RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute Amendment
No. I to Professional Services Agreement with MV Transportation,
lnc., of Dallas, Texas, for Transit operations services.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On June 8,2017, the City Council authorized a Professional
Services Agreement with MV Transportation, lnc. to provide
transit operations services in the City. The agreement is for a
three-year term with the option to extend the agreement for two additional one-year terms. The
original Professional Services Agreement is available for review at the following link:

MV Transportation, lnc. has provided high quality fixed-route and paratransit services over the initial
term of the agreement. The local and regional MV Transportation, lnc. team has been committed to
delivering safe and high quality transit service to Lodi and its residents. Most recently, MV
Transportation, lnc.'s. local and regionalteam partnered with City Transit Staff to make changes and
accommodate the need to provide essentialtransit services in a safe and conforming environment
through the COVID-19 pandemic. While service has been reduced to address ridership declines, MV
Transportation, lnc. is ready to assume full operations services when a new normal resumes in a post
pandemic world. While we don't know exactly what the transit footprint will look like moving forward,
MV Transportation, lnc. is committed to adhering to the safety, hygiene, and social distancing
measures that have become the new standard in the delivery of transit services.
ln addition to agreeing to the one-year extension, MV Transportation, lnc. has also agreed to several
minor adjustments in the terms of its existing agreement to further improve service. The cost
adjustment for Option Year 1 is based on 80 percent of the annual change in Consumer Price lndex
(CPl) for all Urban Consumers from San Francisco - Oakland - Hayward (formerly San Jose),
California area. The annual change for this period is 3.31 percent. The total allowed increase (based
on 80 percent of the annual change) is 2.678 percent to the fixed hourly rate for Vehicle Revenue
Hours and to the fixed Monthly Expenses.
Staff recommends authorizing City Manager to execute Amendment No. 1 to Professional Services
Agreement with MV Transportation, lnc., of Dallas, Texas.
FISCAL IMPACT:Transit operations will realize an annual cost increase of less than
$50,000 that will be funded with a combination of State and Federal
Transit funds.
