There was an error in the Finance Committee memo. The number should be $137,945.

Ms. Gill

It was a previous memo. We are doing the patchwork on Beauview, the previous motion.

Mayor Donchess
Didn’t you say $137,000?

Alderman Siegel

On this sheet in front of me, it is correct.
Mr. Husband

It’s in the Finance Committee memo.
Ms. Gill

The last sentence of the memo.

| thought Everett was a small connector between Central and the Garden that the Great American Downtown
does. Is that where Everett is?

Mayor Donchess

Yes. It dead-ends and then there’s a walking section. You can walk up the hill or down the hill to and from the
rail trail. The actual street ends 50 yards before the rail trail, something like that.

started getting exposed more. Before we put the new top coat, we have to patch these exposed areas. We
underestimated previously. That is why we are requesting an additional 4,000 square yards of patch work.
The second request as part of this change order is Beauview. There was a section which starts from Charlotte
Avenue to a dead end which we would like to mill and overlay.

Mayor Donchess
So that’s being added to the list.

Ms. Gill

Yes.

| was curious why we didn’t use the same vendor.

Mr. Kooken

We were specifically looking for a blue truck in this case because for whatever reason the city buildings have
always had the blue vehicle so that limited the option a little bit. There’s a lot more white trucks out there than
blue ones. This dealer had it in blue with almost exactly the equipment we were requiring.

No. Eight of the nine fixed route buses are being replaced. We have one CNG bus that was purchased in
2012, 2011. These are the replacement for the other nine fixed route buses. We have an extremely old fleet
at this point. We are beyond any of its useful life. We also have on order, it takes a very long time to construct
these buses, the beginning of the paratransit replacements. | will be back before you in not too long with
something like this for those as well. Those will be gasoline.
