Specifications include, but are not limited to: Sioux Area Metro (SAM) provides transit services for the City. A total of (twelve) 12 distinct routes servicing much of the City. SAM routes transfer at a Downtown Depot where most routes pulse into the Depot in close coordination to provide effective transit service coverage. SAM operates these (twelve) 12 routes with (twenty six) 26, 2009–2018 Gillig 30- and 35-foot buses. The Proposer’s proposal shall include the following cost and service options for the following two scenarios: 1. APC units and services as explained below for all (twenty six) 26 Gillig buses. 2. Eight (8) APC units and services as explained below that would be installed on a mix of the 30- and 35-foot buses. The proposal shall then discuss sampling and route rotating procedures that would ensure that APC data is available for all routes and time points on a weekly basis.
