Maryland School District: Electric Bus Fleet
These people are idiots!
School District Turns to Diesel After Attempt to Convert Bus Fleet to Electric Proves Disastrous
Quote:“On February 23, 2021, as part of its commitment to sustainability, MCPS announced it was replacing 326 diesel school buses with electric school buses,” Limarzi wrote.
That ambitious purchase came at a cost of $168,684,990.
Quote:Alas, Limarzi found that the electric bus contractor “did not deliver any of the buses expected in FY2022 through FY2024 by August 1st as required by the agreement’s delivery schedule.”
Nor will the contractor meet said delivery goal for the 2024-25 school year.
With that in mind, MCPS should have assessed fees, as it would have done under a diesel bus contract. But it did not do so, which cost an additional $1.8 million.
Quote:And yet, despite the contractor’s repeated failures to service the buses, MCPS inexplicably assessed no fees. That decision cost taxpayers another $372,100.
Incredibly, lost fees alone cost taxpayers more than $2.1 million.
Meanwhile, MCPS has spent another $14,749,919 on 90 diesel buses to cover the shortfall. Thus, in light of the original purchase, the total cost to taxpayers has approached $200 million.

He probably just had the deepest pockets of all the ones it could have been.
