3.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 GENERAL

Each vehicle shall be new (unused), current production as specified in the solicitation at the line item description. Vehicles bid must meet or exceed the requirements in the solicitation line item description. Each vehicle shall be supplied with all equipment and accessories indicated as standard equipment in the manufacturer’s published literature (or web site). Optional equipment necessary to meet the minimum requirements of this specification shall be included.

Vehicles that are produced by converting an existing gasoline or diesel fueled vehicle into a BEV shall meet the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Body Builders Standards and Guidelines.

3.2 CHARGING

All applicable vehicles shall come equipped with charging plugs that allow for charging at the maximum available level via CCS-Type 1 connection. Proprietary charging plugs or cables shall be supplied with adapter to meet CCS-Type 1 connection.

3.3 BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), use a battery pack to store the electrical energy that powers the motor. The batteries are charged by plugging the vehicle in to an electric power source. These vehicles are classified as zero-emission vehicles because they produce no direct exhaust or tailpipe emissions.

3.4 FUEL CELL VEHICLE

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) use fuel cells, sometimes in combination with a small battery or supercapacitor, to power its onboard electric motor. The fuel cells in these vehicles generate electricity generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen. These vehicles are classified as zero-emissions vehicles that emit only water and heat.

3.5 COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS VEHICLE

Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle (CNGV) uses CNG as its fuel source. These vehicles are typically designed for heavy-duty applications, such as trucks and buses, due to LNG’s high energy density and the ability to store large amounts of fuel in a compact space. Vehicles with a GVWR of more than 26,000 pounds must be equipped with air brakes.

3.6 RANGE

All vehicles shall have at least an 80 mile range at maximum GVWR

The following items (supplementing, if necessary, those items already cataloged as standard equipment) shall be furnished:

• Power steering

• Tilt steering wheel

• Heater / Air Conditioner

• AM/FM Radio

• Back-up alarm, 97db (minimum)

• Original Equipment Manufacturer (O.E.M.) floor mat sets installed in all seating rows where the vehicle comes with carpeted floors.

3.8 VANS

The solicitation line item description and the technical questionnaire shall specify the configuration, which is defined as follows:

• Cargo Vans: Equipped with at least 2 passenger doors and cab seating for 2 passengers, with at least 1 cargo access door on the passenger side, and full access rear doors, a pass through from the cab to the cargo area.
