Date: 5-28-97 Item No. 97-235
Item/Subject RBSOLVg: Appropriation of Porde for the Purchase
of a New Transit Bus for the City of Bremer
Responsible Department Administration
Commentary:
The City of Brewer will shortly be replacing their only bus with a new 17 passenger bus.
The current Thomas bus is a 1989 model with approximately 335,000 miles of service.
Smaller buses have a normal life of five years, and this bus is in need of replacement
given that it is the sole service provider for Brewer. It is anticipated that the bus should
arrive in the fait of 1997, and this Resolve will appropriate money for its purchase. As
the administrative agency£or the regional system, Bangor will handle the transaction. All
funding will come from the Department of Transportation and the City of Brewer; no
Bangor funding is involved.
