Summary
Staff said hybrid bus 17‑01 experienced diagnostic issues beginning Oct. 2023 and additional damage later required parts costing an estimated $22,372.70; Interstate Power Systems submitted the quote and CARES funds will cover the repairs with no cost to the city's general fund; council approved the change order.
City staff recommended a change order with Interstate Power Systems to complete additional repairs on hybrid fixed‑route bus 17‑01 after diagnostic work identified additional damage not detected earlier. The parts are estimated at $22,372.70 and staff said no additional labor cost is expected.
Hansen told the council the repairs will be fully funded through authorized CARES funding, resulting in no cost to the general fund, and noted state requirements limit where buses can be repaired; the council approved the change order by roll call (six yes votes).
