This being a scheduled Public Hearing the following items were presented
to the Board of County commissioners for their consideration:
Letter of Intent
Bob Loeffler, Ass't. County Attorney, presented a Letter of Intent to
purchase buses for the Regional Transportation System. He explained the
Letter to the Board. He discussed the possibility of piggy backing onto an
order being placed by Beaver Creek Transit. Six buses are those suggested
for purchase at this time. This order was not placed in a bidding process
but a public bid process was done previously by Gillig. A 1994 order did So
through the public bid process with the Town of Avon at that time. The prlce
of the buses is $208,544.00 each. Bill Simmons is present to discuss the
buses.
Bill Simmons, Beaver Creek Resort Corrpany, stated these are 40 passenger
buses so they are pretty good size. The buses ordered in 1994 were 37
passenger buses.
Mr. Loeffler stated the specifications on the buses were included. He
discussed the terms of purchase with Gillig being 10% at time of order. The
buses will be delivered to Colorado. He explained the monies would not be
available until April and Gillig stated that was okay.
Mr. Loeffler indicated Allen Sartin, Finance Director, stated by the end
of March it is estimated $350,000 in tax revenue would be allocated. When it
is time to pay for the buses there would be over a million and a half. The
buses are to be delivered in October with a payment.
commissioner Phillips questioned the increase in the order.
Bill Simmons explained the factory line set up.
Discussion followed on sales tax.
Commissioner Gates moved to aI?prove the Letter of Intent to purchase
blfses for the Regional Transportatlon System and authorize the Chairman to
Slgn.
Commissioner Phillips seconded the motion.
Mr. Loeffler reiterated there would be 2.1 million by the end of October
with some of those monies needing to be allocated to trails. Part of this
decision is making the commitment.
commissioner Gates asked if there are other budgeted expenses.
Mr. Simmons stated the new budget will be established by the Authority
taking into consideration the purchase of the buses. Leasing may be an
option if we are unable to meet the additional needs. Because of the waiting
time for orders additional buses will not be available until 1998 and a 10%
down payment will be all required in 1997.
Mr. Loeffler asked if there is an estimate on operating expenses.
Chairman JOMson stated there will be no expenses through September as
the funding partners have committed that far. There is one funding partner
who may not be committed for the five years.
Mr. Loeffler again reiterated this is a County obligation and reminded
the Board it is Eagle County paying the bill.
Chairman JOMson called for the question on the motion. The vote was
declared unanimous.
