Board reviews bus lease quotes; Hoekstra cheaper but service differences noted
Summary
Estelle Graves presented three-year lease quotes for new buses: Hoekstra $26,970 each, Holland $35,515 each (12,000 miles/year). The board noted East Jackson services Holland buses but not Hoekstra, which may affect repair costs.
Estelle Graves presented lease quotes for three new buses: a three-year lease from Hoekstra priced at $26,970 each and from Holland at $35,515 each, with a 12,000-mile-per-year allowance. The minutes add that East Jackson services Holland buses but not Hoekstra, which could make Holland less expensive to maintain despite a higher lease cost.
The work session recorded the quotes and the district's service-coverage consideration but did not show a procurement decision or motion to proceed. The board will need to weigh lease cost versus long-term service and repair considerations before formal authorization.
