Our efforts are aimed at guaranteeing that Gillig delivers a high quality transit vehicle to I <br /> Decatur. In this capacity, TRC would provide the following services. 'I <br /> Task 1: Pre-Production Activities I <br /> Before the start of production of Decatur's buses, TRC will carry out the following <br /> preparations: <br /> a) Conduct a thorough review of Decatur's bus specifications, approved equals, subsequent <br /> engineering changes, and all notes and communications on technical issues. TRC �vill also <br /> review all inspection reports and technical correspondence generated during the <br /> fabrication of the first bus for the Decatur Public Transit System. TRC wili discuss our <br /> findings and questions from this review with the transit system's staff. <br /> b) TRC will prepare a Master Resolution List (MRL) for use during this project. The NIRL <br /> would be created by merging the vehicle technical specifications, the options accepted, <br /> approved equals, engineering change orders, and other technical correspondence. The <br /> MRL will be updated continuously throughout the project. <br /> c) TRC will meet with the Gillig production manager to identify and inspect materials <br /> intended for use on Decatur Public Transit System's buses. <br /> Immediately following the completion of the above work items, the TRC inspector will submit <br /> a written report to Decatur, which will relay the followin� information: <br /> • Notification to Decatur of any concerns about contract compliance, specifications, or <br /> scheduling delays. <br /> + Submission of TRC's planned inspector forms to be used for the Decatur Public Transit <br /> System's project. <br /> Task 2: Production Line Inspection Activities <br /> TRC's Resident Inspector will be assigned to the inspection iines at the Gillig plant in <br /> Hayward, California. The inspector will have available a checklist of items to monitor and <br /> survey as prescribed by FTA for each unit of the contract for the following areas: <br /> • Pre-shipment configuration audit(pilot bus) <br /> • Pre-shipment inspection—visual—and measurement surveillance (every coach 100%) <br /> Decahu•Public Ti-ansit S}stem - 23 - Contracl.jor Post-Delive���Audit <br />
