AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Shaun Kroes, Program Manager
DATE: 06/19/2019 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Intergovernmental Agreements with the City of
Thousand Oaks for Fixed Route Transit Operations, Fixed Route
Preventive Maintenance, Local Dial-A-Ride Services and Amendment
No. 3 to East County Transit Alliance Fiscal Agent Agreement for
InterCity ADA and Senior Dial-A-Ride Services
SUMMARY
Beginning on June 30, 2012, the City of Thousand Oaks (Thousand Oaks) began
providing fixed route transit operations, fixed route preventive maintenance, and Dial-A-
Ride (DAR) paratransit services for the City of Moorpark (City). Thousand Oaks
provides fixed route preventive maintenance and fueling services for the City with its
own staff. Thousand Oaks provides fixed route transit operations and DAR paratransit
services utilizing its contracted transit operator, MV Transportation, Inc. (MV Transit).
In 2014, Thousand Oaks released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Transit Operational
Services for Fixed Route Transit Operations and DAR Paratransit Services. The City’s
transit services were included in Thousand Oaks’ RFP. The selected contractor from
that RFP process was MV Transit and Thousand Oaks continued to provide fixed route
preventive maintenance and fueling services directly.
On July 1, 2015, the City approved the East County Transit Alliance (ECTA) Fiscal
Agent Agreement for InterCity Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and Senior Dial-A-
Ride Services (ECTA Agreement). The ECTA Agreement was an Inter-Agency
Agreement with Thousand Oaks serving as the Fiscal Agent and signatories that
included the City, the City of Simi Valley, and the County of Ventura. The ECTA
Agreement established a new InterCity DAR program for the signatories’ residents and,
for the City, extracted InterCity ADA paratransit services from the DAR Paratransit
Agreement to the ECTA Agreement. The original DAR Paratransit Agreement remained
in place for IntraCity Senior DAR and ADA paratransit services.

Thousand Oaks’ Agreements with MV Transit end on June 30, 2019. On October 26,
2018, Thousand Oaks released a RFP for Transit Operational Services for Fixed Route
Transit Operations and Dial-A-Ride Paratransit Services. Moorpark’s transit services
and ECTA transit services were included in Thousand Oaks’ RFP. Thousand Oaks also
included transit services for the City of Westlake Village, City of Agoura Hills, and
Ventura County for their respective transit services. Proposals were due December 13,
2018. Thousand Oaks received four proposals initially; however, one proposer
(Transdev North America) requested to withdraw their proposal, citing staffing issues
and pricing mistakes that could not be rectified within the approved RFP process (per
Thousand Oaks staff).
The three remaining proposals were from First Transit, Inc. (First Transit), MV Transit,
and RATP Dev (RATP). Moorpark participated in the selection committee which heard
proposals from all three companies on January 22, 2019. Based upon pricing and
overall experience the committee selected MV Transit, and Thousand Oaks awarded its
Agreement to MV Transit on May 21, 2019. The term of the MV Transit Agreement is
from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2023. The Agreement also includes the option for
two, two-year period extensions.
Staff is recommending that the City Council consider awarding Agreements to
Thousand Oaks for Fixed Route Transit Operations (Attachment 1), Fixed Route
Preventive Maintenance (Attachment 2), Local DAR Services (Attachment 3), and
approve Amendment No. 3 for the ECTA Fiscal Agent Agreement (Attachment 4).
BACKGROUND
Moorpark contracts for Fixed Route Transit Operations, Fixed Route Preventive
Maintenance, Local DAR Services and Inter-City DAR Services. The City’s Fixed Route
transit system includes two routes (Route 1 and Route 2) that provide 11 trips each
between the hours of 6:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The current fare
on the bus is $1.00 for students/adults (age 6 – 64). Seniors (age 65 and older) and
individuals with a disability ride free. Also, passengers age 5 or younger, (accompanied
by a parent, guardian, or responsible person age 16 or older) ride for free. Beginning in
FY 2018/19, the City also began participating in the Ventura County Transportation
Commission’s (VCTC) College Ride program, allowing passengers with a valid college
ID to travel on the City’s bus for free. The City then receives a reimbursement of $1.10
for each free trip provided.
The City’s Local DAR program includes services for Senior DAR and ADA Paratransit
services. The Senior DAR program is an origin-to-destination service for Moorpark
residents age 65 and older. The rider pays $2.00 per one way trip (per trip) for travel
within Moorpark. The ADA Paratransit service provides origin-to-destination
transportation within Moorpark for $2.00 per trip for any City resident with a valid ADA
card, issued by the VCTC.

Honorable City Council

InterCity origin-to-destination trips for ADA residents are provided through the ECTA
Agreement. Prior to the ECTA Agreement, the City provided InterCity services for ADA
card holders for $3.00 per trip. A new Senior InterCity program was established, with
the same $5.00 per trip fare.
As a bit of background, in June 2012, the City’s transit contractor at the time, CUSA CC,
LLC (CUSA), announced that because of its bankruptcy proceedings, CUSA would not
be providing transit services to Moorpark after July 31, 2012. Moorpark staff released a
RFP for DAR Paratransit services and a RFP for Fixed Route Transit services on June
25, 2012 with a proposal due date of July 9, 2012.
Roadrunner Shuttle was the only contractor to submit proposals in response to the RFP.
After reviewing the proposals, staff recommended that City Council consider rejecting
the proposals received by Roadrunner Shuttle and instead authorize the City Manager
to negotiate Intergovernmental Agreements with Thousand Oaks for Fixed Route
Transit Operations, Fixed Route Preventive Maintenance, and Dial-A-Ride Paratransit
services for a two-year period. The Agreements became effective on July 26, 2012.
As mentioned in the Summary above, the City then participated in Thousand Oaks’ RFP
process in 2014 and entered into new Agreements with Thousand Oaks for continued
transit services after Thousand Oaks again entered into a new Agreement with MV
Transit.
Since awarding the Agreements Thousand Oaks and MV Transit have provided
satisfactory transit services for the City and City’s staff time devoted to administration of
Moorpark’s transit services has been reduced. Since Thousand Oaks began providing
maintenance services for the City’s five owned buses, there has been a significant
reduction in in-service mechanical breakdowns, which has reduced the amount of
service disruption that the City’s passengers experience.
Additionally, contracting with Thousand Oaks aligns the City with VCTC’s Regional
Transit Study, which recommended a more cooperative effort between the east county
cities to coordinate transit services. The use of Thousand Oaks for fueling also means
that the City is able to fuel at Thousand Oaks without the need for traveling to Simi
Valley to fuel the City’s compressed natural gas (CNG) buses. This allows the City to
utilize two vehicles per day instead of three (the third was a relief vehicle used while
other buses were sent to Simi Valley for fueling).
Table 1 on the following page provides a comparison of costs for the transit operators
cost proposals for Year 1, which was used as part of the Review Committee’s
assessment of the three transit proposers.

Table 1 above demonstrates that of the three proposals received, MV Transit’s proposal
was nearly $700,000 less on an annual basis for the first year of service, for all services
provided. It also shows that MV Transit’s bus operations were a little over $100,000
less than the second lowest proposer. Please note that the information in Table 1 does
not incorporate Thousand Oaks’ additional administrative fees, or Thousand Oaks’ bus
maintenance costs, which will be discussed further in this report. The hourly rates
included under MV Transit in Table 1 reflect the “best and final offer” established
between MV Transit and Thousand Oaks, as opposed to the original rates submitted
during the proposal period.

Table 2 above provides a breakdown of the new bus operation rates per Thousand
Oaks’ proposed Agreement (Attachment 1). Costs include MV Transit’s hourly rate of
$62.83 and Thousand Oaks’ new proposed Management Fee of $5,290, which is a
fixed monthly rate for the first year. Based on the City’s estimated annual revenue
hours of 5,780, the Management Fee is estimated to be approximately 15% of total
annual costs, which is consistent with Thousand Oaks’ current administrative fee of
15%. FY 2019/20 estimated costs for bus operations are a 25% increase compared to

the City’s FY 2018/19 Budget. The Fixed Route Operations Agreement also
incorporates fueling expenditures. Fueling occurs at the Thousand Oaks Municipal
Service Center and the City will continue to pay the same fueling costs as today, which
is billed at cost plus a $0.20 per gallon equivalent (for CNG). This is the same rate that
Thousand Oaks Transit pays.
The Draft FY 2019/20 Budget is $16,637 less than projected expenditures; however,
staff is not proposing to change the FY 2019/20 Budget at this time as bus maintenance
expenditures, and other transit expenditure adjustments may enable staff to complete
budget line item adjustments in FY 2019/20 or, if additional funding is necessary, a
request can be submitted during the City’s Mid-Year process

FY 2018/19 Budget FY 2019/20 Draft Budget Percent Difference
160,000$ 130,000$ -23%
Thousand Oaks staff will continue to provide bus maintenance services as they have
since 2012. The rates for Thousand Oaks’ Fixed Route Maintenance Agreement
(Attachment 2) will remain as they have for the past several years, with a maintenance
staff hourly rate of $95.00 per hour and overhead costs associated with parts (35%) and
sub-let work (15%). The rates are set by Thousand Oaks’ Fleet Services and approved
by Thousand Oaks’ City Council as part of Thousand Oaks’ budget process.
Maintenance costs that the City is invoiced are also the same rates that Thousand Oaks
Transit is invoiced. Another change to the Fixed Route Maintenance Agreement is that
fuel expenditures have been transferred to the Fixed Route Operations Agreement, as
fuel costs are more accurately defined as an operational expenditure.
Table 3 above reflects anticipated maintenance costs, and does not demonstrate a
reduction in Thousand Oaks’ proposed pricing. Maintenance costs can fluctuate on an
annual basis and are dependent on the amount of extraneous maintenance
expenditures that may occur (for example, if one or more buses require transmission
work in one year compared to another year when no extraneous transmission work is
required). In FY 2017/18, for example, the City’s maintenance costs were a little over
$101,000 and FY 2018/19 project expenditures look to be closer to $130,000.

Table 4 on the previous page details a projected cost increase of 36% for the City’s
local Senior DAR and ADA Paratransit services (travel within the City). The comparison
is not an exact “apples-to-apples” comparison because the new local DAR Services
Agreement (Attachment 3) changes the cost proposal from a standard per ride fee
($40.37/ride for the current agreement’s FY 2018/19 rate) to an actual monthly cost for
all of Thousand Oaks’ Local DAR services, which is then split between all participating
agencies based on a percentage of their overall ridership. Thousand Oaks has
requested the new rate structure after identifying that by having a fixed per-ride cost
each year, Thousand Oaks has been subsidizing the participating agencies by not fully
capturing the costs associated with providing DAR services. The new model matches
the existing ECTA Fiscal Agent Agreement that the City already participates in. It
should also be noted that while the current Local DAR Agreement’s rate of $40.37/ride
includes a 15% administrative fee, the new Agreement is a combination of MV Transit’s
actual costs (divided by all participating agencies) and a fixed monthly Management
Fee of $1,515. In the current estimated cost of $81,488, approximately 22%, or
$18,180 is Management Fee. An item to note; however, is that if the City’s ridership
demand increases, the Management Fee remains the same (again, similar to the
existing ECTA Agreement).

Table 5 above details the significant cost increase of InterCity Senior DAR and ADA
Paratransit services that will impact the City’s services beginning in FY 2019/20. It
should be noted that the existing ECTA Agreement does not have an expiration date;
however, the document does reference Thousand Oaks’ agreement with MV Transit,
which expires June 30, 2019. The proposed Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement
(Attachment 4) updates the ECTA Agreement by replacing references to MV Transit’s
Agreement No. 10470-2014 with MV Transit’s Agreement No. XXXXX-2019. Per the
existing ECTA Agreement the ECTA Management Committee (which consists of
representatives from the Cities of Moorpark, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, and the
County of Ventura) approve the annual InterCity DAR program budget.
The FY 2019/20 ECTA Agreement’s budget is 1,484,280, of which, 25.9% or ($384,132)
is the City’s expenses, based on projected ridership trends. The City’s actual
expenditure for FY 2019/20 will likely vary as ridership trends can vary year-to-year.
The ECTA Agreement also includes a Management Fee of $122,580 (or 8.26% of total
projected expenditures). The Management Fee is divided between the four participating
agencies on a monthly basis, depending on each agency’s percentage of rides
generated. Based on projected ridership trends, the City’s FY 2019/20 Management
615
Honorable City Council
06/19/2019 Regular Meeting

Fee is projected to be $28,023. This would account for 7.30% of the City’s projected FY
19/20 InterCity DAR services.
Amendment No. 3 also includes a clause stating that InterCity DAR fares will be
increased from $5.00 per trip to $6.00 per trip. Thousand Oaks is anticipating
implementing the fare increase no earlier than January 2020. The City has a separate
Fare Resolution that states the City’s InterCity DAR fare is $5.00. City staff will return to
City Council in the coming months with a proposed revised Resolution for consideration.
Table 6 below summarizes combined DAR service costs between Local DAR Services
and ECTA Services.

The Draft FY 2019/20 Budget is $12,620 less than projected expenditures; however,
staff is not proposing to change the FY 2019/20 Budget at this time for the following
reasons: 1) Actual ridership trends will impact actual expenditures. If Thousand Oaks’
projected ridership trends for the City are higher than what actually occurs in FY
2019/20, then a budget increase may not be necessary. If additional funds are
necessary, staff will return to City Council during the Mid-Year. There are projected
reserves in the Transportation Development Act Fund (2414) if a future budget
amendment is necessary.

Fuel and Bus Maintenance are more reflective of City staff reducing the FY 2019/20
Budget based on anticipated expenditures. Thousand Oaks’ proposals for bus
maintenance and CNG fuel for FY 2019/20 remain the same as in their respective FY
2018/19 current agreements. Overall, the new transit Agreements and Amendment No.
3 are estimated to increase transit expenditures by 44%. Of the $892,257 in estimated
expenditures, it should be noted that approximately $109,683 (or 12.29%) of the
expenditure is for various Thousand Oaks Management Fees. While the dollar amount
is high, staff would like to note that FY 2019/20 expenditures for the Valley Express
transit service (which serves the Cities of Fillmore, Santa Paula, and the County of
Ventura) will pay VCTC an overhead fee of $302,900, or nearly $101,000 per agency.
The overhead fee is approximately 15.63% of their total service expenditures
($1,937,600).
DISCUSSION
The proposed Agreements between Moorpark and Thousand Oaks (Attachments 1-3)
are 4-year Agreements and have the option for 2, 2-year extension. The ECTA
Amendment (Attachment 4) continues the existing InterCity DAR program, with a
proposed rate increase from $5.00 per trip to $6.00 per trip (to become effective later in
the fiscal year). The City would continue to receive the same level of service that it has
received from Thousand Oaks and its contracted transit operator as it has since July
2012. Moorpark residents would continue to benefit from having a call center where
they can reach a transit operator during the hours that the buses are in service.
Additionally, the City has benefited from Thousand Oaks’ requirement that MV Transit
pay for any repairs to the vehicles that are damaged regardless of whether the damage
is the fault of MV Transit’s drivers or a third party. This has expedited repairs to the City
vehicles and reduced staff time devoted to paying for repairs and receiving
reimbursement from third parties.
The overall condition of the City’s bus fleet since contracting with Thousand Oaks for
maintenance continues to be good. Since contracting with Thousand Oaks, staff has
noticed the buses are kept in a cleaner condition and vehicle repairs are completed in
an expedited fashion. Vehicles that experience a mechanical failure in the field are
quickly responded to by Thousand Oaks staff and in some instances the vehicle is
returned to service the same day.
Previously, City staff has provided City Council with a memo (dated April 26, 2019)
detailing the anticipated cost increases. Staff also provided a follow up email to City
Council on May 16, 2019, addressing some additional concerns that City Council had.
To summarize the information provided, an explanation for the significant cost increases
included competition from other transit companies/publicly operated transit services
(meaning the need to increase wages to compete for staff) and vehicle lease costs,
which can be dependent on the total number of vehicles needed to meet DAR demand.
The increased hourly rate for bus operations also factors in the additional deadhead
617

time it takes for drivers to travel to and from the City, which is not considered revenue
service hour time.
Additionally, regarding concerns about economies of scale and whether or not the City
should return to bidding for its own services; there should be economies of scale based
on the fact that certain fixed costs (such as office infrastructure, contractor-provided
general manager, safety coordinator, finance/billing staff, and vehicles) are spread over
a number of agencies rather than just one. The City has also benefited from being able
to devote staff time to other projects since contracting with Thousand Oaks. For
instance, the City recently had to assume responsibility for overall parking citation
processing services after (ironically) Thousand Oaks ended providing parking citation
processing services for the City when they stopped providing their own in-house
service. Staff has also been able to provide assistance for additional Public Works
related contracts and recently assumed responsibility for the Animal/Vector Control
Division, and will be overseeing the conversion of acquired street lights to LED lighting.

Funding Amount & Source
Table 8 above provides a summary of estimated transit expenditures for FY 2019/20.
As previously mentioned, a couple of the expense lines for transit services do not have
enough funding for a full fiscal year of projected expenditures; however, at this time staff
is recommending not adjusting the budget. Ridership trends for DAR service, actual
bus maintenance expenditures, and other transit expenditure adjustments may enable
staff to complete budget line item adjustments in FY 2019/20 or, if additional funding is
necessary, a request can be submitted during the City’s Mid-Year process. A similar
process was implemented in FY 2014/15 when the City awarded to Thousand Oaks for
FY 2014/15 through FY 18/19 services.

Each Agreement includes the potential for an annual rate increase. For the Fixed Route
Operations, a Consumer Price Index (CPI) formula is included for calculating the
revenue hour rate, with a maximum allowable rate increase of 3.00% per year. If the
CPI formula is negative, then the existing hourly rate remains unchanged. Thousand
Oaks’ Management Fee of $5,290 per month is fixed for Year 1 and can be adjusted
each following year based on mutual consent of the City and Thousand Oaks. The
CNG fuel cost is based on actual cost of fueling.
The Fixed Route Operations Agreement also includes the potential for a “bonus
payment” of 0.5 to 2.0 percent of revenue hour billing for “exceptional performance”.
This was a new feature of the Thousand Oaks RFP for transit service as new guidance
from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has established a more restrictive
methodology for assessing “liquidated damages”. Additionally, the City has the ability to
request up to $25,000 per year in additional services through mutual approval. This
may cover a project such as Thousand Oaks providing staff to perform a public
outreach campaign or some other function. This type of work would be dependent upon
the City identifying an available funding source.
The Fixed Route Maintenance Agreement’s costs are based on actual time and
materials spent on an annual basis. To date, Thousand Oaks has not raised any of its
rates or overhead expenses for maintenance services since establishing a time and
materials payment process in 2014. The City also has the ability to request up to
$25,000 per year in additional services through mutual approval. This may cover a
project such as the City requesting that new (not replacement) decals be added to the
City’s buses. This type of work would be dependent upon the City identifying an
available funding source.
The Moorpark DAR Agreement costs include the potential for an annual rate increase
based on both a CPI formula is included for calculating the revenue hour rate, with a
maximum allowable rate increase of 3.00% per year. If the CPI formula is negative,
then the existing hourly rate remains unchanged. Thousand Oaks’ Management Fee of
$1,515 per month is fixed for Year 1 and can be adjusted each following year based on
mutual consent of the City and Thousand Oaks. Additional expenditures that are
factored into the annual expense are fuel, vehicles leases, and maintenance. The
Moorpark DAR Agreement also includes the potential for a “bonus payment” of 0.5 to
2.0 percent of revenue hour billing for “exceptional performance”. This was a new
feature of the Thousand Oaks’ RFP for transit service as new guidance from the FTA
has established a more restrictive methodology for assessing “liquidated damages”.
Additionally, the City has the ability to request up to $5,000 per year in additional
services through mutual approval. This may cover a project such as the Thousand
Oaks creating and distributing a “how-to-ride” brochure for the DAR service. This type
of work would be dependent upon the City identifying an available funding source.

With Amendment No. 3 to the ECTA Fiscal Agent Agreement, the potential for cost
increases remains unchanged. The current ECTA Fiscal Agent Agreement calculates
all expenses associated with providing InterCity DAR services and those expenses are
shared between all participating agencies based on ridership participation and a
program budget adopted by the Management Committee.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Authorize the Mayor to sign Intergovernmental Agreements with the City of
Thousand Oaks for a four-year period with two, two-year extension options for
Fixed Route Transit Operations, Fixed Route Transit Preventive Maintenance,
and Moorpark Dial-A-Ride Agreement with the City of Thousand Oaks, with two,

may, at its sole option, notwithstanding other rights and remedies, assess City with
liquidated damages at the rate of $100.00 per hour to compensate Moorpark for staff
time spent investigating any verified contract violation. Said assessment shall be
deducted from any payments due or to become due to City under the terms of the
Agreement. Full payment by Moorpark shall not be construed as a waiver of
Moorpark’s right to deduct the liquidated damages assessment, provided the
assessment is then deducted from any payment made within 60 days from Moorpark
becoming aware that a contract violation has occurred.

Prior to the beginning of and throughout the duration of Work, City will maintain
insurance in conformance with the requirements set forth below. City will use existing
coverage to comply with these requirements. If that existing coverage does not meet
requirements set forth here, City agrees to amend, supplement or endorse the existing
coverage to do so. City acknowledges that the insurance coverage and policy limits set
forth in this section constitute the minimum amount of coverage required. Any insurance
proceeds available to Moorpark in excess of the limits and coverage required in this
Agreement and which is applicable to a given loss, will be available to Moorpark.
City shall provide the following types and amounts of insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance using Insurance Services Office (ISO)

losses and no less than $10,000,000 general aggregate.

autos in any way on this project, City shall provide evidence of personal auto liability for
each such person.
Workers' Compensation on a state-approved policy form providing statutory benefits as

coverages. Coverage shall be provided on a "pay on behalf' basis, with defense costs

the time insured's liability is determined, not requiring actual payment by the insured
first. There shall be no cross-liability exclusion precluding coverage for claims or suits
by one insured against another. Coverage shall be applicable to Moorpark for injury to
employees of City, subcontractors or others involved in the Work. The scope of
coverage provided is subject to approval by Moorpark following receipt of proof of
insurance as required herein.
Page 21 660
Insurance procured pursuant to these requirements shall be written by insurers that are
admitted carriers in the State of California and with an A.M. Best rating of A- or better
and a minimum financial size of VII.
General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by City. City and
Moorpark agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by City:
1. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Moorpark
and its officers, officials, employees, and agents shall be additional insureds
under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess liability policies.
City agrees to have its insurer endorse the third-party general liability coverage
required herein using standard ISO endorsement CG 2010 with an edition prior
to 1992 or other endorsement form that Moorpark considers equivalent, including
a blanket endorsement. City also agrees to require all contractors and
subcontractors to do likewise.
2. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall
be endorsed to waive subrogation against Moorpark, its elected or appointed
officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow
City or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these
specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. City hereby waives
its own right of recovery against Moorpark, and shall require similar written
express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subcontractors.
3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by City and available or applicable to
this Agreement are intended to apply to the extent of the policies. Nothing
contained in this Agreement or any other agreement related to Moorpark or its
operation limits the application of such insurance coverage.
4. None of the coverages required herein will be following these requirements if
they include limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to
Moorpark and approved in writing.
5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to
eliminate so-called " third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for
bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor.
6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and
additional requirements by Moorpark, as the need arises. City shall not make any
reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or
reduction of discovery period) that may affect Moorpark's protection without
Moorpark's prior written consent.
7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates
of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured
Page 22 661
endorsement to City's general liability policy, shall be delivered to Moorpark at or
prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance
is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled or
reduced at any time and no replacement or supplemental coverage is provided,
Moorpark has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems
necessary to protect its interests under this or any other Agreement and to pay
the premium. Any premium so paid by Moorpark shall be charged to and
promptly paid by City or deducted from sums due City, at Moorpark's option.
8. City shall provide Moorpark with immediate notice of any reduction or
cancellation of coverage.
9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this Agreement that all insurance coverage
required to be provided by City or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first
and on a primary, non- contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or
self-insurance available to Moorpark.
10. City agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the
Work who is brought onto or involved in the Work by City, provide the same
minimum insurance required of City. City agrees to monitor and review all such
coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is
provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. City agrees that
upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the
Work will be submitted to Moorpark for review.
11. If City's existing coverage includes a deductible or self-insured retention, the
deductible or self-insured retention must be declared to Moorpark.
12. Moorpark reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to
change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the City 90 days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial
additional cost to the City, Moorpark will negotiate additional compensation
proportional to the increased benefit to Moorpark.
13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be
deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any
steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this
Agreement.
14. City acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of
Moorpark to inform City of non-compliance with an insurance requirement in no
way imposes any additional obligations to Moorpark nor does it waive any rights
hereunder in this or any other regard.
15. City will renew the required coverage annually as long as Moorpark, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to
Page 23 662
this Agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the Agreement is
canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not
effective until Moorpark executes a written statement to that effect.
16. City shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during
the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies
providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been
ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from
City's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/
or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable
to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to Moorpark within five (5)
days of the expiration of coverage.
17. The provisions of any Workers' Compensation or similar act will not limit the
obligations of City under this Agreement. City expressly agrees not to use any
statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to Moorpark, its
employees, officials and agents.
18. Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this section are
not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a
waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference
to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a
given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-
inclusive.
19. These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any
other provision in this Agreement and are intended by the parties here to be
interpreted as such.
20. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of
this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts or
impairs the provisions of this section.
21. City agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party
involved in any way with the Work reserves the right to charge Moorpark or City
for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this Agreement. Any
such provisions are to be deleted with reference to Moorpark. It is not the intent
of Moorpark to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these
requirements. There shall be no recourse against Moorpark for payment of
premiums or other amounts with respect thereto.
22. Moorpark agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against
Moorpark arising out of the work performed under this Agreement. Moorpark
assumes no obligation or liability by such notice but has the right (but not the
duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to
involve Moorpark.

EXHIBIT B
SCHEDULE OF FEES
Billing shall be calculated on a “per-ride” basis based on a revenue hour calculation
according to National Transportation Database definition of “revenue hour” as exists on
July 1, 2019. In addition to revenue hour expenses, City shall bill for proportional costs
of fuel, vehicle leases, vehicle maintenance and a fixed monthly “Management Fee” to
determine per-ride costs. Additionally, bonus payments of up to two percent of revenue
hour billings may be earned by contractor for exceptional service. Bonus payment
earned by contractor will be billed by City to Moorpark at the rate earned, 0.5 – 2.0
percent, as a separate line item.
Contract Year One (July 1, 2019 – June 20, 2020):
$65.53 per revenue hour
The number of revenue hours billed shall be determined by taking the total number of
revenue hours contractor bills for Thousand Oaks Transit (local) Dial-a-Ride services in
a month and applying a percentage of hours proportional to the Moorpark portion of
rides provided to the total number of rides provided. Calculation of billable hours by
percentage shall be to two decimal places.
Moorpark shall pay the same proportion for vehicle leases, maintenance, and fuel as for
revenue hours as a separate charge for each item.
City shall charge a monthly Management Fee of $1,515 which shall be fixed for the first
year of the contract. Management Fee shall be adjusted annually, effective July 1, for
each subsequent year of the contract and the fee shall be established by mutual
consent.
Costs for fuel, vehicles leases, and maintenance shall be at “billed” charges by the
contractor and/or the City’s Fleet Division without additional mark-ups by the City.
An annual CPI adjustment for revenue hour billing rates in contract years two through
four shall apply, not to exceed three percent in any one year. CPI will be calculated as
the difference in the Consumer Price Index between June of the current contract year
and July of the previous contract year, all items, not seasonally adjusted, Los Angeles
region, and using the non-alternative method. In the event the CPI calculation results in
a negative number, the previous year’s rate shall apply. CPI adjustment for two-year
extensions shall be negotiated prior to contract extension.
Optional Work as described in Exhibit “A” shall be charged at a mutually agreed upon
price at the time the work is requested, up to a total of $5,000 per contract year.
Optional work beyond that figure will require a formal amendment of the Agreement’s
not-to-exceed amount.
Page 12 675
In the event Liquidated Damages are levied for failure to meet required Performance
Measures, Moorpark shall be entitled to a credit on their next monthly invoice equal to
the Liquidated Damages.
