DISCUSSION:
Many of our non-revenue support vehicles have outlived their useful life cycle. Grant funds are available for the procurement of new support vehicles. The vehicles included (14) fourteen road supervisor support vehicles, (11) eleven pool cars, and (9) half ton pickup trucks. Adding a new injection of vehicles into our fleet will help the RTA effectively accomplish their goals.

The estimated costs of the project are $1,181,011.75 and grant funds of $1,241,029 are available through grant numbers LA2021-021.1113.114211A, LA2021-021.1113.114211B, LA2021-021.1113.114211.C

Upon RTA Board approval, staff will assign a purchase order.
