MOTION CARRIED
From: Dan Kooken, Purchasing Manager
Re: 2017 Low Floor Cutaway Van Procurement for Nashua Transit (Value $758,790)
MOTION BY ALDERMAN SIEGEL TO ACCEPT, PLACE ON FILE AND AWARD THE CONTRACT
TO DATTCO IN THE AMOUNT OF $758,790. SOURCE OF FUNDING IS DEPARTMENT 186,
TRANSPORTATION; TRANSIT GRANTS
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Siegel
| just want to make it clear for the listening public that the city is not on the hook for that $758,790. We're only
on the hook for about $56,000 of that. The rest of it is federal transportation administration money.
Alderman O’Brien
The purchase price of the buses, | see we have one price for six and then the option to get three more. Is that
because we have so many vans so we get a good number for the ones we’re purchasing and the option would
be reflected in the next three?
Mr. Kooken
Yes.
Alderman Cookson
Some of the funding is also coming from the state. Are there any hesitations about those funds? Will they be
coming? Is there any reason why they wouldn’t come to benefit the purchase of these vehicles.
Director Marchant
The funding from the state has been secured. We do fully expect that to come.
Alderman Cookson
Thank you.
