A. Rescind the Board's prior action taken on June 2, 2016, CAR II-28B, awarding a Purchase Order in the amount of $438,044, to Getaway Bus, Inc., due to a scrivener's error; and

B. Award a Purchase Order in the amount of $438,044, to NBS Acquisition Company, LLC, d/b/a Getaway Bus, LLC.

[Funding: Fund 320, FTA Capital Project Fund, Cost Centers 211234, 211231, and 211233, Object Code 56401]

BACKGROUND:

Meeting in regular session on June 2, 2016, the Board approved the award of a Purchase Order to Getaway Bus, Inc., for the purchase of four Glaval Cutaway Transit Vehicles.

Due to a scrivener's error, the company, NBS Acquisition Company, LLC, d/b/a Getaway Bus, LLC, was referred to as Getaway Bus, Inc., in the previous recommendation and on the original Purchase Order.

Because of this change, staff requires Board approval of the issuance of a replacement Purchase Order.

The purchase of these vehicles is being funded by Federal Funds and must comply with 49 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations), the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government. The rules apply to all Federal projects and prohibit the restricting of purchase to local entities, however the specifications were posted on the Escambia County Website for 30 days to allow local businesses to offer a competitive bid. No bids were received.
