AGENDA REPORT
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Daniel Kim, City Engineer/Public Works Director
BY: Michelle Woomer, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: 04/16/2025 Regular Meeting
SUBJECT: Consider Amendment No. 3 to Agreement with the City of Thousand
Oaks for Moorpark Fixed Route Transit Operations; Consider
Amendment No. 2 to Fixed Route Transit Preventive Maintenance
Agreement; Consider Amendment No. 3 to Moorpark Local Dial-A-
Ride Services Agreement; and Consider Amendment No. 5 to East

BACKGROUND
For more than 10 years, the City of Thousand Oaks (Thousand Oaks) has been providing
transit services to the City of Moorpark (Moorpark). Moorpark began contracting with
Thousand Oaks for fixed route (bus) transit operations, fixed route transit preventative
maintenance, and Moorpark local Dial-A-Ride (DAR) paratransit services on June 30,
2012. Thousand Oaks staff performs maintenance and fueling services for Moorpark’s
bus fleet and contracts with a third-party vendor, MV Transportation, Inc. (MV Transit) for
bus operations and Local DAR services. Additionally, Thousand Oaks serves as the
Fiscal Agent for the East County Transit Alliance (ECTA) InterCity DAR services since
July 1, 2015. Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, the City of Simi Valley, and the County of
Ventura are all participants in the ECTA program and are all signatories for the Inter-
Agency Agreement.
Moorpark participated in a Request for Proposal (RFP) with Thousand Oaks for transit
service twice, once in 2015 and most recently in 2019. In 2019, Thousand Oaks selected
MV Transit to continue to be the operator for public transit services, which has been their
operator for the past 20 years. MV Transit was awarded a four-year contract in 2019
ending June 30, 2023; with an option of up to two, two-year extensions. The current
agreements have been extended once and are set to expire June 30, 2025. The second
two-year extension of the agreement will be from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027;
and encompass years three and four of the contract extensions.
Item: 10.H.

Honorable City Council

DISCUSSION
The proposed amendments to the transit agreements with Thousand Oaks would extend
their contract an additional two-years through June 30, 2027. Additionally, new hourly
MV Transit billing rates are proposed. Increased wages and labor market forces have
impacted the local labor market and existing contract specified wages are below current
market for similar agencies and positions. In order to remain competitive with other local
operators and attract qualified drivers, it was necessary for MV Transit to increase wages,
resulting in higher hourly rates for fixed route transit operations, local DAR paratransit,
and ECTA services.
Amendment No. 3 to the Fixed Route Transit Operations Agreement proposes a new
MV Transit hourly billing rate of $100.83 for year two of the contract extension (July 1,
2025 – June 30, 2026). This proposed rate is 4% higher than the current hourly rate of
$96.95. Contract extension year four (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027) will be $104.86.
This rate includes year one rate plus a four percent Consumer Price Index (CPI)
adjustment. The City’s bus fleet runs on Compressed Natural Gas and the Fixed Route
Transit 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 $0.37 per gallon equivalent. This
amendment also includes estimated annual management fees charged by Thousand
Oaks of $57,953.85 for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025/26.
As mentioned, Thousand Oaks staff performs maintenance for Moorpark’s bus fleet. The
Amendment No. 2 for Fixed Route Transit Preventative Maintenance billing rate is as
follows:
Labor: $141.23 per hour for labor
Parts: Cost plus 35 percent
Sub-let: Cost plus 15 percent
For all sub-let work that exceeds $2,500, Thousand Oaks must seek pre-approval from
Moorpark. Fees shall be fixed for year three of the extension (July 1, 2025 – June 30,
2026) and year four of the extension (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027) shall include the base
rate plus a four percent CPI adjustment.
Amendment No. 3 to the Moorpark Local Dial-A-Ride services Agreement also includes
a new billing rate. The new proposed MV Transit billing rate is $105.15 per revenue hour
for year three of the contract extension (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026). This proposed
rate is an increase of 17.2% higher than the current hourly rate of $89.68. Contract
extension year four (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027) will be $109.36, which is the year three
rate of contract extension plus a four percent CPI adjustment. An annual management
fee charged by Thousand Oaks to manage the Local Dial-A-Ride program will be an
estimated amount of $10,306.93.
175
Honorable City Council
04/16/2025 Regular Meeting

Amendment No. 5 to ECTA InterCity DAR service between Moorpark and Thousand
Oaks, and participating agencies of ECTA is to authorize Thousand Oaks to extend the
service contract with MV Transit for two years, beginning July 1, 2025, through June 30,
2027. Amendment No. 5 also includes a revised billing method for Management Fees,
which consists of wage and benefit, maintenance and operations costs, and cost
allocation expenses, as well as the increase of one-way fares for ADA trips and senior
trips from $6.00 to $8.00 per participant that went into effect January 1, 2025, to offset
increased operating costs. The Revised Schedule of Fees has a proposed fee of $125.67
per revenue hour for year three of contract extension (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026). Year
four of the contract extension (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027) will be year three plus a four
percent CPI adjustment. The estimated Management Fee for FY 2025/26, which
encompasses staff wages and benefits, maintenance, and operational costs is projected
to be $93,414.16. The City’s share of this fee is 25% or $23,353.54; which is divided
among the four operators that participate in ECTA.
Staff is recommending the City Council approve Amendment No. 2 to the Fixed Route
Transit Operations Agreement; approve Amendment No. 1 to the Fixed Route Transit
Preventative Maintenance Agreement; and approve Amendment No. 2 to the Moorpark
Local Dial-A-Ride Agreement. Approval of the Amendments will extend Moorpark’s
transit agreements with Thousand Oaks for an additional two-years to June 30, 2025, as
allowed by contract; and approve the proposed new hourly MV Transit hourly billing rates
as negotiated by Thousand Oaks.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as it does
not constitute a project which has a potential for resulting in physical change to the
environment, as defined by Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Therefore, no
environmental review is required.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for these will be included in the proposed FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 budgets
with an estimate of $450,000 (expense lines 2001-430-00000-51220 and 2001-430-
P0011-54020) in expenditures for preventative maintenance and Compress Natural Gas
(CNG) Fuel for the Fixed Route buses. The upcoming budget cycles will include an
estimate of a total of $950,000 (expense line 2414-430-P0011-51000) for Fixed Route
Operations, Local DAR and ECTA services expenditures. Upon adoption of the
FY 2025/26 & FY 2026/27 budget, there will be sufficient funds in both funds 2001 and
2414 to encumber the expense increase.
COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE
This action does not support a current strategic directive.

REVISED 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, and vehicle maintenance. Separately,
the City shall bill an annual “Management Fee” (see below). 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 County at the rate earned, 0.5 – 2.0 percent, on the same
proportional basis as billing, as a separate line item.
Contract Extension Year Three (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026):
$125.67 - MV billing rate per revenue hour
Contract Extension Year Four (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027):
Year Three rate plus a fixed annual rate increase of four percent.
The number of billed rides shall be determined by taking the total number of rides
performed (on a per-person basis, regardless of fare type) for ECTA InterCity Dial-
a-Ride services in a month and applying the number of rides to each individual
agency’s portion of total rides provided. For “other” rides, which are those rides not
assignable to any specific agency, each agency shall share the ride costs equally
(quarters). Any applicable grant offsets shall be applied on a per ride basis as
billed, until grant funding is exhausted.
Each agency shall pay in the same proportion as rides for vehicle leases,
maintenance, and fuel as for revenue hours as a separate charge for each item.
Any applicable grant offsets shall be applied in 12 equal credits, applied on a
calendar year basis, until grant funding is exhausted.
Costs for fuel, vehicles leases, and maintenance shall be at “billed” charges by the
Contractor and/or the City’s Fleet Division including all usual and customary
markups paid by the transit program.
The newly leased vehicle rate table is listed below.
*Vehicle Lease Unit Cost
(monthly)
ECTA Class A $ 1,995.19
City shall charge an annual Management Fee. Management Fee shall consist of
wage and benefit charges for staff management and billing, proportional shares of
Maintenance and Operations costs at the Transportation Center and Municipal
Service Center, and Cost Allocation expenses, billed on a proportional basis by
ridership. Expenses shall be specific to Fund 121, Project 5550 (ECTA), or where
applicable in Fund 651, Project 5550 (TOT DAR).
