On July 15, 2022, Texas Bus Sales sent a written notification, identified in Attachment A, <br />to the city stating the following: "There have been very significant chassis delays with the chassis <br />manufacturer and production which causes a delay of an additional 270 days and a price increase from <br />$155,631 to $168,758.40. At such time, Purchasing notified the vendor to keep the subject PO active <br />until the city received commission approval to increase the P0, which the vendor agreed to. The <br />amendment to increase the PO was not taken on the September 2022 agenda because we were <br />uncertain of a projected delivery date and final price, given the market volatility. <br />On January 27th, 2023, Texas Bus Sales sent a notification stating the shuttle bus will be delivered <br />towards the end of March/early April. At that time, the PO was increased to avoid any further delays. <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />Funds have been appropriated in account no. 110-5-5440-464200-00000. <br />Item Number: 10.M <br />
