Aspen, CO 81611 RE: Request to "Piggyback" Dear Mr. Osier, The Town of Vail is interested in purchasing Two (2) Gillig 40 Foot Low Floor buses. We understand that RFTA may be willing to assign some of its option buses to other properties. If you should have optional buses still available, the Town of Vail would appreciate the opportunity to "Piggyback" on to your existing order. The Town of Vail would need a letter from RFTA assigning the option units and appropriate documentation as required by the Federal Transit Administration. I hope the proposed piggyback arrangement will not inconvenience or affect your entity other than to reduce the number of option buses available. The Town of Vail will sign a separate contract with GILLIG and pay them directly. All contractual activity will be directly between the Town of Vail and Gillig. On behalf of the Town of Vail, I would like to thank you for considering this request. If I can provide any other information, do not hesitate call me. I can be reached at (970) 479 -2163 or by e-mail at tscholl(availgov.com.
