Background:
At the June 2016 Finance & Performance Committee meeting, PSTA reported it was successful in being awarded discretionary grant funding under the Section 5310 Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities Capital Assistance Program in the total amount of $343,064.
The basis of the grant application was to upgrade Gillig Low Floor, 35’ and 40’, heavy transit buses with replacement of the first row forward‐facing flip seats with barriers, replacement of the wheelchair/scooter securement systems, and replacement of the integrated side‐facing flip seats on both the curb side and street side of each bus.
Both the Committee and Board approved of a contract with Gillig, LLC., to supply 46 restraint kits in the amount not to exceed $242,000 which left $101,564 of grant funding remaining.
Originally, PSTA was to going to utilize outside contractors to install the equipment and use the remaining grant funding to cover the expenses.
However, PSTA has decided to use its own maintenance employees for the installations and utilize the remaining grant funding to purchase approximately 19 additional restraint kits bringing the total number of buses to be upgraded to 65.
The purchase of the additional restraint kits will be for model year buses 2006, 2007, 2008, & 2009.
