Board awards purchase of four Bluebird buses for $551,900 from 2019 Bond funds
Summary
The Board approved buying four Bluebird buses from Holland Bus Company for $551,900 using 2019 capital project (bond) funds following transportation committee recommendation, citing fleet age and repair costs as rationale.
After a transportation assessment identified four buses as due for replacement because of age, mileage, and repair costs, the Board voted to award the purchase of four Bluebird passenger buses to Holland Bus Company under the Michigan Bus Purchasing Program at $137,975 per bus, totaling $551,900. Funding for the purchase will come from the 2019 Capital Project (Bond) Funds as recommended by the Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations and the transportation sub-committee.
The motion to award the purchase and authorize the Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations to expend the funds carried unanimously. The Board’s approval directs staff to finalize vendor contract and schedule delivery, and staff will continue to monitor the bus replacement schedule to align with transportation needs.
