Form TECH – 3 Detailed drawings
The Bidder will submit detailed drawings of the proposed body shape for each product option being offered. The drawings imagery will highlight the exterior shape of the vehicle. The drawings should offer at least four perspectives: right side, left side, front, and rear. The Bidder may also provide imagery of similar vehicles.
The Bidder shall also provide detailed drawings of the vehicle interior with the key dimensions clearly noted.
The detailed drawings shall be attached to Section 4 (Bidding Forms).
Form TECH – 4 Description of body and structural materials
The Bidder will submit a description of the body and structural materials utilized for the vehicles. The technical specification calls for the use of high strength corrosive‐resistant materials. Mild steel is the minimum requirement for the body and structural elements of the vehicles. The use of materials with superior strength, corrosion resistance, and overall durability is encouraged. The use of stainless steel alloys (such as 3CR-12), high-carbon steel, glass-reinforced plastic (GFRP), aluminum, and other materials should be considered, particularly for critical sections of the body and structural elements.
The description of the body and structural materials shall be attached to Section 4 (Bidding Forms).
Form TECH – 5 List of spare parts and supplies
The Supplier shall provide all replacement parts and supplies for all maintenance issues resulting from normal wear and tear as well as items requiring scheduled replacements. The third-party BRT Vehicle Operators will be responsible for all materials and associated costs for repair actions caused by road collisions or other unscheduled incidents.
The supply of spare parts and supplies will cover the period from the delivery of the first vehicles through the duration of the contract (24 months from the final delivery of the vehicles in accordance with GCC/SCC Sub Clause 28.3). Two BRT Vehicle Operators will be contracted by the Purchaser. The spare parts will be distributed between the two different BRT Vehicle Operators at two different depot sites. The Supplier must thus provide two sets of spare parts, one for each depot facility.
Before the conclusion of the contract, the Supplier will also provide a final stock of spare parts and supplies at each depot facility. The table below is the minimum list of spare parts and supplies to be provided at the conclusion of the contract. The quantities of spare parts and supplies to be provided during the contract period and at contract conclusion are found in Volume II of the Technical Specifications. Two sets of the spare parts and supplies are to be provided.
If any spare part or supply listed in the table below is not applicable to the vehicle technology, the Bidder will make note of this non-applicability. The Bidder will also indicate any additional spare parts and supplies that will be provided during the contract period and may add those parts in the list provided in the table below.
