edf40wrjww2msgDetailB:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d MTA expects to award the buses in June 2015. It's been delayed couple of times. RFP is coming out very soon.
The reason: "Delay due to extended negotiations with vendors and an allowance for possible State review prior to award. Cost decrease reflects latest market conditions."
MTA is budgeting $219.1 million now, instead of $245.5 million in previous budget.
There is an option order on this contract for up to 275 articulated buses. MTA is budgeting $234.3 million in 2016, pending approval of MTA's 2015-2019 Capital Program.
It is a potential split award if this order is delay again.
