Appendix A to Part 665 - Bus Model Scoring System and the Pass/Fail
Standard 1. Bus Model Scoring System
The Bus Model Scoring System shall be used to score the test
results using the performance standards in each category. A bus
model that fails to meet a minimum performance standard shall be
deemed to have failed the test and will not receive an aggregate
score. For buses that have passed all the minimum performance
standards, an aggregate score shall be generated and presented in
each Bus Testing Report. A bus model that just satisfies the
minimum baseline performance standard and does not exceed any of
the standards shall receive a score of 60. The maximum score a bus
model shall receive is 100. The minimum and maximum points
available in each test category shall be as shown below in Table A.
The Bus Testing report will include a scoring summary table that
displays the resulting scores in each of the test categories and
subcategories. The scoring summary table shall have a disclaimer
footnote stating that the use of the scoring system is not
mandatory, only that the bus being procured receive a passing
score.
2. Pass/Fail Standard
The passing standard shall be a score of 60. Bus models that
fail to meet one or more of the minimum baseline performance
standards will be ineligible to obtain an aggregate passing
score.
