AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Purchase of Transit Fare Collection Equipment from
Sole Source GFI GenFare, of Elk Grove Village, IL ($38,938)
MEETING DATE: May 7, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving purchase of transit fare collection
equipment from sole source GFI GenFare, of Elk Grove Village, IL, in
the amount of $38,938.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi has recently received Proposition 1 B funds from
Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement, and Service
Enhancement Account (PTMISEA) for the purchase and installation of
automated fare box equipment. Since automated fare boxes have been installed on all the transit fleet
vehicles, City staff recommends purchasing retrofit parts and reusing the majority of the existing fare box
equipment in the new buses. The retrofit parts include shorter fare box pedestals and cashboxes to
properly fit the 13 replacement buses approved by Council on April 16, 2014. The proposed parts cost
approximately $3,000 versus $12,500 for a new fare box.
Since 2010, automated fare boxes have been installed on all revenue -generating transit fleet vehicles.
Fare collection has increased with the automated fare box installations since the drivers have a mechanism
to verify collected funds.
In September 2011, City Council adopted a resolution approving the standardization of the GFI GenFare
fare box equipment and waiving the formal bidding process. City fleet staff will perform the removal,
retrofitting, and installation of the fare box equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT: Purchase of the transit fare collection equipment will provide accountability of
passenger revenue.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: FY 2013/14 Capital Equipment Purchase (125290)
