5 MEMORANDUM Cindy Farah Purchasing Coordinator Business Office TO: Christine Thomas-Hill, Executive Director of Finance and Operations FROM: Cindy Farah, Purchasing Coordinator Tim Murray, Transportation Manager DATE: March 2, 2016 RE: FY16 BUS BID RECOMMENDATION Upon review of the bids received from Hoekstra and Holland Bus, it is our recommendation that we proceed with the purchase of ten buses from Hoekstra. Holland Bus does not currently offer the specified heated windshield, stainless steel heating elements or extended engine warranty. Along with Hoekstra providing the most competitive price per bus and meeting all required Transportation specifications, they are also able to supply TCAPS with an extended engine warranty for the quoted buses. In addition, the 77-passenger buses purchased in FY15 were supplied by Hoekstra, which provides an historical advantage for our mechanics and allows for easier in-house repairs and maintenance going forward. Transportation would like to purchase the following buses to maintain a safe and efficient fleet: 10 Conventional 77-Passenger Buses at $96, each for a total purchase of $968, The purchase of the buses is funded out of the bond fund. 412 Webster Street, Traverse City, Michigan t: f: e: farahcy@tcaps.net Great Community, Great Schools TV190
