Attachment_B_-_Vehicle_Attributes_and_Operational_Restrictions_Matrix.pdf

Attachment B is a Vehicle Attributes and Operational Restrictions Matrix for the Jacksonville Transportation Authority's (JTA) State of Florida Automated Transit Vehicle Procurement (Solicitation P-24-019), which serves as a compliance documentation framework for bidders responding to this state-wide initiative. The matrix requires proposers to provide comprehensive vehicle specifications including physical dimensions (length, width, height), seating capacity, maximum speed, and ambient temperature operating ranges, along with certifications for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), Altoona testing, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, and Buy America requirements. Bidders must document their Operational Design Domain (ODD) capabilities and identify intended compliance dates for each requirement, while also specifying operational restrictions and capabilities across various conditions including mixed traffic, construction zones, school zones, nighttime operations, rain, high wind, and water on road scenarios. Sealed proposals are due September 11, 2024, at 2:00 PM through the JTA OpenGov Procurement Portal, with the contract period spanning five years with no renewal options and potential implementation beginning in late 2025.

The solicitation is open to vendors across Florida and the Continental United States and anticipates potentially multiple contract awards based on competitive best-value selection with a maximum score of 100 points. While no specific budget or pricing information is provided in the matrix document, the procurement encourages proposers to work toward JTA's overall Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 27% participation. Proposers must demonstrate compliance with federal regulations including Buy America requirements and provide detailed safety plans, community engagement strategies, and evidence of sensor redundancy and cybersecurity measures for their automated driving systems. The procurement allows flexibility in fleet sizes, deployment models, and fleet management strategies, enabling vendors to propose tailored solutions that accommodate evolving transit agency needs across multiple implementation stages through 2027 and beyond.
