Description:
As the buses available to the transit industry have expanded to include high tech fleets, purchasing a vehicle has become more complicated and requires discussions with the manufacturers to get the bus that will best meet the agency’s needs. A well thought out, streamlined, procurement process not only benefits the agency, but allows manufacturers a more consistent approach for their proposals, and more accountability for how federal dollars are spent.
Audience:
The target audience for this workshop is the procurement manager and project manager who work on bus procurements. Agencies are encouraged to send a procurement team to the workshop when possible. Because vehicle procurements require strong cross-departmental cooperation and communication, other key staff involved in procuring buses, including representatives from finance, maintenance and legal departments are also encouraged to attend this workshop.
Objectives:
This workshop will:
- Highlight FTA procurement requirements
- Examine bus procurement processes
- Review the 2011 APTA Standard Bus Procurement Guidelines document
- Provide opportunities for dialog between manufacturers and agencies
Length: Two Days
