ENCLOSURES
$ECONiN NI t2lEw
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution authorizing the purchase of one (1)
Wheelchair Accessible Bus at a cost of $61,498.00 from Carpenter
Manufacturing, Inc. under a currently effective State of Florida,
Department of Education Bid No. 93-11 for use by the Parks and
Recreation Department, Programs for Persons with Disabilities.
Funds for this .requirement are available in the Special Revenue
Fund entitled "Handicapped Division Fund -Raising Program",
Project #110032, which consists of monies raised by this
division, primarily through its annual Golf Classic.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Parks and Recreation has worked with the Fleet
Management Division of the General Services Administration to
meet the transportation needs of .its programs. It was jointly
determined that the City's Programs for Persons with Disabilities
requires a wheelchair -accessible school -type bus to transport its
disabled clients to and from the City's programs.
Research by the Administration has identified a competitively bid
contract (#93-11) for school buses which was let through the
State Department of Education and awarded, in part, to Carpenter
Manufacturing, Inc., a non -minority firm located in Mitchell,
Indiana. As a statewide contract, it provides the most cost-
effective pricing available to local governments for bus
purchases. The vehicle selected for purchase complies with the
American with Disabilities Act, and is an air-conditioned bus
equipped with a lift and accommodates 32 adult (or 42 children)
including 4 wheelchairs.
Funds in the amount of $61,498 are available for this purchase
from the Special Revenue Fund entitled "Handicapped Division
Fund -Raising Program", Project #110032. This account was created
in 1986 and consists of monies raised by the division through
monthly special events, private donations, and the highly
successful annual Golf Classic.
This item is a companion to an ordinance which would increase
appropriations to the Special Revenue Fund.
