|
|
Posted by Gold_12th on Fri Sep 19 23:00:58 2014, in response to MTA press release on 75 New Flyer XD60 & 45 New Flyer XD40 bus orders: cost & delivery #'s, posted by Gold_12th on Fri Sep 19 17:29:45 2014. New Flyer will manufacture four low floor 60-foot articulated diesel pilot buses (instead of the two pilot buses requested in the RFP) in order to expedite testing and accelerate the delivery of the production buses. One of the pilot buses will be used for in-service testing while the other three will be used for configuration audit and qualification testing. Manufacture of these four pilot buses is scheduled to be completed in June 2015.New Flyer is not required to provide any low floor 40-foot standard diesel pilot buses as these buses will be substantially similar to a previously procured fleet of buses being delivered concurrently from the same facility and therefore no qualification testing will be required; a lead bus will be manufactured in April 2015 which will be subjected to a configuration audit. The delivery of the low floor 40-foot standard diesel production buses is scheduled to begin in June 2015 and scheduled to be completed in September 2015; 37 weeks before Nova Bus proposed to deliver its first production bus and 42 weeks before Nova Bus proposed to complete delivery of all of its 40-foot buses. The delivery of the low floor 60-foot articulated diesel production buses is scheduled to begin in October 2015 and scheduled to be completed in June 2016; 14 weeks before Nova Bus proposed to deliver its first production bus and 31 weeks before Nova Bus proposed to complete delivery of all of its 60-foot buses. The above delivery schedules are based on the assumption that Notice of Award will be issued on or before January 31, 2015. Note, these contracts are subject to review and approval of the Office of the NY State Comptroller (OSC) and award will not be made prior to this approval. |
