The ODOT Transit Vehicle Term Contracts are competitively bid contracts established for the purchase of vehicles under the FTA Section 5310 Program which ODOT administers. ODOT establishes these contracts and then issues purchase orders accordingly for vehicles awarded under the Section 5310 Program. A sample resolution can be found in section V, Attachment V-B of the Rural Transit Manual.
