Transit staff say discretionary vehicle grant awarded; delivery expected by December
Summary
Finance staff reported the district won a discretionary bus-and-bus-facilities grant and will purchase a vehicle via the Oklahoma State Buy Board to be delivered by December; transcript contains inconsistent numeric formats that staff said they will reconcile.
At the Nov. 13 meeting the board’s finance/staff member (Speaker 5) said the district has been awarded discretionary funding for buses and bus facilities and that staff plan to procure a vehicle off the Oklahoma State Buy Board.
"We were awarded a $117,751, and we are purchasing... a vehicle off the Oklahoma State Buy Board... it will be delivered by December," Finance/staff (Speaker 5) said. The presenter added that the award is discretionary rather than formula-based and that the district has sufficient local match so no county funds are being requested.
Staff also noted numeric phrasing in the transcript: the program name and amounts were spoken inconsistently (a separate phrase in the record referenced '$53.39' in the context of the grant program); these numeric inconsistencies are recorded in clarifying details and require staff confirmation for public reporting.
The board did not take formal action on the procurement in the meeting; staff said delivery is expected by year end and procurement will follow grant conditions and standard purchasing procedures.
