��_~ ° /"� � ��Uu �� These are to be replaced by four 15-passenger vans and one 25- passenger mini-bus at a capital cost of: $50,000 (4 vans + $12`500) 20,000 (one mini-bus) 37O`OOO 3,500 (5% contingency) $73,500 This is to be divided as follows: Federal grant request 80% of project) $58,800 State contribution lO% of project) 7,350 Local contribution (lO% of project) 7,350 _ _ --- - - $73,500 If the application is approved, we should be receiving these vehicles under state purchase in June or July of 1982. For current vehi- cles to be considered for replacement, they must have 100,000 miles on them when the request is submitted or at least 80,000 miles with 20,000'ar more miles to be put on thern in the next year. 8- In the spring of 1982, we should apply to replace [under UM?A l6(b)(2)l and obtain the following capital equipment: 7 ' JUCCA - 1876 van, #17 (Headstart) 2' OCCHS - 2 -1974 Ford vans (one as backup) , 1977 Dodge van with lift 3. OPCMH - 1978 Dodge van UI � 1979 Plymouth van (NCLC) 1974 Dodge van '(OI) `backup\ , 1979 Plymouth van (0I) 4' seven lifts 5. one %5-passenger bus - for special large group outings - shopping, field trips So as-to increase the ridesharfng capability of the fleet and to cut down on double routing, the percentage of the fleet made up of mini-buses should increase over the next three to four years from one out of nineteen vehicles to six out of nineteen. Thus, in this and in future rounds, we should have some vans replaced 5y mini-buses. OCCHS' three vehicles are now a part of the coordinated system, operating coordinated medical routes (Prospect Hill- Carrboro route) and rural Chapel Hill area and need replacement with one being a backup for the system. The seven vehicles requested in this round should be equipped with lifts, as should several in future applications, to allow for more accessibility by the handicapped and elderly and more flexibility in their use. More lift equipment was felt to be necessary at this time than radio equ1pment. Vehicles used to replace OPCMH 1974 Dodge van COI) would be used as backup for coordinated system and for out-of-county small group trips. A large 35-passenger bus is requested since neither JOCCA's nor the County 3ecr=A- tion Department's large buses are operable fonelderly out-of-county field trips and weekly large group shopping. . _-----__ _'--___'_ -___' ____- - ` "
