| Abstract | This manual has been written primarily to assist transit agency managers and supervisors who are considering the procurement of vehicle maintenance services from private, independent contractors. The tone of the manual focuses on rural and small urban transit agencies. However, the principals are still valid regardless of the size of the transit agency and they are applicable to other, non-transit, public agencies. It should provide these persons with assistance in developing mechanisms for monitoring vehicle maintenance services. Included in the manual are a review of the rationale, process, and methods that can be used in service maintenance contracting. Transit agencies receiving funds from the federal government are expected to be aware of the federal rules and regulations that constrain and define the procedures used to maintain a high level of effective and efficient service and to provide both passengers and the public with a safe means of transportation. This involves knowing the federal rules on drug testing, competitive bidding, disadvantaged business enterprises, as well as the general rules of contracting. |
