MTA Bus MCI D4500 vehicle life extension program (Two test buses) |

Posted by Gold_12th on Sun Nov 23 12:52:03 2014 It is requested that the Board declare competitive bidding impractical or inappropriate pursuant to the All Agency ProcurementGuidelines for structural retrofit work on two 2005-2007 MCI buses to test and evaluate said buses for vehicle life extension, using the bus builder Motor Coach Industries (MCI). The scope of work requires the use of OEM components and replacement parts and an engineering validation for two 2005-2007 MCI Buses. MCI is the original bus manufacturer of the D4500 coach and is the most suitable entity to perform this work at this time. This fleet has been identified for extended revenue service beyond its original twelve years of service life. The work was advertised and there were no other responses. The purpose of this award is to structurally retrofit two MCI pilot buses based on a scope of work developed by an engineering consultant in 2007 and specific vehicle life extension recommendations made by MCI. The award will require that MCI structurally retrofit the buses and fully document and validate all work process procedures, bill of materials, labor times for all tasks, and provide the MTA Bus Company (MTA Bus) with retrofit drawings. These deliverables may be used by MTA Bus in the future to competitively solicit bids for the remaining 223 buses from the 2005-2007 fleet or to perform this work with in house resources. MCI will contractually honor the original new bus contract structural warranty of 12 years on the retrofit buses and will also warranty the retrofit structural work on the retrofit buses for a period of two years from date of acceptance by MTA Bus. The price was negotiated with MCI and deemed fair and reasonable. p 119 - http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/141117_1030_Transit.pdf |
