About this file

This is a Cost Proposal Template for Mobility Vans, solicitation number 26-84944, issued by a state transportation agency. The document provides detailed instructions for vendors to complete a comprehensive cost proposal for purchasing multiple types of mobility vehicles, including Low Floor Minivans, Small Transit Vehicles, Large Transit Vehicles, and Ford Transit Cutaway vehicles. Vendors are required to populate yellow-shaded cells in an Excel workbook, providing pricing for base vehicles and various optional equipment configurations. The proposal requires precise formatting, with specific instructions about entering dollar amounts and percentage values, and warns that incorrect formatting or incomplete responses may result in disqualification.

The cost proposal template includes extensive optional equipment specifications for each vehicle type, such as wheelchair lift modifications, seating configurations, accessibility features, communication systems, and paint schemes. Pricing must account for mandatory and optional equipment, with vendors required to provide additional cost or reduction amounts for each specified option. The document emphasizes that federal funding guidelines may supersede state terms and conditions, and vendors must be aware of minimum vehicle specifications and federally-driven contract terms. The proposal allows for yearly producer price index adjustments for years 2-4 of the contract, indicating a multi-year procurement strategy for mobility vehicle acquisition.

The seat may vary from the previously stated requirements for both the design and the dimensions of regular passenger seats.

The seat shall be in addition to the basic number of passenger seating positions required in the vehicle and shall not count toward the minimum passenger seating capacity required for this vehicle. The seat shall accommodate one seated adult passenger with reasonable comfort.

Each fold away shall have one seat belt. Each belt shall be equipped with a retractor that keeps the belt webbing or strap off the floor when the belt is not in use.

Each fold away seat shall have a vinyl-covered cushion on the seat and seat back. The color of the seat and seat back cushions shall be the same as those of the regular passenger seats, or they may be black.

The seat shall be designed to remain in a vertical position when folded up and if a spring, or other type of mechanism, is used to return the seat from the horizontal to the vertical position, the return mechanism will not create a safety hazard for a passenger arising from the seat.

Folding, molded armrests shall be provided on all foldaway seats adjacent to an aisle.

Grab rails shall be provided as well.

Flat Floor With No Wheel Wells: In lieu of (or in addition to) the floor described in the specifications, the floor shall be completely flat from the rear of the vehicle to the top step in the vestibule to the right of the driver. If design of the chassis does not allow for the raised floor to be incorporated into the step well, then the additional step can be positioned behind the driver's seat. The floor structure shall consist of a series of lengthwise and cross-sectional steel members (12 gauge minimum).

The height of the lengthwise and cross-sectional members shall be approximately equal with the intent of bringing the top of the composite floor structure to the same elevation as the top of the rear wheelwell housings. Alternative methods of construction yielding the same intent may be permitted with prior approval of INDOT. The raised floor shall provide a minimum of 73 inches of headroom.

The floor shall be constructed of ¾ inch Marine Grade plywood with an aluminum underbelly pan.
