SECTION II INSTRUCTIONS TO PROPOSERS 1.INTRODUCTION. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (the “Authority” or "JTA") is a public body politic and corporate agency of the State of Florida created under chapter 349, as amended, Florida statutes. The Authority is a transit and transportation facilities provider in North Florida, constructing and improving roadways as well as constructing, equipping and operating transit services. The Authority operates in Duval County, Florida (the “County”), including in the City of Jacksonville, Florida (the “City”) and surrounding areas. 2.SOLICITATION TERMINOLOGY. The term Solicitation includes all documents that are included or referenced in the Solicitation package, including without limitation, the Request for Proposals, Instructions to Proposers, Specifications, Scope of Work/Services/Products, Special Conditions, Insurance Requirements, Contract Form, General Conditions, Required Clauses for Federally-Assisted Contracts, Required Forms and Certifications. The terms Proposer and Vendor may be used interchangeably. 3.PROPOSER'S OFFICIAL RECEIPT OF SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS. The Proposer must request and receive the complete Solicitation package directly from the Authority. If you submit a Proposal and you do not receive the Solicitation documents directly from the Authority, there is a serious risk that you will not be kept informed of Addenda and, therefore, your Proposal may be deemed non-responsive. 4.PROPOSAL DELIVERY AND OPENING. Proposals must be submitted in an opaque sealed envelope and properly labeled with the name and number of the Solicitation. Proposals must be submitted by the due date, at the location identified in the Notice for Publication (the “Notice”), or as amended in an Addendum. The sealed envelope must contain one (1) original, one (1) electronic copy, and ten (10) hard copies of all of the exact Forms contained in Section VII. No additional promotional or advertising information will be accepted. Facsimile and electronic transmissions will not be accepted. Late Proposals will not be opened. Due to the lack of control over the standard postal delivery service, many companies hand-deliver or use a private delivery service to ensure delivery by the 2:00 P.M. deadline. The Authority is not responsible for the failure of the postal service or private delivery service to locate and deliver the Proposal in a timely manner. The Authority is the official timekeeper and the Authority's determination of the time shall be deemed correct and final. 5.PROPOSAL ADDENDA. The Authority may respond to questions, or it may clarify or change any part of this Solicitation by issuing an Addendum. By submitting a Proposal, each Proposer consents to the content of all Addenda, whether or not received by the Proposer. Proposals must include the written acknowledgment of all Addenda that is contained in Section VII. The Solicitation may only be modified or clarified by Addenda and no verbal or informal writing that attempts to modify or interpret the Solicitation will be binding upon the Aut hority. 6.LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. The parties recognize that it is of utmost importance for the Proposer to complete the Contract within the time specified therein. The Proposer understands and agrees that its failure to complete the Contract within the required time will significantly impact the Procuring Agency, and that the impacts, costs, and other damages resulting from that failure are impossible to reasonably quantify in advance. The Proposer therefore agrees as follows: if the Proposer fails to deliver the supplies or perform the services within the time specified in the Contract, the Proposer shall pay Liquidated Damages to the Procuring Agency of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per calendar day of delay per coach. If the Procuring Agency terminates the Contract, in whole or in part, under the Disputes, Defaults, and Remedies section of the Contract, the Proposer shall be liable for Liquidated Damages accruing until the Procuring Agency reasonably obtains delivery or performance of similar supplies or services from a substitute vendor. These Liquidated Damages are in addition to, not in lieu of, the excess costs to the Procuring Agency of repurchase that the Proposer will also be liable for. The Proposer will not be charged with Liquidated Damages if there is a delay in delivery or performance beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Proposer, as defined in the Force Majeure clause in the Contract. The Procuring Agency may withhold all payments due under the Contract until the Proposer’s liability for Liquidated Damages has been satisfied in full. The Procuring Agency's receipt of payment for Liquidated Damages does not preclude the Procuring Agency from pursuing any other rights or remedies available to it under the Contract, in accordance with Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or otherwise in accordance with Florida law. 7.PROPOSER REVIEW OF SOLICITATION AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. By submitting a Proposal, the Proposer represents that it has fully informed itself as to: (i) the conditions to be encountered; (ii) the character, quality, and quantities of work to be performed; (iii) the goods and materials to be furnished; and (iv) all of the requirements of the Solicitation and Contract documents, including the plans, specifications, and the labor and security conditions under which the Contract is to be performed. The Proposer shall not be relieved of its obligation to furnish all goods, materials, equipment, labor, and services necessary to complete the Contract by reason of having failed to inform itself wit h respect to those matters.

Throughout this Contract, all references to the term "work" include all requirements of the specifications, regardless of whether it involves the provision of goods or services or both. 2.Performance of Services. All of the services shall be performed by the Supplier and its authorized subcontractors as identified by the Supplier in the Schedule of Subsuppliers/Subcontractors Form. Notwithstanding the use of one or more subcontractors by the Supplier, the Supplier acknowledges and agrees that all of the services performed and to be performed hereunder shall be the sole responsibility of the Supplier, and Supplier hereby agrees that it warrants all such work as if such work had been performed directly by the Supplier. 3.Order of Precedence. All of the terms and conditions of the Solicitation are hereby incorporated herein in full. In the event of a conflict between the terms of any of the following, the more stringent requirement shall apply. If the conflict cannot be resolved by following the most stringent requirement, the following order of precedence shall govern: (1) Section VI of the Solicitation that contains the required clauses for federally- assisted contracts, when applicable; (2) properly authorized written Contract Amendments; (3) properly authorized Purchase Orders; (4) this Contract; (5) the Specifications; (6) Special Conditions; (7) the Solicitation Addenda, if any; and (8) the Solicitation. As between the drawings and other specifications, the drawings take precedence over other specifications as to quantity and location and the specifications take precedence over drawings as to quality of materials and workmanship. 4.Review of Work. Any review of the work by the Authority, its other suppliers, or its partner agencies, including the City of Jacksonville, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), is for the sole benefit of the Authority. No such review, acceptance, or approval to proceed to the next level of service, nor the payment of any invoice (including the last invoice, release of retainage, or acceptance of final reports or plans and specifications) shall be deemed to constitute: (1) detailed review or checking of design, details, or accuracy of the Supplier's work; (2) a professional approval by the Authority; or (3) a release of the Supplier from any of its obligations and responsibilities for the accuracy of the plans and specifications. The Authority's review, approval, acceptance of, or payment for any of the services under this Contract shall not constitute a waiver of any of the Authority's rights under this Contract or any cause of action it may have arising out of this Contract. 5.Contract Amendment(s). If any modification to the Contract or a Purchase Order is required, the Parties shall execute an Amendment before the Supplier begins performing any additional or changed tasks associated therewith. Reference herein to the Contract includes all Amendments, if any. The Supplier will only be entitled to adjustments to compensation and/or contract time if such adjustments are included in an Amendment. When possible, all Amendments shall be based upon the previously agreed-to hourly rates or unit costs. In the event that the Supplier and the Authority are not able to reach an agreement as to the amount of compensation to be paid to the Supplier for supplemental or reduced work desired by the Authority, the Supplier shall continue to proceed with the supplemental or reduced work in a timely manner for the amount determined by the Authority to be reasonable. In such event, the Supplier will have the right to submit the dispute to the Vice President of Administration for resolution in accordance with the Disputes Section 9 Paragraph 5 below; however, in no event will the resolution of the dispute through the courts or otherwise, relieve the Supplier from the obligation to timely perform the supplemental work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authority has the right to terminate the Contract if the Parties fail to reach an agreement on an Amendment. 6. Standard of Care and Quality of Goods. The Supplier shall perform (and cause all subcontractors to perform) all services in a manner that is consistent with the level of reasonable care, skill, judgment and ability provided by others providing a similar type of service in the same geographic area. The standard of care shall not be altered by the application, interpretation, or construction of any other provision of this Contract or any document incorporated or referenced herein, including the Solicitation. Unless otherwise expressly allowed by the specifications, all items furnished by the Supplier in connection with the work performed hereunder must be completely new and free from defects. 7. Personnel. All of the personnel assigned by the Supplier and all subcontractors shall be qualified and authorized under state and local laws to perform the applicable services, whether by appropriate license, registration, certification, or other authorization. The Supplier shall not change its assigned Project management staff, delete any of the identified subcontractors, or engage additional companies as subcontractors hereunder, without prior written approval of the Authority. Supplier agrees that it will remove from assignment under this Contract any employee or subcontractor, upon request by the Authority, which may be with or without cause. Any such removal shall not necessarily reflect on the capability or competence of the individual or entity so removed. Nothing herein shall affect the status or responsibilities of the Supplier as an independent contractor solely responsible for the method, manner, and means chosen by it to perform hereunder. 8. Schedule(s). The Supplier agrees that time is of the essence for the performance of each of the Supplier's obligations hereunder. The Supplier shall complete the work in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Solicitation and provide schedule progress reports, if applicable, in a format acceptable to the Authority and at intervals established by the Authority. The Authority will be entitled at all times to be advised, at its request, as to the status of work being performed by the Supplier and of the details thereof. Either Party may request and be granted a conference. If, at any time prior to completion of the work, the Supplier determines that the work is not progressing according to the schedule, the Supplier shall immediately notify the Authority in writing and shall provide a description of the cause of the delay, the effect on the schedule, and the recommended action to meet the schedule. An extension of time for performance shall be the Supplier's sole and exclusive remedy for any delay of any kind or nature caused by the Authority. 9. Corrections and Clarifications. Upon request by the Authority, the Supplier shall promptly make any revisions or corrections that resulted from any error and/or omission by the Supplier or subcontractors, and shall clarify any ambiguities, without additional compensation. Acceptance of the work by the Authority shall not relieve the Supplier of the responsibility for subsequent corrections and clarifications. At any time during any phase of work for which the Supplier or any of its subcontractors has performed services for the Authority, or during any phase of work performed by others, based on data furnished by the Supplier to the Authority, the Supplier shall confer with the Authority for the purpose of interpreting the information furnished and/or to correct any errors and/or omissions made by the Supplier or its subcontractors. The Supplier shall perform all services necessary to correct its or its subcontractors’ errors and/or omissions without additional compensation, even though final payment may have been received therefore. If any work or service contains an error, omission, deficiency, or mistake, the Authority may back-charg e against the Supplier all reasonable costs incurred in identifying, documenting, and remedying any such error, omission, deficiency, or mistake. Such back-charge amounts may be deducted from any payment(s) due the Supplier. If the payment(s) due the Supplier are not sufficient to cover such amount(s), the Supplier shall pay the difference to the Authority. The Supplier shall be liable, and shall reimburse the Authority, for any and all expenses incurred by the Authority, above those that would normally be experienced if the Supplier’s or its subcontractors’ errors and/or omissions had not occurred. II.Compensation, Invoices, and Terms of Payment 1.The Supplier shall deliver invoices to the Authority on a monthly basis for the work performed hereunder, in detail sufficient for a proper pre-audit and post-audit thereof.

The Supplier shall also provide separate Certificates of Origin for each component part contained in any and all manufactured goods delivered or utilized by the Supplier in any work or Project under this Contract. Certificates of Origin must accompany all related invoices that the Supplier submits to the Authority for payment. If the Supplier fails to submit required Certificates of Origin with its invoices, the Authority may withhold payments due the Supplier until the Supplier has complied therewith. 5.The general cost principles and procedures for the negotiation and administration, and the determination or allowance of costs under this Contract will be as set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, Titles 23, 48, 49, Rule Chapter 14-75, Florida Administrative Code, and other pertinent federal and state regulations, as applicable, with the understanding that there is no conflict between state regulations and federal regulations in that the more restrictive of the applicable regulations will govern. 6.Records of costs incurred under the terms of this Contract shall be maintained by the Supplier and upon written request, made available to the Authority at all times during the period of this Contract and for five (5) years after final payment is made for the work pursuant to this Contract. Copies of these documents and records shall be furnished to the Authority upon request. 7. Records of costs incurred will include: (1) the Supplier's general accounting records and Project records; (2) supporting documents and records of the Supplier and all subcontractors within the scope of this Contract; and (3) all other records related to the Contract that are considered necessary by the Authority for a proper audit of costs. 8. The Authority will have the right to retain, out of any payment due the Supplier under this Contract, an amount sufficient to satisfy any amount due and owing to the Authority by the Supplier on this Contract or any other agreement between the Supplier and the Authority. The Authority may withhold payment on any invoice in accordance with the Liquidated Damages provision, if any, or if none, the Authority may withhold the amount of its actual damages when the Supplier is in default under any provision of this Contract, or when the Authority determines that the schedule cannot be met and an extension of time is not warranted. The Authority may also withhold payment when payment fro m the Supplier is due in connection with indemnification or any other agreement between the Supplier and the Authority. This right to withhold payments will continue until such time as the Authority has been made whole. 9. All invoices requesting payment for subcontractor's services, supplier's services, reimbursable items, or expense items, must have copies of actual invoices or receipts attached which support the amounts invoiced, in such form and with such supporting detail as the Authority may require. 10. The Authority shall have the right, but not the obligation, based upon sworn statements of accounts from the subcontractors, and in accordance with the Supplier's written request, to pay a specific amount directly to a subcontractor. In such event, the Supplier agrees that any such payments shall be treated as a direct payment to the Supplier’s account. 11. The Authority shall make payments to the Supplier based upon the approved invoices and supporting documentation and deliverables within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Authority of a complete invoice. All invoices shall be sent to the attention of the Accounts Payable Office at accountspayable@jtafla.com, and shall include back-up documentation as required by the Authority, including the applicable Supplier Request for Payment Form (“Exhibit C”). Invoice payment requirements do not start until a properly completed invoice is provided to the Authority. If an invoice is not approved, in whole or in part, the Authority will inform the Supplier of the issue and Supplier will not be paid until the issue has been resolved to the satisfaction of the Authority. 12. Prompt Payment Discounts. Discounts for early payment may be offered either in the original Proposal or on individual invoices submitted under the Contract. Discounts that are included in the Proposal become a part of the Contract and are binding on the Supplier for all invoices submitted under the Contract. If the Supplier has offered a prompt payment discount, the Authority will only apply discounts that equal or exceed two percent (2%) of the invoice amount for payments that are made between ten (10) and twenty-nine (29) days after the Authority's receipt of a complete, acceptable invoice. For purposes of this Paragraph, time shall be computed from the date the invoice was received by the Authority and payment shall be considered to have been made on the date which appears on the payment check. 13. All compensation for services under a particular work or Purchase Order is subject to and contingent upon the availability of the federal, state, and/or local funding source that is applicable to the work or Purchase Order. 14. The acceptance of final payment by the Supplier shall be a full release of the Authority and its members, officers, agents, and employees for any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Contract. The Supplier hereby waives all indirect, incidental, special, and consequential damages in any proceeding arising out of or relating to this Contract. III. Ownership of Documents and Inspection of Work 1.

In addition to the inspection and audit rights set forth herein, the Authority, its agents, and employees may perform inspections of the work at any reasonable time and at any stage of production. Such inspection or failure to inspect on any occasion shall not affect the Authority's rights, or the Supplier's obligations, under warranty or other provisions of this Contract, nor shall such inspection be deemed acceptance of services. IV. Term of Contract and Termination 1. This Contract shall commence upon execution by the Authority and shall be effective for the following five (5) years. 2. The Authority may terminate this Contract, in whole or in part, by delivering to the Supplier a written Notice of Termination. The Authority may terminate the Contract for its convenience or for failure of the Supplier to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, the Supplier’s failure to complete work within the required time or the Supplier’s failure to diligently proceed with the work to the satisfaction of the Authority.

In the event applicable law renders any provision of this Section unenforceable, then solely to the extent necessary to conform such provision to the requirements of law to remedy such unenforceable matter, such provision is deemed revised so as to be enforceable under law. 3. In addition to the Supplier's indemnification obligation, the Supplier shall be responsible for all liability for loss or damages, and it shall also be responsible for the payment of any fines imposed by any federal, state, or local agency as a result of the Supplier's actions or failure to act. IX.Disputes, Defaults and Remedies 1.Liquidated Damages. The Parties recognize that it is of utmost importance for the Supplier to complete the Contract within the time specified herein. The Supplier understands and agrees that its failure to complete the Contract within the required time will significantly impact the Authority, and that the impacts, costs, and other damages resulting from that failure are impossible to reasonably quantify in advance. The Supplier therefore agrees as follows: if the Supplier fails to perform the services within the time specified in this Contract, the Supplier shall pay Liquidated Damages to the Authority of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per calendar day of delay. If the Authority terminates this Contract, in whole or in part, under the Disputes, Defaults, and Remedies Section of this Contract, the Supplier shall be liable for Liquidated Damages accruing until the Authority reasonably obtains delivery or performance of similar supplies or services from a substitute vendor. These Liquidated Damages are in addition to, not in lieu of, the excess costs to the Authority of repurchase that the Supplier will also be liable for. The Supplier will not be charged with Liquidated Damages if there is a delay in delivery or performance beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Supplier, as defined in the Force Majeure clause in this Contract. The Authority may withhold all payments due under the Contract until the Supplier’s liability for Liquidated Damages has been satisfied in full. The Authority's receipt of payment for Liquidated Damages does not preclude the Authority from pursuing any other rights or remedies available to it under the Contract, in accordance with Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, or otherwise in accordance with Florida law. 2.Upon a breach of any of the obligations of the Supplier or the Authority hereunder, the non-breaching Party shall have all of the rights and remedies provided under law, including, but not limited to the rights and remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Florida, if applicable, as well as those referenced in 49 CFR Part 18 and FTA Circular 4220.1F, as revised. In addition, the non-breaching Party shall have all of the other rights and remedies specified elsewhere in this Contract. 3.During any dispute, unless otherwise directed by the Authority, the Supplier shall continue to diligently perform the work while matters in dispute are outstanding, unless a Notice of Termination has been issued by the Authority. 4.Should the Supplier suffer injury or damage to person or property because of any act or omission of the Authority, or any of the Authority’s employees, agents, or others for whose acts the Authority is legally liable, a claim for damages therefore shall be made in writing to the Authority within fourteen (14) days after the first observance of such injury or damage. The failure to timely submit a written claim shall result in a waiver the Supplier's claim. 5.Disputes arising in the performance of this Contract shall be decided in writing by the Authority's Vice President of Administration, and the decision rendered shall be final and conclusive for the Authority. 6.Mandatory Mediation. All disputes arising out of or relating to this Contract shall be subject to mandatory pre-suit mediation under the auspices of a mediator to be selected by the Parties. Mediation must occur before a lawsuit is filed. Discovery prior to the scheduled mediation shall be limited to one (1) request for production of documents and two (2) depositions per Party not exceeding eight (8) hours total time per deposition. Each Party shall equally bear the costs of mediation and shall be solely responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and other legal costs prior to and during the mediation process. In the event the case does not settle at mediation, the Parties may re-depose either or both witnesses on non-repetitive matters. The Supplier acknowledges that the Authority may not have present at any such mediation a person or persons authorized to bind the Authority. If the mediation fails to produce a settlement, and the amount in controversy is below seventy-five t housand dollars ($75,000.00), the Parties may agree to submit the dispute to fast-track arbitration with an AAA arbitration panel.

Accordingly, at the time of submission of final application for payment, Supplier/Vendor shall submit an additional Certificate of Insurance evidencing continuation of such coverage. If the Supplier/Vendor fails to procure, maintain or pay for the required insurance, Jacksonville Transportation Authority shall have the right (but not the obligation) to secure same in the name of and for the account of Supplier/Vendor, in which event, Supplier/Vendor shall pay the cost thereof and shall furnish upon demand, all information that may be required to procure such insurance.

Supplier/Vendor shall be responsible for determining appropriate inclusions, coverage and limits, which may be in excess of the minimum requirements set forth herein. If t he insurance of any Supplier/Vendor or any Sub-Supplier/Vendor contains deductible(s), penalty(ies) or self-insured retention(s), the Supplier/Vendor or Sub-Supplier/Vendor whose insurance contains such provision(s) shall be solely responsible for payment of such deductible(s), penalty(ies) or self-insured retention(s). The failure of Supplier/Vendor to fully and strictly comply at all times with the insurance requirements set forth herein shall be deemed a material breach of the Agreement . 6.All Coverages: a.Each insurance policy required by this Contract shall be endorsed to state that no material change or cancellation, including expiration and non-renewal of coverage, shall be effective until after at least Thirty (30) days written notice has been given to: Jacksonville Transportation Authority, ATTN: Contracts, Procurement and Inventory Department, 121 West Forsyth Street, Suite 200, Jacksonville, Florida 32202. b.Failure to maintain a current Certificate of Insurance on file with the Authority will be grounds for withholding or rejecting payment of invoices. c.Not withstanding the prior submission of a Certificate of Insurance, if requested by the Authority, the Supplier shall, within t hirty (30) days after receipt of a written request from the Authority, provide the Authority with a certified complete copy of the policies providing the coverage required. d.If Supplier, for any reason, fails to maintain insurance coverage, which is required pursuant to this Contract, such event shall be deemed a material breach of this Contract. The Authority, at its sole discretion, may terminate this Contract and obtain damages from the Supplier resulting from said breach. Alternatively, the Authority may purchase such required insurance (but has no special obligation to do so) and without further notice to Supplier, the Authority may deduct from sums due to Supplier any premium costs advanced by the Authority for such insurance. e.It is the Supplier’s responsibility to ensure that its subcontractors are covered under the required insurance limits. The Supplier may either require its subcontractors to purchase insurance coverage set forth herein individually, or it may include the subcontractor under the Supplier’s insurance program. f.Neither approval by the Authority nor failure to disapprove the insurance furnished by the Supplier shall relieve the Supplier of the Supplier's full responsibility to obtain and maintain the insurance policies as required by this Contract. g.Compliance with the insurance requirements of this Contract shall not limit the liability of the Supplier. Any remedy provided to the Authority, members of its Board of Directors, committees, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers by the insurance policies shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedy available under this Contract or otherwise. h.The cost of insurance shall be included in the Supplier's fees, and there shall not be any further compensation or reimbursement therefore. XI.Public Entity Crimes The Authority reserves the right to terminate this Contract effective immediately upon written notice in the event that the Supplier or any of its affiliate(s) are placed on the State of Florida convicted vendor list pursuant to Section 287.133, Florida Statutes. For purposes hereof, "affiliate" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes. The Supplier shall advise the Authority promptly after conviction of any "public entity crime" as defined in Section 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, applicable to the Supplier or any of its affiliate(s). XII.Equal Employment Opportunity and Nondiscrimination 1.The Contractor will comply with all federal, state, and local laws and ordinances applicable to the work or payment for work thereof, and will not discriminate on the grounds of race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, genetic information, national origin, age, disability, religion, family status or other protected class in the performance of work under this Contract.

When a DBE goal has been established, the Supplier shall submit monthly reports detailing payments to all subcontractors and suppliers, both DBE and non-DBE, in a format that is acceptable to the Authority. The Supplier shall fully cooperate with all audits, whenever performed. Failure to comply with these mandates may result in an unsatisfactory audit analysis and may have a bearing on future consideration for the award of Authority agreements. “Exhibit C”, the Supplier Request for Payment Form, must be submitted with every invoice presented for progress or final payment, and must show the portion of the invoice due to each subcontractor (DBE and Non-DBE). In addition, when applicable, the Supplier must submit a report detailing the following information as it relates to invoices received from its DBE-certified subcontractors: A.The value of the work actually performed by the DBE employees and representatives; and B.The entire amount of the DBE subcontractor’s portion of the invoice.

All supporting DBE documentation including but not limited to the invoice, the monthly reports detailing payments made to DBE subcontractors, and the Supplier Request for Payment Form included as “Exhibit C” must be emailed to DBE1@jtafla.com. Failure to submit the required documentation may result in a delay in payment. This contract is subject to contract compliance payment tracking, and the prime contractor and any DBE subcontractors shall provide any noted and/or requested contract compliance-related payment data electronically in the B2GNow Contract Compliance Program System. The prime contractor and all DBE subcontractors are responsible for responding by any noted response audit date or due date to any instructions or request for information, and to check the B2GNow Contract Compliance Program System on a regular basis. The prime contractor is responsible for ensuring all DBE subcontractors have completed all requested items and that their contact information is up-to-date. Access information related to contractor access of the system will be provided to a designated point of contact with each contractor upon award of the contract. The B2GNow Contract Compliance Program System is web-based and Contract Compliance Reporting – Vendor Training and can be accessed at the following Internet address: https://jtafla.dbesystem.com/FrontEnd/EventList.asp). 4.DBE sub subcontractors. At times, due to the size of a subcontract, a DBE may choose to enter into alternate arrangements with other businesses. Reporting of work done and applied towards DBE goals for the Project is limited by the following constraints: A.If a DBE subcontracts a portion of its contracted responsibilities to another business, that business must also be a DBE in order for the value of the work to be counted towards the DBE participation goals established by the Authority. B.If the DBE participates in the work as part of a joint venture, only that portion of the work done by the DBE shall be reported towards DBE goals. 5.Modifications and Substitutions. The Supplier shall not make any modification, change or substitution of subcontractors as outlined in the Proposal, without the knowledge and consent of the Authority's DBE Office. In the event that any of such firms identified by the Supplier in its Supplier in the Schedule of Sub-suppliers Form become unavailable therefore, the Supplier shall replace such firm with another similarly designated firm. Such replacement, including by the Supplier’s own forces, may only be made with the prior written approval of the Authority, which may be withheld in the event that the Authority determines, in its sole discretion, that the Supplier has not made good faith efforts to either work with the subcontractor for whom replacement is sought o r to find a minority certified replacement (under the appropriate program) for such subcontractor. If the Supplier desires to terminate or substitute a DBE subcontractor listed in its “Supplier in the Schedule of Sub-suppliers Form” and intends to perform the work of the terminated DBE subcontractor with either its own forces or those of another subcontractor, it must first submit to the Authority’s DBE Office a Request for Approval of Change to Original List of Subcontractors, along with written documentation explaining the specific reasons for the change. The Supplier must obtain approval from the Authority prior to the substitution of the original DBE subcontractor. If a terminated DBE subcontractor is substituted by another DBE subcontractor, the Supplier should include the name, address, certification number, and principal office of the proposed DBE business. The Supplier must make good faith efforts to replace one DBE with another. In the event that the Supplier is unable to contract with another DBE business, Good Faith Effort documentation must be provided to the Authority, describing the attempts to locate a substitute DBE. In all situations, the Supplier may not terminate or substitute a DBE subcontractor without the prior written consent of the Authority's DBE Office. If the Authority approves the proposed substitution in writing, the Supplier shall execute a subcontract with the proposed DBE business upon receipt of the substitution approval. If the change involves a modification to the original list of subcontractors, the Supplier must submit, if applicable, a completed Intent to Perform as a DBE Subcontractor Form for any DBE subcontractor added by the change. 6. Compliance and Enforcement. Before final payment will be made by the Authority, t he Supplier shall provide the final accounting of DBE participation. The Authority may withhold payment to the Supplier pending compliance with this closeout requirement. Any reduction or change by the Supplier in a DBE subcontract, in the total DBE part icipation, or in DBE subcontractors, without the prior written approval of the Authority's DBE Office, will be considered an unauthorized DBE subcontractor substitution and will not be counted as participation. A DBE subcontract dollar value that is decreased by a change order or Amendment issued by the Authority will not constitute an unauthorized subcontractor substitution. The Supplier’s failure to comply with the DBE participation requirements or any other part of the DBE program may result in termination of the Contract and may also result in the Authority issuing an unfavorable performance review of the Supplier. The Authority may consider the Supplier’s failure to comply when evaluating the Supplier for subsequent contracts and work orders. The Supplier may submit an explanation to be retained with the Contract file to document the reasons for its failure to comply with the DBE requirements.

If the Contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the Contractor also is subject to the goals for both its federally involved and non-federally involved construction. The Contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR part 60-4 shall be based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the Contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorit ies and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor or from project to project for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the Contract, the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR part 60-4. Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed. c.The Contractor shall provide written notification to the Director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs within 10 working days of award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the Contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address and telephone number of the subcontractor; employer identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar amount of the subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of the subcontract; and the geographical area in which the subcontract is to be performed. d.As used in this Notice, and in the Contract resulting from this solicitation, the “covered area” is Duval County, Florida. 2.Additional Equal Opportunity Clauses for Construction Contracts a.The equal opportunity clause published at 41 CFR 60-1.4(a) and published at 41 CFR 60-1.4(b) are incorporated herein by reference. In addition to those clauses, the following applies to all construction contracts and subcontracts in excess of $10,000. STANDARD FEDERAL EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT SPECIFICATIONS (Executive Order 11246) i.As used in these specifications: 1.“Covered area” means the geographical area described in the solicitation from which this contract resulted; 2.“Director” means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, United States Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director delegates authority; 3.“Employer identification number” means the Federal Social Security number used on the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941. 4.“Minority” includes: a.Black (all persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin); b.Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish Culture or origin, regardless of race); c.Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and d.Amer ican Indian or Alaskan Native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or community identification). ii.Whenever the Contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this Contract resulted. iii.If the Contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S. Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors must be able to demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each Contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved Plan is individually required to comply with its obligations under the EEO clause, and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other Contractors or subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered Contractor's or subcontractor's failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan go als and timetables. iv.The Contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 7 a through p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this Contract resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and female utilization the Contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which it has employees in the covered area. Covered Construction contractors performing construction work in geographical areas where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted construction contract shall apply the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement contracting officers. The Contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its goals in each craft during the period specified. v.Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement, nor the failure by a union with whom the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement, to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the Contractor's obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246, or the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. vi.In order for the nonworking training hours of apprentices and trainees to be counted in meeting the goals, such apprentices and trainees must be employed by the Contractor during the training period, and the Contractor must have made a commitment to employ the apprentices and trainees at the completion of their training, subject to the availability of employment opportunities. Trainees must be trained pursuant to training programs approved by the U.S. Department of Labor. vii.The Contractor shall take specific affirmative actions to ensure equal employment opportunity. The evaluation of the Contractor's compliance with these specifications shall be based upon its effort to achieve maximum results from its actions. The Contractor shall document these efforts fully, and shall implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following: 1.Ensure and maintain a working environment free of harassment, intimidation, and coercion at all sites, and in all facilities at which the Contractor's employees are assigned to work. The Contractor, where possible, will assign two or more women to each construction project. The Contractor shall specifically ensure that all foremen, superintendents, and other on-site supervisory personnel are aware of and carry out the Contractor's obligation to maintain such a working environment, with specific attention to minority or female individuals working at such sites or in such facilities. 2.Est ablish and maintain a current list of minority and female recruitment sources, provide written notification to minority and female recruitment sources and to community organizations when the Contractor or its unions have employment opportunities available, and maintain a record of the organizations' responses. 3.Maintain a current file of the names, addresses and telephone numbers of each minority and female off-the- street applicant and minority or female referral from a union, a recruitment source or community organization and of what action was taken with respect to each such individual. If such individual was sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the Contractor by the union or, if referred, not employed by the Contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefor, along with whatever additional actions the Contractor may have taken. 4.Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the Contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the Contractor a minority person or woman sent by the Contractor, or when the Contractor has other information that the union referral process has impeded the Contractor's efforts to meet its obligations. 5.Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee programs relevant to the Contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved by the Department of Labor. The Contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources compiled under 7b above. 6.Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the Contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company newpaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed. 7.Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these specifications with all employees having any responsibility for hiring, assignment, layoff, termination or other employment decisions including specific review of these items with onsite supervisory personnel such as Superintendents, General Foremen, etc., prior to the initiation of construction work at any job site. A written record shall be made and maintained identifying the time and place of these meetings, persons attending, subject matter discussed, and disposition of the subject matter. 8.Disseminate the Contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written notification to and discussing the Contractor's EEO policy with other Contractors and subcontractors with whom the Contractor does or anticipates doing business. 9.Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female and community organizations, to schools with minority and female students and to minority and female recruitment and training organizations serving the Contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment source, the Contractor shall send written notification to organizations such as the above, describing the openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process. 10.Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and, where reasonable, provide after school, summer and vacation employment to minority and fe male youth both on the site and in other areas of a Contractor's work force. 11.Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR part 60-3. 12.Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities. 13.Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments and other personnel practices, do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the Contractor's obligations under these specifications are being carried out. 14.Ensure that all facilities and company activities are non- segregated except that separate or single-user toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes. 15.Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female contractor associations and other business associations. 16.Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisors' adherence to and performance under the Contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action obligations. viii.Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations which assist in fulfilling one or more of their affirmative action obligations (7a through p). The efforts of a contractor association, joint contractor-union, contractor-community, or other similar group of which the Contractor is a member and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 7a through p of these Specifications provided that the Contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry, ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the Contractor's minority and female workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the Contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the Contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the Contractor's noncomp liance. ix.A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The Contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, bot h minority and non-minority. Consequently, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally, the Contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized). x. The Contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, age, disability, or family status. xi. The Contractor shall not enter into any Subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246. xii. The Contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any Contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended. xiii. The Contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8. xiv. The Contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions hereof as may be requ ired by the Government and to keep records.

Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the applicable programs. ii. 1. The Contractor shall submit weekly for each week in which any Contract work is performed a copy of all payrolls to the Authority for transmission to the Federal Transit Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the information required to be maintained under section 5.5(a) (3) (i) of Regulations, 29 CFR part 5. This information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH-347 is available for this purpose and may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The prime Contractor is responsible for the submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors. 2.

Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12. d.Apprentices and trainees – i.Apprentices - Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice. The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be greater than the ratio permitted to the Contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program. Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a Contractor is performing construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the Contractor's or subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. ii.Trainees - Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a training program, the Contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved. iii.Equal employment opportunity - The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order 11246, as amended, and 29 CFR part 30. e.Compliance with Copeland Act requirements - The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR part 3, which are incorporated by reference in this Contract. f.Subcontracts - The Contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Federal Transit Administration may by appropriate instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower tier subcontracts. The prime Contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5. g.Contract termination: debarment - A breach of the contract clauses in 29 CFR 5.5 may be grounds for termination of the contract, and for debarment as a Contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12. h.Compliance with Davis-Bacon and Related Act requirements - All rulings and interpretations of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR parts 1, 3, and 5 are herein incorporated by reference in this Contract. i.Disputes concerning labor standards - Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this Contract shall not be subject to the general disputes clause of this Contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR parts 5, 6, and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause include disputes between the Contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S. Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives. j.Certification of eligibility – i.By entering into this Contract, the Contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1). ii.No part of this Contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis-Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1). iii.The penalty for making false statements is prescribed in the U.S. Criminal Code, 18 U.S.C. 1001.

proposal, please note where indicated, whether your proposal exceeds, meets, or does not meet the technical specification. Provide comments explaining your response. Each response should be in RED. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL TS 1. Scope Technical specifications define requirements for heavy-dut y transit buses and commuter coaches, which, by the selection of specifically identified alternative configurations, may be used for both suburban express service and general service on urban arterial streets. Buses shall have a minimum expected life of twelve (12) years or 500,000 miles, whichever comes first, and are intended for the widest possible spectrum of passengers, including children, adults, the elderly and people with disabili ties. TS 2. Definitions Alternative: An alternative specification condition to the default bus configuration. The Agency may define alternatives to the default configuration to satisfy local operating requirements. Alternatives for the default configuration will be clearly identified. Ambient Temperature: The temperature of the surrounding air. For testing purposes, ambient temperature must be between 16°C (50°F) and 38°C (100°F). Analog Signals: A continuously variable signal that is solely dependent upon magn itude to express information content. NOTE: Analog signals are used to represent the state of variable devices such as rheostats, potentiometers, temperature probes, etc. Audible Discrete Frequency: An audible discrete frequency is determined to exist if the sound power level in any 1/3-octave band exceeds the average of the sound power levels of the two adjacent 1/3-octave bands by 4 decibels (dB) or more. Battery Compartment: Low-voltage energy storage, i.e. 12/24 VDC batteries. Battery Management System (BMS): Monitors energy, as well as temperature, cell or module voltages, and total pack voltage. The BMS adjusts the control strategy algorithms to maintain the batteries at uniform state of charge and optimal temperatures. Braking Resistor: Device that converts electrical energy into heat, typically used as a retarder to supplement or replace the regenerative braking. Burst Pressure: The highest pressure reached in a container during a burst test. Capacity (fuel container): The water volume of a container in gallons (liters). Cells: Individual components (i.e., battery or capacitor cells). Code: A legal requirement. Combination Gas Relief Device: A relief device that is activated by a combination of high pressures or high temperatures, acting either indep endently or together. Composite Container for CNG: A container fabricated of two or more materials that interact to facilitate the container design criteria. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): Mixtures of hydrocarbon gases and vapors consisting principally of methane in gaseous form that has been compressed for use as a vehicular fuel. Container: A pressure vessel, cylinder or cylinders permanently manifolded together, used to store CNG.

WR 1.4 Fleet Defects WR 1.4.1 Occurrence and Remedy A Fleet Defect is defined as cumulative failures of twenty-five (25) percent of the same components in the same or similar application in a minimum fleet size of twelve (12) or more buses where such items are covered by warranty. A Fleet Defect shall apply only to the base warranty period in sections entitled “Complete Bus,” “Propulsion System” and “Major Subsystems.” When a Fleet Defect is declared, the remaining warranty on that item/component stops. The warranty period does not restart until the Fleet Defect is corrected. The contractor will notify the lead agency, or it’s designee, of all warranty claims within the same production year for all buses purchased off this contract. The lead agency, or its designee, will determine when these warranty claim reports shall be furnished by the Contractor. For the purpose of Fleet Defects, each option order shall be treated as a separate bus fleet. In addition, should there be a change in a major component within either the base order or an option order, the buses containing the new major component shall become a separate bus fleet for the purposes of Fleet Defects. The Contractor shall correct a Fleet Defect under the warranty provisions defined in “Repair Procedures.” After correcting the Defect, the Agency and the Contractor shall mutually agree to and the Contractor shall promptly undertake and complete a work program reasonably designed to prevent the occurrence of the same Defect in all other buses and spare parts purchased under this Contract . Where the specific Defect can be solely attributed to particular identifiable part(s), the work program shall include redesign and/or replacement of only the defectively designed and/or manufactured part(s). In all other cases, the work program shall include inspection and/or correction of all the buses in the fleet via a mutually agreed- to arrangement. The Contractor shall update, as necessary, technical support information (parts, ser vice and operator’s manuals) due to changes resulting from warranty repairs. The Agency may immediately declare a Defect in design resulting in a safety hazard to be a Fleet Defect. The Contractor shall be responsible to furnish, install and replace all defective units. That information will be shared with all contract participants. When it is determined that a field service representative is required onsite the contractor will have 36 hours to have the representative in place. The field service representat ive must be capable of performing technical repairs onsite. As a part of the corrective action pertaining to fleet defects the contractor will be required to send their field representative to each property with buses built in the production year that is experiencing the defect. WR 1.4.2 Exceptions to Fleet Defect Provisions The Fleet Defect component warranty provisions shall not apply to Agency-supplied items, such as radios, fare collection equipment, communication systems and tires. Repair Procedures WR 1.5 Repair Performance The Contractor is responsible for all warranty-covered repair Work. To the extent practicable, the Agency will allow the Contractor or its designated representative to perform such Work. At its discretion, the Agency may perform such Work if it determines it needs to do so based on transit service or other requirements. Such Work shall be reimbursed by the Contractor. WR 1.6 Repairs by the Contractor If the Agency detects a Defect within the warranty periods defined in this section, it shall, within thirty (30) days, notify the Contractor’s designated representative. The Contractor or its designated representative shall, if requested, begin Work on warranty-covered repairs within five calendar days after receiving notification of a Defect from the Agency. The Agency shall make the bus available to complete repairs timely with the Contractor’s repair schedule. The Contractor shall provide at its own expense all spare parts, tools and space required to complete repairs. At the Agency’s option, the Contractor may be required to remove the bus from the Agency’s property while repairs are being effected. If the bus is removed from the Agency’s property, then repair procedures must be diligently pursued by the Contractor’s representative. WR 1.7 Repairs by the Agency WR 1.7.1 Parts Used If the Agency performs the warranty-covered repairs, then it shall correct or repair the Defect and any Related Defects utilizing parts supplied by the Contractor specifically for this repair. At its discretion, the Agency may use Contractor-specified parts available from its own stock if deemed in its best interests. WR 1.7.2 Contractor-Supplied Parts The Agency may require that the Contractor supply parts for warranty-covered repairs being performed by the Agency. Those parts may be remanufactured but shall have the same form, fit and function, and warranty. The parts shall be shipped prepaid to the Agency from any source selected by the Contractor within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the request for said parts and shall not be subject to an Agency handling charge. WR 1.7.3 Defective Component Return The Contractor may request that parts covered by the warranty be returned to the manufacturing plant. The freight costs for this action shall be paid by the Contractor. Materials should be returned in accordance with the procedures outlined in “Warranty Processing Procedures.” WR 1.7.4 Failure Analysis The Contractor shall, upon specific request of the Agency, provide a failure analysis of Fleet Defect or safety -related parts, or major components, removed from buses under the terms of the warranty that could affect fleet operation. Such reports shall be delivered within 60 days of the receipt of failed parts. WR 1.7.5 Reimbursement for Labor and Other Related Costs The Agency shall be reimbursed by the Contractor for labor. The amou nt shall be determined by the Agency for a qualified mechanic at a straight time wage rate of $125.00 per hour, which includes fringe benefits and overhead adjusted for the Agency’s most recently published rate in effect at the time the Work is performed, plus the cost of towing the bus if such action was necessary and if the bus was in the normal service area. These wage and fringe benefit rates shall not exceed the rates in effect in the Agency’s service garage at the time the Defect correction is made. WR 1.7.6 Reimbursement for Parts The Agency shall be reimbursed by the Contractor for defective parts and for parts that must be replaced to correct the Defect. The reimbursement shall be at the current price at the time of repair and shall include taxes where applicable, plus 15 percent handling costs. Handling costs shall not be paid if parts are supplied by the Contractor and shipped to the Agency. WR 1.7.7 Reimbursement Requirements The Contractor shall respond to the warranty claim with an accept/reject decision including necessary failure analysis no later than thirty (30) days after the Agency submits the claim and defective part(s), when requested. Reimbursement for all accepted claims shall occur no later than thirty (30) days from the date of acceptance of a valid claim. The Agency may dispute rejected claims or claims for which the Contractor did not reimburse the full amount. The parties agree to review disputed warranty claims during the following quarter to reach an equitable decision to permit the disputed claim to be resolved and closed. The parties also agree to review all claims at least once per quarter throughout the entire warranty period to ensure that open claims are being tracked and properly dispositioned. WR 1.8 Warranty after Replacement/Repairs If any component, unit or subsystem is repaired, rebuilt or replaced by the Contractor or by the Agency with the concurrence of the Contractor, then the component, unit or subsystem shall have the unexpired warranty period of the original. Repairs shall not be warranted if Contractor -provided or authorized parts are not used for the repair, unless the Contractor has failed to respond within five days, in accordance with “Repairs by the C ontractor.” If an item is declared to be a Fleet Defect, then the warranty stops with the declaration of the Fleet Defect. Once the Fleet Defect is corrected, the item(s) shall have three (3) months or remaining time and/or miles of the original warranty, whichever is greater. This remaining warranty period shall begin on the repair/replacement date for corrected items on each bus if the repairs are completed by the Contractor or on the date the Contractor provides all parts to the Agency.

Warranty (On following pages) 214 of 272 P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Warranty Contractor Warranty Warranties in this document are in addition to any statutory remedies or warranties imposed on the Contractor. Consistent with this requirement, the Contractor warrants and guarantees to the Authority each complete bus and specific subsystems and components as follows. Performance requirements based on design criteria shall not be deemed a warranty item. Complete Bus The complete bus, propulsion system, components, major subsystems and body and chassis structure are warranted to be free from Defects and Related Defects for one year or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, beginning on the date of revenue service.” The warranty is based on regular operation of the bus under the operating conditions prevailing in the Agency’s locale. Body and Chassis Structure Body, body structure, structural elements of the suspension and engine cradle are warranted to be free from Defects and Related Defects for three years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Propulsion System Propulsion system components, including the engine, transmission or drive motors, and generators (for hybrid technology) and drive and non-drive axles shall be warranted to be free from Defects and Related Defects for the standard one years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. An Extended Warranty to a maximum of five years or 300,000 miles, whichever comes first, may be purchased at an additional cost. Contractor Warranty documentation will be provided with each bus order. Emission Control System (ECS) The Contractor warrants the emission control system for five years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The ECS shall include, but is not limited to, the following components: Complete exhaust system, including catalytic converter (if required) After treatment device Components identified as emission control devices Subsystems Other subsystems shall be warranted to be free from Defects and Related Defects for one years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The format of the list shall be approved by the Agency prior to delivery of the first production bus. Extension of Warranty If, during the warranty period, repairs or modifications on any bus are made necessary by defective design, materials or workmanship but are not completed due to lack of material or inability to provide the proper repair for thirty (30) calendar days, then the applicable warranty period shall be extended by the number of days equal to the delay period. 216 of 272 P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Voiding of Warranty The warranty shall not apply to the failure of any part or component of the bus that directly results from misuse, negligence, accident or repairs not conducted in accordance with the Contractor-provided maintenance manuals and with workmanship performed by adequately trained personnel in accordance with recognized standards of the industry. The warranty also shall be void if the Purchaser fails to conduct normal inspections and scheduled preventive maintenance procedures as recommended in the Contractor’s maintenance manuals and if that omission caused the part or component failure. The Purchaser shall maintain documentation, auditable by the Contractor, verifying service activities in conformance with the Contractor’s maintenance manuals. Exceptions and Additions to Warranty The warranty shall not apply to the following items: Scheduled maintenance items Normal wear-out items Items furnished by the Purchaser Should the Purchaser require the use of a specific product and has rejected the Contractor’s request for an alternate product, then the standard Contractor warranty for that product shall be the only warranty provided to the Purchaser. This product will not be eligible under “Fleet Defects,” below. The Contractor shall not be required to provide warranty information for any warranty that is less than or equal to the warranty periods listed. Pass-Through Warranty Should the Contractor elect to not administer warranty claims on certain components and wish to transfer this responsibility to the subcontractors, or to others, the Contractor shall request this waiver. Contractor shall state in writing that the Purchaser’s warranty reimbursements will not be impacted. The Contractor also shall state in writing any exceptions and reimbursement including all costs incurred in transport of vehicles and/or components. At any time during the warranty period, the Contractor may request approval from the Purchaser to assign its warranty obligations to others, but only on a case-by-case basis approved in writing by the Purchaser. Otherwise, the Contractor shall be solely responsible for the administration of the warranty as specified. Warranty administration by others does not eliminate the warranty liability and responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor will be responsible for settling all disputes with subcontractors. Superior Warranty The Contractor shall pass on to the Purchaser any warranty offered by a component Contractor that is superior to that required herein. The Contractor shall provide a list to the Purchaser noting the conditions and limitations of the Superior Warranty not later than the start of production. The Superior Warranty shall not be administered by the Contractor. 217 of 272 P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Fleet Defects Occurrence and Remedy A Fleet Defect is defined as cumulative failures of twenty-five (25) percent of the same components in the same or similar application in a minimum fleet size of twelve (12 ) or more buses where such items are covered by warranty. Fleet defect coverage is for a maximum of 12 months or 50,000 miles and includes all warrantable components and assemblies on the vehicle. When a Fleet defect is declared, the remaining warranty on that item/component stops. The warranty period does not restart until the Fleet Defect is corrected. The Contractor will notify the lead agency, or its designee, of all warranty claims within the same production year for all buses purchased off this contract. For the purpose of Fleet Defects, each option order shall be treated as a separate bus fleet. In addition, should there be a change in a major component within either the base order or an option order, the buses containing the new major component shall become a separate bus fleet for the purposes of Fleet Defects. The Contractor shall correct a Fleet Defect under the warranty provisions defined in “Repair Procedures.” After correcting the Defect, the Purchaser and the Contractor shall mutually agree to and the Contractor shall promptly undertake and complete a work program reasonably designed to prevent the occurrence of the same Defect in all other buses and spare parts purchased under this Contract. Where the specific Defect can be solely attributed to particular identifiable part(s), the work program shall include redesign and/or replacement of only the defectively designed and/or manufactured part(s). In all other cases, the work program shall include inspection and/or correction of all the buses in the fleet via a mutually agreed-to arrangement. The Contractor shall update, as necessary, technical support information (parts, service and operator’s manuals) due to changes resulting from warranty repairs. The Purchaser may immediately declare a Defect in design resulting in a safety hazard to be a Fleet Defect. The Contractor shall be responsible to furnish, install and replace all defective units. That information will be shared with all contract participants. When it is determined that a field service representative is required onsite the expectation is that the Contractor will have 48 hours to have the representative in place. The field service representative must be capable of performing technical repairs onsite. As a part of the corrective action pertaining to fleet defects the Contractor will be required to assist and/or send their field representative to each property with buses built in the production year that is experiencing the defect. Exceptions to Fleet Defect Provisions The Fleet Defect component warranty provisions shall not apply to Purchaser-supplied items, such as radios, fare collection equipment, communication systems and tires. In addition, Fleet Defects shall not apply to interior and exterior finishes, hoses, fittings and fabric. Repair Procedures Repair Performance The Contractor is responsible for all warranty-covered repair Work. To the extent practicable, the Purchaser will allow the Contractor or its designated representative to perform such Work. At its discretion, the Purchaser may perform such Work if it determines it needs to do 218 of 272 P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses so based on transit service or other requirements. Such Work shall be reimbursed by the Contractor. Repairs by the Contractor If the Purchaser detects a Defect within the warranty periods defined in this section, it shall, within thirty (30) days, notify the Contractor’s designated representative. The Contractor or its designated representative shall, if requested, begin Work on warranty-covered repairs within five calendar days after receiving notification of a Defect from the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall make the bus available to complete repairs timely with the Contractor’s repair schedule. The Contractor shall provide at its own expense all spare parts, tools and space required to complete repairs. At the Purchaser’s option, the Contractor may be required to remove the bus from the Purchaser’s property while repairs are being effected. If the bus is removed from the Purchaser’s property, then repair procedures must be diligently pursued by the Contractor’s representative. Repairs by the Purchaser Parts Used If the Purchaser performs the warranty-covered repairs, then it shall correct or repair the Defect and any Related Defects utilizing parts supplied by the Contractor specifically for this repair. At its discretion, the Purchaser may use Contractor-specified parts available from its own stock if deemed in its best interests. Contractor-Supplied Parts The Purchaser may require that the Contractor supply parts for warranty-covered repairs being performed by the Purchaser. Those parts may be remanufactured but shall have the same form, fit and function, and warranty. The parts shall be shipped prepaid to the Purchaser from any source selected by the Contractor within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the request for said parts and shall not be subject to a Purchaser handling charge. Defective Component Return The Contractor may request that parts covered by the warranty be returned to the manufacturing plant. The freight costs for this action shall be paid by the Contractor. Materials should be returned in accordance with the procedures outlined in “Warranty Processing Procedures.” Failure Analysis The Contractor shall, upon specific request of the Purchaser, provide a failure analysis of Fleet Defect or safety-related parts, or major components, removed from buses under the terms of the warranty that could affect fleet operation. Such reports shall be delivered within 60 days of the receipt of failed parts. Reimbursement for Labor and Other Related Costs Reimbursement for Labor of an approved warranty related claim shall be determined by each agency for a qualified mechanic at a loaded straight time wage rate not to exceed $95 per hour. Reimbursement for towing is covered under the applicable extended warranty provisions for the selected components and only if towing is a provision of the components extended warranty program and purchased by the agency. 219 of 272 P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Reimbursement for Parts The Purchaser shall be reimbursed by the Contractor for defective parts and for parts that must be replaced to correct the Defect. The reimbursement shall be at the current price at the time of repair and shall include taxes where applicable, plus 15 percent handling costs. Handling costs shall not be paid if parts are supplied by the Contractor and shipped to the Purchaser. Reimbursement Requirements The Contractor shall respond to the warranty claim with an accept/reject decision including necessary failure analysis no later than thirty (30) days after the Purchaser submits the claim and defective part(s), when requested. Reimbursement for all accepted claims shall occur no later than thirty (30) days from the date of acceptance of a valid claim. The Purchaser may dispute rejected claims or claims for which the Contractor did not reimburse the full amount. The parties agree to review disputed warranty claims during the following quarter to reach an equitable decision to permit the disputed claim to be resolved and closed. The parties also agree to review all claims at least once per quarter throughout the entire warranty period to ensure that open claims are being tracked and properly dispositioned. Warranty after Replacement/Repairs If any component, unit or subsystem is repaired, rebuilt or replaced by the Contractor or by the Purchaser with the concurrence of the Contractor, then the component, unit or subsystem shall have the unexpired warranty period of the original. Repairs shall not be warranted if Contractor-provided or authorized parts are not used for the repair, unless the Contractor has failed to respond within five days, in accordance with “Repairs by the Contractor.” Once the Fleet Defect is corrected, the remaining warranty period shall begin on the repair/replacement date for corrected items on each bus if the repairs are completed by the Contractor or on the date the Contractor provides all parts to the Purchaser. Warranty Processing Procedures The following list represents requirements by the Contractor to the Purchaser for processing warranty claims. One failure per bus per claim is allowed. Bus number and VIN Total vehicle life mileage at time of repair Date of failure/repair Acceptance/in-service date Contractor part number and description Component serial number Description of failure All costs associated with each failure/repair (invoices may be required for third-party costs): • Towing • Road calls • Labor • Materials • Parts • Handling • Troubleshooting time 220 of 272 P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Forms The Purchaser’s forms will be accepted by the Contractor if all of the above information is included. Electronic submittal must be made available between the Contractor and the Purchaser. Return of Parts When returning defective parts to the Contractor, the Purchaser shall tag each part with the following: Bus number and VIN Claim number Part number Serial number (if available) Mileage Timeframe Each claim must be submitted no more than thirty to forty-five (30-45) days from the date of failure and/or repair, whichever is later. All defective parts must be returned to the Contractor, when requested, no more than forty-five (45) days from the date of repair. Reimbursements Reimbursements are to be transmitted to the reporting Purchaser. 221 of 272 Standard & Extended Warranty Revised: 08/17/15 Page 1 of 5 GILLIG LLC LOW FLOOR TRANSIT COACH STANDARD LIMITED WARRANTY & EXTENDED COVERAGE FOR STATE OF FLORIDA – JACKSONVILLE, FL RFP P-18-05 – MARCH 2019 GILLIG LLC warrants to the original purchaser, that its transit coaches, save and except for those major component assemblies and other parts described below which are separately warranted by their respective manufacturer’s (OEM’s), will be FREE FROM DEFECTS IN MATERIAL AND WORKMANSHIP UNDER NORMAL USE AND SERVICE, for the distance or time periods specified in the attached, and agrees to REPAIR or REPLACE the defective parts AT NO COST TO THE PURCHASER.

EPA guidelines, “Comprehensive Procurement Guideline for Products Containing Recovered Materials,” 40 CFR Part 247, direct the Authority to specify a competitive preference for products containing recycled materials identified in those EPA guidelines for contracts valued at $10,000 or more. For information about EPA’s recovered materials advisory notices, see EPA’s Web site: http://www.epa.gov/cpg/backgrnd.htm. 21. Buy America. The Contractor shall comply with 49 U.S.C. 5323(j) and 49 CFR Part 661, where applicable, which provide that Federal funds may not be obligated unless steel, iron, and manufactured products used in FTA-funded projects are produced in the United States, unless a waiver has been granted by the FTA, or the product is subject to a general waiver. Work orders and small purchases of less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) made with capital, operating, or planning funds are waived from Buy America requirements. The JTA requires each Contractor to submit a completed Buy America certificate with its Bid or Proposal in accordance with §§ 661.6 or 661.12, as appropriate. The JTA presumes that any Contractor who submitted such certificate is complying with the Buy America provisions. A false certification is a criminal act in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001. A Contractor who certifies that it will comply with the applicable Buy America requirement is bound by its original certification (in the case of a sealed bidding procurement) or the certification it submitted with its final offer (in the case of a negotiated procurement) and is not permitted to change its certification after bid opening or submission of its final offer. Where a Contractor certifies that it will comply with Buy America requirements, the Contractor is not eligible for a waiver of those requirements. The JTA reserves the right to request additional information, 267 of 272 P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses and/or to conduct both pre-award and post-award audits to ensure that the Contractor is in compliance with Buy America requirements. 22.

The term includes graphic or pictorial delineation in media such as drawings or photographs; text in specifications or related performance or design-type documents; machine forms such as punched cards, magnetic tape, or computer memory printouts; and information retained in computer memory. Examples include, but are not limited to: computer software, engineering drawings and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog item identifications, and related information. The term "subject data" does not include financial reports, cost analyses, and similar information incidental to contract administration. (2) The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the performance of this Contract: (a) Except for its own internal use, the Authority or Contractor may not publish or reproduce subject data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the Authority or Contractor authorize others to do so, without the written consent of the federal government, until such time as the federal government may have either released or approved the release of such data to the public; this restriction on publication, however, does not apply to any contract with an academic institution. (b) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 18.34 and 49 C.F.R. § 19.36, the federal government reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use, for "federal government purposes," any subject data or copyright described in subsections (2)(b)1 and (2)(b)2 of this clause below.

Any rights of copyright purchased by the Authority or Contractor using federal assistance in whole or in part provided by FTA. (c) When FTA awards federal assistance for experimental, developmental, or research work, it is FTA's general intention to increase transportation knowledge available to the public, rather than to restrict the benefits resulting from the work to participants in that work. Therefore, unless FTA determines otherwise, the Authority and the Contractor performing experimental, developmental, or research work required by this Contract agrees to permit FTA to make available to the public, either the license in the copyright to any subject data developed in the course of this Contract, or a copy of the subject data first produced under the Contract for which a copyright has not been obtained. If the experimental, developmental, or research work, which is the subject of the underlying Contract, is not completed for any reason whatsoever, all data developed under that Contract shall become subject data as defined in subsection (a) of this clause and shall be delivered as the federal government may direct. This subsection (c), however, does not apply to adaptations of automatic data processing equipment or programs for the Authority or Contractor's use whose costs are financed in whole or in part with federal assistance provided by FTA for transportation capital projects. (d) Unless prohibited by state law, upon request by the federal government, the Authority and the Contractor agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the federal government, its officers, agents, and employees acting within the scope of their official duties against any liability, including costs and expenses, resulting from any willful or intentional violation by the Authority or Contractor of proprietary rights, copyrights, or right of privacy, arising out of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery, use, or disposition of any data furnished under that contract. Neither the Authority nor the Contractor shall be required to indemnify the federal government for any such liability arising out of the wrongful act of any employee, official, or agents of the federal government. (e) Nothing contained in this clause on rights in data shall imply a license to the federal government under any patent or be construed as affecting the scope of any license or other right otherwise granted to the federal government under any patent. (f) Data developed by the Authority or Contractor and financed entirely without using federal assistance provided by the federal government that has been incorporated into work required by the Contract is exempt from the requirements of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this clause, provided that the Authority or Contractor identifies that data in writing at the time of delivery of the Contract work. (g) Unless the federal government determines otherwise, the Contractor agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with federal assistance. 271 of 272 P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses 30.

The Supplier shall perform (and cause all Subcontractors to perform) all services in a manner that is consistent with the level of reasonable care, skill, judgment and ability provided by others providing a similar type of service in the same geographic area.

Warranty (On following pages) P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 220 of 257 Exhibit C Warranty Supplier Warranty Warranties in this document are in addition to any statutory remedies or warranties imposed on the Supplier. Consistent with t his requirement, the Supplier warrants and guarantees to the Authority each complete bus and specific subsystems and components as follows. Performance requirements based on design criteria shall not be deemed a warranty item. Complete Bus The complete bus, propulsion system, components, major subsystems and body and chassis structure are warranted to be free from Defects and Related Defects for one year unlimited miles, beginning on the date of revenue service.” The warranty is based on regular operatio n of the bus under the operating conditions prevailing in the Agency’s locale. Body and Chassis Structure Body, body structure, structural elements of the suspension and engine cradle are warranted to be free from Defects and Related Defects for three year s or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The format of the list shall be approved by the Agency prior to delivery of the first production bus. P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 222 of 257 Extension of Warranty If, during the warranty period, repairs or modifications on any bus are made necessary by defective design, materials or workmanship but are not completed due to lack of material or inability to provide the proper repair for thirty (30) calendar days, then the applicable warranty period shall be extended by the nu mber of days equal to the delay period. Voiding of Warranty The warranty shall not apply to the failure of any part or component of the bus that directly results from misuse, negligence, accident or repairs not conducted in accordance with the Supplier-provided maintenance manuals and with workmanship performed by adequately trained personnel in accordance with recognized standards of the industry. The warranty also shall be void if the Agency fails to conduct normal inspections and scheduled preventive maintenance procedures as recommended in the Supplier’s maintenance manuals and if that omission caused the part or component failure. The Agency shall maintain documentation, auditable by the Supplier, verifying service activities in conformance with the Supplier’s maintenance manuals. Exceptions and Additions to Warranty The warranty shall not apply to the following items: Scheduled maintenance items Normal wear-out items Items furnished by the Agency Should the Agency require the use of a specific product and has rejected the Supplier’s request for an alternate product, then the standard Supplier warranty for that product shall be the only warranty provided to the Agency. This product will not be eligible under “Fleet Defects,” below. The Supplier shall not be required to provide warranty information for any warranty that is less than or equal to the warranty periods listed. Pass-Through Warranty Should the Supplier elect to not administer warranty claims on certain components and wish to transfer this responsibility to the sub-suppliers, or to others, the Supplier shall request this waiver. Supplier shall state in writing that the Agency’s warranty reimbursements will not be impacted. The Supplier also shall state in writing any exceptions and reimbursement including all costs incurred in transport of vehicles and/or components. At any time during the warranty period, the Supplier may request approval from the Agency to assign its warranty obligations to others, but only on a case-by-case basis approved in writing by the Agency. Otherwise, the Supplier shall be solely responsible for the administration of the warranty as specified. Warranty administration by others does not eliminate the warranty liability and responsibility of the Supplier. The Supplier will be responsible for settling all disputes with sub suppliers. Superior Warranty The Supplier shall pass on to the Agency any warranty offered by a component Supplier that is superior to that required herein. The Supplier shall provide a list to the Agency noting the P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 223 of 257 conditions and limitations of the Superior Warranty not later than the start of production. The Superior Warranty shall not be administered by the Supplier. Fleet Defects Occurrence and Remedy A Fleet Defect is defined as cumulative failures of twenty-five (25) percent of the same components in the same or similar application in a minimum fleet size of twelve (12) or more buses where such items are covered by warranty. A Fleet Defect shall apply only to the base warranty period in sections entitled “Complete Bus,” “Propulsion System” and “Major Subsystems”. New Flyer does not warrant some major component assemblies (such as the engines, transmissions and air conditioning systems) which are warranted by their respective manufacturers (OEM’s). Warranty coverage for these items is as defined in those manufacturer’s own warranty documents and per their terms and conditions, and as administered by their own support networks. When a Fleet Defect is declared, the remaining warranty on that item/component stops. The warranty period does not restart until the Fleet Defect is corrected. The Supplier will notify the lead agency, or its designee, of all warranty claims within the same production year for all buses purchased off this contract. For the purpose of Fleet Defects, each option order shall be treated as a separate bus fleet. In addition, should there be a change in a major component within either the base order or an option order, the buses containing the new major component shall become a separ ate bus fleet for the purposes of Fleet Defects. The Supplier shall correct a Fleet Defect under the warranty provisions defined in “Repair Procedures.” After correcting the Defect, the Agency and the Supplier shall mutually agree to and the Supplier shall promptly undertake and complete a work program reasonably designed to prevent the occurrence of the same Defect in all other buses and spare parts purchased under this Contract. Where the specific Defect can be solely attributed to particular identifiable part(s), the work program shall include redesign and/or replacement of only the defectively designed and/or manufactured part(s). In all other cases, the work program shall include inspection and/or correction of all the buses in the fleet via a mutually agreed-to arrangement. The Supplier shall update, as necessary, technical support information (parts, service and operator’s manuals) due to changes resulting from warranty repairs. The Agency may immediately declare a Defect in design resulting in a safet y hazard to be a Fleet Defect. The Supplier shall be responsible to furnish, install and replace all defective units. That information will be shared with all contract participants. When it is determined that a field service representative is required onsite the Supplier will have 36 hours to have the representative in place. The field service representative must be capable of performing technical repairs onsite. As a part of the corrective action pertaining to fleet defects the Supplier will be required to send their field representative to each property with buses built in the production year that is experiencing the defect. P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 224 of 257 Exceptions to Fleet Defect Provisions The Fleet Defect component warranty provisions shall not apply to Agency-supplied items, such as radios, fare collection equipment, communication systems and tires. In addition, Fleet Defects shall not apply to interior and exterior finishes, hoses, fittings and fabric. Repair Procedures Repair Performance The Supplier is responsible for all warranty-covered repair Work. To the extent practicable, the Agency will allow the Supplier or its designated representative to perform such Work. At its discretion, the Agency may perform such Work if it determines it needs to do so based on transit service or other requirements. Such Work shall be reimbursed by the Supplier. Repairs by the Supplier If the Agency detects a Defect within the warranty periods defined in this section, it shall, within thirty (30) days, notify the Supplier’s designated representative. The Supplier or its designated representative shall, if requested, begin Work on warranty-covered repairs within five calendar days after receiving notification of a Defect from the Agency. The Agency shall make the bus available to complete repairs timely with the Supplier’s repair schedule. The Supplier shall provide at its own expense all spare parts, tools and space required to complete repairs. At the Agency’s option, the Supplier may be required to remove the bus from the Agency’s property while r epairs are being effected. If the bus is removed from the Agency’s property, then repair procedures must be diligently pursued by the Supplier’s representative. Repairs by the Agency Parts Used If the Agency performs the warranty-covered repairs, then it shall correct or repair the Defect and any Related Defects utilizing parts supplied by the Supplier specifically for this repair. At its discretion, the Agency may use Supplier-specified parts available from its own stock if deemed in its best interests. Supplier-Supplied Parts The Agency may require that the Supplier supply parts for warranty-covered repairs being performed by the Agency. Those parts may be remanufactured but shall have the same form, fit and function, and warranty. The parts shall be sh ipped prepaid to the Agency from any source selected by the Supplier within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the request for said parts and shall not be subject to an Agency handling charge. Defective Component Return The Supplier may request that parts covered by the warranty be returned to the manufacturing plant. The freight costs for this action shall be paid by the Supplier. Materials should be returned in accordance with the procedures outlined in “Warranty Processing Procedures.” Failure Analysis The Supplier shall, upon specific request of the Agency, provide a failure analysis of Fleet Defect or safety-related parts, or major components, removed from buses under the terms of P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 225 of 257 the warranty that could affect fleet operation. Such reports shall be delivered within 60 days of the receipt of failed parts. Reimbursement for Labor and Other Related Costs The Agency shall be reimbursed by the Supplier for labor. The amount shall be determined by the Agency for a qualified mechanic at a straight time wage rat e of [$125.00] per hour, which includes fringe benefits and overhead adjusted for the Agency’s most recently published rate in effect at the time the Work is performed, plus the cost of towing the bus if such action was necessary and if the bus was in the normal service area. These wage and fringe benefit rates shall not exceed the rates in effect in the Agency’s service garage at the time the Defect correction is made. Repair time hours are based on the Supplier’s Standard Repair Time Manual. Reimbursement for Parts The Agency shall be reimbursed by the Supplier for defective parts and for parts that must be replaced to correct the Defect. The reimbursement shall be at the current price at the time of repair and shall include taxes where applicable, plus 15 percent handling costs. Handling costs shall not be paid if parts are supplied by the Supplier and shipped to the Agency.

Examples include, but are not limited to: computer software, engineering drawings and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical reports, catalog item identifications, and related information. The term "subject data" does not include financial reports, cost analyses, and similar information incidental to contract administration. (2) The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the performance of this Contract: (a) Except for its own internal use, the Authority or Supplier may not publish or reproduce subject data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the Authority or Supplier authorize others to do so, without the written consent of the federal government, until such time as the federal government may have either released or approved the release of such data to the public; this restriction on publication, however, does not apply to any contract with an academic institution. (b) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 18.34 and 49 C.F.R. § 19.36, the federal government reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use, for "federal government purposes," any subject data or copyright described in subsections (2)(b)1 and (2)(b)2 of this clause below. As used in the previous sentence, "for federal government purposes," means use only for the direct purposes of the federal government. Without the copyright owner's consent, the federal government may not extend its federal license to any other party. 1. Any subject data developed under that contract, whether or not a copyright has been obtained; and P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 255 of 257 2. Any rights of copyright purchased by the Authority or Supplier using federal assistance in whole or in part provided by FTA. (c) When FTA awards federal assistance for experimental, developmental, or research work, it is FTA's general intention to increase transportation knowledge available to the public, rather than to restrict the benefits resulting from the work to participants in that work. Therefore, unless FT A determines otherwise, the Authority and the Supplier performing experimental, developmental, or research work required by this Contract agrees to permit FTA to make available to the public, either the license in the copyright to any subject data developed in the course of this Contract, or a copy of the subject data first produced under the Contract for which a copyright has not been obtained. If the experimental, developmental, or research work, which is the subject of the underlying Contract, is not completed for any reason whatsoever, all data developed under that Contract shall become subject data as defined in subsection (a) of this clause and shall be delivered as the federal government may direct. This subsection (c), however, does not apply to adaptations of automatic data processing equipment or programs for the Authority or Supplier's use whose costs are financed in whole or in part with federal assistance provided by FTA for transportation capital projects. (d) Unless prohibited by state law, upo n request by the federal government, the Authority and the Supplier agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the federal government, its officers, agents, and employees acting within the scope of their official duties against any liability, including co sts and expenses, resulting from any willful or intentional violation by the Authority or Supplier of proprietary rights, copyrights, or right of privacy, arising out of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery, use, or disposition of any data furnished under that contract. Neither the Authority nor the Supplier shall be required to indemnify the federal government for any such liability arising out of the wrongful act of any employee, official, or agents of the federal government. (e) Nothing contained in this clause on rights in data shall imply a license to the federal government under any patent or be construed as affecting the scope of any license or other right otherwise granted to the federal government under any patent. (f) Data developed by the Authority or Supplier and financed entirely without using federal assistance provided by the federal government that has been incorporated into work required by the Contract is exempt from the requirements of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this clause, provided that the Authority or Supplier identifies that data in writing at the time of delivery of the Contract work. (g) Unless the federal government determines otherwise, the Supplier agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with federal assistance.

Each material is specifically selected in order to optimize the strength, vehicle weight and cost. Nova Bus not only provides stainless steel structures, we also provide a long history of manufacturing transit bus stainless steel structures with a proven track record for durability and corrosion resistance. Thousands of LFS stainless structures are currently in service throughout North America. References: Certified welders: American Welding Society AWS D8.8M :2007 Altoona Tested - No class 1 or class 2 failures. Please refer to attached Altoona Test Report. Exova Design Validation test: Accelerated fatigue test performed on a production vehicle on a vehicle road simulator calibrated to reproduce efforts during a 500 000 miles in a NYC operating environment. The structure has therefore been thoroughly fatigue and strength tested. The structure withstands high corrosive environments as observed in Canada and the U.S. east coast. Wheel Housing - Design and Construction Material The front wheelhouses are made of stainless steel covered with either flat or textured reinforced fiberglass material which is grey-color-impregnated to match the interior finish. The rear wheelhouses are made of reinforced fiberglass material. The reinforced fiberglass gives the benefit of obtaining more space in the passenger compartment because of the possibility of making a tighter wheel house radius. This design does not compromise the structural integrity or strength. Wheelhouses have passed the APTA Standard Bus Procurement Guidelines fire resistance and steel ball tests successfully. Front wheelhouse Rear wheelhouse Confidential and Nova Bus/Volvo Group Proprietary P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 193 of 277 TECHNICAL NARRATIVE – BODY DESIGN Design & Materials Upper Body Panels All exterior panels are made of composite materials bonded in place with structural adhesive. This process eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners, and prevents corrosion and the forming of stress risers. The roof, side panels, rear and front face are fiberglass. Side panels above the rub rail are 0.157" thick, as are the roof panels. The front face assembly is 0.236" thick and the rear face assembly is 0.157” thick. The fiberglass panels have a gel coat finish in a Lily white color, with a high gloss finish. This design minimizes maintenance and eliminates the need to paint the bus. Thermoplastic Panels The lilly-white coloured skirt panels are made of high impact thermoplastic (Polycarbonate and ABS) which is very flexible, and resist minor damage. There are no openings in the skirt panels with the exception of the battery door, the windshield washer access door and the accessory access door. To improve maintenance, most of the skirt panels are fastened to the structure with automotive fasteners. Majority of panels can be replaced in less than 5 minutes without need for bodywork, special training or tooling. The lily- white rear removable corners are made of thermoplastic PolyOlefin material providing an exceptional combination of stiffness, impact resistance and dimensional stability. All exterior access doors (including the engine access door) are made of painted aluminum panels, except for the radiator access door which is made of fiberglass. The radiator top grille is made of painted steel and the fairings are painted aluminum. (Actual appearance may be different depending on skirt color selected) P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 194 of 277 Joint Sealing Compounds Joints are made with three sealants (Sika 221 and 552 Aero grey). Sikaflex 221 – a polyurethane-based sealant that cures with humidity and does not shrink. Used to seal glued joints as it is perfectly compatible with Sika 252 glue. In addition, it is very flexible, making it an excellent sealant for moving joints (thermal dilationg). It is used on lateral fiberglass panels. Sikaflex 552 – Low VOC, high performance, elastic, gap-filling, one-part, silane-terminated polymer structural adhesive that cures on exposure to atmospheric moisture to form a durable elastomer. Undercoating Tectyl 3344 and Sicopoxy undercoating is applied during manufacturing and will need to be reapplied after the 8th and 16th year to maximize corrosion protection of the underframe. Fasteners Panels are bonded to the structure using Sikaflex Sika 252 glue. Side skirts are attached using automotive type fir tree panel clips (plastic clips). Safety Walk Tape 3M Safety Walk Tape (200 Series, White 280 Color) is installed in bolded black outlined roof area indicated below. Rain Gutters Rain gutters are included to prevent water flowing from the roof onto the passenger doors, operator’s side window, and exterior mirrors. When the bus decelerates, the gutters do not drain onto the windshield, or operator’s side window, or into the door boarding area. Cross sections of the gutters are installed for proper operation. Rain gutters are not offered above the passenger side windows. P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 195 of 277 License Plate Provisions Provisions are available to mount standard-size U.S./Canada license plates per SAE J686 on the rear and the front of the bus. The rear provision is recess and integrated into the engine door. The license plate can be cleaned by automatic bus-washing equipment without being caught by the brushes. The rear license plate provision is illuminated per SAE J587. Nova Bus' rear license plate is located at the center of the bus, 3 feet from the ground. It is fixed with stainless steel screws and bolts. Also, if required, Nova Bus can offer one of two locations for the front license plate (can be discussed at Pre-Production Meeting). Fender Skirts Flexible Fender Skirts minimize water spray from the bus in wet conditions at each corner. The fender skirts are easily replaceable and do not interfere with wheel/tire assembly replacement. Splash Aprons Splash aprons, composed of 1/4-inch-minimum composition or rubberized fabric, are installed on rear-side of all wheels as needed to reduce road splash and protect underfloor components. Apron widths extend across the width of the bus. Splash aprons are bolted to the bus understructure.

Bumpers increase the overall bus length by 11 inches. Nova Bus provides bumpers at 29 inches from the top of the bumper to the ground. This height meets the Standard Bus Procurement Guide requirement 27 +/- 2 inches. Front Bumper Nova Bus is proposing a 3-piece front bumper from Romeo Rim. Rear Bumper Nova Bus is proposing a 3-piece rear bumper from Romeo Rim. The rear design of the bumpers does not allow any unauthorized riders to climb. P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 199 of 277 TECHNICAL NARRATIVE – SUB-FLOOR DESIGN Floor Construction The floor deck is integrated with the basic structure to prevent chafing or horizontal movement and designed to last the life of the bus. Sheet metal screws are not used to retain the floor. The floor is secured to the structure with adhesives and its effectiveness lasts throughout the life of the bus. The floor deck supports passenger loads. At GVWR, the floor has an elastic deflection of no more than 0.60 inches from the normal plane. The floor withstands the application of 2.5 time gross load weight without permanent detrimental deformation. Floor, with coverings applied, can withstand a static load of at least 150 pounds applied through the flat end of a ½ inch-diameter rod, with 1/32-inch radius, without permanent visible deformation. The use of composite floor and Gerflor Tarabus floor covering are service proven. They are offered as a standard design in our vehicles since 2008. Nova Bus is using molded floor assemblies consisting of a foam-filled, honeycomb core, encapsulated in glass reinforced, unsaturated polyester resin, manufactured by a vacuum- assisted, resin infusion process (VARTM). Properties • Top / Bottom skin: 0.04” thick infused polyester or epoxy resin reinforced with bi-axial stitch mat • Core materials: phenolic impregnated, craft paper honeycomb, filled with closed-cell polyurethane foam. Solid, glass reinforced cores for areas of reduced thickness • Finish: Road-side rippled, interior surface smooth. • Edges: reinforced, factory sealed P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 200 of 277 • Standard nominal thickness: 0.75” ± 0.020” • Weight: Approximately 1.5 lbs / square foot • Standard fire resistance: FMVSS / CMVSS 302 Benefits • Will not rot, mildew, soften, warp, split or delaminate from exposure to water, cleaning solvents, snow, or ice. • 31% lighter than an equivalent thickness of ACQ plywood which reduces fuel consumption. • Stiffer than ACQ plywood, allowing greater un-reinforced spans. • Self-insulating with 60% reduction in thermal energy transmission • Impervious to insects and termites • Greatly reduce the need for floor joints Floor Joint Locations & Floor to Wall Transition Joint Construction P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 201 of 277 Floor Covering Nova Bus floor system composed of the composite floor and the PVC floor covering is designed for the life of the bus. Both provide the best durable and weight saving solution. Nova Bus is using Gerflor Tarabus PVC floor covering installed into the controlled environment that provides the manufacturing process of the composite floor and minimizing joints. This provides a constant performance free of defect floor system eliminating any possibility of water infiltration or separation at the edges and avoiding contamination that could lead in the floor covering delamination from the composite floor. This manufacturing process provides a perfect match and mating surface between the composite floor and the floor covering and allows for integral nozing at the same time. Gerflor Tarabus PVC, fiber-glass, silicon carbide and non-woven textile has been developed, tested and has shown durability to survive heavy traffic. Easy to maintain, it provides passengers with a safe, non-slip surface, even when wet. In addition, it has an excellent static coefficient of friction of 0.60 ASTM D 2047, in either dry or wet conditions. These are the main factors for a low life cycle cost of the Nova Bus floor system. 1. Durable ( waterproof and resistant to rot, mildew and water damage ) 2. Rigid surface 3. Minimizing joints ( Pre-welded to virtually eliminate seams and joints ) 4. Controlled environment P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 202 of 277 Floor Height and Slope The floor is a continuous flat plane, except at the wheel housing and platform areas. The floor height above the street is 15.3 inches, which is measured at the centerline of the front and rear doorway. The floor design consists of two levels. After the rear door extending to the rear seat riser, the floor height is raised to a height of 16 inches above the lower level. The floor is inclined along the longitudinal axis of the bus, and the incline is 1.7 degrees off the horizontal except locally at the doors where 1.5 degrees slope toward the door is allowed for drainage. All floor measurements are done with the bus at the design running height and on a level surface and with the use of standard 305 tires Operator Platform The operator platform is at a height that, in a seated position, the operator can see an object located at an elevation of 42” above the road surface, 24” from the leading edge of the bumper. Platform height is 13 inches. Integral nosing is provided. Floor covering of the platform surface is the same material throughout the vehicle with Gerflor Tarabus Borneo yellow edge. Rear Step Area to Rear Area (Transit Bus) Bi-level Floor Design The rear stepwell is part of the Nova Bus structure. The frame is made from stainless steel and is welded as part of the structure (see figure 1 below). The floor is made from composite flooring as the rest of the bus floor. The step tread is 15.5 inches deep. Each riser is 8 inches high (see figure 2 below). It is a two steps design to accommodate a raised aisle floor in the rear of the bus.

MCM P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 205 of 277 General Battery Arrangement Description The Battery Tray is offered with ventilation holes. The batteries are placed on a pivoting frame in the battery compartment. Some vehicles are equipped with a monitoring system for battery imbalance (optional). This system emits an audible and visual signal when the batteries detect a difference of 1 V and more. Technical Specifications Brand ...........................................................................East Penn Model.......................................................................... 8A8D Quantity .........................................................................Two Voltage ....................................................................... 12 V Cold Cranking Amps @ 0°F (-18°C) …………………..1425 amps Voltage Converter in lieu of Battery Equalizer In order to maintain the batteries in optimal condition, Nova Bus does not use a battery equalizer. All power is equally drawn from both batteries and a DC/DC converter supplies 12v as required. The main advantage of the converter is to provide a clean 12V source to sensitive electronic equipment. The DC/DC converter does not communicate on J1939, however one of the standard features of the VBEA multiplex system is battery monitoring. We also display the battery voltage in the maintenance menu of the ACTIA instrument panel. Nova Bus offers the SUREPOWER 60A, 80A and 100A DC/DC converter. The output power will be adapted according to the onboard ITS equipment. P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 206 of 277 Jump Start An electrical type receptacle is installed in the engine compartment. An additional receptacle can be placed in the battery compartment. This connector is sized to carry the necessary electric current to charge the bus batteries and configured to maintain proper polarity. A retained cap is installed to protect against dirt and moisture when not in use. Depending of options selected by customer, Nova Bus will propose the ideal position for the jump start connector. This will be discussed at pre-production meeting P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 207 of 277 Battery Compartment and Swing-Out Tray The vented, self-draining battery compartment or enclosure is constructed of corrosion-resistant materials and is accessible only from the outside of the bus. All components in the battery compartment, and the compartment itself, are protected from damage or corrosion from electrolyte and gases emitted by the battery, as well as from snow, slush, salt spray, mud, etc. generated from external environmental conditions. The inside surface of the battery compartment access door is electrically insulated to prevent battery terminals from shorting on the door in the event the door is damaged in an accident or a battery comes loose. The battery compartment is located at the rear of the street side of the vehicle. Access to the compartment requires unlocking the door latch and swinging the door upwards and out. The swing-out battery tray is easier to manipulate, and, in our opinion, is less likely to bind. The tray is secured in both the stored and deployed positions. Master Battery Switch The batteries are equipped with a switch for disconnecting both 24V power. 12Vdc being provided by conversion of the 24 Vdc by DC –Dc converters, it does disconnect the 12 Vdc at the same time. Turning the master switch “OFF” with the power plant operating will not damage any component of the electrical system. The master switch is capable of carrying and interrupting the total circuit load. Battery tray lock P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 208 of 277 Starter cable to the low voltage batteries is connected to a junction block since the low voltage batteries are mounted in a separate compartment Low-Voltage Generation and Distribution Alternator The Power 535 EMP 28V Alternator system is composed of a belt-driven, air-cooled, brushless alternator and an electronic voltage regulator. These components are controlled by the vehicle’s multiplexing system. The alternator produces 535A @ 6000 RPM, stabilized at 20°C per SAE J56. The voltage regulator limits the maximum voltage produced at the alternator’s output terminal by controlling the rotor’s magnetic field by excitation. The alternator provides electrical power and charges de batteries. Voltage regulator The voltage regulator is located in the battery compartment. The Voltage Regulator is a maintenance-free, electronic component sealed in an aluminum case. It is designed to protect against over-voltage and short circuits. The function of the regulator is to maintain the same voltage, although there are wide fluctuations in alternator speed and load, thus preventing battery undercharge or overcharge. Converter 24/12 DC-DC Converters continue to provide regulated power directly to accessory or main loads. Depending of the needs, we provide DC-DC Converters producing up to 60 amps at 12V from 24V source.

P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 237 of 277 Extension of Warranty If, during the warranty period, repairs or modifications on any bus are made necessary by defective design, materials or workmanship but are not completed due to lack of material or inability to provide the proper repair for thirty (30) calendar days, then the applicable warranty period shall be extended by the number of days equal to the delay period. Voiding of Warranty The warranty shall not apply to the failure of any part or component of the bus that directly results from misuse, negligence, accident or repairs not conducted in accordance with the Supplier-provided maintenance manuals and with workmanship performed by adequately trained personnel in accordance with recognized standards of the industry. The warranty also shall be void if the Agency fails to conduct normal inspections and scheduled preventive maintenance procedures as recommended in the Supplier’s maintenance manuals and if that omission caused the part or component failure. The Agency shall maintain documentation, auditable by t he Supplier, verifying service activities in conformance with the Supplier’s maintenance manuals. Exceptions and Additions to Warranty The warranty shall not apply to the following items: Scheduled maintenance items Normal wear-out items Items furnished by the Agency Should the Agency require the use of a specific product and has rejected the Supplier’s request for an alternate product, then the standard Supplier warranty for that product shall be the only warranty provided to the Agency. This product will not be eligible under “Fleet Defects,” below. The Supplier shall not be required to provide warranty information for any warranty that is less than or equal to the warranty periods listed. Pass-Through Warranty Should the Supplier elect to not administer warranty claims on certain components and wish to transfer this responsibility to the sub-suppliers, or to others, the Supplier shall request this waiver.

Superior Warranty The Supplier shall pass on to the Agency any warranty offered by a component Supplier that is superior to that required herein. The Supplier shall provide a list to the Agency noting the P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 238 of 277 conditions and limitations of the Superior Warranty not later than the start of production. The Superior Warranty shall not be administered by the Supplier. Fleet Defects Occurrence and Remedy A Fleet Defect is defined as cumulative failures of twenty-five (25) percent of the same components in the same or similar application in a minimum fleet size of twelve (12) or more buses where such items are covered by warranty. A Fleet Defect shall apply only to the base warranty period in sections entitled “Complete Bus,” “Propulsion System” and “Major Subsystems.” When a Fleet Defect is declared, the remaining warranty on that item/component stops. The warranty period does not restart until the Fleet Defect is corrected. The Supplier will notify the lead agency, or its designee, of all warranty claims within the same production year for all buses purchased off this contract. For the purpose of Fleet Defects, each option order shal l be treated as a separate bus fleet. In addition, should there be a change in a major component within either the base order or an option order, the buses containing the new major component shall become a separate bus fleet for the purposes of Fleet Defects. The Supplier shall correct a Fleet Defect under the warranty provisions defined in “Repair Procedures.” After correcting the Defect, the Agency and the Supplier shall mutually agree to and the Supplier shall promptly undertake and complete a work progr am reasonably designed to prevent the occurrence of the same Defect in all other buses and spare parts purchased under this Contract. Where the specific Defect can be solely attributed to particular identifiable part(s), the work program shall include redesign and/or replacement of only the defectively designed and/or manufactured part(s). In all other cases, the work program shall include inspection and/or correction of all the buses in the fleet via a mutually agreed -to arrangement. The Supplier shall update, as necessary, technical support information (parts, service and operator’s manuals) due to changes resulting from warranty repairs. The Agency may immediately declare a Defect in design resulting in a safety hazard to be a Fleet Defect. The Supplier shall be responsible to furnish, install and replace all defective units. That information will be shared with all contract participants. When it is determined that a field service representative is required onsite the Supplier will have 36 hours to have the representative in place. The field service representative must be capable of performing technical repairs onsite. As a part of the corrective action pertaining to fleet defects the Supplier will be required to send their field representative to each property with buses built in the production year that is experiencing the defect. Exceptions to Fleet Defect Provisions The Fleet Defect component warranty provisions shall not apply to Agency-supplied items, such as radios, fare collection equipment, communication systems and tires. In addition, Fleet Defects shall not apply to interior and exterior finishes, hoses, fittings and fabric.

To the extent practicable, the Agency will allow the Supplier or its designated representative to perform such Work. At its discretion, the Agency may perform such Work if it determines it needs to do so based on transit service or other requirements. Such Work shall be reimb ursed by the Supplier. Repairs by the Supplier If the Agency detects a Defect within the warranty periods defined in this section, it shall, within thirty (30) days, notify the Supplier’s designated representative. The Supplier or its designated representative shall, if requested, begin Work on warranty-covered repairs within five calendar days after receiving notification of a Defect from the Agency. The Agency shall make the bus available to complete repairs timely with the Supplier’s repair schedule. The Supplier shall provide at its own expense all spare parts, tools and space required to complete repairs. At the Agency’s option, the Supplier may be required to remove the bus from the Agency’s property while repairs are being effected. If the bus is remo ved from the Agency’s property, then repair procedures must be diligently pursued by the Supplier’s representative. Repairs by the Agency Parts Used If the Agency performs the warranty-covered repairs, then it shall correct or repair the Defect and any Related Defects utilizing parts supplied by the Supplier specifically for this repair. At its discretion, the Agency may use Supplier-specified parts available from its own stock if deemed in its best interests. Supplier-Supplied Parts The Agency may require that the Supplier supply parts for warranty-covered repairs being performed by the Agency. Those parts may be remanufactured but shall have the same form, fit and function, and warranty. The parts shall be shipped prepaid to the Agency from any source selected by the Supplier within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the request for said parts and shall not be subject to an Agency handling charge. Defective Component Return The Supplier may request that parts covered by the warranty be returned to the manufacturing plant. The freight costs for this action shall be paid by the Supplier. Materials should be returned in accordance with the procedures outlined in “Warranty Processing Procedures.” Failure Analysis The Supplier shall, upon specific request of the Agency, provide a failure analysis of Fleet Defect or safety-related parts, or major components, removed from buses under the terms of the warranty that could affect fleet operation. Such reports shall be delivered within 60 days of the receipt of failed parts. P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 240 of 277 Reimbursement for Labor and Other Related Costs The Agency shall be reimbursed by the Supplier for labor. The amount shall be determined by the Agency for a qualified mechanic at a straight time wage rate of [$125.00] per hour, which includes fringe benefits and overhead adjusted for the Agency’s most recently published rate in effect at the time the Work is performed, plus the cost of towing the bus if such action was necessary and if the bus was in the normal service area. These wage and fringe benefit rates shall not exceed the rates in effect in the Agency’s service garage at the time the Defect correction is made. Reimbursement for Parts The Agency shall be reimbursed by the Supplier for defective parts and for parts that must be replaced to correct the Defect. The reimbursement shall be at the current price at the time of repair and shall include taxes where applicable, plus 15 percent handling costs. Handling costs shall not be paid if parts are supplied by the Supplier and shipped to the Agency. Reimbursement Requirements The Supplier shall respond to the warranty claim with an accept/reject decision including necessary failure analysis no later than thirty (30) days after the Agency submits the claim and defective part(s), when requested. Reimbursement for all accepted claims shall occur no later than thirty (30) days from the date of acceptance of a valid claim. The Agency may dispute rejected claims or claims for which the Supplier did not reimburse the full amount. The parties agree to review disputed warranty claims during the following quarter to reach an equitable decision to permit the disputed claim to be resolved and closed. The parties also agree to review all claims at least once per quarter throughout the entire warranty period to ensure that open claims are being tracked and properly dispositioned. Warranty after Replacement/Repairs If any component, unit or subsystem is repaired, rebuilt or replaced by the Supplier or by the Agency with the concurrence of the Supplier, then the component, unit or subsystem shall have the unexpired warranty period of the original. Repairs shall not be warranted if Supplier-provided or authorized parts are not used for the repair, unless the Supplier has failed to respond within five days, in accordance with “Repairs by the Supplier.” If an item is declared to be a Fleet Defect, then the warranty stops with the declaration of the Fleet Defect. Once the Fleet Defect is corrected, the item(s) shall have three (3) months or remaining time and/or miles of the original warranty, whichever is greater. This remaining warranty period shall begin on the repair/replacement date for corrected items on each bus if the repairs are completed by the Supplier or on the date the Supplier provides all parts to the Agency. Warranty Processing Procedures The following list represents requirements by the Supplier to the Agency for processing warranty claims. One failure per bus per claim is allowed.

Rights in Data. (1) The term "subject data" used in this clause means recorded information, whether or not copyrighted, that is delivered or specified to be delivered under the Contract. The term includes graphic or pictorial delineation in media such as drawings or photographs; text in specifications or related performance or design-type documents; machine forms such as punched cards, magnetic tape, or computer memory printouts; and information retained in computer memory. Examples include, but are not limited to: computer software, engineering drawings and associated lists, specifications, standards, process sheets, manuals, technical repo rts, catalog item identifications, and related information. The term "subject data" does not include financial reports, cost analyses, and similar information incidental to contract administration. (2) The following restrictions apply to all subject data first produced in the performance of this Contract: (a) Except for its own internal use, the Authority or Supplier may not publish or reproduce subject data in whole or in part, or in any manner or form, nor may the Authority or Supplier authorize others to do so, without the written consent of the federal government, until such time as the federal government may have either released or approved the release of such data to the public; this restriction on publication, however, does not apply to any contract w ith an academic institution. (b) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 18.34 and 49 C.F.R. § 19.36, the federal government reserves a royalty-free, non-exclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish, or otherwise use, and to authorize others to use, fo r "federal government purposes," any subject data or copyright described in subsections (2)(b)1 and (2)(b)2 of this clause below. As used in the previous sentence, "for federal government purposes," means use only for the direct purposes of the federal government. Without the copyright owner's consent, the federal government may not extend its federal license to any other party. 1. Any subject data developed under that contract, whether or not a copyright has been obtained; and P-18-005 State of Florida Heavy Duty Buses Page 275 of 277 2. Any rights of copyright purchased by the Authority or Supplier using federal assistance in whole or in part provided by FTA. (c) When FTA awards federal assistance for experimental, developmental, or research work, it is FTA's general intention to increase transportation knowledge available to the public, rather than to restrict the benefits resulting from the work to participants in that work. Therefore, unless FTA determines otherwise, the Authority and the Supplier performing experimental, developmental, or research work required by this Contract agrees to permit FTA to make available to the public, either the license in the copyright to any subject data developed in the course of this Contract, or a copy of the subject data first produced under the Contract for which a copyright has not been obtained. If the experimental, developmental, or research work, which is the subject of the underlying Contract, is not completed for any reason whatsoever, all data developed under that Contract shall become subject data as defined in subsection (a) of this clause and shall be delivered as the federal government may direct. This subsection (c), however, does not apply to adaptations of automatic data processing equipment or programs for the Authority or Supplier's use whose costs are financed in whole or in part with federal assistance provided by FTA for transportation capital projects. (d) Unless prohibited by state law, upon request by the federal government, the Authority and the Supplier agree to indemnify, save, and hold harmless the federal government, its officers, agents, and employees acting within the scope of their official duties against any liability, including costs and expenses, resulting from any willful or intentional violation by the Authority or Supplier of proprietary right s, copyrights, or right of privacy, arising out of the publication, translation, reproduction, delivery, use, or disposition of any data furnished under that contract. Neither the Authority nor the Supplier shall be required to indemnify the federal government for any such liability arising out of the wrongful act of any employee, official, or agents of the federal government. (e) Nothing contained in this clause on rights in data shall imply a license to the federal government under any patent or be const rued as affecting the scope of any license or other right otherwise granted to the federal government under any patent. (f) Data developed by the Authority or Supplier and financed entirely without using federal assistance provided by the federal government that has been incorporated into work required by the Contract is exempt from the requirements of subsections (b), (c), and (d) of this clause, provided that the Authority or Supplier identifies that data in writing at the time of delivery of the Contract work. (g) Unless the federal government determines otherwise, the Supplier agrees to include these requirements in each subcontract for experimental, developmental, or research work financed in whole or in part with federal assistance.
