1. TENDERS
REQUIRED
This document describes the service for which the Corporation requires Tenders and
Tenderers
must submit a fully compliant bid. In addition, Tenderers
may wish to draw
upon their local knowledge to submit alternative bids which offer improved value for
money in meeting passenger needs. These might incorporate, for example, different
timings, frequencies, route structures and / or vehicles. The Corporation will welcome
such bids and give them careful consideration.
For more information, please refer to Section 2.1 of Part A of the Guide for Tenderers.
2. PROPOSED
CHANGES
At this time, no changes are proposed to the existing service for introduction prior to the
commencement of the new route agreement for Route No. 17.
Tenderers should note that the following alterations (subject to consultation) are
proposed as part of this Service Specification for introduction with the new Route
Agreement:
• 87 capacity double deck, dual door buses will be specified subject to a satisfactory
route test.
• Change to standing arrangements for route 17 at London Bridge Bus Station, with
buses temporarily standing at Stop A in London Bridge Street while building work
is carried out. Expected duration 12 months. Buses to set down, stand and pick up
at Stop A.
3. TERMINALS
Route No. 17 will operate between Archway Station, Junction Road and London Bridge
Bus Station.
Full details of the route to be followed, the permitted terminal worKing’s and the
available stands are shown at Appendix B. Tenderers should particularly note the
information relating to the shared usage of stands, the taking of meal reliefs and the use
of ferry vehicles.

Service Specification for Route No. 17 - 17/07/2009
5. VEHICLE
TYPE
Please refer to Section 2.5 of Part A of the Guide for Tenderers.
Route No. 17 is currently approved for vehicles which are a maximum of 10.1 metres
long and 2.55 metres wide. A formal route test will be required for vehicles which
exceed these dimensions. This will be arranged with the successful Tenderer.
The service requirement set out in Section 6 assumes that dual door, double deck
buses with a minimum capacity of 87 of which approximately 60 should be seated, will
be used on this route. Luggage space should also be provided.
Tenderers must submit proposals based on new vehicles. These must be of a low floor
design and be accessible to wheelchairs by means of a powered ramp.
Bids for both conventional diesel powered vehicles and diesel-electric hybrid
vehicles should be submitted and separate prices for both types are required.
Bids based on a mix of hybrid and conventional vehicles would be welcomed,
subject to a minimum of 10 hybrid powered vehicles being offered for this
route (full hybrid operation should be offered for routes with a vehicle
requirement of less than 10).
Tenderers should refer to the vehicle design (including accessibility) features contained
in Schedule II to Annex B of the Framework Agreement and Section 2 Part B of the
Master ITT (Version 2 issued June 2005).
Tenderers may also submit bids based on using existing vehicles. Tenderers are
asked to specify what refurbishment would be carried out on existing buses and the
expected timescale of those works. See Master ITT (Version 2 issued June 2005).
3
Service Specification for Route No. 17 - 17/07/2009
6. FREQUENCIES
The level of service (e.g. every 15 minutes) required by the Corporation is described in
terms of the interval between departures. Whilst a completely regular service at the
specified frequency should be possible at most times, occasionally a bus may be
timetabled to depart up to five minutes earlier or later than the regular time.
Tenderers should note that when the specified frequency changes (e.g. between the
peak and midday periods), the scheduled interval between buses should never be
greater than that provided by the lower of the two frequencies AT ANY POINT ON
THE ROUTE.
Tenderers should note that unless otherwise stated
all journeys should operate
between the terminal points defined in each direction.

MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Please refer to Section 2.7 of Part A of the Guide for Tenderers.
Tenderers should note that the objective of the Operator of Route No. 17 shall be to
operate all scheduled mileage and adhere
fully to the published timetable. The
Operator must use its best endeavours to achieve this.
The
minimum standards of acceptable performance for Route No. 17 shall be:
Average Excess Wait Time:
No more than 1.10 minutes
Minimum Operated Mileage:
No less than 98.00%
or as notified by the Corporation from time to time. The Operator will be required to
achieve or better the standards.
QSI Thresholds
The QSI threshold is the standard of performance to be achieved by the operator in
order to qualify for an automatic contract extension (in accordance with Schedule IX of
the Framework Agreement).
Average Excess Wait Time Threshold = 0.95 minutes
Summary of proposed QSI coverage: Route No. 17
Note: While London Buses undertakes to carry out QSI surveys at the times and
locations specified below, it may prove impossible to rearrange a survey cancelled or
nullified at short notice.

Service Specification for Route No. 17 - 17/07/2009
8. RUNNING
TIMES
Extracts from the public timetable with sample running times for Route No. 17 are
attached at Appendix A. This gives an indication of the time required to travel the route.
Attention is drawn to the variations in running times at different times of the day. Please
refer to Section 2.8 of Part A of the Guide for Tenderers for further information.
Tenderers should carefully check the existing running times to ensure that they are
appropriate in present traffic conditions. Tenderers should particularly check the existing
running times for the Mondays to Fridays interpeak and early evening periods.
It is expected that any changes to these running times can be accommodated within
existing cycle times.
When reviewing existing, and devising new, running times Tenderers should refer to:
• the minimum performance standards for Route No. 17 in Section 7 above;
• the historical performance data provided in Section 1 Part B of the introduction to
this ITT;
• the paragraph in Section 12 referring to the proposed extension of the Cashless
Boarding zone throughout the whole of the London area.
Tenderers may consider if school summer holiday schedules, incorporating running
time reductions, are desirable for this route. In this event, schedules and costs must be
submitted separately.
9. LAYOVERS
Under normal circumstances, layover time on stands and at bus stations should be
restricted to that required to provide a reliable service. Longer layovers for any other
purpose may only be taken with the permission of the Corporation.
10. TIMING
CONSTRAINTS
Route No. 17 should interwork with other bus services where possible.
10
Service Specification for Route No. 17 - 17/07/2009
11. CONTROL
STRATEGY
Route No. 17 can suffer from the effects of traffic congestion, making some form of
route control essential in order to achieve or better the minimum performance
standards for this route.
Tenderers should submit proposals on the control strategy they intend to adopt and
the type of control they would intend to use by completing the form provided in
Section 3: Part 7 of this ITT. The cost of this control should be included within the
main Tender price.
Tenderers should also indicate how they intend to facilitate driver changeovers and
meal reliefs for this route.
Further information is provided in Section 2.11 of Part A of the Guide for Tenderers.
12. OPERATIONAL
CONSIDERATIONS
Tenderers should note the following operating considerations affecting Route No. 17:
• Route No. 17 can suffer from unpredictable traffic delays in the Holloway and King’s
Cross areas.
Tenderers should also note the following factors / events which may have an impact on
Route No. 17 in the foreseeable future:
• As part of the Thameslink upgrade works, a new viaduct is to be built at Railway
Approach, London Bridge. Works are scheduled to commence in spring 2009 with
completion of the project scheduled for 2012. The successful Tenderer will be
advised of any road network changes when more information becomes available;
• There are tentative proposals to redevelop London Bridge Bus Station. The
successful Tenderer will be updated when more information becomes available.
• It is anticipated that Cashless Boarding will be extended throughout London at
some stage during the lifetime of this contract
. This is expected to lead to
significant savings in running and recovery times to bus routes, and,
therefore, potential resource (cycle time and PVR) savings are expected.
Tenderers are required to identify and submit the level of savings per
vehicle that could be achieved by reducing peak vehicle requirement, and /
or how reliability targets could be revised when the Scheme is introduced.
The above factors have been included to assist Tenderers and represents the
information currently available to the Corporation. Tenderers should make their own
enquiries about events which may impact upon the route and should form their own
views about their likely effect upon it.
13. STOPPING
ARRANGEMENTS
Buses operating on Route No. 17 must serve all stops on the line of route designated
for the route.
11
Service Specification for Route No. 17 - 17/07/2009

Tenderers should note that:
• these measurements are believed to be accurate to within 0.5 miles, but no warranty
or representation as to accuracy is given;
• out of service stand worKing’s have not been measured and are not included within
the above measurements;
• if alternative or additional measurements are used by the Tenderer, these must be
stated in the tender submission;

terminals will be agreed with the successful Tenderer once the contract has been
awarded.
15. VEHICLE
LIVERY
All vehicles to be used on Route No. 17 from the commencement of the new Route
Agreement must be in a livery that is exclusively Corporation red. The paint should be
matched accurately to the colour as defined by the following manufacturer’s
specifications:
ICI London Bus Red P498 FPF 3
Other manufacturers should also be able to produce this specification from the ICI
colour chart.
This requirement does not include the lower panels which may be in a different
colour but which shall not exceed 50cm in height, or the rooftop which should be
painted white so as to reduce temperatures inside the vehicle during the summer
months.
The positioning and size of Operators’ logos are to be agreed between the Operator
and the Corporation and, where possible, these should be above the front doors on
the nearside of the vehicles and above the drivers’ offside cab windows.
All livery proposals must be submitted to the Contracts Tendering Manager for
approval.
