’s video solution has also been developed on an “Open Architecture” platform. This “Open

–
Architecture”.

Clever Devices
At TSI this type of interface/development has become quite commonplace. TSI has successful interfaces for

many of the industry’s leading CAD/AVL providers, in fact we would be shocked if any of our competitors have as many

fully functional

interfaces developed and deployed with
the leading ITS solution providers. TSI currently has functional interfaces to INiT, Avail Technologies, Orbital, Clever

-
Devices and Equans for the sharing of meta

-
data such as

o Driver ID
o Work/Run ID
o Route ID
o Route Name
o Direction I/O
o Last Stop
o Early/Late

The TSI integration with Clever Devices is completed and in the testing phase and will be ready for implementation by kick-off.

NEXVIEW USER MANAGEMENT
The NexView software allows administrators to create user groups with specific software permissions set to each group. These permissions will limit all users in the group to certain features of the software and these rules can be completely customized for each group. NexView groups can also be linked to Window’s Active Directory groups.

This allows users to login to NexView using their existing Windows login.

NEXVIEW VIDEO EXPORT FORMATS
NexView (Native) Format: Video clips exported in this format are only readable by another NexView video user via NexView software.

Executable (Wrap) Format: Video clips exported as “wraps” are usable by any 3rd party user that does not have the NexView software. These exports remain in a secure format but are combined with the video viewer software in a single executable (.exe) file. In this way, a 3rd party user can simply receive the .exe file, load it onto their workstation/laptop, double click on the .exe file and have full access to view the video, audio and associated metadata stored on that clip. For security purposes, the NexView software also allows a user to include a password with the “Wrap” format exports – thereby ensuring that the clip is not used by unauthorized users.
.AVI format: For those users desiring a standard non-secure output format type viewable through other video viewing software, the NexView software allows for .AVI format export.

NexView provides users with the ability to export video in three different formats:

NEXVIEW WIRELESS CAPABILITIES
Automatic wireless downloading (from the vehicle to the fixed end) of video, audio and discrete event data associated with a tagged event.

Ability to schedule a request for data (Video Query) to be downloaded based on bus identification and a date/time range.

Ability to schedule a geographic video query for data on any vehicle that has traveled through a user specified geographic area and time range.

Ability to view either live or recorded video real-time from buses with wireless connectivity wherever WiFi and/or cellular service is available.

Automatic download of system “Healthcheck” data (e.g., camera outages, drive errors, etc.) from the bus to the fixed end over WiFi/Cellular connections.

Automatic download of new firmware and/or configuration files over wireless when desired. Firmware and configuration wireless download can be performed on a single vehicle, group of vehicles, or the entire fleet – all thru the NexView software interface.

In addition to all of the above functionality, TSI’s NexView software contains a complete set of scalable fleet-wide diagnostic, download/upload, and management capabilities. Featuring an easy-to-use user interface, NexView enables centralized management of wireless video download as well as system health status.

NexView provides all wireless related Nexus-HVR/NVR management, control, and query functions. NexView, when properly integrated with the agency's WiFi/Cellular infrastructure, provides users with the following functionality:
171
Query Name and Description
Information on Number of Cameras and Discrete Signals Included in the Query NexView User that Created the Query
Device (Bus #)
Query Status and % Complete
Query Start Date/Time, End Date/Time, and Duration
Video Download Size
Video Download Start Date
NexView’s video query capability allows any authorized user to setup one or more queries for an automated download of selected data the next time the bus of interest enters the wireless coverage area.

These video queries allow users to retrieve video downloads without needing to directly interact with the device onboard the vehicle. The figure below shows a sample “Job Download” screen that includes sample query downloads that have been performed. Information included for each query download includes:

1.0 Background And Document Overview
TSI (Transit Solutions, LLC) is under contract with OmniTrans for the design, development, implementation, installation, and warranty of the On-Board Video Surveillance System (OBVSS). The requirements of the project include the development and submittal of a System Design Specification (SDS), and integrated Material Selection Document (MSD) for review and approval by OmniTrans prior to the start of installation activities. This document includes an overview of the OBVSS System, as well as a detailed description of all hardware and software components to be supplied and installed as part of the project. Additionally, it contains information and diagrams associated with the following three primary subsystems as outlined in the OmniTrans OBVSS RFP and SSI documents:

1. On-Board Subsystem: Includes all hardware and software associated with the in-vehicle components being supplied and installed by TSI for the OBVSS system.

2. Central Subsystem: Includes all hardware and software associated with the back-office components being supplied by TSI for the OBVSS system.

The On-Board Subsystem installation will have three different configurations that will vary based on bus model. The three different configurations will be addressed throughout this document, and they are as follows:

1. Cameras and DVR Replacement: These vehicles will have the DVR, road view, and front door view cameras replaced.

2. IP Camera and IR Camera Replacement: These vehicles will have the road view and front door view cameras replaced.

3. IP Camera Replacement: These vehicles will have the road view camera replaced.

Once approved by OmniTrans, this “System Design Specification (SDS) and Material Selection Document (MSD)” will be used as a guideline for the implementation work to be performed during the project. TSI understands that any modifications to the design and material specifications in this document must first be discussed and approved by OmniTrans. Any changes that occur in the design throughout the project will be reflected in this document – and upon completion of installation activities an updated “As Built” version of the SDS and MSD document will be created and submitted to OmniTrans per the contract.

This document includes references to product specification sheets that are contained in Appendix A.

TSI Will be removing the existing Verint mDVR and hard
drive and replacing it with the TSI Mobile Hybrid Video Recorder (Nexus-HVR) and hard drive. The TSI Nexus-
HVR will be powered from the 24V bus battery supply with a Battery Backup unit offering backup battery power in case the main bus battery power is cut during a critical video recording time such as a bus accident.

The Nexus-HVR unit will house a 4 TB removable hard drive. The Nexus-HVR offers a full suite of interfaces that provide the necessary interconnectivity to the other mobile equipment shown in the diagrams above. The following is a description of this equipment and how it interfaces to the Nexus-HVR.

• Cameras: Video input to the DVR will be provided by eight (8) or (12) different cameras that are powered from the 12V “power out” on the Nexus-HVR. Most of the
existing interior cameras on the vehicles are the TSI Color Day/Night Dome Camera (shown at right). TSI will be
replacing the “Driver/Farebox” View Day/Night Dome
Camera with an Infrared (IR) Dome Camera on all vehicles that do not already have this IR Camera.

The “Front” camera position is currently filled by the TSI Infrared (IR) Dome Camera (shown at left). As mentioned above, the “Driver/Farebox” View will be changed to an IR Camera on all vehicles that do not already have this type of camera.

The TSI Color Day/Night Dome Camera provides a quality picture in both day and night operations down to a 0.1 Lux level of light. The TSI Infrared (IR) Dome Camera offers the added feature of a 21 LED array of IR illuminators built into the camera. These LEDs automatically activate when the light level becomes too low for normal color recording, and allow recording down to a 0.0 Lux level – or total darkness.

TSI Will be replacing the existing TSI Color Day/Night Dome “Road View” Camera with the TSI Slim Line Wedge IP Camera. This camera allows for an image resolution up to 1920x1080. This camera will be installed in conjunction with the TSI “Universal IP Camera Mount”.

The TSI Side View Camera (shown at right) is the existing camera for the external curb side and external street side camera positions. These cameras will be reused with the TSI Nexus-HVR.

9 TRANSIT SOLUTIONS • 114 W GRANDVIEW AVE • ZELIENOPLE, PA 16063 • Microphone: There are two existing TSI Microphones per bus, one near the bus operator/farebox area, and a second near the rear door. These microphones will be reused with the TSI Nexus-HVR.

• G-Force Sensor: The Existing Verint G-Force sensor
will be removed from all vehicles. The Nexus-HVR has
a built-in accelerometer that will render the existing
unit unnecessary.

• GPS Receiver: TSI will be reusing the TSI (Garmin) GPS Receiver/Antenna (pictured at right) combination unit for this project. This high quality 12 channel GPS receiver comes in a single low profile watertight receiver/antenna combination that is mounted on the top of the bus. This GPS receiver will provide latitude/longitude and speed to the on-board subsystem.

• Visual Status Indicator: TSI will be reusing the TSI 4 Color Status LED module (shown at right) as the Onboard
System Visual Status Indicator on this project. The 4 Color status LED box is mounted near the driver’s area for easy viewing.

• Wireless Access Point (AP): TSI will be reusing two different TSI Mobile Wireless Access Points for the on-board wireless portion of this project. The TSI Mobile Wireless Access Point product supports
802.11b/g/a standards. This mobile WAP is unique to others on the market in that it is able to function in a dual-mode state whereby it serves as a “client” to the yard based wireless subsystem for event and status download functionality, but also is able to function as a true Access Point (AP) or “server” for the desired proximity viewing by OmniTrans Supervisors as outlined in the RFP. This AP on the bus is currently configured to run in the 2.4GHz “802.11g” mode.

This AP will be reconfigured to run in the 5.0 GHz “802.11a” mode as part of this project. These access points will be reused on older vehicles that were installed during an earlier project.

The TSI 802.11n Wireless Access Point will be reused on newer vehicles on which it was factory installed and on older vehicles that have had access points replaced through the TSI RMA process. This mobile WAP works with the same software as the earlier TSI 802.11b/g/a version, it also has the added feature of supporting wireless “802.11n” networks. This AP will also be reconfigured to run in the

5.0 GHz “802.11a” mode as part of this project

o Integration with Existing TSI Event Button: This button is installed to trigger a video event on the DVR.
o Integration with Existing Silent Alarm: TSI will interface to the existing Trapeze Emergency Alarm (EA) button/switch.

• TSI will reuse all existing discrete inputs that are currently in use on the existing Verint mDVRs. The discrete inputs will vary depending on bus year, but will include some combination of the following:
o Brakes
o Turn Signals (Left and Right)
o Parking Brake
o Front Door (Open or Closed)
o Rear Door (Open or Closed)
o Low Beams
o Seatbelt
o Door Interlock

Details of the hardware and software being proposed for the Vehicle side of the OBVSS system are covered in the remaining sections as well as Appendix A of this document.

Figure 2-5 below is an overview diagram of the Central and Wireless Subsystem architecture for the OBVSS project. TSI will provide rack mounted servers and disk space sufficient for storage of the video, audio and metadata as outlined in the RFP.

TSI will utilize the existing integrated 802.11 Wireless LAN subsystem at both the East Valley and West Valley facilities for the purpose of downloading data from the buses in the following circumstances:
• Automatic download of event video (G-Force, Event Button, Emergency Alarm)
• Automatic download of user scheduled video
• Automatic download of onboard equipment system status information (camera outages, drive errors, etc.)
• Viewing of live/recorded onboard video data from a properly equipped transit supervisor or police equipped vehicle.

2. Network - Interfaces
TSI Will configure the Nexus-HVR on each vehicle to use the same IP address that had previously been used by the Verint mDVR. We will be using class B IP addresses with the first octet being 172 and the second octet being 30.

Two IP addresses will be required for each bus, one for the DVR and one for the AP. The last two octets for the DVR will be based off of the four (4) digit bus number based on the following mapping scheme:
• The third octet will be based on the first two digits of the bus number with a leading 0 tacked on the front.
• The fourth octet will be based on the last two digits of the bus number with a leading 0 tacked on the front.

An example IP address of the DVR for bus 0317 is as follows: 172.30.3.17 In a similar fashion, the access point (AP) IP address will be based on the bus number, but will have a leading 1 as the first digit in the third octet.

An example IP address of the AP for bus 0317 is as follows: 172.30.103.17

8.0 Central Subsystem Detailed Design
This section contains a detailed description of the Central Subsystem components to be implemented by TSI for the OBVSS Project. TSI will install two Dell PowerEdge R530 video servers (one for East Valley and one for West Valley) with a Dell PowerVault MD3420 Storage Array appropriately configured to provide OmniTrans with the desired amount of storage necessary at each location. To do so, the East Valley Dell PowerVault MD3420 will be configured with a total of 28 TB of data storage, while the West Valley will be configured with a total of 22 TB of storage. Each server and storage will support the downloaded data for the buses in the respective yard (East Valley or West Valley) for Event and User Query data that is downloaded over the Wireless Subsystem. To support this function, each server will be configured with its own TSI NexView Server implementation which will handle the automatic wireless download of Event and User Queried data for only the buses in that particular yard. Buses moved from one yard to the other will require an update of the underlying NexView vehicle database as well as a change to the configuration on that particular bus.

The OBVSS will be supported by servers and SAN storage. The hardware that will support the OmniTrans - OBVSS project will reside at two locations the West Valley Yard and the East Valley Yard. The East Valley Yard will house a Dell R530 server and an MD3420 iSCSI SAN storage array with 28TB of storage. The West Valley Yard will house a Dell R710 server and an MD3420 iSCSI SAN storage array with 22TB of Storage. By using the iSCSI SAN storage we will be adding greater flexibility to the solution, the SAN will be able to support up to 15 servers and can expand to 45 disks which would bring the storage capacity to a potential 90TB.

The exact equipment detail will be as follows:

All Dell PowerEdge R530 and Dell PowerVault MD3420 equipment will be rack mounted. OmniTrans will be providing the necessary rack space within the East and West Valley Yards.

9.0 Wireless Infrastructure Overview
The current wireless infrastructure at both OmniTrans’ East Valley and West Valley locations is owned and managed by OmniTrans. Based on the RFP Scope of Work, OmniTrans will continue to maintain and manage the wireless infrastructure.

For this project OmniTrans has specifically tasked TSI to perform a site survey to determine wireless coverage. The results of this survey were submitted to OmniTrans separately, but it was deemed that coverage was generally lacking the desired levels of signal strength given the larger amount of data that will be transferred. As such OmniTrans will be purchasing 14 new yard Access Points for the OBVSS project.

The Nexus-HVR system records video from each camera and audio from the microphones by the driver and rear door continuously during bus operations.

There is also a Garmin GPS module mounted on the roof of each bus that will record the buses location. Each system also contains a wireless access point that is connected to the Nexus-HVR via a CAT5 cable. This access point gives the Nexus-HVR the ability to perform wireless downloads and other communications with the server. When the emergency/panic button, and or the radio emergency button is actuated, the system increases the number of frames per second in order to improve picture quality as well as flagging the video for automatic wireless download.

The system continues to record video and audio for 15 minutes after the bus is turned off and will also be able to continue with wireless downloads during this time.

All components of the OBVSS system are hardwired together to the mobile digital video/audio recorder (TSI Nexus-HVR). This recorder works in conjunction with the wireless access point to download video and audio from daily operations to an OmniTrans server when a bus arrives at an OmniTrans Yard.

In the event of major emergencies, OmniTrans supervisors may remove the DVR hard drive to ensure preservation of the original recording. Video from the hard drive can then be viewed on one of the Nexus-HVR review stations that has been provided to OmniTrans.

The OBVSS operates on the 24-volt power supply from the bus battery. It will also utilize a 24-volt ignition or “switched” voltage that will turn the Nexus-HVR on when active.

1.3 SECURITY POLICY AND PASSWORDS

In servicing and maintaining the security camera system, you will be working with live video when verifying camera and other systems functions.

The recorded video and audio information is confidential to OmniTrans.

Accordingly, you are expected to ensure the preservation of the OBVSS recordings. You will not be able to view recorded data from on the street bus operations.

Removal of the Nexus-HVR hard drive may only be performed in accordance to OmniTrans policy. Please ask your direct supervisor for direction.

To access the NexView software (which is required to service a DVR), a user name and password are required. User names and passwords will be set up on an individual user basis. If you do not have a username and password you should contact the OmniTrans IT department to have one created.

NexView software permissions will be based on a user group basis. For example, OmniTrans maintenance staff will not normally be able to view recorded videos from bus operations.

1.5 SYSTEM DRAWINGS

Where appropriate, this manual will include systems drawings, schematics and pictures to help you service and repair the system. Overall system interconnection diagrams can be found in Appendix A.

1.6 TYPICAL SERVICE NEEDS

The Onboard Video Surveillance System is designed to operate with little maintenance. However, several things can happen where service or repair of the system is needed. Examples of such situations include:

▪ Replacing a plastic protective camera dome where the viewing window has been scratched, painted over or defaced.

▪ Replacing the rechargeable back up battery located on the top shelf of the cabinet behind the driver.

▪ Replacing systems components that are damaged or malfunctioning such as a Nexus-HVR, camera, microphone, emergency (event) button, LCD monitor, GPS receiver, or access point.

▪ Realigning the viewing angle of a camera.

▪ Repairing a defective camera.

▪ Replacing fuses in the system.

▪ Repairing part of the wiring harness for the system that has been damaged.

Each component of the OBVSS has a unique serial number which is assigned to a specific bus. If you change a component of the system, please record the serial number of the new component on your work order.

You will need to leave the bus power system on in order to diagnose problems with the OBVSS. (e.g. What do the DVR lights show?)

Once you have diagnosed the issue and before starting repair work on the bus OBVSS, you should turn off the power as follows:

1. Turn off the bus power using the switch located by the driver.

2. Disable the bus battery using the cut-off switch at the outside rear right of the bus.

3. Disconnect the overhead wires for electric buses.

By disconnecting the power, you are making it safer for you to work on the system as well as preventing potential damage to the system. 246

8. CAMERAS - GENERAL

8.1 DESCRIPTION

Cameras views are adjustable for both direction and elevation. There are adjustment screws on each side of the lens that enable the camera to be adjusted up or down. The two screws (Phillips #1) should be tightened once the camera elevation is set.

For Day/Night Cameras the camera head is set on a turntable that allows side to side/directional movement. The turntable is locked by a single screw (Phillips #2) that frequently sits in front of the lens. This screw should be tightened once the camera direction is chosen. For IR cameras, the camera lens is on a twisting mount that allows you to turn the view in any direction without adjusting any screws. For the TSI IP Cameras you must loosen the phillips screws to either side of the camera lens, this will allow you to rotate the lens ball in any direction.

The entire camera/lens unit is mounted on a base which in turn is fastened to the ceiling or front panel of the bus.

The camera base plate fastened to the bus is held by 4 machine screws (10 x 24).

A Day/Night camera unit is mounted on the base with 2 screws. There is a small aluminum spacer bar between the base and the camera unit.

The cameras are enclosed in a plastic dome which provides a protective covering for the lens from tampering and dust. The Day/Night cameras have viewing windows inside of the plastic dome, whereas the IR cameras do not. These windows must align with the camera lens in order to prevent any blockage of the picture. The plastic domes are held by a cast aluminum ring which screws into the camera base. In turn, this retaining ring has two 4 mm set screws to lock the ring in position.

8.2 FUNCTION

The cameras record continuous video during bus operations at a set number of frames per second. By pushing the emergency/panic button, the driver can increase the number of frames recorded per second in order to improve the quality of the video.

Feed from each camera goes to the DVR and can be viewed individually or simultaneously using a portable PC with the NexView software.

In some cases, the hard drive that stores the video recording may be removed for storage in order to deal with major incidents and emergencies. 264

8.6 SERVICE REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENT GUIDELINES

Typical camera servicing needs and repair guidelines are presented below.

8.6.1 Replacing the plastic protective dome over the camera

To service a protective plastic dome lens cover, please proceed as follows:

▪ Completely remove the two set screws on the metal frame holding the plastic dome. The screws are located opposite each other and require a 2mm socket bit.
▪ Rotate the metal frame counter clockwise as you face the plastic lens cover (i.e. like unscrewing a regular nut from a bolt).
▪ Use a strap wrench (like those used to remove large oil filters on vehicles) where the set screws have damaged the threads on the camera housing.

The diameter of the housing is 4-5/8”.
▪ Replace the plastic dome. There are two types of plastic camera domes. The domes for the IR cameras are clear so that the infrared lights will allow pictures at night. The Day/Night cameras have a darkened dome with a camera viewing window.
▪ Re-mount the metal retaining ring.
▪ Centre the dome viewing window. The viewing window must be lined up and centred over the camera lens so that the camera viewing angle is not restricted.
▪ Screw in the two 4 mm set screws that hold the retaining ring in place and prevent rotation of the plastic dome covering the camera lens.

8.6.2 Adjusting a camera view/picture

The location and viewing angle of each camera has been carefully chosen by OmniTrans to maximize the effectiveness and coverage of the OBVSS. The following guidelines describe how to position each camera on a bus. Pictures of camera views are provided in Appendix G by camera. The need for these directions can arise from the following factors:

- A bus crash that jolts a camera angle out of alignment - Replacement of a non-functioning camera
- Damage or vandalism of a camera
- A directive to improve a camera angle based on a security incident.

For precise setting of the cameras, it is best to use a PC with the NexView software which is plugged into the DVR so you can view the picture from each camera live on screen.

Camera angles are the same for each bus type.

266
OBVSS Operation & Service Manual
OmniTrans - Onboard Video Surveillance System

27 TRANSIT SOLUTIONS • 114 W GRANDVIEW AVE • ZELIENOPLE, PA 16063 There are two camera adjustments. On each side of the camera lens mount, there are small #1 Phillips head screws. These should be loosened in order to change the elevation of the lens (i.e. aiming up or aiming down).

When tightening these screws, once the elevation is set, you have to be careful about changing the elevation as you tighten the holding screws (i.e. the camera can swivel as you tighten the screw). Accordingly, the best practice is to hold the lens frame as you tighten each side screw in order to maintain the correct camera elevation angle.

8.6.3 Checking a non-functioning camera

A camera may not function for several reasons:

▪ The plastic camera housing has been turned so the view window is not aligned with the camera (i.e. the view window in the plastic dome is not in front of the lens).
▪ A wire connection is unplugged.
▪ The camera does not have a power supply.
▪ The circuit board on the camera body has failed.
▪ There is a short circuit in the camera wiring.

Some camera problems are fixable. Others require replacement of the camera.

To check and locate the problem, you should work as follows:

▪ Check the wire connection at the DVR for that specific camera. Camera leads are identified on the cables plugged into the back of the DVR. ▪ Check the camera housing to ensure that the viewing window is aligned with the camera lens. To adjust the dome lens, remove the 4 mm set screws, back off/loosen the dome base/housing, shift/rotate the dome, tighten the base ring and tighten the set screws.
▪ Check the wires to the camera after removing the camera housing from the camera base (i.e. no loose or hanging wires).
▪ Disconnect the camera from the harness and check for 12V power at the camera Molex connector.
▪ Check the camera wire connections with the wiring harness and ensure a good tight connection.
▪ Check the Nexus-HVR live view again to see if the camera is working.

28 TRANSIT SOLUTIONS • 114 W GRANDVIEW AVE • ZELIENOPLE, PA 16063

8.6.4 Replacing an inoperable camera

To replace a non-functioning camera, please proceed as follows:

▪ Remove the set screws in the metal ring holding the protective plastic dome using a 2mm hex wrench.
▪ Remove the ring holding the dome by unscrewing it counter clockwise (like unscrewing a nut from a bolt). A strap wrench may be needed if the set screws have damaged the threads of the retaining ring.
▪ Undo the 10 x 24 Phillips head screws that hold the camera to the base. ▪ Carefully pull the camera down and catch the aluminum bar (about ¾” wide and 3” long) that is used as a spacer in the camera base. ▪ Pull the camera wires back until the connection is exposed. ▪ Unplug the old camera
▪ Plug in the new camera.
▪ Push the wires back into the ceiling of the bus.
▪ Remount the camera using the aluminum spacer bar.
▪ Align the lens.
▪ Check the camera alignment with NexView on a PC connected to the DVR. ▪ Remount the plastic dome covering the lens.
▪ Use a strap wrench if needed to screw on the dome retaining ring. Be sure the ring is aligned with the threads in the base. It may take a few tries to get this alignment correct before screwing in the dome retaining ring. ▪ Ensure the viewing window in the plastic dome is aligned with the camera lens.
▪ Tighten the dome retaining ring so the plastic dome cannot be rotated. ▪ Replace the set screws using a 2 mm hex wrench.

8.6.5 Tracing Electrical Shorts

To trace and locate a short in the OBVSS, you should proceed as follows;

▪ When there is a short in the system, you will normally see multiple devices (cameras, microphones, access point) not operating properly at the same time.
▪ Identify, through the process of elimination, which device is causing the short. Do this by disconnecting devices from the power distribution pigtail one at a time. When you disconnect the device with a short, you should see your other camera views come back online.
▪ Once you have identified the device with the short, check the power distribution harness for loose wires or connections. If it looks ok, try swapping out the device, in case the short was in the device itself.

8.6.6 Replacing a Rivet Nut

The following system components are mounted using rivet nuts (rivet nuts are also called nutserts):

- Battery box
- All cameras
- microphone

The rivet nuts are for 10 x 24 machine screws and for gripping .01 to .08 thick material. The barrel of the rivet nut is .25 inches and the rim is just over .40 inches. Using a rivet setting tool, the rivet nut is compressed and forms around the inside of the material that it is used on.

Sometimes, rivet nuts come loose and need to be replaced.

Replacing a rivet nut can be difficult, particularly if there is a machine screw that is lodged in the nut and causes it to spin.

To replace a rivet nut, proceed as follows:

▪ Remove the systems component (camera etc…).
▪ Immobilize the faulty rivet nut using a small pair of pliers, small Vice Grip pliers or a screw driver. (e.g. Where the screw drives the rivet nut when you are trying to remove the screw, you may need to stick a screw driver under the rim of the rivet nut to keep it from turning.) ▪ Remove the machine screw.
▪ Drill out the rivet nut using a ¼” drill while holding the defective rivet nut from turning (e.g. with Vice Grips). The drill cuts off the rim/flange on the rivet nut and the remaining cylinder falls away.
▪ Mount a rivet nut on the rivet nut tool.
▪ Insert the new rivet nut in the old hole.
▪ Squeeze the rivet nut tool firmly to “set” the rivet nut so it sits tight and is flush with the surface and no longer rotates when filled with a 10 x 24 machine screw.
▪ Use a 10 x 24 machine screw to remount the system component.

Machine screws can vary slightly in size and are sometimes hard to drive into rivet nuts. If there is significant resistance, you run the risk of turning out/loosening the newly placed rivet nut. When a 10 x 24 machine screw is hard to drive, please try another in case the thread size “fits” a little better. Also, be careful to ensure you are using a proper 10 x 24 machine screw. The bolts holding the panel over the driver’s head look almost identical to 10 x 24 machine screws but they have a finer thread count (i.e.10 x 32 machine screw).
▪ Be careful that machine screws are not binding on the edge of the holes in the systems component (e.g. battery box). In such cases, you may need to loosen the other machine screws so that you can reposition the system component to avoid any binding on the mounting screws.

If we set the local area connection IP address to 192.168.168.5 and your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 it puts it in the same network as the AP and we can connect to the AP to configure it. If the access point you have did not have an IP address of 192.168.168.1, you must enter an IP that will put it into the same network as the IP address you determined in Step 1.

Step Three: Connect to the Access Point
Open your web browser. In Step One, we determined the IP address of the AP. Type it into the address bar of Internet Explorer. Since we determined 192.168.168.1 as our AP, we typed it into the bar. If the IP address you determined was different, enter that instead.

Once the Config file has been pushed, you will have to reboot the unit. It will automatically prompt you for this. Once the unit is rebooted with the new config file, you will also have to make sure your laptop is within that network. To do so, open Uconfig again, like Step One above and determine the AP IP address. Once you have determined the IP Address of the AP, you must again assign your laptop an IP address within the same network as the AP. Repeat Step Two using the new IP Address. Your laptop IP address will be what you normally set your laptop to for programming DVRs. Make sure your subnet mask matches that of the DVRs as well. It should be 255.255.0.0.

TSIP IP Camera Configuration Guide

This guide provides the proper steps for configuring a TSIP Camera. With this walkthrough, you will be able to verify that the camera is properly installed, connect to the IP camera, update firmware on the camera, push proper configuration files to the camera, and verify connectivity to the NexView software. For this walkthrough, the user will need IPScan Utility software, a web browser, IP camera configuration file, NexView software, and knowledge of proper IP address/naming scheme. Refer to project documentation for needed resources or contact TSI for additional help.

1. Assure the IP camera is properly installed and receiving power. Check the Nexus- HVR LAN port to see if the Orange and Green status LED’s on the camera connector are showing activity. These are located just below the Ethernet port that the camera is plugged into.

2. Once the camera has been verified for proper installation you will need to connect a computer to the camera by plugging an ethernet cable into the camera pigtail.

3. Once connected, open the IPScan Utility software. This can be used to find the IP address of an IP Camera, upgrade firmware of a camera, or change its assigned IP Address.

4. With the IPScan Utility opened, click the “Scan” button to show all connected IP cameras with their associated IP Camera and MAC Address

5. Once you’ve obtained the IP address associated with the IP camera launch your web browser to connect to the IP Camera.

Vehicle Acceptance Test (VAT): A Vehicle Acceptance Test (VAT) will be performed for every vehicle immediately upon completing installation of that vehicle’s equipment. The VAT contains sufficient testing to ensure that all components onboard the vehicle are functioning, while at the same time accommodating the limited time availability between installation completion and release of buses back to on -road use. As shown in Figure 3 -1, VAT must be successfully accomplished prior to release of a particular set of vehicles into the next step of testing. For example, VAT must successfully be completed for the PoP vehicles prior to commencing PoP Test on those vehicles.

Proof of Performance (PoP) Test: Proof of Performance (PoP) testing will commence upon the successful installation of the central system, wireless communications system, and one representative bus of each type; as well as completion of a successful VAT on those buses. The PoP Test will include component, subsystem and sy stem level testing for these buses. Any test failures will be documented and retested until the failure has been remedied. OmniTrans will grant PoP Acceptance upon the successful completion of all PoP tests, at which time testing will proceed to the Hot Run Test (HRT) phase.

Hot Run Test (HRT): Hot Run Testing (HRT) will be performed on a total of thirty-four (34) vehicles – including the vehicles used for the PoP test. HRT will begin upon the completion of the following two tasks:

1. Successful completion of PoP Test

2. Successful installation and VAT test for an additional set of vehicles to total (34) vehicles.

The HRT will be performed over a two week period with all thirty-four vehicles being put into an operating (i.e., in -service) environment during that period. OmniTrans will monitor the performance of the system, and TSI will perform all necessary system adjustments, corrections and modifications to address any non-compliance issues identified by OmniTrans during the test.

Upon completion of corrections and successful HRT, OmniTrans will grant Conditional Acceptance – thereby permitting TSI to proceed with the installation and VAT testing of the remaining vehicles.

Operability Period Test (OPT): Operability Period Test (OPT) will begin upon the completion of the following:

1. Successful completion of HRT and granting of Conditional Acceptance

2. Successful installation and VAT on the remaining vehicles.

OPT is a 30 day test performed under full operational conditions. The purpose of OPT is to measure performance under full load conditions and ensure that the project performance requirements are met. During OPT, OmniTrans will monitor system performance and document any system deficiencies / non-compliance that is found to exist. The OPT will be completed when the full 30 day period of test is carried out without any “Major Issues” as defined later in this document. Upon successful completion of OPT, resolution of all Minor Issues (as defined later in 322

Requirement
Comply/
Comply Modify
Non-
Comply Notes:
1 The cameras must cover every section of the vehicle’s interior and the exterior.

There should be no blind spot inside the bus, except the driver’s seating area. C 2 The on-board Network Video Recorder (NVR) system must be capable of supporting a minimum of 11 cameras per vehicle, with the capability of expanding to 16 channels, if needed.

C
All vehicles (Bus's and Trolley's) have been proposed with a 8-Port NEXUS-NVR + Additional 8 Port Switch, for a total of 16 possible channels.
3 Every bus must have six (6) interior and five (5) exterior cameras. CM TSI has proposed five (5) total interior cameras, two (2) of which are 360-degree cameras, in each vehicle as part of its base proposal.

These five (5) interior cameras will provide a total of eleven (11) individual views within NexView. (TSI's 360-degree cameras are displayed as 4 individually aimable camera views).

One of the 360-degree cameras is placed by the rear door with one ROI (Region of Interest) focused at the rear boarding door. Given TSI's exeperience with the placement of this camera, we believe this view will provide ample coverage of the rear boarding door and therefor have not added a seperate stand-alone rear door camera.

TSI has proposed eight (8) total cameras for all Trolleys per the layout provided in the Q&A document.
4 1. Interior cameras C
5 a) 1 camera must be installed by the windshield focusing on the bike racks and the front of the bus. C
6 b) 1 camera must be installed above the driver seat focusing the front entrance door. C
7 c) 1 camera must be installed in the center of the bus across the back door focusing at the back entrance door. C
8 d) 1 camera must be installed by the front door focusing at the front passenger area (ADA section). C
9 e) 1 camera must be installed in the center of the bus focusing on the rear passenger seats area of the bus. C
10 f) 1 camera must be installed in the center of the bus focusing from the middle of the bus to the front of the bus to cover the entire length of the bus. This could be a 360-degree / fisheye camera (optional).

C TSI has provided two (2) 360-degree cameras in each vehicle as part of its base proposal.
11 2. Exterior cameras C
12 a) 1 camera must be installed above drive window on the streetside focusing towards the rear of the bus. C
Torrance Compliance Matrix - On-Board Video Security System (OBVSS) requirements 363
13 b) 1 camera must be installed above front entrance door on the curbside focusing towards the rear of the bus. C
14 c) 1 camera must be installed on the streetside rear of the bus focusing towards the front of the bus. C
15 d) 1 camera must be installed on the curbside rear of the bus focusing towards the front of the bus. C
16 e) 1 camera must be installed on the rear of the bus focusing on the rear bumper and the vehicles behind the bus. C
17 The NVR system must support all IP-based cameras with TCP/IP connectivity. C 18 Each camera must be PoE powered. C
19 Each camera must record feed in Full-HD (FHD) resolution of 1920x1080 pixels with frame rate of 60 30fps (changed from 60 in Q&A), for 30 days. C 20 In addition, each camera must record a second stream feed in High Definition (HD) at 720p resolution of 1280x720 with the frame rate of 24 15fps (changed from 24 in Q&A), for 90 to 180 days.

CM
TSI has proposed its TSIP-FHD-27/28 (1080p) model cameras as part of its base proposal. TSI's FHD camera models are limited to a resolution of 720x480 on the second stream. However, TSI does offer UHD (4K) cameras that offer 720p on their secondary streams. TSI has provided option pricing for the UHD model in our pricing packet.

TSI does not believe that is possible, even with the 16TB SSD that we have proposed, to capture 30-days of video with the primary stream requirements PLUS 90-days of video with the secondary strem requirements. This is not a limitation of TSI's system, but a limitation of the amount of data able to be stored on a 16TB drive (which is currently the maximum capacity achievable given current SSD drive capacities in the general market).
21 The system must be capable of supporting at least two (2) Ultra HD (UHD) / 4K cameras with the resolution of 3840x2160 pixels. C TSI has provided option pricing for both interior and exterior 4K camera models.
22 The system may have capability of supporting 360 degree / Fisheye cameras (optional). C
23 Each camera must have an integrated Infra-red ring to capture video in low lighting situations. C
24 The NVR must record audio on the bus. C
364
25 The NVR must support removable / hot-swappable Solid-State drive (SSD) caddies with the minimum capacity of 4TB. C
In order to attempt to reach the retention times listed in lines 19 & 20 above, TSI has proposed a 16TB SSD in all vehicle types as part of our base proposal.

However, TSI does not believe that is possible, even with the 16TB SSD that we have proposed, to capture 30-days of video with the primary stream requirements PLUS 90-days of video with the secondary strem requirements. This is not a limitation of TSI's system, but a limitation of the amount of data able to be stored on a 16TB drive (which is currently the maximum capacity achievable given current SSD drive capacities in the general market).
26 Capability of supporting a backup storage redundancy is preferred, but not required. C 27 Each interior camera must have an integrated microphone within the camera housing to record audio from each area. C
28 The NVR must have capability to record the location of the vehicle via GPS.

C Integration with the existing MG-90 routers will provide GPS. This eliminates the need for another antenna on the roof of the vehicle. 29 The NVR must have a system clock that should run on a separate battery. C 30 The NVR must have capability to synchronize on-board system time with the City’s NTP clock. C
31 The contractor must supply a docking station for the caddies that can be connected to a computer to download a video feed. C
32 The on-board NVR system must be powered-on and recording at all times when the vehicle is powered-on and must continue to record for another 30 minutes after the vehicle is powered- off.

C
33 The on-board NVR system must have ability to connect to a laptop for remote access, or an external monitor for direct access. C
34 The OBVSS must have capability of Live-View streaming from the dispatch office and security office. C
35 The Live-View streaming should be streamed at 1920x1080 pixels resolution through ONVIF compatible streaming. Connectivity to FUSUS VMS system will be preferred. C TSI does not currently have an integration with FUSUS but is open to discussing an interface with their system. Depending on the scope & extent of development, TSI often performs its portion of integration work with new partners at no charge as part of our commitment to an "open architecture" platform.
36 The NVR system must have an integrated G-Force sensor with the ability to tag a video based on a G-Force event. C
37 The NVR system must have an integrated 3-axis accelerometer with the ability to tag a video based on a sudden acceleration event. C
38 The video player must be able to display the vehicle ID, and the location/position of the camera on the vehicle. C
365
39 The OBVSS must be shockproof and vandalism-proof. It must have a video stabilizer to be able to resist all the vibrations caused by the moving vehicle. C 40 Cameras must be secured inside a casing and must have environmental controls to protect them from moisture, heat and cold weather. C
41 The casing material used to cover the lens aperture must be scratch resistant to reduce its impact on the image quality. C
42 Cameras and NVR cannot be adjusted or disabled by a bus operator or the passengers. C
43 The camera system should have an LED indicator light on the dashboard to indicate the working status of the on-board NVR system. C
44 The system shall have capability to download requested video feed over the 802.11 wireless Access Points installed at the City Yard. C
45 The NVR system must integrate with Sierra Wireless MG-90 routers installed on the buses for all wireless communication. C
46 The contractor must supply a backend Video Management System (VMS) to request video feed over wireless network, manage system configuration, and perform health- check for system installed on each bus.

C
47 The VMS shall provide download status for each video feed requested. C 48 The contactor must also supply a Video Player software to review video feeds. It should also have capability of saving the video from the caddy. C 49 The video player software shall have the capability to burn the video feed to a DVD and must include a light version of the video player that allow users to view the video without having to install the application on their computer.

C
50 The VMS shall display a street map to show vehicle’s location at a given time. C 51 The VMS shall archive the downloaded video on a storage drive over the network. C 52 The VMS shall have capability of searching the archive files by bus operator name, bus number, or event date and time.

C Clever Devices interface is required for the ability to search by driver name.
53 When viewing the video footage, each camera should have the Bus number, system time, camera identifier and camera location on it. C
54 The VMS should have capability to integrate with Clever Devices CAD/AVL system.

The CAD/AVL system has the functionality to Tag a video remotely from the Clever CAD application.

C
TSI has already completed development for the Clever CAD interface and is now in the final testing phases with Clever. The interface will be fully functional prior to project start.
55 When a video tag is requested remotely from the CAD/AVL system, the NVR system shall save the video 10 minutes prior and 10 minutes after the tagged time. C 56 If possible, the CAD/AVL information such as operator’s name, route number, direction should be made available. C
57 The backend VMS system may be available as an On-Premises application or Software as a Service (SaaS) application. C The TSI NexView software can be installed as an On-Prem solution or a cloud based solution.
366

(b) To assure compliance with federal laws, regulations, and requirements, the Recipient must take measures to assure that other participants in its Underlying Agreements (e.g., Third Party Participants) comply with applicable federal laws, regulations, and requirements, and follow applicable federal guidance, except as FTA determines otherwise in writing.
(c) FTA may take enforcement action if the Recipient or a Third Party Participant violates an applicable federal law, regulation, or requirement, or does not follow applicable federal guidance.

(38) Third Party Participant means each participant in the Recipient’s Project, except for FTA and the Recipient, whose work under the Project is supported with FTA funding, eligible non-federal share dedicated to the Project, or is dedicated as an in-kind contribution eligible for non-federal share. A Third Party Participant may be a Subrecipient, Third Party Contractor, Third Party Subcontractor, Lessee, or Similar Participant in the Recipient’s Project (for example, a partner in a joint development venture).
(39) Third Party Subcontract means a subcontract entered into by the Third Party Contractor with a Third Party Subcontractor, or a Third Party Subcontractor with another Third Party Subcontractor at any tier, and is supported in whole or in part with the federal assistance originally derived from FTA, or non- federal share dedicated to the

12 (40) Underlying Agreement

means a specific Grant Agreement, Cooperative
Agreement, or, with respect to TIFIA

or RRIF

assistance, a specific Loan
Agreement, Line of Credit Agreement, or Loan Guarantee Agreement that incorporates the terms of this Master Agreement, in each case

including any
amendments thereto, supported with federal assistance appropriated or made available under the authorized program.
(41) Unique Entity Identifier has two meanings:
(i)

A Recipient’s or a Subrecipient’s unique entity identifier for purposes of the “System of Award Management” (SAM), which currently is the DUNS Number; but
(ii) For FTA purposes, FTA assigns a separate Recipient/Vendor ID as a “unique entity identifier,” which is a four-digit number and is displayed on the Grant Agreement and the Cooperative Agreement following the heading “Recipient ID.”
(42) Waiver has the same meaning as the definition of Approval in this section of this Master Agreement.
(b) Application of Definitions. The Recipient also agrees

that the definitions in
section 2(a) above apply throughout this Master Agreement.

Section 3. Implementation.
(a) Effective Date. The Effective Date of Recipient’s Underlying Agreement is the date when the authorized FTA official signs the Underlying Agreement. (b) Description of Each Project. The “Description of Each Project” in the “Executive Summary” of the “FTA Award” section of the Recipient’s Underlying Agreement often provides only a brief description of each Project and related activities to be undertaken by the Recipient; therefore, the Recipient agrees to perform the work described in the terms of its Underlying Agreement, including all the documents and information incorporated by reference and made part of that Underlying Agreement. (c) Prompt Implementation

. After receiving notice that the FTA official signed the Underlying Agreement, the Recipient agrees to undertake promptly each Project and related activities described in the Underlying Agreement. (d) Completion Dates. The Recipient agrees to complete each Project within the time periods specified in the Underlying Agreement and all activities must be completed by the Award’s end date, unless FTA agrees in writing to extend the end date. Unless FTA determines otherwise

in writing, interim milestone dates and other completion 387
13 dates applicable to the Award are good faith estimates and are not intended to be firm contractual requirements.

However, FTA and the Recipient agree that milestone
dates and other completion dates for Full Funding Grant Agreements, Small Starts Grant Agreements or other specific agreements in which FTA expressly states that the milestone dates or other completion dates for the Underlying Agreement are firm dates that may be enforced.
(e) The Recipient’s Capacity. To carry out its Underlying Agreement, the Recipient agrees to maintain:
(1) Sufficient legal, financial, technical, and managerial capacity, and adequate functional capacity to:
(i)

Plan, manage, and complete its responsibilities outlined in the Underlying Agreement;
(ii) Use the Project property;

(iv)

Comply with the terms and conditions of the Underlying Agreement, the Recipient’s annual Certifications and Assurances to FTA, and applicable federal laws, regulations, and requirements;

and

(v) Follow applicable federal guidance, except as the Federal Government determines otherwise in writing.
(2) Strong internal controls to assure that it is managing its Award in compliance with federal laws, regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the Underlying Agreement including, but not limited to:
(i)

Amendments or revisions to its Award Budget;
(ii) Salaries and wages of the Recipient’s and Subrecipient’s personnel; (iii) Protection of personally identifiable information and other sensitive information;

and

(iv)

Other matters that must be in compliance with federal laws, regulations, requirements, and the terms and conditions of the Underlying Agreement.
(f) U.S. DOT Administrative Requirements. The Recipient agrees to comply with the following U.S. DOT regulations (Common Rules) to the extent applicable:

(g) Application of Federal, State, and Local Laws, Regulations, Requirements, and Guidance. The Recipient agrees to comply with all applicable federal requirements and follow applicable federal guidance. All standards or limits are minimum requirements when those standards or limits are included in the Recipient’s Underlying Agreement or this Master Agreement. At the time the FTA official awards federal assistance to the Recipient in support of the Underlying Agreement, the federal requirements and guidance that apply then may be modified from time to time, and will apply to the Recipient or the accompanying Underlying Agreement, except as FTA determines otherwise in writing.
(h) The Recipient’s Responsibility to Comply with Federal Requirements. Irrespective of involvement by any other entity in the Underlying Agreement:
(1) General. The Recipient agrees to comply with all federal requirements that apply to itself and the Underlying Agreement. (2) Primary Responsibility for Compliance.
(i)

The Recipient, as the Direct Recipient of federal assistance, agrees that it is ultimately responsible for full compliance with federal requirements related to itself, its Award, the accompanying Underlying Agreement, and any Amendments thereto, even though:
(A) A Third Party Participant provides property or services to support a Project or related activities implementing the Award, the accompanying Underlying Agreement, any
Amendments thereto; or
(B)

Another entity or person is involved with the Award, the accompanying Underlying Agreement, or any Amendments
thereto.
(ii) FTA and the Recipient agree that if FTA makes an Award to a Recipient other than the Designated Recipient as defined under 49 U.S.C. § 5302, the Designated Recipient is not a party to the Award or the Underlying Agreement and is not responsible for compliance with federal requirements related to the Underlying Agreement. However, if FTA makes an Award to a Designated Recipient, then that Designated Recipient is responsible for compliance with federal requirements related to its Underlying Agreement. FTA and the Recipient further agree to the terms of the 390
16 Designated Recipient’s Split Letter, Suballocation Letter, or Government Subapportionment Letter attached in TrAMS, including the amounts allocated by the Designated Recipient to each Direct Recipient, and the commitment to comply with the associated transit improvement requirement as stated in that letter.
(iii) Apart from other oversight and reviews FTA may conduct, the Recipient agrees that FTA is expressly authorized to conduct oversight of the Recipient’s and its Subrecipients’ compliance with federal requirements for safety and security, procurement (including Buy America requirements), management, and finance.
(i)

The Recipient’s Responsibility to Extend Federal Requirements to Third Party Participants. In certain circumstances, the Recipient’s compliance with specific federal requirements depends on compliance by its Third Party Participant(s) with those federal requirements, and therefore:
(1) General. The Recipient agrees to ensure that its Third Party Participant(s) will comply with applicable federal requirements, and follow applicable federal guidance.
(2) The Recipient as a “Pass-Through” Entity. If the Recipient is providing a subaward to a Subrecipient to carry out all or part of its Award, the Recipient agrees to obtain the agreement of each Subrecipient to comply with U.S.

DOT’s administrative requirements, as set forth above.
(3) Performance of the Recipient’s Responsibilities. If a Third Party Participant is expected to fulfill any responsibilities typically performed by the Recipient, the Recipient agrees to ensure that the Third Party Participant will carry out the Recipient’s responsibilities in compliance with federal requirements, and provide enough information to each Third Party Participant so that it understands that it will be expected to follow federal guidance.
(4) Risk. As provided in 2

CFR
Part 1201, which incorporates by reference
2 CFR
Part 200, the Recipient agrees to evaluate the risk involved before awarding a subagreement to any entity.
(5) Third Party Agreements. To comply with federal requirements, the Recipient agrees to enter into a written Third Party Agreement with each Third Party Participant in its Underlying Agreement and must include all appropriate provisions stating the Third Party Participant’s respon

sibilities to assure the
Recipient’s capability to comply with applicable federal requirements and 391
17 guidance and specifying the responsibilities that the Third Party Participant will fulfill on the Recipient’s behalf.
(6) Notice to Third Party Participants. The Recipient agrees to include notice in each Third Party Agreement that:
(i)

and

(ii) Applicable changes to those federal requirements will apply to each Third Party Agreement and parties thereto at any tier.
(j)

Changed Circumstances. The Recipient agrees that changed circumstances may occur that may impact the Recipient’s ability to comply with the terms and conditions of the Underlying Agreement.
(1) Types of Changes. Certain circumstances can cause significant changes in performance of a Project or related activities or adversely affect the Recipient’s ability to carry out its Underlying Agreement, such as:

(ii) A

change in state, territorial, local, or tribal requirements ;
(iii) A change in the Recipient’s circumstances, including:
(A) Its legal, financial, technical, or managerial capacity; (B)

Its continuing control of Project property; or
(C)

Another similar situation;

and

(iv)

Any current or prospective legal matter with potentially serious consequences, including a major dispute, default, breach, or litigation, or

knowledge
that the Recipient’s principal, official, employee, agent, or a Third Party Participant, or other person has submitted a false claim under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq., or has committed a criminal or civil violation of law pertaining to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving federal assistance; suspension, debarment, or other similar administrative or enforcement action against the Recipient or any 392
18 Third Party Participant; or any matter or situation, including any other change or legal action that may adversely affect the Federal Government’s interest in a Project or related activities.
