The purpose of this memo is to request the replacement of three (3) of The Jule's aging
paratransit fleet.
DISSCUSSION:
Transportation Services currently has an older paratransit fleet and is proposing to
purchase minibuses using the Iowa Department of Transportation's pre -negotiated state
contract. Upon review of the vehicles on this list, I recommend purchasing replacement
minibuses from Hoglund Bus Co., Inc. Hoglund is located in Marshalltown, Iowa.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Transit Services (or The Jule) has a balance of $909,798.00 under capital improvement
project activity code 5385000002. These funds are set aside funds with no grant funding
attached to this purchase. Hoglund has quoted $223,965.00 per bus for a total of
$671,895.00.
REQUESTED ACTION:
I respectfully request City Council approval to proceed with purchasing three (3)
paratransit minibuses to continue with the revitalization of The Jule's fleet.
