5-Alternative Submission-269-2026-2083 BOD Bus Paint Related Materials .xlsx

This is an alternative specifications submission document for ITB 269-2026-2083 issued by the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, for bus paint and related materials. The document provides a comprehensive list of 112 line items categorized by manufacturer and product type, including painting supplies, safety equipment, coatings, adhesives, abrasives, and finishing materials from vendors such as 3M, PPG, Fiberglas Evercoat, and numerous other suppliers. The specification sheet establishes baseline products with corresponding part numbers and units of measure, with columns designated for vendors to submit alternative part numbers and descriptions for approval. All alternative specifications must receive prior approval before submission in response to this ITB, ensuring that substituted products meet the City's requirements for quality and compatibility with transit vehicle maintenance operations.

The document functions as a specifications approval form rather than a pricing or award document, focusing on product equivalency and vendor alternatives rather than cost or contract terms. The list encompasses a wide range of materials necessary for comprehensive bus fleet maintenance, including primer, coatings, thinners, hardeners, abrasives, masking materials, protective equipment, and application tools. The City's intent is to ensure all supplied products are OEM-approved, new production materials meeting established quality standards with complete technical documentation. No pricing information, set-asides, incumbent vendor details, award dates, or contract renewal options are specified in this alternative specifications submission form.
