On December 16, 2011, OCTA allocated <br />$164,250 of Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 funds for this project which will provide <br />facilities for commuters to securely lock up and safely access their bicycles in the Civic Center and <br />Downtown areas. On December 3, 2012, the City Council approved a Cooperative Work <br />Agreement with OCTA to proceed with the project. <br />A Request for Proposals (RFP) was posted on the City website for a period of 15 days. One <br />proposal was submitted and evaluated by the Public Works Agency. Review criteria included <br />qualifications of the firm and the project team, capacity to perform the required work, review of <br />similar installations, references, and responsiveness to the RFP. Following the proposal review, <br />the fee schedule was examined and found to be under the project estimate. As a result, staff is <br />recommending that the firm of Acire, Inc., be retained for the required services in the not -to- exceed <br />amount of $200,622. The agreement will include a service component for maintenance, repair, <br />and management of facilities for a period of one year, with option for five one -year renewals. <br />25H -1 <br />
