Purchase of CNG Cutaway Buses RFP

The City of Wilsonville, through its Transit Department, South Metro Area Regional Transit (hereinafter “SMART”), is requesting price quotes for the purchase of three (3) medium size buses (the “Project”) that:

• Are light duty transit buses;
• Have a dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG) engine;
• Hold approximately 21 ambulatory passengers;
• Have two (2) wheelchair stations in tandem (not side by side); and
• Have a front loading lift.

Because SMART intends to keep these vehicles in service for at least five (5) years, these buses must be Altoona/STURAA tested for 5‐yr/150,000 miles. In addition, because SMART views Class 1 failures as serious defects, vehicles must not have any Class 1 failures or more than two (2) Class 2 failures reported in the most recent executive summary. This is a Minimum Required Specification. (Responsive/Non‐Responsive). This Project does involve federal funds.

SMART also seeks quotes and delivery timelines for three (3) additional transit buses that it may purchase in the next eighteen (18) months.
