ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
The agency has a need to replace and expand our fleet of 1500 trucks. These trucks are used to transport goods and maintain equipment throughout the agency. Many of our existing trucks have reached the end of their useful life. Previously the board had approved the purchase of 7 trucks via Board resolution 22-0009. Along with this procurement, our fleet of half-ton trucks will all be updated.
end
DISCUSSION:
The RTA was awarded Grant Funding to purchase non-Revenue support vehicles via grant LA2022-022. While we were able to purchase seven (7) trucks using Grant La2021-024, the addition of this new grant has allowed us to replace the remaining end-of-life trucks. The agency will use Louisiana State Contract number 4400023795 for this procurement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this procurement is made available through grant LA2022-022.1113.114211. The estimated total cost for ten (10) vehicles is $385,769.00.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon RTA Board Approval, Staff will work with procurement to complete the purchase.
