PURPOSE:
A contract amendment is necessary to add an additional $55,000 to the UZURV Holdings, Inc. contract to continue the Transportation Services Agreement entered into on or about January 3, 2019 for a 6-month pilot program to provide alternative transportation options to eligible riders of the City’s Specialized Community Area Transportation Service (SCAT).
BACKGROUND:
The original contract agreement amount between the City and UZURV was $100,000.00. A first amendment to the extend contract was approved on July 1, 2019 to allow the remaining funds in the amount of $49,999 to be expended through December 31, 2019. However, due to the increased demand for the service, it is estimated that all funds will be exhausted by October 6, 2019.
In an effort to continue the transportation services through December 31, 2019, the City and UZURV requests to amend the contract to add an additional $55,000, which will increase contract costs to operate the pilot program from $100,000 to $155,000.
BUDGET IMPACT:
These funds to support the contract amendment in the amount of $55,000 are budgeted in the Transit Operations Fund account 564-4531-03.5423.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Department of Transportation recommends and requests that the City Council approve the attached Resolution adding $55,000 to the UZURV Holdings, Inc. contract.
