12-20-1994 - Request for Proposals for Operation of the Shuttle ServiceCity of Wqt Covina
Memorandum
TO: CityCouncil. and City Manager ALGENDA
FROM: Human Services Department ITEM NO. c-io-h
DATE u4za4 a -
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR ®PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
OPERATION OF THE SHUTTLE SERVICE
Sum: The current contract for the operation of the Shuttle service ends on June 30,
1995. This report requests approval to ask for proposals from fixed route
transportation operators to continue the service.
BACKGROUND
The current contract with DAVE Transportation Company for the operation of the fixed route
Shuttle service ends on June 30, 1995.
The Shuttle service provides a fixed route, four -vehicle service, seven days a week, generally
serving the central area of the City. (Brochure information attached.)
The ridership on the Shuttle averages 10,000 rides per. month and has been relatively problem
free for the past four. years. A new route serving the Baldwin Park Metrolink Station was added
last year and complements the City's park -and -ride parking spaces in the City Hall parking
structure.
To continue the service after June 30, 1995, Staff has prepared a Request for Proposals to seek
competitive proposals from transit operators familiar with fixed route operations.
ANALYSIS
As desired by the City Council, Staff is requesting alternative fuel vehicles (propane) for the new
Shuttle service. Both electric vehicles and liquified natural gas vehicles have been found to be
too costly and not as reliable as propane vehicles. Electric vehicles would cost approximately
$150,000 each. Propane vehicles would cost $65,000.each and can be fueled at the City yard.
The current fixed route is not planned to be changed at this time. except for a possible service
link to the automobile Plaza between Azusa and Hollenbeck Avenues along Garvey Avenue.
The service uses four 18-seat vehicles plus a backup vehicle. All five new vehicles will be
provided by the successful operator. The term of the contract is for five years which coincides
with the life of these size vehicles. The delivery time of vehicles is running 20-24 weeks,
therefore, the Request for Proposals must be released as soon as possible. Allvehicles must
meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
FUNDING
Our current year contract amount (July 1990) is approximately $405,000. The proposed propane
vehicle annual service contract is estimated to cost in the $425,000 per year range. Prop A
funds are available to continue to fund this service.
TIMETABLE
Proposals are requested to be submitted no later than February 9, 1995. The award of a contract
is scheduled for February 21, 1995.
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the City, Council authorize the Human Services Director, to solicit. proposals from
transportation operators for the operation of the Shuttle service.
