Change Order: Battery Electric Buses and Associated Charging Equipment 2nd Bus Order - 4 Electric Buses (Gillig, LLC)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the second order of buses on contract 20-03267 and authorize the Executive Director to execute the purchase and associated disbursements with Gillig LLC in the amount of $4,438,288 for the purchase of 4 additional electric buses to support the current service requirements for OGX.
BACKGROUND:
The OGX project opened for full service earlier in 2023, but up until that point, the 11 buses designated for the service were only providing a shuttle service for Weber state. Now that the service is up and running with the short headways during peak service, the bus quantity requires additional rolling stock.
DISCUSSION:
Per the direction of the OGX project manager, it was determined that 4 additional electric buses were needed. This will allow for robust service reliability. The buses will be purchased utilizing options on UTA’s current contract with Gillig, LLC and will be paid for using project and grant funds.
