AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Two -Year
Extension Option (FY 06107 and FY 07108) of Transit Operations Contract with
MV Public Transportation, Inc.
MEETING DATE: August 3, 2005
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager
to execute the two-year extension option (FY 06107 and FY 07108) of
the Transit operations contract with MV Public Transportation, Inc.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its May 21, 2003, meeting, the City Council awarded a contract to
MV Public Transportation, Inc., for Transit operations. The contract
term was for three years with two additional one-year options available.
Staff noted that they would return following the second year with a
recommendation regarding the execution of the option years. Staff is recommending that the two option years
be executed at this time to ensure continuity of service.
At the time bids were originally received, costs were obtained for these two option years. The current
costs for the 05106 fiscal year and the two option years are:
Dial -A -Ride Fixed Fee
Dial -A -Ride Cost per Hour
Fixed Route Fixed Fee
Fixed Route Cost per Hour
Current Fiscal
Year FY
$23,591.00 $24,086.00
$21.01 $21.41
$19,660.00 $20,071.00
$21.01 $21.41
FY 07108
$24,596.00
$21.43
$20,497.00
$21.43
During the past two years, service quality has improved greatly with provisions of the contract not only met but
exceeded. Drivers maintain professional uniforms, the buses are clean, and local and corporate management
is available, involved and easily accessible when staff has questions or concerns. In addition, MV Public
Transportation, Inc., has assisted the City with pursuing new options for revenue and service including
Greyhound service and the proposed enhancements and reductions in conjunction with the Short -Range
Transit Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of operations has been included in the budget for the Transit system.
Failure to award the option years would result in the need to rebid the service, which
could result in higher costs and would require significant staff time to prepare.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Transit operations are paid for utilizing Transportation Development Act funds,
Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 funds, Measure K transit operations
funds, and fare revenue. Funding is allocated in the annual budget process. No
additional funding is required at this time.
