AGENDA TITLE: Approve Extension of Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. Contract for Fiscal Year 2000101
MEETING DATE: July 19, 2000
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving an
amendment to the contract with Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc., and
authorizing the City Manager to execute the amendment extending the
contract through June 2001.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: When the City of Lodi went out to bid for transit service in 1996,
DAVE Transportation Services was the low bidder. Since then,
Laidlaw Transit Services, Inc. has purchased DAVE. As per
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements, contract
extension prices must be specified in the original contract, and must not exceed five years.
Listed below is the history of operating cost for transit services and the proposed cost for fiscal year
2000/01. This is the same as was proposed and approved last year. The 8% increase in 1999/00 was
to fund a pay increase for the drivers and staff.
Vehicle Service % Increase Fixed Cost % Increase
The contract provides for one-year extensions, and, because of good performance, staff recommends the
extension to June 2001. In the winter of 2001, staff will come back to Council for approval of a Request for
Proposal (RFP) for transit services for the next five years.
FUNDING: FTA (50%)
