for a transportation bus for the Custody Services Bureau.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% General Fund, Sheriff's Detention Budget.
BACKGROUND:
The vendor, Motor Coach Industries (MCI), currently provides and builds inmate
transportation motor coaches for the California Department of Corrections, Los Angeles
County Sheriff, as well as other Sheriff's offices throughout the State of California.
MCI's motor coaches are designed and engineered to have a useful lifespan of
approximately 600,000 miles. In the past, the Sheriff's Office used Thomas Built buses,
which are mostly designed for transportation of school children. MCI's motor and
transmission combination are industry standard for large long-haul trucks designed to last a
very long time, which is necessary considering the partitions and security features required
