artthouwill Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 1 hour ago, Busjack said: On the June Finance subcommittee agenda: Technically there isn't a contract to assign, but who's going to get it??? Who's saying New Flyer? Is this basically a "reassignment " of Proterra's assignment? Perhaps the new owners can't or won't fill the CTA order for Proterras that would still have needed to be built and delivered. Perhaps this will also prompt Pace to act accordingly. New Flyer should be the obvious favorite here, but we are talking about the CTA. So it wouldn't surprise me if Gillig actually would win this assignment.

Based on what BC Transit said and that CTA contracts were listed in the same court order, I assume that there is no contract. However, given how the contract with the body supplier were handled, it's possible that Phoenix wants to renegotiate the contract. We'll have to wait for either it being discussed tomorrow or the ordinance posted to find out what happened. As for Pace, maybe Metzger will say something tomorrow, or Pace may just be congratulating itself for making 40 years and praying it makes 41, but it was not listed on the court order.

Item 19.A-1: "No questions.".. I guess we'll have to wait for the ordinance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcmetro Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 Here's the ordinance: https://www.transitchicago.com/file.aspx?DocumentId=9679 Reassigned to Phoenix Cars (Proterra successor) with no change to the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noted the possibility of that, but don't now see why the rejection and board approval of the same terms were necessary, when that would have been the result of the bankruptcy court's order of sale. Phoenix must have convinced CTA of something in the 3 month interim (the reference to honoring all service obligations may be a clue).

Farebox has been removed among parts from #600. On the other hand, @maths22's tracker indicates most of the rest have been in service recently: 12 out of 23. Could be better, but not so bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were several stoplights along the path where she could have let me off and I would have been quite happy.

Why repost a question that was asked and answered? 15 hours ago, Al Mac said: Waste of money! I was thinking this is the wrong thread, but the 700s one is so old that I couldnt find it. The original purchase was for a 2-year trial. What was probably the waste of money (and I don't know if it was local or federal money) was the change order in Ordinance 018-051: Looks like for the $1.2 million, CTA only got a couple of trips on 79 and the Midway charger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
