City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />18070 Collins Avenue <br />- Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33160 <br />(305) 947-0606 City Hall <br />(305) 949-3113 Fax <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Commission <br />VIA: <br />Christopher J. Russo, City Manager <br />FROM: <br />Sylvia Flores, Director of Cultural & Community <br />Services Department <br />DATE: <br />11 /19/2020 <br />RE: <br />Purchase of Shuttle Bus from ElDorado National <br />(Kansas) Inc. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />This Resolution is presented for your consideration <br />REASONS: <br />The City offers free shuttle service to the community 7 days a week, <br />through three different lines. In addition, we offer transportation to <br />Mount Sinai several days a week (outside of the regular shuttle <br />service) and transportation for various events and activities (such as <br />Cultural Event trips, movie nights, concerts, etc.). <br />In order to meet the needs of the shuttle routes, as well as these <br />additional services, and minimize any breaks in service due to bus <br />maintenance, it is recommended that we maintain a fleet of five (5) <br />reliable shuttle buses. <br />Shuttle Bus #1225 (currently in our fleet) was purchased in 2012, and <br />is reaching the end of its useful life span (typically 7 years). This new <br />bus would allow for us to take Bus #1225 out of circulation. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />The quote includes a driver protection system, for safety concerns. <br />With the purchase of this new bus, our fleet would consist of six (6) <br />total buses, only one (1) of which would be greater than 4 years old. <br />The total cost of the shuttle bus is $160,631.00, which includes a <br />contingency in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00 for any unforeseen <br />expenses related to the bus and equipment. <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />Funds were budgeted in fiscal year 19/20 and were not expended as a <br />result of delays due to COVID. This will require a budget amendment <br />to move the unused funds into this fiscal year. <br />Description <br />Resolution <br />Quote <br />HGAC Worksheet <br />Item Number: 10.C. <br />
