SORTA seeks 29 replacement inventory parts for its transit fleet, including bus-specific body, suspension, electrical, and engine components. - Buyer: Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA), Inventory Department; buyer contact listed as David Drummonds. - OEMs and named brands: Gillig (LF bus fitment), KONI (the specified rear shock absorber must be KONI), and Modine (radiator assembly). ISL is also referenced for a water-pump pulley, but no manufacturer is identified for that item. The notice does not name a vendor for most parts. - Requested products: 29 line items, with quantities and part numbers detailed below. Parts include clamps, lamps, battery-box hardware, body panels and seals, suspension components, washer-system parts, engine components, electrical parts, an air reservoir, a radiator, and barrier glass. - Notable requirements: The rear shock absorber is KONI-only. Several components are specified for particular Gillig LF vehicles or fleet-number ranges; the radiator is a Modine assembly for 2000–2400-series diesel buses, and the torque rod is specified at 80 KSI. Alternate part numbers appear on several items; suppliers should ensure the offered part meets the listed fitment and specification. - Freight must be included in quoted pricing, and suppliers are asked to state lead time in days for the requested quantities.
