AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to Execute Professional Services
Agreement with MV Transportation, Inc., of Dallas, TX, for Transit Operation Services
($9,690,000)
MEETING DATE: May 3, 2017
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION.
Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute Professional
Service Agreement with MV Transportation, Inc., of Dallas, TX, for
Transit operation services, in the amount of $9,690,000.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 18, 2012, City Council awarded the Transit operations
contract to MV Transportation, Inc., of Dallas, TX, for a three-year term
with two one-year extensions, through Fiscal Year 2016/17. Since the
final one-year extension is expiring in June 2017, City staff solicited proposals for transit operation services.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) for Transit operation services was released on January 19, 2017 by advertising
in two newspapers for three days each and distributing notifications by mail to several transit contractors. City
staff held a non -mandatory, pre -proposal conference prior to the proposal due date with five potential
proposers in attendance and presented a summary of requested services, city -provided vehicles/facility, and
contractor's responsibilities. Six proposals were received by the proposal due date, March 1, 2017; all were
found to be responsive.
The proposals were distributed to an evaluation panel for review and based on the following evaluation
factors; Organization/Management (30 percent), Financial (35 percent), and Technical (35 percent). The
evaluation panel (comprised of the City's Transportation Manager, Transportation Planner, and Transit
Managers from City of Manteca and City of Tracy) interviewed four of the six highest scoring firms. Based
on the interview scores, the two highest scoring firms were requested to provide their Best and Final Offer
(BAFO) which is a common practice in Transit procurements. The evaluation panel reviewed the BAFO's,
and scored the firms again using the same evaluation factors.
Based on the total score from the evaluation panel, MV Transportation, Inc. received the highest score. The
proposal submitted by MV Transportation, Inc. presented the lowest cost, proposed to continue with the same
General Manager and Safety and Training Manager, retained all current staff (subject to City's background
check), and included all required elements of the RFP. The City Council shall have the discretion to: 1) award
the Professional Services Agreement to the proposer whose proposal is most advantageous to the City, or 2)
reject any and all proposals. The Council is not bound by the recommendation of the evaluation panel.

*Including two optional extensions (Fiscal Years 2020/21 and 2021/22)
The Professional Service Agreement for the initial three-year term begins July 1, 2017, ending June 30, 2020.
Pricing for each of two, one-year options to extend is adjusted by a percentage amount equal to 80 percent of
the annual change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all Urban Consumers for San Francisco -Oakland -
San Jose, California area. The total costs for the two optional extensions have been estimated based on the
current adjusted CPI. Due to the size, only the agreement is provided in the Council packet. A full copy of
the agreement, along with all exhibits, is on file in the Public Works Department and can be provided upon
request.
Staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute Professional Service Agreement with MV
Transportation, Inc., of Dallas, TX, for Transit operation services. Staff also recommends authorizing the
City Manager to execute two additional one-year extensions, if it is advantageous to the City. The total five-
year term of the agreement is estimated to cost $9,690,000, if all extensions are executed.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed contract hourly and monthly rates for the first year are less than
the current rates. There is an estimated annual savings of $97,000 for the first
agreement year. There is no impact to the General Fund from this agreement.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funds for this contract are from Transportation Development Act, Federal
Transit Administration funds, and Measure K funding and will be included in
the Fiscal Year 2017/18 Transit Operations (60054) budget.
