Degradation of performance due to atmospheric conditions shall be minimized at temperatures below 10°F, above 115°F or at altitudes above 3,000 feet. Altitude requirements above 3,000 feet will need separate discussions with the engine manufacturer to ensure that performance requirements are not compromised. Speed, gradability and acceleration performance requirements shall be met at, or corrected to, 77°F, 29.31 in. Hg, dry air per SAE J1995. 4.8NoiseInterior noiseThe combination of inner and outer panels and any material used between them shall provide sufficient sound insulation so that a sound source with a level of 80 dBA measured at the outside skin of the bus shall have a sound level of 65 dBA or less at any point inside the bus. These conditions shall prevail with all openings, including doors and windows, closed and with the engine and accessories switched off. The bus-generated noise level experienced by a passenger at any seat location in the bus shall not exceed 80 dBA. The driver area shall not experience a noise level of more than 75 dBA. An exception shall be made for the turntable area, which shall be considered a separate environment.
All materials used in the construction of the passenger compartment of the bus shall be in accordance with the Recommended Fire Safety Practices defined in FMVSS 302, dated October 20, 1993. Materials entirely enclosed from the passenger compartment, such as insulation within the sidewalls and sub-floor, need not comply. In addition, smaller components and items, such as seat grab rails, switch knobs and small light lenses, shall be exempt from this requirement. 4.10Americans with Disabilities ActThe contractor shall comply with all applicable federal requirements defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 49 CFR Part 38, and all applicable state, provincial and local regulations. 4.11Respect for the environmentIn the design and manufacture of the bus, the contractor shall make every effort to reduce the amount of potentially hazardous waste.
