Participant clients are <br />offered supportive services such as gasoline vouchers to find and <br />retain employment. A prepaid gasoline-only card program enables <br />clients to purchase competitively priced gasoline at their local <br />neighborhood gas stations, as opposed to a single station designated by <br />the W/O/R/K Center. The prepaid card program streamlines the current <br />voucher system by eliminating the time required to process the vendor <br />invoices. <br /> <br />On December 20, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to SVM, LP <br />for a one-year period, with provision for two one-year renewals. The <br />vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and <br />has agreed to renew the contract with a 70% reduction in the <br />administrative costs. The increased annual amount reflects changes in <br />fuel prices rather than an increase in usage. Staff recommends <br />authorizing the first renewal of the contract. <br /> <br />22C-1 <br /> <br />C.SJdJ <br />
