Summary:
The District was awarded a grant from Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District (NSAQMD) for $75,000.00 to purchase one (1) low NOx school bus. This project is funded by the AB 2766 DMV Fund Program. The district is planning to purchase one (1) 2023 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner HDX 84 passenger bus totaling $199,999.13. The pricing for this bus is based on a formal bid process performed by the Hemet Unified School District and their awarded contract to BusWest on June 15, 2021. The awarded contract included a clause allowing other districts to receive the same pricing (i.e., a piggyback clause per PCC 20118) for the 2021/2022 fiscal year. This resolution establishes the intent of the District to purchase one bus under the pricing structure identified in the Hemet Unified School District Contract. This agreement is for the purchase of one (1) 2023 Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner HDX 84 passenger bus. This resolution authorizes the District to:
1) Participate in the Hemet Unified School District pricing contract per Public Contract Code 20118
2) Purchase one (1) bus through BusWest
