operation. The tests shall be conducted and documented in accordance with written test <br />plans. Additional tests may be conducted at Manufacturer's discretion to ensure that the <br />completed vehicles have attained the desired quality and have met the requirements in <br />Part 2: Technical Specifications. This additional testing shall be recorded on appropriate <br />test forms provided by Manufacturer. The pre-delivery tests shall be scheduled and <br />conducted with sufficient notice so that they may be witnessed by TRIPS line <br />inspectors, who may accept or reject the results of the tests. The results of pre-delivery <br />test, and any other tests, shall be filed with the assembly inspection records for each <br />vehicle. The under-floor equipment shall be made available for inspection by the TRIPS <br />inspectors, using a pit or vehicle hoist provided by Manufacturer. A hoist, scaffold, or <br />elevated platform shall be provided by Manufacturer to easily and safely inspect vehicle <br />roofs. The TRIPS may also conduct pre-delivery tests at Dealer locations. It is Dealer’s <br />responsibility to ensure that the vehicle inspection is scheduled through the TRIPS <br />Program. The results of this inspection will accompany the vehicle upon delivery to the <br />purchaser. <br />7.3 Inspection-Visual and Measured <br />Visual and measured inspections shall be conducted with the vehicle in a static <br />condition. The purpose of the inspection testing is to verify overall dimensional and <br />weight requirements to verify that the required components are included and are ready <br />for operation, and to verify that components and subsystems that are designed to <br />operate with the vehicle in the static condition do function as designed. <br />7.4 Total Vehicle Operation <br />Total vehicle operation shall be evaluated during road tests. The purpose of the road <br />tests is to observe and verify the operation of the vehicle as a system and to verify the <br />functional operation of the subsystem that can be operated only while the vehicle is in <br />motion. Each vehicle shall be driven for a minimum of fifteen (15) miles during the road <br />tests. Observed defects shall be recorded on the test forms. The vehicle shall be <br />retested when defects are corrected and adjustments are made. This process shall <br />continue until defects or required adjustments are no longer detected. Results shall be <br />pass/fail for these vehicle operation tests. After the road test, the line inspector <br />representing the TRIPS reserves the right to have Manufacturer either raise the vehicle <br />or drive the vehicle across a pit to allow the inspector to check the undercarriage. <br />8.0 POST-DELIVERY TESTS <br />The TRIPS may conduct acceptance tests on each delivered vehicle. The purpose of <br />these tests are to identify defects that have become apparent between the time of <br />vehicle release and delivery to the purchaser. The post-delivery tests shall include <br />visual inspection and vehicle operations. Vehicles that fail to pass the post-delivery tests <br />are subject to non-acceptance. The TRIPS shall record details of all defects notify <br />Manufacturer of non-acceptance of each vehicle within five (5) working days after <br />completion of these tests. The defects detected during these tests shall be repaired <br />Florida Department of Transportation <br />Public Transit Office <br /> <br />TRIPS-22-CA-MB-LF-Model1 <br />Standard Cutaway and Minibus <br />Chassis Type Transit Vehicles <br />Page 30 of 196 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 6FD53F08-2BF8-412C-A338-B935DB86415F
