Poll - Who do you think will win the City of Phoenix/Valley Metro contract? |
|
|
Posted by Pink Jazz on Fri May 4 20:00:26 2012 Four manufacturers - New Flyer, NABI, Gillig, and ElDorado National - have made bids for the City of Phoenix/Valley Metro contract. The contract should be awarded by June 1, and includes a total of 200 buses (diesel and LNG), with 40 buses delivered per year.I would say New Flyer is the most likely, followed by NABI, then ElDorado, and finally Gillig. The reason why I put ElDorado above Gillig is because in 2008, the City of Phoenix actually awarded a contract to ElDorado, but the order got cancelled due to the economy. The City of Phoenix (nor any of the other Valley Metro divisions) has never bought any buses from Gillig directly; all Gilligs that have been operated in the past were contractor-provided buses. |
