Project Description The Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (HAFE) operates a transit shuttle fleet comprised of ten vehicles; among these are six (6) brand-name specific 35-foot Gillig `Phantom¿ transit buses that provide regular service from spring through fall. Manufactured in 2005, the Phantoms show very little sign of rust and corrosion and have accumulated roughly 150,000 miles of their 500,000-mile Altoona Bus Test rated mileage. The Cummins diesel engines have roughly 12,000 hours of operation on them. Information including Bus Identification Numbers (assigned by the park), Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs), and Engine Serial Numbers (assigned by Cummins) for each bus in the fleet will be included in the solicitation.
