' HopeSource Transportation is willing to purchase from Yakima Transit seven vehicles
which are ready to be pulled out of service by the fleet manager. This includes two wide body
Dodge vans with rear load wheelchair lifts, two Ford E 450's, and three, single axle Ford E 350's.
We are extremely interested in being considered for this purchase. Presently we are
declining rides to the citizens of Kittitas County due to a shortage of vehicles to operate. We offer
the same type of door to door, paratransit service that these vehicles were designed for. They were
purchased with state funding which also funds our paratransit service and the state has given it's
recommendation that these vehicles could be used by HopeSource Transportation.
Our operation responsibilities and operational funding has expanded, but our capital
funding has not, thus making this purchase even more critical to the health and well being of our
community.
I understand that these vehicles need different levels of maintenance and I am willing to take
care of those issues.
Thank you so much for thinking of us and considering our offer to purchase these vehicles.

excess to the needs of the City of Yakima (reference enclosed one page listing). These vehicles

approval is requested to declare these items surplus and to authorize the City Manager to dispose
of these items in a manner most beneficial to the City of Yakima, seven specifically to Hope
