Russo, City Manager <br /> FROM: Sylvia Flores, Cultural & Community Services Director <br /> DATE: 3/15/2018 <br /> RE: Purchase of a Shuttle Bus from Eldorado National <br /> (Kansas) Inc. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended that the City Commission consider purchasing a <br /> new shuttle bus from Eldorado National (Kansas) Inc. for$137,567.00. <br /> This bus would replace Shuttle Bus #1030, which was purchased in <br /> 2010, and has been in use for 8 years now. <br /> REASONS: <br /> The City offers free shuttle service to the community 7 days a week, <br /> through three different lines. In addition, we offer transportation to <br /> Mount Sinai several days a week (outside of the regular shuttle service) <br /> and transportation for various events and activities (such as Cultural <br /> Event Trips, movie nights, concerts, etc.). <br /> In order to meet the needs of the shuttle routes, as well as these <br /> additional services, and minimize any breaks in service due to bus <br /> maintenance, it is recommended that we maintain a fleet of five (5) <br /> reliable shuttle buses. <br /> Shuttle Bus #1030 (currently in our fleet)was purchased in 2010, and is <br /> reaching the end of its useful life span (typically 7 years). This new bus <br /> would allow for us to take Bus #1030 out of circulation. <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> 41 <br />
