Title
Resolution awarding a shuttle operations services agreement with Parking Company of America, LLC in an amount not to exceed $350,000 for South San Francisco Community Shuttle Operations
body
WHEREAS, the City of South San Francisco (“City”) desires to provide safe, clean, and reliable transportation to its residents; and
WHEREAS, the South City Shuttle has provided free transportation to the South San Francisco community since 2014; and
WHEREAS, funding of the South City Shuttle is financed by San Mateo County Transportation Measure A funds (75%) and city Local Measure A funds (25%); and
WHEREAS, the current shuttle operations services agreement is effective until January 31, 2023; and
WHEREAS, on September 1, 2022, staff advertised a Request for Proposals (RFP) for shuttle operations services; and
WHEREAS, the City received two responses to the RFP from ACE Mobility Solutions (“ACE”) and Parking Company of America (“PCAM”); and
WHEREAS, initially, on December 15, 2022, the City Council awarded the shuttle operations services agreement to ACE, but ACE subsequently advised the City that its price proposal included a price discrepancy resulting in ACE being unable to provide services based on the prior rate furnished to the City; and
WHEREAS, City staff revisited the proposal from Parking Company of America, LLC and determined that, with pricing and ability to provide safe and reliable transportation services for the City’s community shuttle, it is in the City’s best interest that the previous award to ACE be rescinded and the shuttle services agreement be awarded to PCAM instead; and
WHEREAS, City staff recommends entering into a shuttle operations services agreement with PCAM effective until June 30, 2025 and has negotiated a services agreement with Parking Company of America, LLC attached hereto as Exhibit A.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of South San Francisco that the City Council hereby awards the contract to and approves a shuttle services agreement, attached herewith and incorporated herein as Exhibit A, with Parking Company of America, LLC of Los Angeles, CA in an amount not to exceed $350,000, conditioned on the contractor’s timely execution of the shuttle services agreement and submission of all required documents, including but not limited to, certificates of insurance and endorsements, in accordance with the project documents.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the agreement in substantially the same form as Exhibit A and to execute any other related documents on behalf of the City upon timely submission by Parking Company of America, LLC a signed agreement and all other necessary documents, subject to approval as to form by the City Attorney.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager is hereby authorized to take any other required actions consistent with the intent of this resolution, that do not materially increase the City’s obligations.
