A.
Pataula - Bus Purchase
Cheryl is requesting approval to change our February vote from a five year bus lease to a one-time purchase amount for two new buses. With the possible deletion of our facility grant funds from the state, it will become difficult to budget for a bus lease payment over the next five years. We will use our existing fund balance to purchase the two buses at a price of $279,900.
B.
SCCA - Driveway Repair
Two bids for Driveway repair, using crushed concrete, at Spring Creek were received. Cheryl and Will Bruner, Maintenance Coordinatior, are recommending the Committee approve the Bid of $31,250 from Circle B Contracting, Inc. This was the lowest of the two bids received. This item was tabled from the last meeting.

The purchase price is $21,342 and the vehicle will be inspected by Transportation Director, Jeremy Pritchett, to ensure it fits our need before the purchase.
