• Name: Subject: Communication from the Transit and Parking System Manager requesting approval to pursue Federal funding for potential bus replacements. (Res. 11-2683)
• Type: Communication
• Status: Passed
• File created: 7/14/2011
• In control: Transit and Parking Commission
• Final action: 8/1/2011
• Title: Subject: Communication from the Transit and Parking System Manager requesting approval to pursue Federal funding for potential bus replacements. (Res. 11-2683) Recommendation of the Transit and Parking Commission on 07-27-11: Approve the request to seek 80% or greater funding for as many as fourteen vehicles to replace 1997 vintage fleet with staff directed to work closely with the Finance Department. Fiscal Note: No financial commitment beyond what is currently in the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is required at grant application. Obtaining new vehicles to replace 15 year-old vehicles will significantly reduce annual operating costs that are partially funded by City tax levy. Eight additional replacement vehicles are funded in the current CIP. Grant requests will attempt to replace as many as fourteen vehicles while procurement opportunities are optimal.
