PURPOSE:
GTA contracts with Transdev Services Inc. for the management and operations of transit services. A contract addendum totaling $280,000 is required in order to pay TransDev Services Inc. for providing these services through June 30, 2017.
BACKGROUND:
On June 3, 2014, the City awarded a three-year contract to Veolia Transportation, Inc., which is now Transdev Services Inc., to provide on-going management and operation of the GTA fixed route, demand response, and ADA complementary paratransit services for the Greensboro community. The City’s contract with Transdev, Inc. for the ADA Complementary Paratransit service is based upon a set fee for each completed passenger trip. The budget for the ADA Complementary Paratransit services for FY 2016-2017 was based on 232,490 completed trips. GTA has experienced a 21% increase in completed passenger trips for senior services (Dorothy Bardolph Senior Center, Adult Center for Enrichment), a 5% increase in trips for medical purposes, a 6% increase in general purpose trips and an 8% increase in employment trips over last fiscal year. Based on the ten month actual average of completed passenger trips and projections to June 30, 2017, GTA’s ADA Complementary Paratransit service will provide over 244,000 passengers trips during FY 2016-2017, which represents a 5% increase in passenger trips over the amount budgeted.
BUDGET IMPACT:
This addendum will increase the FY 2016-2017 contracted transportation contract by $280,000 to support additional ADA Complementary Paratransit service passenger trips. The increase will be funded from GTA Fund account 564-4531-03.5423. A budget adjustment is required to move the funds into the appropriate account.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Department of Transportation recommends and requests that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend the contract with Transdev Services, Inc. increasing the FY 2016-2017 maximum compensation for the management and operations of GTA Transit Services in the amount of $280,000 and approve the associated budget adjustment.
