Item No. 15-353
Date: October 26, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Bid Award in an Amount Not to Exceed $355,050
to Maine Military Authority to Acquire and Rehabilitate Three
Community Connector Buses
Responsible Department: Community Connector
Commentary: This order would authorize the staff to execute a contract with Maine Military
Authority to acquire and rehabilitate three buses utilizing state and federal funds and up to $21,000
in local funds. On September 16, 2015, the City received one (1) bid from Maine Military Authority
to acquire and rehabilitate 3 buses at an amount not to exceed $118,350 per bus. At that time it
was anticipated the purchase would be funded in whole using State and Federal funds. Since then,
there has been a reduction in available State funding, so the purchase would require approximately
$21,000 of local funds or 5.5 % of the total cost. The remainder of the project will be funded with
$321,843.15 in federal grant money and $36,000 in State Bond money. The estimated start date of
this project is late October and completion would be no later than 12 months.
This item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on October
19, 2015.
If recommended for passage, this item comes forward for Council action, as the contract award
is over $100,000.
