Re: Finance Committee — Purchasing | additional Replacement Low Floor Cutaway Van from an
Existing Contract
In 2017, The Nashua Transit System (NTS) went out to bid under RFPO152-031417 Low Floor
Cutaway Vans to replace six of its para-transit vans. The contract was awarded to DATTCO with
the option to purchase up to three additional vans. This contract was approved by the Finance
Committee on May 17, 2017.
In the fall of 2017, NTS received an FTA 5310 grant of $110,000 to purchase an additional van.
Staff is still confirming the final price, pending cost estimates for a new destination sign and
potential increases due to a different vehicle model year. The 7" van will not exceed $140,000.
The remaining amount of up to $30,000, will be equally split between the NH DOT and the City of
Nashua CERF at $15,000 each. The City’s portion is part of the approved CERF funding plan.
Nashua Transit System recommends proceeding with the purchase of 1 additional van from the
original contract with DATTCO to replace one of the City’s Low Floor Cutaway Vans.
