Purpose: This grant is for planning work and the purchase of replacement electric buses and charging equipment per the competitive application for 5339(c) attached in application documents. Due to cost increases, the original request is not sufficient to cover the full price of these vehicles or equipment. Therefore, the additional funds were added to make up the difference.

Activities to be performed: The funds will be used to do planning needed to identify the appropriate electric vehicle type and purchase four (4) 35-ft battery electric buses and associated charging infrastructure to replace diesel buses that have met their useful life.

Expected outcomes: These electric buses will help to improve air quality and reduce emissions in the Missoula area, which is currently a federal non-attainment area for PM10 and a maintenance area for carbon monoxide.

Intended beneficiaries: MUTD and residents of Missoula, MT.

STIP/TIP and long-range plan documents, as well as the original competitive application, are attached in application documents.

Pre-award authority is selected for contracting purposes, but no costs have been incurred to date.
