(d) Unless prohibited by state law, upon request by the Federal Government, the Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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.

(g) Unless FTA 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 provided by FTA.

The odometer reading at the time of delivery was 791.0 miles. Testing started on February 24, 2000 and was completed on October 6, 2000. The Check -In section of the report provides a description of the bus and specifies its major components. The primary. part of the test program is the Structural Durability Test, which also provides the information for the Maintainability and Reliability results. The Structural Durability Test was started on August 3, 2000 and was completed on September 30, 2000. The first segment of the Structural Durability Test was performed with the bus loaded to a gross vehicle weight of 14,000 lbs. The number of standing passengers was reduced from 17 to 6 and two wheelchair positions. A reduction in passenger weight was necessary to avoid exceeding the GAWR (9,450 lbs.) of the rear axle. The middle segment was performed at a seated bad weight of 13,050 lbs. The final segment was performed at a curb weight of 10,275 lbs. Durability driving resulted in unscheduled maintenance that consisted of a variety of subsystem failures. These breakdowns can be found in a complete and detailed listing of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, which is provided in Section 1.2, Maintainability of this report. Accessibility, in general, was adequate, components covered in Section 1.3 (Repair and/or Replacement, of Selected Subsystems) along with all other components encountered during testing, were found to be readily accessible and no restrictions were noted. The Reliability Section compiles failures that occurred during Structural Durability Testing. Breakdowns are classified according to subsystems. The data in this section are arranged so that those'subsystems with more frequent problems are apparent. Problems are also listed by class as defined in Section 2. The test bus encountered no Class 1 or Class 2 failures. Of the four reported failures, three were Class 3 and one was Class 4. A SafetyTest, a double -lane change maneuver, was safely performed in both right- hand and left-hand directions up to a maximum test speed of 45 mph. The performance of the bus is illustrated by a speed vs. time plot. Acceleration and Gradeability Test data are provided in Section 4, Performance. The average time to obtain 50 mph was 17.37 seconds. The Shakedown Test produced a maximum final loaded deflection of 0.201 inches with a permanent set ranging between 0.000 to 0.005 inches under a distributed static load of 13,500 lbs. The Distortion Test was completed with all subsystems, doors and escape mechanisms operating properly. No water leakage was observed during the test. The test bus was not equipped with any type of tow eyes or tow hooks; therefore, the Static Towing Test was not performed. The Dynamic Towing Test was performed by means of a front lift tow. The towing interface was accomplished using a hydraulic under -lift. The bus was towed without incident and no damage resulted from the test. The manufacturer does not recommend towing the bus from the rear, therefore, a rear test was not performed. 3 The Jacking and Hoisting Tests were also performed without incident. The bus was found to be stable on the jack stands, and the minimum jacking clearance observed with a tire deflated was 8.1 inches. A Fuel Economy Test was run on simulated central business district, arterial, and commuter courses. The results were 5.17 mpg, 5.43 mpg, and 9.59 mpg respectively; with an overall average of 6.04 mpg. A series of Interior and Exterior Noise Tests was performed. These data are listed in Section 7.1 and 7.2 respectively. 4 Approved ='s for Ft. Collins Page 5 6.5 — OEM springs are rated for chassis capacity at fully loaded condition. There is no reason to add extra main leafs. An extra leaf spring is installed on lift side to prevent lean. Page 7 6.24 — Radio will not be Ford factory.

Section #1— Floor Construction I. Steel Sub Frame and Other Components 1. The steel sub frame shall be constructed from the following materials and assembled as follows: a) (4) 10-gauge long sills. The long sills are 4 '/4 ' wide x 1 '/4" high and the length depends on the model of the bus. These long sills are bolted to the OEM frame with grade 8 fine thread bolts and nuts supplied by the chassis manufacturer utilizing OEM rubber mount suspension system This allows the body to be mounted the same as the OEM cab which reduces any stress where the two are connected and helps isolate road vibrations from the body. b) 12-gauge standard cross members welded to long sills. These cross members are a modified "C" 1 ''h" wide x 3" high. The number of cross members depends on the model of the bus. (Ford) (Chevy's floor has 1 '/4" risers as per raised floor). c) 12-gauge rear cross member. This cross member is a modified "L" 2 '/2" wide x 3" high. (Ford) (Chevy = 2 '/2" x 4 '/4") (Raised floor = 2 ''/2" x 8 ''/2"). d) 12-gauge special cross members for behind the rear axle. This cross member is a modified "Z" shape 1 ''/2" wide x 1 '/2" high. (Ford only) e) 12-gauge floor side rails. These rails are designed to attach the sidewalls to the steel floor structure. The sizes range from 4" to 32" wide depending on location and model x 3 5/8" high. (Ford) (Chevy = 4 7/8" high). fl 14-gauge steel floor support tubes. These support tubes are x 1 '/2". The number of the support tubes depends on the model of the bus. These tubes are welded between the cross members to form a grid that ties the steel sub frame together. g) 12-gauge seat track. These tracks are 1 5/8" wide x 7/8" high and the length depends on the model of the bus. These seat tracks are welded every 6" to a 14- gauge steel strip that is 3 '/2" wide and is welded to the cross members. This attachment method assures that the passenger seating meets all applicable FMVSS requirements. h) 12-gauge wheel chair lift support. This support plate is 19" x 55 '/2" and is welded to the cross members under the wheel chair lift area. The support is designed as a secure point for the lift so it becomes an integral part of the steel sub frame. i) Rear wheel wells are constructed of 12-gauge steel. They are designed with a flange that welds under the lip of cross member to create a watertight seal. A flange at wall side also provides improved seal with wall. 2. Steel preparation and treatment. a) Steel sub frame shall be primed and painted after assembly to assure protection from rust and corrosion. UPDATED 7/1/02 1 OF 15 sruntur, Senator' Bus spemcauous Il. Wood Floor 1. The finished wood sub floor shall be a minimum %" thick Marine Tech plywood. The construction of the floor is as follows: a) Top layer is Marine Tech plywood. b) Center layer is '/2" Marine Tech plywood. c) Bottom layer is .019 aluminum vapor barrier. 2. The plywood layers are staggered to produce a seamless one-piece wood floor. The floor parts are assembled using staples and a hot -melt glue/press-roller process. All open cuts are sealed with a moisture barrier to prevent deterioration between layers of the floor. 3. The wood %" laminated floor is then installed on top of the steel sub frame with grade 5 floor bolts. A minimum of (6) six bolts per cross member is standard. 4. The floor track and wheel wells are sealed with an adhesive to prevent leaks. III. Finished Floor 1. Standard floor covering is black, 1/8" thick, transit type smooth rubber with 3/16" ribbed rubber in the entry way and the aisle.
