Additionally, PRCSA arranges daily transportation <br />services between Senior's homes and the City's Senior Centers, including <br />daily shopping trips and monthly excursions to local venues. The vehicles <br />make approximately 2,000 round trips a month and are specially designed to <br />accommodate individuals with disabilities. <br /> <br />On June 7, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to JFK Transportation, <br />a Santa Ana vendor, for a two-year period with provision for three, one- <br />year renewals. The vendor has agreed to renew the contract with a 15 <br />percent price increase, due to the rising costs of fuel and insurance. <br />Staff verified that the increase is consistent with the market and the <br />vendor continues to offer a competitive price for the service. Staff <br />recommends the final renewal of the contract. <br /> <br />220-1 <br />
