Jenison plans to scrap 2004 bus; expects about $2,500 return
Summary
District will scrap a 2004 Blue Bird bus with over 200,000 miles rather than auction it; finance staff expect roughly $2,500 from Kalamazoo Metal Recyclers, higher than prior auction proceeds of about $800.
Christine Marcy, Assistant Superintendent and Director of Finance, told the board the district is retiring a 2004 Blue Bird bus with more than 200,000 miles and significant repair needs and recommended scrapping it through Kalamazoo Metal Recyclers rather than sending it to auction.
Marcy said the bus had been retained an extra year but now requires extensive repairs; based on prior experience (a previous bus sale yielded about $800 at auction), the district expects roughly $2,500 from scrapping the vehicle. No vote was required for the update; the presentation was informational and intended to keep the board apprised of fleet-management decisions.
