Each proposal shall be submitted with the understanding that acceptance in writing by any Purchaser of the offer to furnish any or all of the units therein, shall constitute a contract between the Proposer and that Purchaser only, and implies no duties or responsibilities on the part of the CMPC or the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).

The Purchasing Agreement shall be awarded to the proposer(s) who is in compliance with the conditions and requirements of this proposal and whose weighted criteria points designate the best value relative to the evaluation criteria discussed in Section 1.14 of the RFP document. The CMPC may award to more than one Proposer whose proposal is in compliance with all State and Federal regulations. Awards based on Best Value represent an assessment of the evaluation criteria and scoring, consisting of, but not inclusive of, technical specifications, price, after sales service, warranty and quality control program. Evaluation will include considerations of previous vendor performance with CDOT and references from current customers. 1.12 EVALUATION PROCESS FOR PROPOSALS The CMPC shall employ evaluation criteria in determining the award of this Purchasing Agreement. These criteria are outlined below under Paragraph 1.14: EVALUATION CRITERIA, and are listed in order of importance and value. Although the CMPC is requesting that pricing and technical specifications be separated when submitted, these documents will be reviewed and evaluated concurrently with all other aspects/documents of the proposal. The Purchasing Agreement awarded will be dependent upon the successful Proposer being able to comply with the provisions and requirements of the solicitation in a timely manner. All information to be submitted in the proposal must be correct, complete and verifiable. The proposer may be required to submit supporting documentation on the technical aspects and cost. The CMPC may select a proposal for award without any discussions, negotiations, or requests for any Best and Final Offers (BAFO's). The CMPC Program Administrator expects all proposers to fully cooperate with the evaluation process. 1.13 REVIEW OF PROPOSALS FOR RESPONSIVENESS / PROPOSER RESPONSIBILITY / COMPETITIVE RANGE Each Proposal will be reviewed to determine if the Proposal is responsive to the submission requirements outlined in this RFP and if the Proposer is responsible. A responsive Proposal is one that follows the requirements of this RFP, includes all documentation, is submitted in the format outlined in this RFP, is of timely submission, and has the appropriate signatures as required on each document. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the Proposal being deemed nonresponsive. A responsible Proposer is one that demonstrates the capability to satisfy the commercial and technical requirements set forth in the Solicitation. A Proposer's failure to demonstrate that it is responsible may result in the proposal being 13 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium rejected. Any Proposal found to be nonresponsive or Proposer found to be non-responsible instructions and requirements or do not include the required information may be rejected as insufficient and may not be further considered. The Agency reserves the right to request a Proposer to provide additional information and/or to clarify information. The Agency's determination regarding the responsiveness of a Proposal and the responsibility of a Proposer shall be final. Once proposal responsiveness and proposer responsibility has been determined, the evaluation of Envelope number 1, Technical Proposal, and Envelope number 2, Price Proposal, shall be conducted together to determine competitive range, and will be an internally consistent evaluation of price and technical factors. A price evaluation shall be conducted by the CMPC evaluation committee to establish that the proposal is within the competitive range. The technical evaluation will identify those proposals that are responsive to the minimum technical requirements. It will also determine compliance to technical specifications and evaluate features of the proposed vehicle using established criteria. Offerors of any proposals that have been determined to not be in the competitive range, and cannot reasonably be made to fall within the competitive range, will be notified in writing, including the shortcomings of their proposals, and these proposals will not be subject to the point tabulation method of evaluation described in Paragraph 1.15. The evaluation process will use a pre-established ranking system. 1.14 EVALUATION CRITERIA The specifications, as amended through the request for approval or deviation process, and any addenda thereto, set forth the minimum requirements of the vehicle, components, warranty, service, support, and other deliverables required through this procurement. The award of this Purchasing Agreement shall be made to the offeror whose proposal, in the opinion of the CMPC Proposal Evaluation Committee; best meets the established criteria listed herein. Consideration shall be given to such matters as Contractor integrity, record of past performance, and financial and technical resources. Price shall be a factor in the award decision, although the award may not be made to the proposal with the lowest price. The award will be made to the Proposer who is "most advantageous" with "price and other factors" considered. Technical superiority, warranty, delivery time, service support and training as well as price and technical aspects in order of priority are as follows: 14 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium a. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Technical specifications are the most important determinant for award. The main design intents of the vehicle specifications are: safety and crashworthiness, environmental tolerability, good ride and springing comfort, long life performance of mechanical and component function and high maintenance of value. Therefore, the CMPC will consider the type of construction used in the bus body, how the cage and sub-floor is designed, and how subcomponent electrical systems are integrated into the OEM wiring system. b. PRICE Price is of utmost importance to the CMPC, but not the sole consideration. Price shall be evaluated on its overall relationship to being most advantageous and favorable for the Purchasers. The CMPC will equally weight both the base vehicle and option pricing when evaluating price factors. c. WARRANTY The CMPC expects all parties responding to this RFP to meet the warranty criteria outlined in Part 3. In addition to the specified warranty criteria, the CMPC will review additional warranties that are offered. Warranties shall be evaluated in terms of longevity, cost, and overall relationship to being most advantageous and favorable for the Purchasers. d. QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM A Quality Control Program is of utmost importance to the CMPC. The CMPC has found that the lack of an effective Quality Control Program negatively impacts our goal of a defect free product. All Proposers should understand that failure to demonstrate an effective Quality Control Program will have a negative impact on their evaluation for this criterion. e. AFTER SALE SERVICE All parties should be aware that the CMPC places value on after-sale field service support and quick replacement parts availability. Included with parts availability is whether the Contractor keeps price catalogs current and whether the Contractor pays for the cost of freight. The CMPC will also consider the availability, location, and qualification of the field service support staff. f. DELIVERY SCHEDULE The proposer is required to provide information on how promptly units can 15 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium be delivered when ordered. It is important to have vehicles built and available to the CMPC members within industry standard timeframes in order to expend grant funds and work with the local, state and federal funding partners in an expeditious manner. g. TRAINING The dealer shall provide a vehicle orientation with each vehicle delivered to an agency. If an agency orders more than one (1) unit of identical specifications; the orientation shall be provided on the first unit delivered. The orientation shall be conducted by the dealer for the maintenance and operations supervisory and training personnel. The orientation shall include, but not be limited to: • Engine type and proper type of fuel • How to check coolant level and type of coolant required • Function of all controls on the OEM • Function of all controls on the second stage driver control panel • Identify location of and function of controls of all add-on equipment such as A/C, wheelchair ramp, restraint systems, etc. • Locate and identify all alarms • Locate and identify tire pressure ID plate • Location of battery and how to service 1.15 GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATION CRITERIA Prior to the opening of proposals, a determination will be made as to the proportional weight assigned to Envelope Number 1, Technical Proposal, and Envelope Number 2, Price Proposal. At the same time, a decision will be made as to the criteria used under Envelope Number 1, Technical Proposal, and its respective value. The proportional weight assignments are not made public. However, the criteria factors are listed in the Request for Proposal under 1.14 Evaluation Criteria. In the Evaluation Criteria review of Envelope Number 1, Technical Proposal, a point tabulation method will be established for each criteria with the lowest points designated the worst and the highest points designating the best relative to the criteria. The other proposers in the competitive range will be allotted corresponding points based on the variance from the proposal best meeting the technical specifications. The Evaluation Committee will submit the achieved scores in its recommendation. The Pricing Review of Envelope Number 2 follows a similar procedure. Using a point tabulation method, the lowest points designate the worst and the highest points designate the best relative to the criteria. The vehicle with the lowest price shall receive the maximum number of points for this factor. The other proposers in the competitive range will be allocated corresponding points based on the variance from the lowest cost submitted. The number of points achieved is then proportionally allotted to the pre-established weight for 16 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium Envelope Number 2, Price Proposal. The weighted scores for Envelope 1, Technical Proposal, and Envelope 2, Price Proposal, are combined to determine the total score for each proposal. Unless all proposals are rejected, award shall be made to that proposer whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Purchasers, price/cost or other factors considered. A full description of the procurement process is provided herein with the major steps being identified as follows: 1. The CMPC Program Administrator prepares a Request for Proposal (RFP), which includes the technical specifications defining the actual minimum needs and identifies all significant evaluating factors listed in their respective order of importance. For internal reference only, a memorandum to the file is prepared documenting the established criteria. 2. Proposal Evaluation Committee membership is determined by the CMPC Program Administrator. The Proposal Evaluation Committee may be comprised of representatives from purchasing agencies, CDOT, or others determined by the CMPC Program Administrator to be appropriate for involvement in the specific RFP evaluation process. 3. The RFP is issued to known potential proposers and advertised to ensure a high degree of competition. 4. By an established date, the proposer submits proposals for each vehicle type / class in three sealed envelopes, in accordance with Paragraph 1.4 of this solicitation. Envelope Number 1 includes the technical and contractual proposal, while Envelope Number 2 includes the quoted price and cost data and other relevant information. Envelopes 1 & 2 will be sealed inside Envelope (Box) Number 3. 5. Proposals will not be publicly opened. All proposals will be kept strictly confidential throughout the evaluation, negotiation, and selection process. Only the Evaluation Committee, and the CMPC Program Administrator will be provided access to the proposals and evaluation results during this period. 6. Proposals are evaluated by the Proposal Evaluation Committee in reference to the prioritized criteria published in the RFP. NOTE: Only the criteria are published. 7. No evaluation and/or price comparisons are allowed between proposals. Discussion will not disclose the strengths and weaknesses 17 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium of competing proposals. 8. Recommendation is made to the CMPC Program Administrator for approval. 9. Award of Purchasing Agreement will be dependent upon the required Pre-Award and Buy-America Certification. 10. CDOT approval is obtained, if required. 11. All proposers will be advised in writing of the final decision. 18 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS, 1 1C DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE a. Completed units are to be delivered to purchaser within the most advantageous time periods as defined in the proposer's proposal, depending on vehicle options and manufacturer. b. Upon completion of a Pre-Delivery Inspection by the licensed Colorado dealer who is awarded this Purchasing Agreement, that dealer will be required to deliver the vehicles to the purchaser.

Delivery to Purchaser is to be completed within ten (10) business days of receipt of vehicle at Contractor's site. Delivery shall be determined by signed receipt of the contact person or their designee, at the point of delivery. Further, since a common carrier is an independent concern, any delay in delivery resulting from the common 19 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part I Consortium carrier's operations, accident, or mechanical failures on route will be considered a cause beyond the control of the Contractor, provided vehicles were delivered to said carrier in ample time for delivery within normal operating conditions. Odometer readings* cannot exceed 3,000 miles at time of final delivery of completed buses to agency(s), unless an exception is approved by the purchasing agency. Under NO circumstances are tow vehicles to be attached to any buses. h. In case delivery of completed units under this Purchasing Agreement shall be necessarily delayed because of weather, strike, injunctions, government controls, or by reason of any cause or circumstances beyond control of the Contractor, the time for completion of delivery shall be extended by the number of days to be determined in each instance in writing and by mutual agreement between the parties.

If a vehicle is delivered incomplete or contains any defective or damaged parts, said parts shall be removed and new parts furnished and installed by the Contractor at no cost to the Purchaser. In the event work is involved, whether warranty or otherwise, in repairing or placing the vehicle(s) in proper condition, then such repairs shall be made by an approved firm. Delivery of vehicle(s) by the Contractor does not constitute acceptance by the Purchaser. Vehicle(s) shall be considered "accepted" upon the inspection by the Purchaser and the issuance of a "Letter of Acceptance" to the Contractor. Purchaser will perform a post-delivery inspection and issue either a "Letter of Acceptance" or a "Letter of Rejection" to Contractor, stating areas found to be in non-compliance with the proposal specifications, within ten (10) business days from receipt of vehicle(s). Placing any new vehicle into revenue service will automatically constitute acceptance of vehicle by Purchaser. However, a Letter of Acceptance should still be sent to the Contractor prior to placing vehicle into revenue service. m. Acceptance of the vehicles shall not release the Contractor from liability for faulty workmanship or materials. 20 CMPC-I4-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium 1.17 FEDERAL AND STATE TAX The Purchaser's are exempt from payment of Federal Excise Tax and Colorado State Tax.

Termination shall be effected by serving a notice of termination on the Contractor, setting forth the manner in which the Contractor is in default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in the contract. c. If it is later determined by the CMPC that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not performing, such as a strike, fire or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the Contractor, the CMPC, after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience. 31 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium d. The CMPC in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the contractor an appropriately short period of time in which to cure the defect.

If the contractor fails to remedy to the Purchaser's satisfaction the breach or default or any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Purchasing Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by contractor or written notice from the recipient setting forth the nature of said breach or default, the recipient shall have the right to terminate the Agreement without any further obligation to the contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude the Purchaser from also pursuing all available remedies against the contractor and its sureties for said breach or default. e. In the event that the Purchaser elects to waive its remedies for any breach by contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Purchasing Agreement, such waiver by the Purchaser shall not limit its remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Purchasing Agreement. 1.43 GOVERNMENT WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 49 CFR Part 29.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT) 49 CFR Part 29, Executive Orders 12549, 12689, and 31 U.S.C.6101 (Contracts over$25,000) Background and Applicability In conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and other affected Federal agencies, DOT published an update to 49 CFR Part 29 on November 26, 2003. This government-wide regulation implements Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension, Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension, and 31 U.S.C. 6101 note (Section 2455, Public Law 103-355, 108 Stat. 3327). The provisions of Part 29 apply to all grantee contracts and subcontracts at any level expected to equal or exceed $25,000 as well as any contract or subcontract (at any level) for Federally required auditing services. 49 CFR 29.220(b). This represents a change from prior practice in that the dollar threshold for application of these rules has been lowered from $100,000 to $25,000. These are contracts and subcontracts referred to in the regulation as "covered transactions." Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors (at any level) that enter into covered transactions are required to verify that the entity (as well as its principals and affiliates) they propose to contract or subcontract with is not excluded or disqualified. They do this by (a) Checking the Excluded Parties List System, (b) Collecting a certification from that person, or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the contract or subcontract. This represents a change from prior practice in that certification is still acceptable but is no longer required. 49 CFR 29.300. Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors who enter into covered transactions also must require the entities they contract with to comply with 49 CFR 29, subpart C and include this requirement in their own subsequent covered transactions (i.e., the requirement flows down to subcontracts at all levels). Instructions for Certification: By signing and submitting this bid or proposal, the prospective lower tier participant is providing the signed certification set out below. Suspension and Debarment This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 49 CFR Part 29. As such, the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals, as defined at 49 CFR 29.995, or affiliates, as defined at 49 CFR 29.905, are excluded or disqualified as defined at 49 CFR 29.940 and 29.945. The contractor is required to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C and must include the requirement to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into. By signing and submitting its bid or proposal, the bidder or proposer certifies as follows: The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact relied upon by the recipient. If it is later determined that the bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to remedies available to the recipient, the Federal 60 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR 29, Subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT) 49 CFR Part 29,Executive Orders 12549, 12689,and 31 U.S.C.6101 (Contracts over$25,000) Background and Applicability In conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and other affected Federal agencies, DOT published an update to 49 CFR Part 29 on November 26, 2003. This government-wide regulation implements Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension, Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension, and 31 U.S.C. 6101 note (Section 2455, Public Law 103-355, 108 Stat. 3327). The provisions of Part 29 apply to all grantee contracts and subcontracts at any level expected to equal or exceed $25,000 as well as any contract or subcontract(at any level) for Federally required auditing services. 49 CFR 29.220(b). This represents a change from prior practice in that the dollar threshold for application of these rules has been lowered from $100,000 to $25,000. These are contracts and subcontracts referred to in the regulation as"covered transactions." Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors (at any level) that enter into covered transactions are required to verify that the entity (as well as its principals and affiliates) they propose to contract or subcontract with is not excluded or disqualified. They do this by (a) Checking the Excluded Parties List System, (b) Collecting a certification from that person, or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the contract or subcontract. This represents a change from prior practice in that certification is still acceptable but is no longer required. 49 CFR 29.300. Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors who enter into covered transactions also must require the entities they contract with to comply with 49 CFR 29, subpart C and include this requirement In their own subsequent covered transactions (i.e., the requirement flows down to subcontracts at all levels). Instructions for Certification: By signing and submitting this bid or proposal, the prospective lower tier participant is providing the signed certification set out below. Suspension and Debarment This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 49 CFR Part 29. As such, the contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals, as defined at 49 CFR 29.995, or affiliates, as defined at 49 CFR 29.905, are excluded or disqualified as defined at 49 CFR 29.940 and 29.945. The contractor is required to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C and must include the requirement to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into. By signing and submitting its bid or proposal, the bidder or proposer certifies as follows: The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact relied upon by the recipient. If It Is later determined that the bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to remedies available to the recipient, the Federal 60 CMPC-14-BOC-RFP March 2014 Colorado Mountain Purchasing Part 1 Consortium Government may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR 29, Subpart C while this offer is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.

There may come a time when repairs covered under your Warranty Policy are needed. The following information is provided to help you understand how to utilize the Warranty services and get your bus back on the road. It is our desire to serve you as quickly and effectively as possible. What is Warranty intended to do? The Warranty Policy described in the Owner's Certificate is intended to cover the reasonable cost of making repairs to your bus for parts that fail within the designated Warranty period. Having the cost of a repair covered under the Warranty policy means you have followed all the maintenance procedures outlined in the Owner's Manual. It also means the part failed within the designated Warranty period. The Warranty Policy does not cover routine maintenance. It, also, does not cover repairs for parts failing outside the designated Warranty period. If you have any questions,please contact our Warranty Administrator, Erica Turnbull. When does my bus Warranty go into effect? Your new bus Warranty goes into effect at the mileage and on the date it is delivered and/or registered, whichever comes first. What should I do when I need a Warranty repair? If you have a problem, prior to making the repair, contact our Service Support Manager, Andy Cook or our Warranty Administrator and,explain the problem in detail. Together, we will come to a solution to get your bus back into operation with the least amount of inconvenience. Andy Cook will be equipped with a service vehicle so that he can travel to your location and perform warranty repairs onsite or assist you with troubleshooting should your service department prefer to handle the repairs themselves. Please note all repairs must have prior approval by the Warranty Administrator, Erica Turnbull at 770-422- 8920 or 1-800-282-7981. Please have the following information available: 1. Body Number 2.

Depending on the type of problem, the Warranty Administrator will discuss with you the best way to get your bus back on the road. We may dispatch our mobile service support personnel, ask you to return the bus to the National Bus Sales service facility in Grand Junction or take it to another authorized Warranty service facility. If circumstances warrant, you will also be given authorization to repair it at your own facility. What procedure do I follow when Warranty repairs are made at my own facility? Call the National Bus Sales Warranty Administrator(Erica Turnbull) or Service Support Manager(Andy Cook)prior to taking any action, at that time you will be given an authorization number.

Once you receive the authorization number and replacement part(if necessary)from National, you may then perform the required repair. How do I get parts for Warranty repairs performed at my own facility? 1. Call the Warranty Administrator for the authorization number and to request the needed parts.
