Background Information:
The City is authorized by the Local Government Code, Chapter 271, and by the “Interlocal Cooperation Act”, Texas Government Code, Chapter 791, to participate in cooperative purchasing programs to increase efficiency and effectiveness of local government procurement and contracting.
The State of Oklahoma Management and Enterprise Services has awarded a contract #SW0797M for ADA Transit Buses to Model 1 Commercial Vehicles, Inc., with locations across the United States to include Irving, Texas. This contract is valid through November 2032. The City of San Marcos would like to utilize this contract for purchase of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant transit vehicles and related accessories to support accessible and reliable transportation services. This solution helps the City provide safe, equitable, and efficient transportation for all individuals, including those with disabilities.
The State of Oklahoma Management and Enterprise Services contract #SW0797M is recommended by the Texas Department of Transportation - Public Transportation Division (TxDOT-PTN) for purchases of these buses. TxDOT-PTN supports public transit throughout the state of Texas and provides transit agencies with State grant funding and pass-through Federal Transit Administration grant funding in support of these capital investments.
