BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2010, 15 automated GFI Genfare fare boxes were purchased and installed on the transit buses using American Recovery and ReinvestmentAct (ARRA) funds. Fare revenue increased by approximately $1,000 during the first month of operation with the new fare boxes. The automated fare boxes validate coins, bills and transfers, providing the drivers with a mechanism to verify funds. City staff is requesting City Council approve standardization of the fare collection equipment and parts and waive the formal bidding process per Lodi Municipal Code Section 3.20.070, Bidding, for the following reasons: 1) Magnetic Encoding — Tickets, passes and transfers are encrypted with a magnetic strip using a proprietary encoding format designed and engineered by GFI Genfare to maximize security and minimize fraud. GFI Genfare is the only authorized manufacturer providing the specific encoding for the City's fare box collection equipment to ensure system compatibility and security. 2) Regortina - The encryption formatting contains reporting data used for reporting the fare type and usage to the Electronic Reporting System, designed and provided by GFI Genfare. 3) Service - City mechanics have received training required to perform the preventive maintenance, trouble shooting, and equipment repairs for the GFI Genfare equipment. 4) Snare Parts — Inventory costs will be reduced by only maintaining an inventory of GFI Genfare equipment. The fare collection equipment will be purchased with remaining ARRA grant funds and Proposition IB Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement, and Service EnhancementAccount (PTMISEA) funds received in 2010. GFI Genfare provided a proposal for equipment based on the City's previous purchase prices in March 2010 and a recent contract bid for the City of Porterville. The purchase includes electronic fare boxes, cashboxes, card stock and spare parts. Total project costs are estimated to be $85,000, including the cost of installation of equipment by City staff and contingencies. Appropriations of $80,200 are included in the FY 2011/12 budget and an additional appropriation of $4,800 is requested for a total of $85,000.
