About this file
This is a document from the Maine Department of Transportation addressing approved equals and exceptions submitted by Dattco for Solicitation RFQ 17D 12050800000000000969, a mass transportation contract for a transit bus 12+2 small cutaway vehicle. The document records decisions on five specification deviations requested by Dattco dated June 4, 2012. The requests addressed passenger window light transmittance (20% approved), air conditioning line placement (denied), modesty panel construction using Rontex fabric glued to plywood with C-channel trim (denied), passenger seats with Child Restraint System hooks instead of integrated child restraint three-point seats (clarification required), and rustproofing warranty standards (approved).
Of the five requests for approved equals or exceptions, two were approved, two were denied, and one required clarification. The approved items included the passenger window light transmittance specification and the rustproofing warranty standard. The denial of the air conditioning line configuration and modesty panel construction indicates that Dattco's proposed alternatives did not meet departmental specifications. The clarification needed on the passenger seat configuration suggests the department required additional information or discussion regarding the CRS hook in three-point option before making a final determination on that exception.
