Item No. 10 139
Date: 4/12/2010
Item/Subject: Resolve, Appropriating $120,000 in Maine Department of Transportation Grant
Funds to Rehabilitate Four Buses.
Responsible Department: BAT
Commentary:
The Fleet Maintenance Division has determined that four buses are in need of rehabilitation in
order for them to pass upcoming state inspections. We have received notification from Maine
Department of Transportation that funding in the amount of $120,000 is available to rehab these
vehicles. The total cost of rehabilitation is estimated to be $150,000., with $120,000 in grant
funding and a required 20% local match in the amount of $30,000. This local match will be split
amongst the various communities as follows; Bangor ($21,000), VOOT ($4,500), Hampden
($1,500) and Brewer ($3,000).
The attached resolve will appropriate $120,000 in State MDOT Grant Funds to rehabilitate four
buses. The appropriation of the local share will be by separate action. Bangor's local share of
the funding will be transferred from the Bus Replacement Reserve. VOOT's and Hampden's
share of the funding will be transferred from the Trust & Agency Reserve accounts. All accounts
have adequate funding available.
