Busjack Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Bus1883 said: I feel that those 6400s may be back there for a minute. From the looks of it is that no one is seems interested in purchasing them for scrap maybe there could be rebidding back to back don’t take my word for it I may be wrong either way. CTA scrap contracts don't work that way. They are for bids for plus or minus the spot price of scrap metal by weight. Unless all the scrap yards are put out of business, someone will take them. It isn't like Pace in the old days selling intact buses to private operators and the like, and once CTA drains fluids and seizes the engines, the only place for them is the shredder. In fact, a contract on that solicitation has been awarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dam 275k for junk buses well the yard can make that back all they are going to do is get the cats & good parts off the buses like the good rims & tires & whatever else they can before smashing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTA expects to be paid $275K. The ordinance says "revenue-generating contract." On the rest, probably. Since the scrap is sold by weight, it depends if some parts are worth more as salvage or scrap. Clearly, most of the weight is in the engine, and after CTA decommissions it, there's nothing left salvagable. IIRC, CTA only leases the tires.
