Date: October 26, 2015
Item/Subject: Resolve, Authorizing the City Manager to Accept and Appropriate
$321,841 in Federal Transportation Authority Funds, $36,000 in Department
of Transportation State Bond Funds and $20,796 in Bus Replacement Reserve
Funds to Fund Acquisition and Rehabilitation of Three Buses
Responsible Department: Community Connector
Commentary: This Resolve will accept and appropriate $321,841 in Federal Transportation
Authority Funds, $36,000 in Department of Transportation State Bond Funds and $20,796 in
Bus Replacement Reserve Funds for the purposes of rehabilitating three buses. In October the
City authorized a contract with Merwin Consulting and Maine Military Authority to acquire and
rehabilitate three buses for use in Bangor. After the initial approval and appropriation, it was
discovered that the State had less funds to contribute towards the rehabilitation of the buses.
As a result, it is necessary to appropriate $20,796 from the Bus Replacement Reserve to ensure
adequate funding to complete the rehabilitation.
This was reviewed and recommended for approval at the 10-19-15 Finance Committee meeting.
