Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Renew the contract with JFK Transportation Company to provide transportation services for the <br />Senior Centers for a one-year period in an annual amount not to exceed $50,000. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency (PRCSA) provides a full scope of senior <br />services including: health and fitness classes, volunteer opportunities, medical and legal <br />consultations, home delivered and on-site meal programs. Additionally, PRCSA arranges daily <br />transportation services between the homes of seniors and the City's Senior Centers, daily <br />shopping trips and monthly excursions to local venues. The vehicles make approximately 2,000 <br />round trips a month and are specially designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities. <br />On July 6, 2009, the City Council awarded a contract to JFK Transportation Company for a one- <br />year period, with provisions for four one-year renewals. JFK Transportation Company, a Santa <br />Ana vendor, has performed satisfactorily during the past contract period; however the vendor has <br />requested a 20 percent increase after maintaining their rates for three years. Higher costs for fuel <br />and driver wages, including cost of living increases, have impacted the budget requiring this <br />increase. The Bureau of Labor Statistics verifies transportation costs have increased 20 percent <br />over the past three years. Staff recommends the third renewal of the contract. The annual <br />amount is based upon past usage and staff's projection for the next year. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Recreation (accounting unit <br />01113230-62300). <br />(?'
