MEMORANDUM
By — ______c e
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Assistant to the City ManagerIT6
DATE: June 25, 1992
SUBJECT: Consider Renewal of Contract for Transit Services
with Antelope Valley Bus for FY 1992/93
Background
The City currently contracts with Antelope Valley Bus for transit
services. This service consists of one 21 passenger bus that loops
the City every hour. The cost to the City for its transit service
in FY 1991/92 was $91 ,600. The cost for services in FY 1992/93
will remain the same. The City uses Transportation Development Act
funds to cover the costs of providing its transportation services.
In an effort to improve the City's bus service, staff is currently
working with Antelope Valley Bus to secure a bus that is in better
condition than the one presently assigned to Moorpark. If Antelope
can find a bus that is in excellent working order and meets the
City's requirements, but is approximately the same age as the
current bus, with the City's concurrence that bus will be purchased
at no additional cost to the contract. If a bus of the same
approximate age can not be located, a newer bus can be purchase
upon the City's approval. Such a purchase would increase the
contract cost. This issue does not impact the renewal of the
contract which Council is being asked to consider. At the time a
bus is located this matter will be brought to the Council for
consideration.
Staff proposes only one significant change to the service contract.
That change incorporates the City's ADA paratransit program,
approved by Council in January and is reflected Article 7
(Definitions) and Exhibit A (Contract for Services) of the
contract. The City currently operates a fixed route system which
requires that the bus stop at pre-set stops only. The system will
be modified to a fixed route/deviated

system which will allow the bus to deviate from the fixed route to
pick up eligible handicapped residents at alternate locations.
Since the City is not increasing the number of contract hours, the
paratransit program will not increase the contract cost.
The Council has expressed its interest in expanding the hours the
bus operates to accommodate riders utilizing the City's commuter
rail station. The City received approval from the Ventura County
Transportation Commission on its request for regional funds to
provide the expanded service for one year. Staff will report back
to Council in September for final approval of the commuter express
bus service and associated contract amendments.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor to sign a
contract with Antelope Valley Bus, at a cost not to exceed $91,600,
for transit services for FY 1992/93.
