OBJECTIVE: To replace one high mileage paratransit vehicle to improve customer service provided to the community for the paratransit system. CONSIDERATION: The Shirley Conroy Rural Area Capital Equipment Support Grant is used to help provide rural transportation in Collier County and is made available each year through an application process administered by the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD).

Each year the Florida Vehicle Procurement Program has assisted transit agencies in purchasing transit vehicles in the most economical way possible.

Quality and inspection documents accompany the production order and floor plan as the vehicle passes through the various production departments. The rolling stock vehicle body is manufactured and assembled onto an OEM chassis at Turtle Top, New Paris Indiana. The vehicle begins assembly in the chassis prep area. In the chassis prep area the chassis is prepped and readied for the assembly process. The next manufacturing process the vehicle will move to will be the welding process where the vehicle's crossmembers, floor framing, steel walls, entrance door framing, stepwell assembly, and roof cage are assembled and mounted onto the chassis. Upon completion of the cage mounting, the body assembly is cleaned and a primer is applied to the steel cage and proper components. Next the vehicle moves through the shelling area. The vehicle's harnesses are installed; sub - floor and flooring materials are installed as well as the outer side walls. Window openings for the bus body are cut out. The fiberglass lower body panel skirts, roof, front and rear caps and transition pieces are installed onto the vehicle's shelled body. The passenger entrance door is installed as well as the wheelchair doors and windows. Upon completion in the shelling department the vehicle moves to area where the passenger compartment air conditioning installation takes place.

The Pre - Qualification process must be completed prior to first build; no buses will be built until satisfactory results are obtained. TRIPS will then issue a Temporary Waiver Contract Award for a period of no more than 24- months from issuance of the temporary waiver. Satisfactory Full Scale testing should be completed within 24- months. Detailed information on the Pre - Approval Process requirements can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 7: Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure. The Pre - approval Process (90 -days) consists of two steps: Step 1 — Manufacturer submits to TRIPS detailed cage structural drawings, a description of the method of attachment and a description of materials to be used in its construction. Upon TRIPS completing their review, any structural concerns will be discussed with the manufacturer. Step 2 — TRIPS will notify the manufacturer to send a full body cage consisting of only primary structural tubing and plate to the FDOT Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings or is not representative of normal production.

Information on the full scale approval requirements on these standards can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 8: FDOT Crash and Safety Test Approval Process (Full Scale). 2.12.1 A fully welded structural steel cage is critical in the construction of a sound paratransit bus. Structural steel framing is important as it provides an effective means of energy absorption in the cage structure and protects passengers against extensive deformation during roll -over and side impact accidents. Care should be taken to ensure the quality of the welds connecting the steel cage. Large differences in strength of the steel framing can be attributed to the poor performance of welds due to incorrect material preparation and /or incorrect heat setting used on the welding machine. To ensure the structural integrity of the frame is not compromised through the service life of the paratransit bus, measures should be taken to protect the structural steel frame from corrosion. This can be addressed through the use of galvanized steel or a sprayed on coating /paint. The use of compact cross sections, as defined by AISC Steel Construction Manual Table B4.1, for structural steel components used in the construction of paratransit busses is recommended. Upon failure, structural steel components with a compact cross section experience appropriate rotational capacity at local plastic hinges. Failure of a non - compact section is unwanted as it is rapid and absorbs less energy when compared to the failure of a compact section. Structural members with closed cross sections have characteristics more favorable for use in paratransit bus construction. Members with closed cross sections are more easily connected to other members as they can facilitate full perimeter welds, whereas members with open section typically do not. In addition to this, members with closed cross sections typically resist local buckling better, leading to higher rotation capacity and improved structural performance. Examples of both sections are provided below. Closed Section Open Section TRIPS -11- CA -FCCSC 58 January 2012 Packet Page -1781- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Having a sidewall construction with continuous vertical columns and a segmented waistrail provides superior impact resistance when compared to a similar sidewall with segmented vertical columns and a continuous waistrail. The main reason for this significant performance discrepancy is reduced energy absorption in plastic hinges developing prematurely in the discontinuous columns, close to the connection with the waistrail. The difference in sidewall construction is shown below. CONTINUOUS_ ` SEGMENTED WAISTRAIL CONTINUOUS COLUMNS )TTOM RAIL ,OOR SYSTE CONTINUOUS WAISTRAIL _ SEGMENTED COLUMN CONTIMTOUS WAISTRAIL To provide a strong cage structure, it is important that structural members are welded on both sides as shown in the left of the figure directly below. The recommended weld pattern creates a strong connection in both directions of loading. If a weld is only present on one side of the member, the connection will provide little bending resistance in the direction that causes the member to rotate about the weld, as shown in the middle and right of the figure below.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Avoid the inclusion of non -steel materials between steel structural components. There are two key reasons for this: First, non -steel components typically have adverse effects on the overall structures performance due to their poor mechanical properties, thus creating a weak point in the structure. Second, the inclusion of non -steel components creates difficulties when trying to connect the main structural steel components. In the figure below, left and middle, two very similar wall -to -floor connections are shown, except for the fact that the second connection includes plywood sandwiched between the steel components. This difference results in a connection that is much less stiff and exhibits lower strength due to the crushing of the sandwiched plywood, leading to a failure as shown on the right of the figure below.

This is most significant in short busses, as there is high variability in the cage construction along the length of the bus due to the presence of doors and wheel wells. It is critical that the front of the passenger cage be designed and built to provide adequate strength and stiffness and not rely solely on its attachment to the cutaway cab for strength. This is important as the front of the passenger cage does not have a structural assembly capable of providing lateral stiffness in the event of an impact. Circled in red on the figure below is the area of interest. TRIPS -11- CA -FCCSC 60 January 2012 Packet Page -1783- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 EXHIBIT 7 Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure The test procedures defined below are the first phase of evaluating the body structure for all Paratransit buses purchased through TRIPS Program contracts. All tests must be successfully passed before a manufacturer is considered Pre - Qualified. The test procedure hierarchy chart and a quick summary of the tests are provided below. The full test procedure may be obtained from the TRIPS website (www.tripsflorida.org). Drawing review — Complete assembly drawings (2 -D or 3 -D) will be provided for evaluation. These must include location and type of all connections (welds, bolts, etc.). After evaluation the manufacturer will receive a report, based on knowledge gained from previous evaluations, noting any structural issues. Frame evaluation - A full body cage consisting of only structural tubing and plate will then be constructed and transported to FDOT Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings, is not representative of normal production, or if it fails the minimum structural requirement outlined below in the section titled "Connection Tests ". Material and Tubing Tests — The material and tubing tests are conducted to assess the strength of the bus structural tubing. Tensile testing will be performed to obtain the stress - strain relationship and four -point bending testing will be performed as a direct measure of the tubing performance. TRIPS -11- CA -FCCSC 92 January 2012 Packet Page -1815- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Connection Tests — The connection test is conducted to assess the strength of ^ - the roof to wall (RTW) and wall to floor (WTF) connections. It is conducted by fixing one half of the connection and then slowly applying a force to the other half. The moment required to rotate the sample through 16.7 degrees will be measured and used to calculate the energy dissipated. To account for different -. column spacing this amount will then be scaled based on the panel width. The WTF connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 290 J per meter of connection length. The RTW connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 140 J per meter of connection length. Sidewall Panel Test — The sidewall test is conducted by dynamically impacting the sidewall using a large impact hammer. The maximum panel deflection is measured after impact. To account for different column spacing the hammer's potential (initial) energy is scaled based on the panel width and equals 600J per meter of panel width. The panel will fail this test if after its maximum deflection exceeds 150mm with after impact. TRIPS -11- CA -FCCSC 93 January 2012 Packet Page -1816- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 I_M111M&I FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AIR CONDITIONING PULL -DOWN TEST PROCEDURE VERSION 9 OVERVIEW This test is the air conditioning and performance standard for all transit equipment purchased through Florida Vehicle Procurement Program contracts. The FDOT desires to have the test performed in an environment that simulates severe duty transit operation. To do this, the FDOT must test in a non - controlled environment. The FDOT will test one or more buses from each contract within the first year of a contract agreement. If a bus fails to meet the performance test, the FDOT reserves the right to suspend placement of further orders or terminate the contract. The FDOT also reserves the right to randomly test new buses at any time during the contract period, to ensure compliance. TEST CONDITIONS / EQUIPMENT The test will be performed on an asphalt parking lot in direct sunlight. The vehicle will be surrounded by a wall five (5) feet high, fifteen (15) feet wide and the length adjusted to the length of the bus. The minimum ambient temperature must be 94 degrees plus or minus 3 degrees Fahrenheit with a minimum 60% relative humidity. All temperature measurements will be recorded in degrees of Fahrenheit using a Measurement Computing, MCC Data Acquisition Software TracerDAQ configuration. MCC Data Acquisition is calibrated using InstaCal Software. Pressure readings are taken using a Yellow Jacket 686800 Manifold gauges. Voltage readings are taken using a Fluke model 78 automotive multi - meter. Amperage readings are taken using a Fluke model 336 True RMS Clamp Meter. TEST PROCEDURE Perform a complete ultrasonic leak detection test of the air conditioning system. If the system fails the leak detection test do not proceed any further. TRIPS -11- CA -FCCSC 97 January 2012 Packet Page -1820- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 �. Check to see that all windows and doors are closed properly, with no gaps or leaks. Check interior engine cover for a proper seal. Connect all test equipment. Heat soak the bus under test conditions for a minimum of two hours. Record the date, time of day, vehicle identification number and location. At the end of the 30 minute A/C pull down test there will be a 30 minute heat soak test performed to determine the efficiency of the insulation in the bus using the same measurement equipment used for the A/C pull down test. The heat soak test results will be considered as a part of the star ( * * * *) rating of the overall performance of the A/C system (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). In addition, the lowest average amperage draw observed at the beginning, middle and end of the 30 minute pull down test will also result in one star, if lowest of all systems tested (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). The test reading locations are as follows: CO Ambient air temperature; take outside of the vehicle, away from mechanical and radiant heat sources, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C1 Bus interior temperature; take reading 48 inches to 52 inches from the rear wall, four feet above the floor surface, using an Onega Engineering J -Type 5 position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C2 Bus interior temperature; take reading at the center line of the bus interior, four feet above the floor surface, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C3 Bus interior temperature; take reading at the first row of seats, four feet above the floor surface, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C4 Rear evaporator core temperature; take reading near the center of the core, using an Omega Engineering J -Type ICSS Thermocouple. C5 Bus engine compartment temperature; take reading above engine near the fire wall, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C6 Condenser core temperature; take reading near the center at the air in side, using an Omega Engineering J -Type ICSS Thermocouple. C7 Condenser air temperature; take reading near the center at the air out side, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Take pressure readings at the service ports of add on /second stage A/C system, using a Yellow Jacket 686800 manifold gauges. Take voltage readings at the battery or batteries using a Fluke Model 78 automotive multimeter. Take amperage readings at the positive cable from the battery or batteries using a Fluke model 336 True RMS Clamp Meter. Amperage draw of the A/C system will be checked after the pull down test is complete. With the vehicle in park, all doors and windows closed, start the engine, turn on the air conditioning system; set a/c system to maximum cooling positions; turn on all interior and exterior lights and let it run with the high idle on, (approximately 1200 RPM on diesel engines and approximately 1500 RPM on gasoline engines). If the high idle is designed to automatically turn off after the first 15 minutes the driver's door will be opened and the high idle turned back on for the last 15 minutes, this will not make the test invalid. All temperature readings shall be recorded every 15 seconds. Pressure readings and voltage readings shall be recorded at the start of the test and every 10 minutes. SYSTEM TEST RESULTS During the test, the interior temperature of the bus should lower uniformly throughout and should lower the interior temperature within the given time limit. The vehicle will fail the test if; a. The temperature difference between C1, C2, and C3 varies more than two degrees during each 15 second reading during the last 15 minutes of the test. b. The system fails to lower the interior temperature to 70 degrees Fahrenheit + or - 2 degrees (measured at Cl), or lower, by the end of the 30 minute test while maintaining an ambient temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit + or — 3 degrees (measured at CO) with 60% relative humidity. c. The voltage readings at the batteries fall below 12.9 volts at any time during The test d. In addition to pass or fail, systems will be given a star rating ( * * * *) for systems that achieve 70 degrees in the quickest amount of time, with the lowest amperage draw and retains the lowest temperature during the 30 minute heat TRIPS -11- CA -FCCSC 99 January 2012 Packet Page -1822- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

Award of contract is contingent on successfully completing the Pre - Qualification process and obtaining a Temporary Waiver Contract. The Pre - Qualification process must be completed prior to first build; no buses will be built until satisfactory results are obtained. TRIPS will then issue a Temporary Waiver Contract Award for a period of no more than 24- months from issuance of the temporary waiver. Satisfactory Full Scale testing should be completed within 24- months. Detailed information on the Pre - Approval Process requirements can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 7: Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure. The Pre - Qualification Process (90 -days) consists of two steps: Step 1 — Manufacturer submits to TRIPS detailed cage structural drawings, a description of the method of attachment and a description of materials to be used in its construction. Upon TRIPS completing their review, any structural concerns will be discussed with the manufacturer. Step 2 — TRIPS will notify the manufacturer to send a full body cage consisting of only primary structural tubing and plate to the FDOT Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings or is not representative of normal production. If the manufacturer fails to meet the approval requirements at the end of the temporary waiver contract period, the Contract Award will be terminated. Information on the full scale approval requirements on these standards can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 8: FDOT Crash and Safety Test Approval Process (Full Scale). TRIPS -11- CA -ABS 64 January 2012 Packet Page -1919- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 2.12.1 A fully welded structural steel cage is critical in the construction of a ^ sound paratransit bus. Structural steel framing is important as it provides an effective means of energy absorption in the cage structure and protects passengers against extensive deformation during roll -over and side impact accidents. Care should be taken to ensure the quality of the welds connecting the steel cage. Large differences in strength of the steel framing can be attributed to the poor performance of welds due to incorrect material preparation and /or incorrect heat setting used on the welding machine. To ensure the structural integrity of the frame is not compromised through the service life of the paratransit bus, measures should be taken to protect the structural steel frame from corrosion. This can be addressed through the use of galvanized steel or a sprayed on coating /paint. The use of compact cross sections, as defined by AISC Steel Construction Manual Table B4.1, for structural steel components used in the construction of paratransit busses is recommended. Upon failure, structural steel components with a compact cross section experience appropriate rotational capacity at local plastic hinges. Failure of a non - compact section is unwanted as it is rapid and absorbs less energy when compared to the failure of a compact section. Structural members with closed cross sections have characteristics more favorable for use in paratransit bus construction. Members with closed cross sections are more easily connected to other members as they can facilitate full perimeter welds, whereas members with open section typically do not. In addition to this, members with closed cross sections typically resist local buckling better, leading to higher rotation capacity and improved structural performance. Examples of both sections are provided below. Closed Section Open Section a Having a sidewall construction with continuous vertical columns and a segmented waistrail provides superior impact resistance when compared to a similar sidewall with segmented vertical columns and a continuous waistrail. The main reason for this significant performance discrepancy is reduced energy absorption in plastic hinges developing TRIPS -11- CA -ABS 65 January 2012 Packet Page -1920- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

The difference in sidewall construction is shown below. CONTINUOUS_ SEGMENTED_ WAISTRAIL HTLDS ON BOTH SIDES CONTINUOUS COLUMNS MOM RAIL ZOR SYSTEI CONTINUOUS WAISTRAIL SEGMENTED COLUMN _CONTINUOUS WAISTRAIL To provide a strong cage structure, it is important that structural members are welded on both sides as shown in the left of the figure directly below. The recommended weld pattern creates a strong connection in both directions of loading. If a weld is only present on one side of the member, the connection will provide little bending resistance in the direction that causes the member to rotate about the weld, as shown in the middle and right of the figure below.

COLUMN t -WELD ON ONE SIDE j( FLOOR SYSTEM i i Avoid the inclusion of non -steel materials between steel structural components. There are two key reasons for this: First, non -steel components typically have adverse effects on the overall structures performance due to their poor mechanical properties, thus creating a weak point in the structure. Second, the inclusion of non -steel TRIPS -11- CA -ABS 66 January 2012 Packet Page -1921- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 components creates difficulties when trying to connect the main structural steel components. In the figure below, left and middle, two very similar wall -to -floor connections are shown, except for the fact that the second connection includes plywood sandwiched between the steel components. This difference results in a connection that is much less stiff and exhibits lower strength due to the crushing of the sandwiched plywood, leading to a failure as shown on the right of the figure below.

This is most significant in short busses, as there is high variability in the cage construction along the length of the bus due to the presence of doors and wheel wells. It is critical that the front of the passenger cage be designed and built to provide adequate strength and stiffness and not rely solely on its attachment to the cutaway cab for strength. This is important as the front of the passenger cage does not have a structural assembly capable of providing lateral stiffness in the event of an impact. Circled in red on the figure below is the area of interest. TRIPS -11- CA -ABS 67 January 2012 Packet Page -1922- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 EXHIBIT 7 Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure The test procedures defined below are the first phase of evaluating the body structure for all Paratransit buses purchased through TRIPS Program contracts. All tests must be successfully passed before a manufacturer is considered Pre - Qualified. The test procedure hierarchy chart and a quick summary of the tests are provided below. The full test procedure may be obtained from the TRIPS website (www.tripsflorida.orq). Drawing review — Complete assembly drawings (2 -D or 3 -D) will be provided for evaluation. These must include location and type of all connections (welds, bolts, etc.). After evaluation the manufacturer will receive a report, based on knowledge gained from previous evaluations, noting any structural issues. Frame evaluation - A full body cage consisting of only structural tubing and plate will then be constructed and transported to FDOT Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings, is not representative of normal production, or if it fails the minimum structural requirement outlined below in the section titled "Connection Tests ". Material and Tubing Tests — The material and tubing tests are conducted to assess the strength of the bus structural tubing. Tensile testing will be performed to obtain the stress - strain relationship and four -point bending testing will be performed as a direct measure of the tubing performance. TRIPS -11- CA -ABS 101 January 2012 Packet Page -1956- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 �-` Connection Tests — The connection test is conducted to assess the strength of the roof to wall (RTW) and wall to floor (WTF) connections. It is conducted by fixing one half of the connection and then slowly applying a force to the other half. The moment required to rotate the sample through 16.7 degrees will be measured and used to calculate the energy dissipated. To account for different column spacing this amount will then be scaled based on the panel width. The WTF connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 290 J per meter of connection length. The RTW connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 140 J per meter of connection length. Sidewall Panel Test — The sidewall test is conducted by dynamically impacting the sidewall using a large impact hammer. The maximum panel deflection is measured after impact. To account for different column spacing the hammer's potential (initial) energy is scaled based on the panel width and equals 600J per meter of panel width. The panel will fail this test if after its maximum deflection exceeds 150mm with after impact. TRIPS -11- CA -ABS 102 January 2012 Packet Page -1957- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Exhibit 9 FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AIR CONDITIONING PULL -DOWN TEST PROCEDURE VERSION 9 OVERVIEW This test is the air conditioning and performance standard for all transit equipment purchased through Florida Vehicle Procurement Program contracts. The FDOT desires to have the test performed in an environment that simulates severe duty transit operation. To do this, the FDOT must test in a non - controlled environment. The FDOT will test one or more buses from each contract within the first year of a contract agreement. If a bus fails to meet the performance test, the FDOT reserves the right to suspend placement of further orders or terminate the contract. The FDOT also reserves the right to randomly test new buses at any time during the contract period, to ensure compliance. TEST CONDITIONS / EQUIPMENT The test will be performed on an asphalt parking lot in direct sunlight. The vehicle will be surrounded by a wall five (5) feet high, fifteen (15) feet wide and the length adjusted to the length of the bus. The minimum ambient temperature must be 94 degrees plus or minus 3 degrees Fahrenheit with a minimum 60% relative humidity. All temperature measurements will be recorded in degrees of Fahrenheit using a Measurement Computing, MCC Data Acquisition Software TracerDAQ configuration. MCC Data Acquisition is calibrated using InstaCal Software. Pressure readings are taken using a Yellow Jacket 686800 Manifold gauges. Voltage readings are taken using a Fluke model 78 automotive multi - meter. Amperage readings are taken using a Fluke model 336 True RMS Clamp Meter. TEST PROCEDURE TRIPS -11- CA -ABS 106 January 2012 Packet Page -1961- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Perform a complete ultrasonic leak detection test of the air conditioning system. If the system fails the leak detection test do not proceed any further. Check to see that all windows and doors are closed properly, with no gaps or leaks. Check interior engine cover for a proper seal. Connect all test equipment. Heat soak the bus under test conditions for a minimum of two hours. Record the date, time of day, vehicle identification number and location. At the end of the 30 minute A/C pull down test there will be a 30 minute heat soak test performed to determine the efficiency of the insulation in the bus using the same measurement equipment used for the A/C pull down test. The heat soak test results will be considered as a part of the star ( * * * *) rating of the overall performance of the A/C system (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). In addition, the lowest average amperage draw observed at the beginning, middle and end of the 30 minute pull down test will also result in one star, if lowest of all systems tested (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). The test reading locations are as follows: CO Ambient air temperature; take outside of the vehicle, away from mechanical and radiant heat sources, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C1 Bus interior temperature; take reading 48 inches to 52 inches from the rear wall, four feet above the floor surface, using an Onega Engineering J -Type 5 position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C2 Bus interior temperature; take reading at the center line of the bus interior, four feet above the floor surface, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 C7 Condenser air temperature; take reading near the center at the air out side, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. Take pressure readings at the service ports of add on /second stage A/C system, using a Yellow Jacket 686800 manifold gauges. Take voltage readings at the battery or batteries using a Fluke Model 78 automotive multimeter. Take amperage readings at the positive cable from the battery or batteries using a Fluke model 336 True RMS Clamp Meter. Amperage draw of the A/C system will be checked after the pull down test is complete. With the vehicle in park, all doors and windows closed, start the engine, turn on the air conditioning system; set a/c system to maximum cooling positions; turn on all interior and exterior lights and let it run with the high idle on, (approximately 1200 RPM on diesel engines and approximately 1500 RPM on gasoline engines). If the high idle is designed to automatically turn off after the first 15 minutes the driver's door will be opened and the high idle turned back on for the last 15 minutes, this will not make the test invalid. All temperature readings shall be recorded every 15 seconds. Pressure readings and voltage readings shall be recorded at the start of the test and every 10 minutes. SYSTEM TEST RESULTS During the test, the interior temperature of the bus should lower uniformly throughout and should lower the interior temperature within the given time limit. The vehicle will fail the test if; a. The temperature difference between C1, C2, and C3 varies more than two degrees during each 15 second reading during the last 15 minutes of the test. b. The system fails to lower the interior temperature to 70 degrees Fahrenheit + or - 2 degrees (measured at Cl), or lower, by the end of the 30 minute test while maintaining an ambient temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit + or — 3 degrees (measured at CO) with 60% relative humidity. c. The voltage readings at the batteries fall below 12.9 volts at any time during The test TRIPS -11- CA -ABS 108 January 2012 Packet Page -1963- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 d. In addition to pass or fail, systems will be given a star rating ( * * * *) for systems that achieve 70 degrees in the quickest amount of time, with the lowest amperage draw and retains the lowest temperature during the 30 minute heat soak test. There will be additional star ( * * * * *) given for service after the sale (see Star Rating Guidelines A/C). The remaining readings are taken for informational purposes only and do not indicate a pass or fail status. These readings are used in system comparisons. This information enables FDOT to determine each tested systems fastest pull -down time, lowest head pressure reading, highest voltage output, and lowest amperage draw that is observed at the beginning, middle and end of the 30 minute test (see Star Rating Guidelines A/C).

The primary focus of these meetings will be discussion of contract concerns, handling of warranty requests and areas receiving repetitive inspection write -ups. 5.10.1 CONTRACT DEALERS WARRANTY SERVICE Should clearly instruct and encourage procuring agencies that when they have maintenance issues that may be covered under warranty, to always contact their dealer FIRST. Dealers should have an effective system in place to allow agencies to speak with a representative about an issue, in a timely manner. 5.10.2 CONTRACT DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY Contract Dealers are responsible for all aspects of the warranty process. This includes scheduling, coordinating and monitoring all warranty repairs and parts replacements until they are fully resolved. This applies to the OEM chassis, bus manufacturer and vendor related warranty work. When two or more subcomponents are tied together by design to create a functional system, and those subcomponents are provided or installed by different manufacturers, TRIPS expects the Contract Dealer /Manufacturer to obtain written agreements as to which party is responsible for system defects and warranty provisos. Examples of these functional groups /systems are Alternator, A/C, Brackets, Camera /Data, etc. TRIPS reserves the right to view these agreements at any time, for the duration of the contract. Dealers should seek to minimize the time required for resolving warranty issues. Dealers are to coordinate with agencies to provide qualified warranty repairs with minimal disruption to agencies.

Award of contract is contingent on successfully completing the Pre - Qualification process and obtaining a Temporary Waiver Contract. The Pre - Qualification process must be completed prior to first build; no buses will be built until satisfactory results are obtained. TRIPS will then issue a Temporary Waiver Contract Award for a period of no more than 24- months from issuance of the temporary waiver. Satisfactory Full Scale testing should be completed within 24- months. Detailed information on the Pre - Approval Process requirements can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 7: Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure. The Pre - approval Process (90 -days) consists of two steps: Step 1 — Manufacturer submits to TRIPS detailed cage structural drawings, a description of the method of attachment and a description of materials to be used in its construction. Upon TRIPS completing their review, any structural concerns will be discussed with the manufacturer. Step 2 — TRIPS will notify the manufacturer to send a full body cage consisting of only primary structural tubing and plate to the FDOT TRIPS -11- CA -GB 64 January 2012 Packet Page -2069- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using ^ normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings or is not representative of normal production. If the manufacturer fails to meet the approval requirements at the end of the temporary waiver contract period, the Contract Award will be terminated. Information on the full scale approval requirements on these standards can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 8: FDOT Crash and Safety Test Approval Process (Full Scale). 2.12.1 A fully welded structural steel cage is critical in the construction of a sound paratransit bus. Structural steel framing is important as it provides an effective means of energy absorption in the cage structure and protects passengers against extensive deformation during roll -over and side impact accidents. Care should be taken to ensure the quality of the welds connecting the steel cage. Large differences in strength of the steel framing can be attributed to the poor performance of welds due to incorrect material preparation and /or incorrect heat setting used on the welding machine. To ensure the structural integrity of the frame is not compromised through the service life of the paratransit bus, measures should be taken to protect the structural steel frame from corrosion. This can be addressed through the use of galvanized steel or a sprayed on coating /paint. The use of compact cross sections, as defined by AISC Steel Construction Manual Table B4.1, for structural steel components used in the construction of paratransit busses is recommended. Upon failure, structural steel components with a compact cross section experience appropriate rotational capacity at local plastic hinges. Failure of a non - compact section is unwanted as it is rapid and absorbs less energy when compared to the failure of a compact section. Structural members with closed cross sections have characteristics more favorable for use in paratransit bus construction. Members with closed cross sections are more easily connected to other members as they can facilitate full perimeter welds, whereas members with open section typically do not. In addition to this, members with closed cross sections typically resist local buckling better, leading to higher rotation capacity and improved structural performance. Examples of both sections are provided below. TRIPS-11-CA-GB 65 January 2012 Packet Page -2070- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Closed Section Open Section Having a sidewall construction with continuous vertical columns and a segmented waistrail provides superior impact resistance when compared to a similar sidewall with segmented vertical columns and a continuous waistrail. The main reason for this significant performance discrepancy is reduced energy absorption in plastic hinges developing prematurely in the discontinuous columns, close to the connection with the waistrail. The difference in sidewall construction is shown below. CONTINUOUS COLUMN SEGMENTED WAISTRAIL � CONTINUOUS COLUMNS )TTOM PAL MR SYSTEI CONTINUOUS WAISTRAIL SEGMENTED '4 COLUMN CONTINUOUS - WAISTRAIL To provide a strong cage structure, it is important that structural members are welded on both sides as shown in the left of the figure directly below. The recommended weld pattern creates a strong connection in both directions of loading. If a weld is only present on one side of the member, the connection will provide little bending resistance in the direction that causes the member to rotate about the weld, as shown in the middle and right of the figure below. TRIPS -11- CA -GB 66 January 2012 Packet Page -2071- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 WELDS ON BOTH SIDES ►.�:� � ciTi ��i n _7 j — VERT. COLUMN i IOR SYSTEM WELDED ON ONE SIDE POOR RESISTANCE r. — VERT. COLUMN — WELD ON ONE SIDE — FLOOR SYSTEM POOR RESISTANCE VERT. COLUMN ' — WELD ON ONE SIDE I j — FLOOR SYSTEM 1� Avoid the inclusion of non -steel materials between steel structural components. There are two key reasons for this: First, non -steel components typically have adverse effects on the overall structures performance due to their poor mechanical properties, thus creating a weak point in the structure. Second, the inclusion of non -steel components creates difficulties when trying to connect the main structural steel components. In the figure below, left and middle, two very similar wall -to -floor connections are shown, except for the fact that the second connection includes plywood sandwiched between the steel components. This difference results in a connection that is much less stiff and exhibits lower strength due to the crushing of the sandwiched plywood, leading to a failure as shown on the right of the figure below.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Exterior skin and spray foam insulation can provide significant strength contributions to the bus structure depending on their composition and installation. This is most significant in short busses, as there is high variability in the cage construction along the length of the bus due to the presence of doors and wheel wells. It is critical that the front of the passenger cage be designed and built to provide adequate strength and stiffness and not rely solely on its attachment to the cutaway cab for strength. This is important as the front of the passenger cage does not have a structural assembly capable of providing lateral stiffness in the event of an impact. Circled in red on the figure below is the area of interest. FRONT -► 2.12.2 All joints shall be caulked and sealed at the time of construction to produce water and dust tight seal.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 EXHIBIT 7 Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure The test procedures defined below are the first phase of evaluating the body structure for all Paratransit buses purchased through TRIPS Program contracts. All tests must be successfully passed before a manufacturer is considered Pre - Qualified. The test procedure hierarchy chart and a quick summary of the tests are provided below. The full test procedure may be obtained from the TRIPS website (www.tripsflorida.org). Drawing review — Complete assembly drawings (2 -D or 3 -D) will be provided for evaluation. These must include location and type of all connections (welds, bolts, etc.). After evaluation the manufacturer will receive a report, based on knowledge gained from previous evaluations, noting any structural issues. Frame evaluation - A full body cage consisting of only structural tubing and plate will then be constructed and transported to FDOT Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings, is not representative of normal production, or if it fails the minimum structural requirement outlined below in the section titled "Connection Tests ". Material and Tubing Tests — The material and tubing tests are conducted to assess the strength of the bus structural tubing. Tensile testing will be performed to obtain the stress - strain relationship and four -point bending testing will be performed as a direct measure of the tubing performance. TRIPS -11- CA -GB 100 January 2012 Packet Page -2105- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Connection Tests — The connection test is conducted to assess the strength of ^ the roof to wall (RTW) and wall to floor (WTF) connections. It is conducted by fixing one half of the connection and then slowly applying a force to the other half. The moment required to rotate the sample through 16.7 degrees will be measured and used to calculate the energy dissipated. To account for different column spacing this amount will then be scaled based on the panel width. The WTF connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 290 J per meter of connection length. The RTW connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 140 J per meter of connection length. Sidewall Panel Test — The sidewall test is conducted by dynamically impacting the sidewall using a large impact hammer. The maximum panel deflection is measured after impact. To account for different column spacing the hammer's potential (initial) energy is scaled based on the panel width and equals 600J per meter of panel width. The panel will fail this test if after its maximum deflection exceeds 150mm with after impact. TRIPS -11- CA -GB 101 January 2012 Packet Page -2106- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

Performance of a paratransit bus in side impact and rollover tests shall be assessed by either: • Experimental, full -scale crash tests (Appendices 6 and 7), or • Computational analysis using FE method (Sections 3, 4 and 5). Both methods are considered equivalent and either one may be selected by the bus manufacturer for the bus approval. The paratransit bus is considered to be crashworthy and safe if its residual space (as defined in Appendix 1) is not compromised through either intrusion (Section 5.3.1) or projection (Section 5.3.2). If the manufacturer chooses computational analysis as the testing method, the following information shall be supplied to the technical service: • A description of the applied simulation and calculation method which has been utilized, • Clear precise identification of the analysis software, including at least, its producer, its commercial name, the version used and contact details of the developer, • Information about model validation process.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Exhibit 9 FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AIR CONDITIONING PULL -DOWN TEST PROCEDURE VERSION 9 OVERVIEW This test is the air conditioning and performance standard for all transit equipment purchased through Florida Vehicle Procurement Program contracts. The FDOT desires to have the test performed in an environment that simulates severe duty transit operation. To do this, the FDOT must test in a non - controlled environment. The FDOT will test one or more buses from each contract within the first year of a contract agreement. If a bus fails to meet the performance test, the FDOT reserves the right to suspend placement of further orders or terminate r� the contract. The FDOT also reserves the right to randomly test new buses at any time during the contract period, to ensure compliance. TEST CONDITIONS / EQUIPMENT The test will be performed on an asphalt parking lot in direct sunlight. The vehicle will be surrounded by a wall five (5) feet high, fifteen (15) feet wide and the length adjusted to the length of the bus. The minimum ambient temperature must be 94 degrees plus or minus 3 degrees Fahrenheit with a minimum 60% relative humidity. All temperature measurements will be recorded in degrees of Fahrenheit using a Measurement Computing, MCC Data Acquisition Software TracerDAQ configuration. MCC Data Acquisition is calibrated using InstaCal Software. Pressure readings are taken using a Yellow Jacket 686800 Manifold gauges. Voltage readings are taken using a Fluke model 78 automotive multi - meter. Amperage readings are taken using a Fluke model 336 True RMS Clamp Meter. TEST PROCEDURE TRIPS -11- CA -GB 105 January 2012 Packet Page -2110- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Perform a complete ultrasonic leak detection test of the air conditioning system. If the system fails the leak detection test do not proceed any further. Check to see that all windows and doors are closed properly, with no gaps or leaks. Check interior engine cover for a proper seal. Connect all test equipment. Heat soak the bus under test conditions for a minimum of two hours. Record the date, time of day, vehicle identification number and location. At the end of the 30 minute A/C pull down test there will be a 30 minute heat soak test performed to determine the efficiency of the insulation in the bus using the same measurement equipment used for the A/C pull down test. The heat soak test results will be considered as a part of the star ( * * * *) rating of the overall performance of the A/C system (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). In addition, the lowest average amperage draw observed at the beginning, middle and end of the 30 minute pull down test will also result in one star, if lowest of all systems tested (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). The test reading locations are as follows: CO Ambient air temperature; take outside of the vehicle, away from mechanical and radiant heat sources, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C1 Bus interior temperature; take reading 48 inches to 52 inches from the rear wall, four feet above the floor surface, using an Onega Engineering J -Type 5 position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C2 Bus interior temperature; take reading at the center line of the bus interior, four feet above the floor surface, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C3 Bus interior temperature; take reading at the first row of seats, four feet above the floor surface, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. , C4 Rear evaporator core temperature; take reading near the center of the core, using an Omega Engineering J -Type ICSS Thermocouple. C5 Bus engine compartment temperature; take reading above engine near the fire wall, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C6 Condenser core temperature; take reading near the center at the air in side, using an Omega Engineering J -Type ICSS Thermocouple. TRIPS -11- CA -GB 106 January 2012 Packet Page -2111- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 C7 Condenser air temperature; take reading near the center at the air out side, ^ using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. Take pressure readings at the service ports of add on /second stage A/C system, using a Yellow Jacket 686800 manifold gauges. Take voltage readings at the battery or batteries using a Fluke Model 78 automotive multimeter. Take amperage readings at the positive cable from the battery or batteries using a Fluke model 336 True RMS Clamp Meter. Amperage draw of the A/C system will be checked after the pull down test is complete. With the vehicle in park, all doors and windows closed, start the engine, turn on the air conditioning system; set a/c system to maximum cooling positions; turn on all interior and exterior lights and let it run with the high idle on, (approximately 1200 RPM on diesel engines and approximately 1500 RPM on gasoline engines). If the high idle is designed to automatically turn off after the first 15 minutes the driver's door will be opened and the high idle turned back on for the last 15 minutes, this will not make the test invalid. All temperature readings shall be recorded every 15 seconds. Pressure readings and voltage readings shall be recorded at the start of the test and every 10 minutes. SYSTEM TEST RESULTS During the test, the interior temperature of the bus should lower uniformly throughout and should lower the interior temperature within the given time limit. The vehicle will fail the test if; a. The temperature difference between C1, C2, and C3 varies more than two degrees during each 15 second reading during the last 15 minutes of the test. b. The system fails to lower the interior temperature to 70 degrees Fahrenheit + or - 2 degrees (measured at Cl), or lower, by the end of the 30 minute test while maintaining an ambient temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit + or — 3 degrees (measured at CO) with 60% relative humidity. c. The voltage readings at the batteries fall below 12.9 volts at any time during The test TRIPS-11-CA-GB 107 January 2012 Packet Page -2112- n 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 d. In addition to pass or fail, systems will be given a star rating ( * * * *) for systems that achieve 70 degrees in the quickest amount of time, with the lowest amperage draw and retains the lowest temperature during the 30 minute heat soak test. There will be additional star ( * * * * *) given for service after the sale (see Star Rating Guidelines A/C). The remaining readings are taken for informational purposes only and do not indicate a pass or fail status. These readings are used in system comparisons. This information enables FDOT to determine each tested systems fastest pull -down time, lowest head pressure reading, highest voltage output, and lowest amperage draw that is observed at the beginning, middle and end of the 30 minute test (see Star Rating Guidelines A/C).

Award of contract is contingent on successfully completing the Pre - Qualification process and obtaining a Temporary Waiver Contract. The Pre - Qualification process must be completed prior to first build; no buses will be built until satisfactory results are obtained. TRIPS will then issue a Temporary Waiver Contract Award for a period of no more than 24- months from issuance of the temporary waiver. Satisfactory Full Scale testing should be completed within 24- months. Detailed information on the Pre - Approval Process requirements can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 7: Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure. 1*11*N The Pre - approval Process (90 -days) consists of two steps: Step 1 — Manufacturer submits to TRIPS detailed cage structural drawings, a description of the method of attachment and a description of materials to be used in its construction. Upon TRIPS completing their review, any structural concerns will be discussed with the manufacturer. Step 2 — TRIPS will notify the manufacturer to send a full body cage consisting of only primary structural tubing and plate to the FDOT Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings or is not representative of normal production. If the manufacturer fails to meet the approval requirements at the end of the temporary waiver contract period, the Contract Award will be terminated. Information on the full scale approval requirements on these standards can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 8: FDOT Crash and Safety Test Approval Process (Full Scale). 2.12.1 A fully welded structural steel cage is critical in the construction of a sound paratransit bus. Structural steel framing is important as it TRIPS -11- CA -RB 55 January 2012 Packet Page -2207- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 provides an effective means of energy absorption in the cage structure and protects passengers against extensive deformation during roll -over and side impact accidents. Care should be taken to ensure the quality of the welds connecting the steel cage. Large differences in strength of the steel framing can be attributed to the poor performance of welds due to incorrect material preparation and /or incorrect heat setting used on the welding machine. To ensure the structural integrity of the frame is not compromised through the service life of the paratransit bus, measures should be taken to protect the structural steel frame from corrosion. This can be addressed through the use of galvanized steel or a sprayed on coating /paint. The use of compact cross sections, as defined by AISC Steel Construction Manual Table B4.1, for structural steel components used in the construction of paratransit buses is recommended. Upon failure, structural steel components with a compact cross section experience appropriate rotational capacity at local plastic hinges. Failure of a non - compact section is unwanted as it is rapid and absorbs less energy when compared to the failure of a compact section. Structural members with closed cross sections have characteristics more favorable for use in paratransit bus construction. Members with closed cross sections are more easily connected to other members as they can facilitate full perimeter welds, whereas members with open section typically do not. In addition to this, members with closed cross sections typically resist local buckling better, leading to higher rotation capacity and improved structural performance. Examples of both sections are provided below. Closed Section Open Section G Having a sidewall construction with continuous vertical columns and a segmented waistrail provides superior impact resistance when compared to a similar sidewall with segmented vertical columns and a continuous waistrail: The main reason for this significant performance discrepancy is reduced energy absorption in plastic hinges developing prematurely in the discontinuous columns, close to the connection with the waistrail. The difference in sidewall construction is shown below. TRIPS -11- CA -RB 56 January 2012 Packet Page -2208- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 CONTINUOUS COLUMN SEGMENTED WAISTRAIL- CONTINUOUS COLUMNS CONTINUOUS WAISTRAIL SEGMENTED - CANTRAM COLUMN CONTINI.�OUS - WAIS'IRAII. To provide a strong cage structure, it is important that structural members are welded on both sides as shown in the left of the figure directly below. The recommended weld pattern creates a strong connection in both directions of loading. If a weld is only present on one side of the member, the connection will provide little bending resistance in the direction that causes the member to rotate about the weld, as shown in the middle and right of the figure below.

POOR RESISTANCE VERT.COLUMN - 'AlLD ON ONE SIDE FLOOR SYSIEN! 2 Avoid the inclusion of non -steel materials between steel structural components. There are two key reasons for this: First, non -steel components typically have adverse effects on the overall structures performance due to their poor mechanical properties, thus creating a weak point in the structure. Second, the inclusion of non -steel components creates difficulties when trying to connect the main structural steel components. In the figure below, left and middle, two very similar wall -to -floor connections are shown, except for the fact that TRIPS -11- CA -RB 57 January 2012 Packet Page -2209- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 the second connection includes plywood sandwiched between the steel components. This difference results in a connection that is much less stiff and exhibits lower strength due to the crushing of the sandwiched plywood, leading to a failure as shown on the right of the figure below.

This is most significant in short buses, as there is high variability in the cage construction along the length of the bus due to the presence of doors and wheel wells. It is critical that the front of the passenger cage be designed and built to provide adequate strength and stiffness and not rely solely on its attachment to the cutaway cab for strength. This is important as the front of the passenger cage does not have a structural assembly capable of providing lateral stiffness in the event of an impact. Circled in red on the figure below is the area of interest. TRIPS -11- CA-1113 58 January 2012 Packet Page -2210- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Exhibit 6 Alternator Output Test FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATOR OUTPUT TEST PROCEDURE VERSION 1.0 OVERVIEW This test is the alternator output test for all transit equipment purchased through Florida Transit Research Inspection Procurement program contracts. This test will be performed on all aftermarket alternators that are recommended by bus manufacturers to replace the OEM alternators. FDOT desires to have this test replicate an environment that simulates severe duty transit operations. The FDOT will test one of each type of alternator to be used on the transit vehicles and could include OEM alternators. TEST CONDITIONS / EQUIPMENT This test will be performed at the FDOT Bus Inspection, Testing and Research facility in Tallahassee, FL. The subject alternator is tested using a Crumbliss 2115 Alternator test machine. It is encased in an aluminum heat - shroud containing a thermometer. Heat is provided by a 500 degree heat gun attached to the heat- shroud. This set -up provides a simulation of under -hood operating conditions. During testing, a 12 volt battery is used to maintain the charging system. DC on /off switches control two 12" DC condenser fan motors to prevent the battery from overcharging. TEST SET -UP 1. Install subject alternator into testing machine vise; 2. Determine appropriate size alternator pulley to be used; 3. Determine tester pulley size to drive alternator at correct engine idle RPM; 4.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Exhibit 7 Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure The test procedures defined. below are the first phase of evaluating the body structure for all Paratransit buses purchased through TRIPS Program contracts. All tests must be successfully passed before a manufacturer is considered Pre - Qualified. The test procedure hierarchy chart and a quick summary of the tests are provided below. The full test procedure may be obtained from the TRIPS website (www.tripsflorida.org). Drawing review — Complete assembly drawings (2 -D or 3 -D) will be provided for evaluation. These must include location and type of all connections (welds, bolts, etc.). After evaluation the manufacturer will receive a report, based on knowledge gained from previous evaluations, noting any structural issues. Frame evaluation - A full body cage consisting of only structural tubing and plate will then be constructed and transported to FDOT Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings, is not representative of normal production, or if it fails the minimum structural requirement outlined below in the section titled "Connection Tests ". Material and Tubing Tests — The material and tubing tests are conducted to assess the strength of the bus structural tubing. Tensile testing will be performed to obtain the stress - strain relationship and four -point bending testing will be performed as a direct measure of the tubing performance. TRIPS -11- CA -RB 91 January 2012 Packet Page -2243- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Connection Tests — The connection test is conducted to assess the strength of the roof to wall (RTW) and wall to floor (WTF) connections. It is conducted by fixing one half of the connection and then slowly applying a force to the other half. The moment required to rotate the sample through 16.7 degrees will be measured and used to calculate the energy dissipated. To account for different column spacing this amount will then be scaled based on the panel width. The WTF connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 290 J per meter of connection length. The RTW connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 140 J per meter of connection length. Sidewall Panel Test — The sidewall test is conducted by dynamically impacting the sidewall using a large impact hammer. The maximum panel deflection is measured after impact. To account for different column spacing the hammer's potential (initial) energy is scaled based on the panel width and equals 600J per meter of panel width. The panel will fail this test if after its maximum deflection exceeds 150mm with after impact. TRIPS -11- CA -RB 92 January 2012 Packet Page -2244- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Exhibit 9 FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AIR CONDITIONING PULL -DOWN TEST PROCEDURE VERSION 9.1 OVERVIEW This test is the air conditioning and performance standard for all transit equipment purchased through Florida Vehicle Procurement Program contracts. The FDOT desires to have the test performed in an environment that simulates severe duty transit operation. To do this, the FDOT must test in a non - controlled environment. The FDOT will test one or more buses from each contract within the first year of a contract agreement. If a bus fails to meet the performance test, the FDOT reserves the right to suspend placement of further orders or terminate the contract. The FDOT also reserves the right to randomly test new buses at any time during the contract period, to ensure compliance. TEST CONDITIONS / EQUIPMENT The test will be performed on an asphalt parking lot in direct sunlight. The vehicle will be surrounded by a wall five (5) feet high, fifteen (15) feet wide and the length adjusted to the length of the bus. The minimum ambient temperature must be 94 degrees plus or minus 3 degrees Fahrenheit with a minimum 60% relative humidity. All temperature measurements will be recorded in degrees of Fahrenheit using a Measurement Computing, MCC Data Acquisition Software TracerDAQ configuration. MCC Data Acquisition is calibrated using InstaCal Software. Pressure readings are taken using a Yellow Jacket 686800 Manifold gauges. Voltage readings are taken using a Fluke model 78 automotive multi - meter. Amperage readings are taken using a Fluke model 336 True RMS Clamp Meter. TEST PROCEDURE Perform a complete ultrasonic leak detection test of the air conditioning system. If the system fails the leak detection test do not proceed any further. TRIPS -11- CA-1113 96 January 2012 Packet Page -2248- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Check to see that all windows and doors are closed properly, with no gaps or leaks. Check interior engine cover for a proper seal. Connect all test equipment. Heat soak the bus under test conditions for a minimum of two hours. Record the date, time of day, vehicle identification number and location. At the end of the 30 minute A/C pull down test there will be a 30 minute heat soak test performed to determine the efficiency of the insulation in the bus using the same measurement equipment used for the A/C pull down test. The heat soak test results will be considered as a part of the star ( * * * *) rating of the overall performance of the A/C system (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). In addition, the lowest average amperage draw observed at the beginning, middle and end of the 30 minute pull down test will also result in one star, if lowest of all systems tested (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). The test reading locations are as follows: CO Ambient air temperature; take outside of the vehicle, away from mechanical and radiant heat sources, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple.

Award of contract is contingent on successfully completing the Pre - Qualification process and obtaining a Temporary Waiver Contract. The Pre - Qualification process must be completed prior to first build; no buses will be built until satisfactory results are obtained. TRIPS will then issue a Temporary Waiver Contract Award for a period of no more than 24- months from issuance of the temporary waiver. Satisfactory Full Scale testing should be completed within 24- months. Detailed information on the Pre - Approval Process requirements can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 7: Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure. The Pre - approval Process (90 -days) consists of two steps: Step 1 — Manufacturer submits to TRIPS detailed cage structural drawings, a description of the method of attachment and a description of materials to be used in its construction. Upon TRIPS completing TRIPS -11- CA -TP 60 January 2012 Packet Page -2352- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 their review, any structural concerns will be discussed with the manufacturer. : Step 2 — TRIPS will notify the manufacturer to send a full body cage consisting of only primary structural tubing and plate to the FDOT Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front - cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings or is not representative of normal production. If the manufacturer fails to meet the approval requirements at the end of the temporary waiver contract period, the Contract Award will be terminated. Information on the full scale approval requirements on these standards can be found in Part 2, Exhibit 8: FDOT Crash and Safety Test Approval Process (Full Scale). 2.12.1 A fully welded structural steel cage is critical in the construction of a sound paratransit bus. Structural steel framing is important as it provides an effective means of energy absorption in the cage structure and protects passengers against extensive deformation during roll -over and side impact accidents. Care should be taken to ensure the quality of the welds connecting the steel cage. Large differences in strength of the steel framing can be attributed to the poor performance of welds due to incorrect material preparation and /or incorrect heat setting used on the welding machine. To ensure the structural integrity of the frame is not compromised through the service life of the paratransit bus, measures should be taken to protect the structural steel frame from corrosion. This can be addressed through the use of galvanized steel or a sprayed on coating /paint. The use of compact cross sections, as defined by AISC Steel Construction Manual Table B4.1, for structural steel components used in the construction of paratransit buses is recommended. Upon failure, structural steel components with a compact cross section experience appropriate rotational capacity at local plastic hinges. Failure of a non- compact section is unwanted as it is rapid and absorbs less energy when compared to the failure of a compact section. Structural members with closed cross sections have characteristics more favorable for use in paratransit bus construction. Members with closed cross sections are more easily connected to other members as they can facilitate full perimeter welds, whereas members with open section typically do not. In addition to this, members with closed cross TRIPS -11- CA -TP 61 January 2012 _._ Packet Page -2353- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 sections typically resist local buckling better, leading to higher rotation capacity and improved structural performance. Examples of both sections are provided below. Closed Section Open Section l .uo::c:: Having a sidewall construction with continuous vertical columns and a segmented waistrail provides superior impact resistance when compared to a similar sidewall with segmented vertical columns and a continuous waistrail. The main reason for this significant performance discrepancy is reduced energy absorption in plastic hinges developing prematurely in the discontinuous columns, close to the connection with the waistrail. The difference in sidewall construction is shown below. CONTINUOUS COLUMN SEGMENTED W'AISTRAII. CONTINUOUS COLUMNS )TTOM RAIL LOOK SYSPEI CONTINUOUS WAISTRAIL SEGMENTED COI,UMN CONTINUOUS �WAISTRAIL To provide a strong cage structure, it is important that structural members are welded on both sides as shown in the left of the figure directly below. The recommended weld pattern creates a strong connection in both directions of loading. If a weld is only present on one side of the member, the connection will provide little bending resistance in the direction that causes the member to rotate about the weld, as shown in the middle and right of the figure below. TRIPS -11- CA -TP 62 January 2012 Packet Page -2354- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

COLUMN WELD ON ONE SIDE TOR SYSTEM — FLOOR SYSTEM 5 J POOR RESISTANCE 1 VERT. COLUMN — WELD ON ONE SIDE — FLOOR SYSTEM I J Avoid the inclusion of non -steel materials between steel structural components. There are two key reasons for this: First, non -steel components typically have adverse effects on the overall structures performance due to their poor mechanical properties, thus creating a weak point in the structure. Second, the inclusion of non -steel components creates difficulties when trying to connect the main structural steel components. In the figure below, left and middle, two very similar wall -to -floor connections are shown, except for the fact that the second connection includes plywood sandwiched between the steel components. This difference results in a connection that is much less stiff and exhibits lower strength due to the crushing of the sandwiched plywood, leading to a failure as shown on the right of the figure below.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Exterior skin and spray foam insulation can provide significant strength contributions to the bus structure depending on their composition and installation. This is most significant in short buses, as there is high variability in the cage construction along the length of the bus due to the presence of doors and wheel wells. It is critical that the front of the passenger cage be designed and built to provide adequate strength and stiffness and not rely solely on its attachment to the cutaway cab for strength. This is important as the front of the passenger cage does not have a structural assembly capable of providing lateral stiffness in the event of an impact. Circled in red on the figure below is the area of interest. FRONT IN- 2.12.2 All joints shall be caulked and sealed at the time of construction to produce water and dust tight seal.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Exhibit 7 Pre - Qualification Structural Test Procedure The test procedures defined below are the first phase of evaluating the body structure for all Paratransit buses purchased through TRIPS Program contracts. All tests must be successfully passed before a manufacturer is considered Pre - Qualified. The test procedure hierarchy chart and a quick summary of the tests are provided below. The full test procedure may be obtained from the TRIPS website (www.tripsflorida.org). Drawing review I. Frame evaluation , a Jowl n Material and Tubing '� V Connection tests Panel test tests I Drawing review — Complete assembly drawings (2 -D or 3 -D) will be provided for evaluation. These must include location and type of all connections (welds, bolts, etc.). After evaluation the manufacturer will receive a report, based on knowledge gained from previous evaluations, noting any structural issues. Frame evaluation - A full body cage consisting of only structural tubing and plate will then be constructed and transported to FDOT Springhill Road Test Facility. This cage should be constructed using normal production methods and include the entry stairwell and front cap. The frame will fail the evaluation if it is inconsistent with the assembly drawings, is not representative of normal production, or if it fails the minimum structural requirement outlined below in the section titled "Connection Tests ". Material and Tubing Tests — The material and tubing tests are conducted to assess the strength of the bus structural tubing. Tensile testing will be performed to obtain the stress - strain relationship and four -point bending testing will be performed as a direct measure of the tubing performance. TRIPS -11- CA -TP 96 January 2012 Packet Page -2388- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Connection Tests — The connection test is conducted to assess the strength of the roof to wall (RTW) and wall to floor (WTF) connections. It is conducted by fixing one half of the connection and then slowly applying a force to the other half. The moment required to rotate the sample through 16.7 degrees will be measured and used to calculate the energy dissipated. To account for different column spacing this amount will then be scaled based on the panel width. The WTF connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 290 J per meter of connection length. The RTW connection will fail the test if it is unable to dissipate 140 J per meter of connection length. Sidewall Panel Test — The sidewall test is conducted by dynamically impacting the sidewall using a large impact hammer. The maximum panel deflection is measured after impact. To account for different column spacing the hammer's potential (initial) energy is scaled based on the panel width and equals 600J per meter of panel width. The panel will fail this test if after its maximum deflection exceeds 150mm with after impact. TRIPS -11- CA -TP 97 January 2012 Packet Page -2389- 11/12/2013 16.D.12.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Exhibit 9 FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AIR CONDITIONING PULL -DOWN TEST PROCEDURE OVERVIEW - This test is the air conditioning and performance standard for all transit equipment purchased through Florida Vehicle Procurement Program contracts. The FDOT desires to have the test performed in an environment that simulates severe duty transit operation. To do this, the FDOT must test in a non - controlled environment. The FDOT will test one or more buses from each contract within the first year of a contract agreement. If a bus fails to meet the performance test, the FDOT reserves the right to suspend placement of further orders or terminate the contract. The FDOT also reserves the right to randomly test new buses at any time during the contract period, to ensure compliance. TEST CONDITIONS / EQUIPMENT The test will be performed on an asphalt parking lot in direct sunlight. The vehicle will be surrounded by a wall five (5) feet high, fifteen (15) feet wide and the length adjusted to the length of the bus. The minimum ambient temperature must be 94 degrees plus or minus 3 degrees Fahrenheit with a minimum 60% relative humidity. All temperature measurements will be recorded in degrees of Fahrenheit using a Measurement Computing, MCC Data Acquisition Software TracerDAQ configuration. MCC Data Acquisition is calibrated using InstaCal Software. Pressure readings are taken using a Yellow Jacket 686800 Manifold gauges. Voltage readings are taken using a Fluke model 78 automotive multi - meter. Amperage readings are taken using a Fluke model 336 True RMS Clamp Meter. TEST PROCEDURE TRIPS -11- CA -TP 101 January 2012 Packet Page -2393- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 Perform a complete ultrasonic leak detection test of the air conditioning system. ^ If the system fails the leak detection test do not proceed any further. Check to see that all windows and doors are closed properly, with no gaps or leaks. Check interior engine cover for a proper seal. Connect all test equipment. Heat soak the bus under test conditions for a minimum of two hours. Record the date, time of day, vehicle identification number and location. At the end of the 30 minute A/C pull down test there will be a 30 minute heat soak test performed to determine the efficiency of the insulation in the bus using the same measurement equipment used for the A/C pull down test. The heat soak test results will be considered as a part of the star ( * * * *) rating of the overall performance of the A/C system (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). In addition, the lowest average amperage draw observed at the beginning, middle and end of the 30 minute pull down test will also result in one star, if lowest of all systems tested (see Star Rating Guidelines for A/C). The test reading locations are as follows: CO Ambient air temperature; take outside of the vehicle, away from mechanical and radiant heat sources, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C1 Bus interior temperature; take reading 48 inches to 52 inches from the rear wall, four feet above the floor surface, using an Onega Engineering J -Type 5 position Fine Wire Thermocouple. C2 Bus interior temperature; take reading at the center line of the bus interior, four feet above the floor surface, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple.

Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 C7 Condenser air temperature; take reading near the center at the air out side, using an Omega Engineering J -Type 5 Position Fine Wire Thermocouple. Take pressure readings at the service ports of add on /second stage A/C system, using a Yellow Jacket 686800 manifold gauges. Take voltage readings at the battery or batteries using a Fluke Model 78 automotive multimeter. Take amperage readings at the positive cable from the battery or batteries using a Fluke model 336 True RMS Clamp Meter. Amperage draw of the A/C system will be checked after the pull down test is complete. With the vehicle in park, all doors and windows closed, start the engine, turn on the air conditioning system; set a/c system to maximum cooling positions; turn on all interior and exterior lights and let it run with the high idle on, (approximately 1200 RPM on diesel engines and approximately 1500 RPM on gasoline engines). If the high idle is designed to automatically turn off after the first 15 minutes the driver's door will be opened and the high idle turned back on for the last 15 minutes, this will not make the test invalid. All temperature readings shall be recorded every 15 seconds. Pressure readings and voltage readings shall be recorded at the start of the test and every 10 minutes. SYSTEM TEST RESULTS During the test, the interior temperature of the bus should lower uniformly throughout and should lower the interior temperature within the given time limit. The vehicle will fail the test if; a. The temperature difference between C1, C2, and C3 varies more than two degrees during each 15 second reading during the last 15 minutes of the test. b. The system fails to lower the interior temperature to 70 degrees Fahrenheit + or - 2 degrees (measured at Cl), or lower, by the end of the 30 minute test while maintaining an ambient temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit + or — 3 degrees (measured at CO) with 60% relative humidity. c. The voltage readings at the batteries fall below 12.9 volts at any time during The test TRIPS -11- CA -TP 103 January 2012 Packet Page -2395- 11/12/2013 16.D.12. Florida Department of Transportation Public Transit Office Part 2 d. In addition to pass or fail, systems will be given a star rating ( * * * *) for systems ^ that achieve 70 degrees in the quickest amount of time, with the lowest amperage draw and retains the lowest temperature during the 30 minute heat soak test. There will be additional star ( * * * * *) given for service after the sale (see Star Rating Guidelines A/C). The remaining readings are taken for informational purposes only and do not indicate a pass or fail status. These readings are used in system comparisons.

The primary focus of these meetings will be discussion of contract concerns, handling of warranty requests and areas receiving repetitive inspection write -ups. 5.10.1 CONTRACT DEALERS WARRANTY SERVICE Should clearly instruct and encourage procuring agencies that when they have maintenance issues that may be covered under warranty, to always contact their dealer FIRST. Dealers should have an effective system in place to allow agencies to speak with a representative about an issue, in a timely manner. 5.10.2 CONTRACT DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY Contract Dealers are responsible for all aspects of the warranty process. This includes scheduling, coordinating and monitoring all warranty repairs and parts replacements until they are fully resolved. This applies to the OEM chassis, bus manufacturer and vendor related warranty work. When two or more subcomponents are tied together by design to create a functional system, and those subcomponents are provided or installed by different manufacturers, TRIPS expects the Contract Dealer /Manufacturer to obtain written agreements as to which party is responsible for system defects and warranty provisos. Examples of these functional groups /systems are Alternator, A/C, Brackets, Camera /Data, etc. TRIPS reserves the right to view these agreements at any time, for the duration of the contract. Dealers should seek to minimize the time required for resolving warranty issues. Dealers are to coordinate with agencies to provide qualified warranty repairs with minimal disruption to agencies.
