Board approves purchase of 2021 Bluebird bus after review of five bids
Summary
The board approved a mid‑range used 2021 Bluebird bus from Boorman after receiving five bids with mileage from 25,000 to 80,000 and prices ranging from $49,000 to $112,000; the chosen bus was described as a 65‑passenger vehicle at lower cost than a new bus.
The board approved a recommendation to purchase a 2021 Bluebird bus from vendor Boorman after reviewing five bids. Superintendent Scott summarized that the bids showed mileage between about 25,000 and 80,000 miles and prices ranging "anywhere from 49,000 to 112,000," and recommended the 2021 Bluebird as a middle‑of‑the‑road option; the chosen vehicle is a 65‑passenger model and was favored because the vendor allowed the district to inspect the bus on site prior to purchase.
A board member said the district currently operates larger capacity buses and noted the 65‑passenger bus is somewhat smaller than a 71‑passenger model used for mountain routes, but the board approved the motion by voice vote. No financing details were provided in the meeting record.
