Title
Approval to Release Request for Quotes for the Purchase of Paratransit Buses
Overview
The Orange County Transportation Authority operates a fleet of 248 22-foot cutaway buses to provide OC ACCESS paratransit service. These vehicles have a useful life of seven years or 200,000 miles, and 116 of them are nearing the end of that useful life. A request for quotes has been developed to purchase buses through the California Association for Coordinated Transportation/Morongo Basin Transit Authority Purchasing Cooperative. Staff is seeking Board of Directors’ approval to release the request for quotes.
Recommendation(s)
Approve the release of Request for Quotes 9-1570 to purchase up to 116 22-foot gasoline-powered cutaway buses for OC ACCESS paratransit service, with an option for ten additional 22-foot cutaway buses from qualified vendors under the California Association for Coordinated Transportation/Morongo Basin Transit Authority Purchasing Cooperative.
