Project Description

Amendment #1
The funds in ALI 11.12.02 will be used by PSTA to purchase approximately 2 - 35` Gillig hybrid buses to replace a selection of 2003 vehicles that are currently out of useful life.

The replacement vehicle list is attached to the grant. The vehicle that will be replaced will be determined based on their condition when the new vehicles arrive at PSTA.

The buses are 35` heavy duty vehicles with a useful life of 12 years or 500,000 miles.

The vehicles will be a low floor design for easy accessibility, interior/exterior cameras, real time Bus information (RTBI) for Security, LED lighting, fareboxes, vapor photo sensor, and bike racks to facilitate intermodal travel opportunities.

Each bus is estimated to be $740,000 for an estimated total cost of $1,480,000. Additional funds in this ALI will be used to cover expenses related to the purchase of replacement buses, which will include but not limited to: buses, inspections, travel, training and any additional equipment that is needed. If the vehicle price is lower PSTA may be able to purchase an additional vehicle with the grant funding available. If any funds are remaining they will be applied to future bus purchases.
=======================
PSTA is a member of a bus buy consortium and we will purchase using the Lynx (Orlando) contract through the consortium. Because of the purchase through the Lynx contract the RFP and award dates will not match the dates for the STIP or the start date of the grant.
