Title

Award of Agreement for the Purchase of Heavy-Duty Buses for iShuttle Service

Overview

On April 8, 2019, the Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors approved the release of a request for quotes for the purchase of 12, 30 to 32-foot compressed natural gas-powered heavy-duty buses to support iShuttle service in the City of Irvine. As a result, quotes from qualified vendors under the California Association for Coordinated Transportation/Morongo Basin Transit Authority Purchasing Cooperative have been evaluated, and approval is requested to award an agreement for the purchase of these buses.
