ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
As RTA continues to grow and expand, the agency needs to grow with it. With the agency’s facilities and the many bus stops and hubs throughout the city, it is necessary to procure five utility trucks to service any mechanical needs. Four (4) trucks will be for replacement of vehicles that have exceeded their useful life, and one will be for expansion. The agency will purchase these 5 trucks as chassis cabs and will put out a solicitation for the up-fitting of the trucks.
end
DISCUSSION:
RTA will use the Louisiana state contract (4400023793) to purchase five cab and chassis trucks. The infrastructure department and the grounds team's current vehicles have exceeded their useful life. These much-needed vehicles will assist in the agency's ability to complete repairs at the different facilities and bus stops.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding is available through grant funding LA2022-022.1113.114211; the estimated project cost is $270,943 and funding of $377,357 is available.
NEXT STEPS:
When approved to proceed, the team will continue to develop this proposal following the notice of funding for the contract award.
