9.C. 14 Passenger Tiny Tiger Addition to Fleet Presenter: Andrew Fellows Description: At the September meeting, information was presented to the Board supporting the need for an additional 14-passenger bus, and the Board was notified that the district would proceed with evaluating quotes. Due to a transition in leadership within the department, no action was taken at that time. This item is being brought back for Board consideration and action. The timeline for decision is important, as the vendor has provided a limited window to secure this purchase. There are currently several districts on a waitlist, and if not approved tonight and purchased within this year’s budget, the cost and procurement timeline will shift into the next fiscal year. This item was included in the 2025-2026 budget and has not yet been expended. Based on this year’s travel demands, our Suburbans and current Tiny Tiger vehicles are consistently utilized at or near full capacity. The addition of a 14-passenger Tiny Tiger will provide increased flexibility and efficiency for student transportation needs, particularly as it does not require a CDL to operate, making it a practical and responsive solution for our campuses.
