Title

Sole Source Agreement for the Purchase of Nineteen Near-Zero Emission Bus Engines for the Midlife Overhaul of Articulated Buses

 

Overview

The Orange County Transportation Authority’s active revenue vehicle fleet includes 20 New Flyer 60-foot articulated, compressed natural gas-powered buses, that are model year 2013, and are in need of a midlife engine replacement.  There is only one compressed natural gas engine currently available for purchase that has been certified by the State of California for transit buses.  In order to advance the midlife engine replacement for the articulated bus fleet, a sole source agreement is required to proceed with the engine replacement. 

 

Recommendation(s)

Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and execute Purchase Order No. C-9-1085 between the Orange County Transportation Authority and Cummins Pacific, LLC, in the amount of $1,348,248, for the purchase of 19 replacement Cummins L9N near-zero emission compressed natural gas-powered engines.
