Frankfort to buy four transit buses with $607,351 federal grant reimbursement
Summary
Frankfort Transit was authorized to buy four replacement cutaway buses (total $607,351) using a 5339 FTA/KYTC grant that reimburses 100% of the purchase; purchases split between Tesco and American Bus and Accessories.
The Board approved purchasing four replacement cutaway buses using a 5339 Federal Transit Administration/KYTC grant totaling $607,351 that will be 100% reimbursed. Proposed purchases include one 24+2 cutaway from Tesco ($203,497) and three cutaways from American Bus and Accessories ($403,854). Funds are available in Capital Improvement Account #530-00-51100 and payment will be due upon delivery; reimbursement by FTA/KYTC will follow.
Staff said the vehicles will replace aging fleet units (model years 2016–2019) and that KYTC will provide a lien release allowing continued use of replaced vehicles until surplus or parts decisions are made. The Board authorized the Mayor to sign related documents.
Next steps: Orders will be placed per KPTA Bid #12 and staff will manage delivery and reimbursement timing into FY2027.
