Committee advances Title VI update, WYDOT grant authorization and transit-facility renovation bid

Aaron Johnson, Cheyenne Transit Program administrator, presented a trio of transit items to the finance committee: the required three-year Title VI update, an authorizing resolution to apply to the Wyoming Department of Transportation for rural public transportation grant funds (with a larger match figure discussed in the record), and a bid award for interior and exterior renovations to the Cheyenne Transit Facility.

Johnson said the Title VI update is routine for agencies that receive federal transit funds. On the grant authorization, he told the committee the program seeks operating-match and program-income match funding and provided numbers in the record tied to the application packet; the transcript includes spoken figures that will need cross-checking with the grant documents.

For facility renovations, Johnson presented four responsive bids and recommended Construction Specialist Inc. as the low, responsible bidder. Purchasing staff confirmed the firm’s past work for the city. The committee moved and recommended acceptance of the low bid of $2,169,500.

All three items were recommended to the governing body by unanimous voice vote.
