ICuczynslci <br /> Dir. o��Tinance and Administration <br /> Starlc Area R.egional Transit Authority <br /> l 600 Gateway Blvd. ,S� � <br /> Canton, OH 44707 <br /> Dear Ms. Kuczynslci, <br /> The Decatur (IL) Public Transii System requests that it be allowed to purchase five 29 foot, <br /> heavy duty transit buses as part of the Starlc Area Regional Transit Authority's cun•ent contract <br /> for buses with the Gillig Corporation of Hayv��ard, California. I understand that your agenc}�has <br /> contracted for more buses than it ilow needs and that your agency is willing to transfer some of <br /> the surplus (unused build slots) to other transit agencies. This request is being made in <br /> accordance with the Federal Transii Administration's �uidelines for"piggybacicing"thai is <br /> outlined by Administi•ator Gordon J. Linton in an October, 1998, letter concerning procurements <br /> by organizations that v��ere not contemplated in an original purchase contract. <br /> The Decatur (IL)Public Transit System has obtained and executed grants for the purchase of <br /> four buses, and fully e�:pects to have a grant executed for the fifth bus by the end of this year. <br /> Purchasing buses through your agency's contract with the Gillig Corporation would greatly <br /> reduce the wait time for delivery of the velucles and could possibly ]ower our cost per vehicle, <br /> due to the economies of scale and the large number of vehicles that you have contracted. <br /> Consideration of this request is most deeply•appreciated. Should you have any questions <br /> concerning this purchase, please contact me by telephone at (217) 424-2820 or by e-mai] at <br /> PMcChancv�u,decaturil. ov. <br /> Your si�mature below will indicate concurreilce and the Starl< Area Regional Transit Authority's <br /> willin��ess to t1•ansfer five unused build slots to the Decatur� (IL) Public Transit System. If you <br /> approve, please si�l below and return one original to me. <br /> Sincei•ely, Concurrence: <br /> G- J� � , /'� . ,) ������ ` <br /> '��� ( «� <br /> Pa 1 McChancy �arole A.
