RIVERSIDE, CA – Complete Coach Works (CCW), North America’s leading provider of transit bus and sustainable transportation solutions, is pleased to announce the sale of five rebuilt transit buses to Everett Transit. The sale, processed through the Washington State Transit Bus Cooperative Purchasing Schedule, marks Everett’s first bus acquisition under CCW’s WA statewide contract.
The sale is for five 2008 35′ Gillig buses with a significant amount of upfitting including: reupholstered passenger and driver seats, QStraint ADA positions, new flooring, a new camera system, frameless windows, updated mirrors, updated suspension, bike racks, and new paint, along with Everett livery decals.
Developed in accordance with FTA Guidelines and section 3019 of the FAST Act, the WA State Bus Cooperative Purchasing Schedule offers participating agencies a simplified procurement pathway for refurbished, repowered, and rebuilt transit buses from CCW. By partnering with CCW, municipalities like Everett Transit can expedite the delivery and purchasing processes, reduce administrative overhead, and focus resources on delivering transit services to their constituents.
“We are ecstatic to be partnering with Everett to assist them in bolstering their fleet with the addition of these five buses,” said James Carson at CCW. “The professionalism and efficiency in dealing with Everett’s fleet and procurement staff was excellent as we moved from investigation of what we could do for their fleet into realization of deliveries set to occur later in Q2”.
