Attachment_Z_-_Response_to_Question_20.pdf

This document is Attachment Z - Response to Question 20, part of the RFP 24-P-64AK for the Volusia County Transit Operator (VOTRAN) Maintenance Plan. The attachment provides a detailed Fixed Route Replacement and Improvement Plan and a Paratransit Replacement and Improvement Plan spanning from 2012 to 2032. The plan outlines the current and projected fleet composition, including various bus models such as 35 ft. Gillig Hybrid, Low Floor, and Cutaway vehicles. The total fleet consists of 69 fixed route buses and 78 paratransit vehicles, with a consistent peak service requirement of 53 fixed route and 58 paratransit vehicles throughout most of the planning period.

The document shows a steady spare ratio of 30.19% for fixed route vehicles until 2024, after which it reduces to 20.41%. For paratransit vehicles, the spare ratio remains constant at 34.48% across the entire planning horizon. The fleet includes various bus types powered by different fuel sources, including hybrid, propane, and standard models. The plan demonstrates a strategic approach to vehicle replacement, with some bus models scheduled for non-replacement in specific years, indicating a carefully managed fleet renewal strategy that balances vehicle age, performance, and operational requirements.
