POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support the adoption of a grant agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to receive an $88,000 grant to purchase two new buses for the Omnibus program?
BACKGROUND:
The city applied for a grant from the Federal Transit Administration through the Colorado Department of Transportation, Division of Transit and Rail, to purchase two new Omnibuses. The city was awarded one of the 2015 5310 Large Urban Awards.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Approval of the grant agreement would replace two buses in the fleet, a 2006 and a 2008 14-passenger bus.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
$88,000 was awarded, with a $22,000 required match from the city, for a total of no more than $110,000. This grant will be part of the year-end clean-up ordinance, amending the 2016 budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the grant agreement.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve the resolution approving a grant agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation, Division of Transit and Rail, for the purchase of two buses for the Omnibus program.
