Public Works Agency www.santa-ana.org/public-works Item # 19 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Staff Report April 16, 2024 TOPIC: Site Sublicense Agreement For Bus Passenger Services AGENDA TITLE Site License Agreement with Pacific Coast Shuttles, LLC, dba Futura Bus Net, Inc to allow for Sublicense Agreement with Ohana Shuttles, LLC for Bus Passenger Services at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center RECOMMENDED ACTION Authorize the City Manager to amend the site license agreement with Pacific Coast Shuttles, LLC, dba Futura Bus Net, Inc., to allow for a sub -license agreement with Ohana Shuttles, LLC to compensate the City $1,500 per month for the rental of one bus bay for bus passenger services at the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center, for a one-year term beginning May 1, 2024 and ending April 30, 2025, with the option for three, one-year renewal periods (Agreement No. 2024-XXX). GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) is a regional transportation hub that brings together Amtrak, Metrolink, Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), and interstate bus services. It is open to the public seven days a week from 5:00 a.m. to midnight and contains approximately 35,000 square feet of total rental space, including ten bus bays. In October 2023, the City Council approved a site license agreement with Pacific Coast Shuttles, LLC authorizing the use of Bus Bay #8 to provide interstate bus services for a six-month term, with the option for four one-year renewals. Due to the positive outcome, the Licensee would like to sublicense this bay to their sister company, Ohana Shuttles, to address the high demand in Orange County and provide a higher level of service for their patrons. Ohana Shuttles, LLC began in 2022 and provides the same bus passenger services. Staff recommends amending the site license agreement with Pacific Coast Shuttles, LLC, to allow for a sublicense agreement with Ohana Shuttles, LLC to license one bus bay for a one-year period, with three one-year renewal options (Exhibit 1).
