22. Besides the Operator Training Requirements outlined on pg 7 of the RFP, are there a
minimum amount of training hours the operators must have?

certain training modules (i.e. reasonable suspicion), the minimum of which must
be met.

There are currently radios installed in each of the vehicles. Radios are in good

vendor will not be responsible for providing new radios, but will be liable for any

Yes, the service provider is required to maintain and service the fareboxes.

Fuel is not a cost the City has typically done as pass-through; however, this item
could be discussed in the contract negotiation phase.
Addendum 3 Page 8 of 8
26. Fleet Management Section in the RFP reads (pg 8, Section VI, #2): “The Service Provider
is required to perform preventative and corrective maintenance for all leased vehicles
utilized for this service, as per federal regulations at Service Provider’s Expense.” Can we
get clarification of what exactly is included in corrective maintenance? Because, in
Attachment I, Fleet Management Guidance, #12 it states: The City agrees to facilitate and
incur the cost of major repairs to all vehicles leased from the City specifically for the
provision of this service. Major repairs include but are not limited to the engine and other
drive train components of the vehicle.” Service Provider agrees to pay the first $2,500 in
repairs.” At what point does corrective service go from minor to major?
Please see response to question #11.
