Board approves $79,868 purchase of a 71-passenger bus to support new route
Summary
Trustees approved purchase of a 71-passenger bus for $79,868 after staff said route changes and a new driver made an additional big bus more useful than purchasing smaller vans.
District staff told the board that hiring a new bus driver added a route that freed up a large bus and that, given vehicle needs, it is more economical to purchase a second large bus rather than additional vans. The board moved to approve the purchase of a 71-passenger bus for $79,868; the motion passed on roll call.
“Need a motion to approve the purchase of a … 71 passenger bus for $79,868 as submitted,” the chair said before trustees voted. Staff said vans are adequate for now and that funds for a second bus were previously allocated at the transportation committee meeting.
