Dear Mr. Aguilar,
Thank you for your interest in purchasing (2) 29’ CNG Low Floor Buses by utilizing the Basin Transit Contract No. 23-01, administered by Basin Transit on behalf o f itself and the California Association of Coordinated Transportation (CalACT) consortium members.
Attached you will find the price variance that would pertain to your order. This price is based upon the contract terms and modification-amendment 1 that went into effect August 2025.
(2) 29’ CNG LOW FLOOR BUSES $898,500.00 each
This price is valid for 90 days and is FOB Santa Clarita, CA. Prices exclude any license fees. The production start date of this order will begin within 23 – 26 months from receipt of purchase order.
The current Administration has recently placed substantial tariffs on goods imported into the United States, and there have been indications that additional or different tariffs may be imposed. Although we are actively working with our suppliers to determi ne the financial impact these tariffs may ultimately have on our material and production costs, we believe in some cases (bus configuration) it will add a significant cost to the bus price which GILLIG is unable to absorb. As a valued partner, you have our commitment and assurance that we will do everything possible to minimize the impact as we navigate this developing situation. However, cont ract modifications and price adjustments will likely be necessary to offset any cost increases due to these tariffs.
We thank you for this opportunity and appreciate your interest in GILLIG and our products. We at GILLIG look forward to building another order for Santa Clarita and in so doing, continuing to build our lasting partnership.
Working together, GILLIG is confident we can manage the tariff situation and continue to build and deliver the best transit buses in the industry along with the highest level of customer satisfaction.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (510) 512-2638.
Sincerely,
Sean Solis
Regional Sales Manager
