The final motion was to approve the lowest bid from Rice Motor Company of $64,838.00 for an eight to 10 passenger service Suburban; reject all bids for eight to 10 passenger transit vans; accept the lowest bid from Southern Bus and Mobility for the amount not to exceed the second lowest amount, of $99,365.00 for an 11 to 15 passenger white activity bus; and reject all bids for a seven to nine passenger Driver's Ed van and to rebid that vehicle. The five present board members approved the motion. Kelly Ackerman and Brandon Barbre were absent.
