Sarasota News Leader November 1, 2013 Page 49 According to an Oct. 22 memo from Carter to the commissioners, the fourth contract amendment to the 2010 agreement with Brasco International Inc. in Detroit would allow the county to spend up to $250,000 per year on bus shelters provided by the firm. The memo points out that the board set that figure as an "Administrative Upper Limit" in May. During the 2013 fiscal year, which ended on Sept. 30, SCAT installed 51 new shelters purchased under the existing Brasco contract, the memo continues. The latest amendment would allow the department to purchase more shelters to be installed during the current fiscal year in the city of Sarasota, on Siesta Key and in the Pinecraft community around Bahia Vista Street in Sarasota. Backup agenda material shows Brasco won the 2010 contract for the bus shelters with A chickee stands on the Brighton Seminole Indian Reservation in Glades County.
