Abstract:The purpose of this manual is to guide transit agencies in the development of contracting documents and contracting relationships. Although the manual focuses on rural, small urban, and specialized transit operations, it contains useful information for all public agencies intending to purchase vehicle maintenance services through competitively awarded contracts. The manual is intended to be used for self study or to provide backgroud material for workshop style training. Classroom exercises are included for this purpose. To emphasize important and/or complex concepts, the manual contains numerous brief case studies. The manual contains 5 chapters, four devoted to contract concepts - guidelines for contracting, competitive bidding, competitive negotiation, and contract controlling. One chapter focuses on the relationship between the agency and the contractor when the agency requires the contractor to test its employees for drugs and alcohol. The manual also contains three appendices, including statutes governing contracting, case studies, and samples of the "state-of-the-practice" of maintenance contracting throughout the country, and special handling considerations when maintaining alternative fueled vehicles
