Krug, Public Works Directo Richard Firstner District 3 Improving a great community RE: Contract Award Recommendation. Joel F.Keller District 4 City Manager Public Works recommends award of the Shuttle Bus, RFP No. 017-003, to Robert D.Frank Florida Transportation Systems, Inc. (FTS), of Tampa, Florida, in the amount of $101 ,554.00. The City received a single responsive proposal with the price below the Fleet Division's estimate as incorporated in the City's Budgeted Capital Outlay. The vendor has been in business for over 34 years in Central Florida and provides a warrantee and parts source for this region. The bus market is currently changing as the truck chassis suppliers have recently upgraded their designs requiring bus body manufacturers to redesign their products to match up with the new chassis. Several bus manufacturers do not have a product to supply at this time during the retooling process, however, FTS proactively procured several chassis before the truck manufacturers shut down production for retooling. This has allowed FTS to provide busses while the retooling takes place and was able to submit on the City RFP.

We come to work every day with one common goal, to design, build, sell and service the world's finest school bus. That's what we do— no distractions, no competing priorities. We are heirs to a rich legacy, one of listening to our customers, embracing their needs, and delivering innovations that lead the market. We commit ourselves to four driving priorities— safety, quality, durability, and serviceability. We embody the interests of every child that rides us, every driver that drives us, every service technician that services us and every district that buys us. More than a business, this work is our heritage, and we have been at it since 1927— that's purpose driven. Because Blue Bird is purpose-driven to listen and respond, our school buses are purpose-built to set the highest standards across all key performance metrics of this demanding market. We singularly focus on engineering and manufacturing school buses. Our chassis are purpose-built exclusively for school bus applications, so we don't have to compromise to accommodate trucks or recreational vehicles. Our Vision is a vivid example. Its proven bus design provides exceptional driver visibility and maneuverability. It shares many body parts with the Blue Bird All American, resulting in a reduction in parts and service complexity. Cockpit ergonomics enable drivers to effortlessly transfer between the Blue Bird Vision and All American buses without having to learn a new layout for school districts with mixed fleets— that's purpose built. We are committed to reducing your total cost of ownership. From chassis to body to cockpit, Blue Bird's Vision is a winner: a purpose-built school bus from a purpose-driven company that is clearly best-in-class.
