REASONS: The City provides free community shuttle service to residents and visitors six days per week with 2 buses operating simultaneously. At present,the city owns 3 shuttle buses, one of which is antiquated and parts are hard to find requiring special made parts. As a result,it is out of service more often than not. Staff recommends the purchase of a new shuttle bus,designed to our specifications. This will ensure reliable service to our residents and a more enjoyable experience for Cultural Event participants. The proposed bus will seat 22 passengers plus 2 wheelchairs. It is equipped with a wheelchair lift to meet ADA regulations. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The city's allotment of the recently passed Miami-Dade County Transportation Surtax will fund the purchase of the bus. The city has received the first allotment of these funds in the amount of$151, 248.00 for the months of January through May.
