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 AB 2766 DMV Fund Program is funded from vehicle license fees and provides grant funding to implement activities or purchase equipment that reduces air pollution from vehicles. NSAQMD agreed to let us switch the conventional bus listed on the agreement to a transit bus. 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.
Funding: Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District Grant - $75,000.00
