A. The FMP shall plan for and discuss the overall management of the entire fleet of vehicles and <br />related support functions and equipment, addressing all the reasonably foreseeable factors that <br />are relevant to the determination of equipment needs in light of demand for service. It should <br />address in detail the composition of the fleet, operating conditions, maintenance, facilities, peak <br />vehicle demand, and spare ratio; <br />B. The FMP shall discuss in detail: <br />a. Requirements for peak and spare vehicles including schedule spares, maintenance <br />spares, parts spares, <br />b. Requirements for support functions such as heavy maintenance, capital and operating <br />parts inventory and information technology, <br />c. Strategies for acquiring new vehicles or overhauling existing equipment and the tradeoffs <br />between them, <br />d. Strategies for maintenance and operations including reducing spare vehicles, and <br />e. Strategies for reducing operating costs and increasing service reliability. <br />C. The FMP shall include operating and financial data such as current estimates of vehicle operating <br />costs, reliability and life expectancy, for decision-making and performance review. <br />D. The FMP shall be formatted and calculated in conformance with FTA Circular 9030.1D, <br />specifically with respect to: <br />a. Definition of terms, <br />b. Description of existing system and expansion plans, both project and non -project related, <br />c. Justification of the demand for revenue vehicles and operating spare ratio, <br />d. Process for reconciling demand versus supply to determine if additional vehicles will be <br />needed, overhauled, procured or other changes in maintenance practices, inventory, <br />information technology, capital investment will be implemented instead; <br />e. Preventive maintenance schedule for the procured/overhauled rail car fleet; <br />f. Grantee's reliability program, past performance and plans to improve reliability including <br />profile monitoring and support of maintenance, failure rates and rail cars out -of -service, <br />and train failure definitions and actions; <br />E. The FMP shall discuss the selection and specification of vehicle equipment and systems and how <br />the specifications matched the appropriate technology with the planned transit applications for the <br />best performance at the lowest cost. <br />F. The FMP shall ensure that the project's estimates of costs, service levels, quality, or reliability are <br />mechanically correct and complete, consistent with the grantee -defined methodologies and free <br />of any material inaccuracies or incomplete data. <br />G. The FMP shall discuss the project's forecasts and schedule, to be consistent with the plan scope <br />and project scope adopted in the Record of Decision (if applicable) and the proposed Revenue <br />Operations Date and shall free of any material inaccuracies or incomplete data. <br />Task 4 Deliverables: <br />1.
