City Of San LUIS OBI SPO
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM MB
FROM: Ken Hampian, Assistant City Administrative Officer
Prepared by: Harry Watson, Transit Manager
SUBJECT: Language Change to Resolution 6862 (9/4/90) Urban Mass
Transportation (UMTA) Section 18 Apportionment Grant
CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution replacing Resolution No. 6862
applying for a Section 18 Apportionment Grant to partially fund the
costs of acquiring trolley vehicles.
DISCUSSION:
The City applied for an UMTA Apportionment grant in the amount of
$33,606.00 in September 1990 to assist in the funding of a
permanent trolley program. The City's application has been
tentatively approved with one change required in the resolution
authorizing the grant request.
At the time of the original request, the City designated the funds
to apply toward the acquisition of a "backup" trolley vehicle.
UMTA rendered a decision that they would not fund a back-up
trolley, but would approve the grant to be used toward a new
trolley. By removing the resolution's reference to a "back-up"
trolley, the grant is expected to be approved. The requested
replacement resolution will accomplish that requirement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the resolution will assure that $33,606 in Federal i
funds are available to assist in the purchase of a new trolley
vehicle. Specifications for this acquisition are currently being
developed and will require Council approval prior to initiating the
bid procedure. In the meantime, pursuant to previous Council
direction, staff has acquired the "backup" vehicle, which will
serve as the primary trolley until .the new trolley is purchased.
This "back-up" trolley was purchased for $43,000, which is
significantly below the Council authorized ceiling of $75,000. It
is expected to begin providing service during the month of March.
The current preliminary estimate for a new trolley vehicle is
approximately $156,850 plus tax and license, which will be
partially offset by the $33,606 grant.
