Report
Summary
The Contractor will provide vehicle decommissioning services prior to sending transit vehicles to the City's contracted auction yard for sale to the public after the vehicles have reached or exceeded their useful lives. Primary services will be removing exterior markings and decals from vehicles, and repainting areas as needed in order to ensure all transit-related markings are removed prior to a vehicle's final disposition. Additional services may include tasks such as removing on-board, transit-specific electronic equipment for potential re-use. By utilizing these services, the City ensures that the transit vehicles are no longer identified as part of the current transit fleet, but still retain some value for resale.
