Title, Order
Authorizing the Purchase of ADA Paratransit Minivans from Advance Modifications in the Amount of $147,637
This Order would authorize the purchase of three ADA paratransit minivans from Advance
Modifications in the amount of $147,637. As a fixed route public transportation provider, the
Community Connector is required to provide ADA Paratransit services, to qualifying individuals who
are unable or have limited ability to use the fixed route operation. Since providing this service
in-house, the City has been renting vehicles to provide this service as we had to determine the level
of ridership and the number and types of vehicles that were needed.
Four quotes were received from four vendors; Creative Bus Sales, Advance Modifications, Advanced
Wheels, and Autotronics. Prices for the accessible minivans ranged from $134,062 (Advance
Modifications) to $164,915 (Advance Wheels), the response from Autotronics do not meet
specifications as the vehicles were used. None of the quotes included the required camera system
or any potential cost for extended warranty which will be pursued with the selected vendor. The
cost for the extended warranty as well as the camera system is $13,575.
Based on our current ridership, the recommendation is to purchase two side-entry Dodge Grand
Caravans and one rear entry Chrysler Pacifica Touring, which is a hybrid, from Advance
Modifications.
