ACTION:
MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT BY. �
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Mary Lindley, Parks, Recreation, and Community Service (,
Director
Prepared by: Shaun Kroes, Management Analystd
DATE: May 17, 2007 (CC meeting of June 6, 2007)
SUBJECT: Consider Award of Agreements for Transit Operating Services
and Capital Maintenance Services
SUMMARY
The City Council is being asked to approve two agreements with Coach America (CUSA)
CC LLC. One agreement is for Transit Operating Services and the second is for Capital
Maintenance Services.
DISCUSSION
Staff solicited Requests for Proposals (RFP) on March 22, 2007 for Operation of City fixed
route bus services. The RFP was for two agreements, and included two cost proposals.
One was for Transit Operating Services and one was for Capital Maintenance Services.
The agreements are to be awarded to one company. Providing separate agreements for
operation and maintenance allows the City to remove maintenance costs from operating
costs under Transportation Development Act rules. This benefits the City's farebox goal
efforts. The City received two bids. One was from CUSA and the other was from MV
Transportation. The results are as follows:
CUSA
Cost Proposal Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Operating $30.60/hour $31.52/hour $32.47/hour
Capital Maintenance $18.35/hour $18.90/hour $19.47/hour
Total $48.95/hour $50.42/hour $51.94/hour

MV Transportation
Cost Proposal Year 1 Year 2 Year3
Operating $45.94/hour $45.29/hour $46.48/hour
Capital Maintenance $6.16/hour $5.64/hour $5.84/hour
Total $52.10/hour $50.93/hour $52.32/hour
The proposals were evaluated on their proposal supplemental questions, cost, and overall
presentation. The low bidder is CUSA for the combined hourly rates. Although MV
Transportation's hourly rate for Capital Maintenance is significantly lower than CUSA, MV's
operating hourly rate is much higher than the current cost of transit operation and would not
allow the City to meet its 20% farebox ratio requirement.
CUSA currently operates and provides capital maintenance for the City's fixed transit
services. The drivers that CUSA has provided in the past have been very professional,
courteous to passengers, and provide suggestions on how bus stops, and routes can be
adjusted to improve service to Moorpark residents.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Award agreements and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements with CUSA
CC LLC.
