11.A. Consider Request of Transportation Dept. for Early Purchase of one (1), 71 Passenger Bus through ESSER Budget.
Recommended Motion(s):
Motion to Approve Request of Transportation Dept. for Early Purchase of one (1), 71 Passenger Bus through ESSER Budget. This motion, made by {Insert Board Member} and seconded by {Insert Board Member}, {Insert Action Result}.
Rationale:
We have currently budgeted, within ESSER funding, the purchase of 6 buses.
One 2004 bus, with 97,500 miles, and formerly in service, recently blew a head gasket, rendering it undrivable. The cost of repairing, age of the bus, and accumulated miles justifies salvage of this bus as opposed to investing in temporary repair. We request permission to purchase one, 71 passenger bus, at a cost of approximately $105,000 to replace the bus taken out of service. The additional 5 bus purchases will be brought forward for consideration at a later date. |
