Rear Facing ADA Securement - Parts and Laboor

Lane Transit District is requesting proposals for removal and installation of ADA-compliant rear-facing wheelchair securement systems on nineteen New Flyer XD60 Bus Rapid Transit articulated buses, with proposals due November 13, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. PDT via the LTD eBid system (B2GNow). All installations must comply with 49 CFR Part 38 federal mobility accessibility regulations, requiring securement systems to restrain devices from moving no more than 2 inches in any direction under normal operating conditions—a core technical and regulatory requirement.

The scope encompasses removal of existing rear-facing securement devices and installation of two Q-Straint Quantum automatic wheelchair securement stations per bus. Deliverables include procurement of padded backrest/barrier assemblies, stabilizing lateral arms, occupant restraint belts, and mounting hardware, plus on-site structural integration and physical installation labor. All work must comply with Q-Straint manufacturer installation specifications, LTD facility rules, and applicable federal, state, and industry safety standards.

Vendors must register and submit proposals exclusively through the LTD B2GNow portal at https://ltd.gob2g.com/. Paper, facsimile, and email submissions are prohibited; late or incomplete proposals will not be accepted. LTD will evaluate proposals based on selection criteria identifying the most responsive, reasonable, and responsible qualified contractor offering the best solution and value. The source does not specify estimated contract value, contract term, incumbent contractor, set-asides, preference programs, evaluation weighting, or question and pre-bid meeting deadlines.
