Background:
The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing the purchase of one (1) Starcraft Allstar 22’ Bus for the Senior Center.

The purchase price of $105,433.15 for the bus is through H-GAC. The current bus will either be traded-in or returned for auction depending on which provides best value.
The bus will be delivered in either late FY 2021-22 or early FY 2022-23 depending on the availability of after-market parts.

The cost of the bus is $105,433.15 and funds were put aside for the replacement purchase in FY 2020-21 Keller Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund budget. Funds will be made available by budget amendment in FY 2021-22 or included in the FY 2022-23 budget depending on the revised delivery date.
