Award Site License and Lease Agreements for Bus Passenger Services at the SARTC December 15, 2015 Page 2 The facility contains approximately 35,000 square feet of total rental space, including ten bus bays, of which four are licensed to OCTA and six are available for lease. This year, license agreements with two bus passenger service operators, previously operating out of SARTC, were terminated due to noncompliance with site lease agreement requirements. The termination of the site lease agreements left Greyhound as the only bus passenger service operator servicing SARTC. While bus ridership continues to increase, the demand has also risen for space for local commuter bus terminals. Since safety is of the utmost importance to SARTC patrons, the City conducted a search for reputable bus operators to lease the vacant bus bays. On August 19, 2015, the City released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for bus passenger transportation services at the SARTC to occupy the six vacant spaces. The RFP was advertised on the City's online bid management and publication systems, the Orange County Register, and the American Public Transportation Association website. City staff also directly notified 12 bus passenger service operators that expressed interest in leasing space at the SARTC. A summary of the proposal invitations and proposals received is as follows: 12 vendors notified 2 proposals received Proposals were received on October 26, 2015, and evaluated by staff from the Community Development and Public Works agencies, and the City of Anaheim. Evaluation results are as follows, based on a total possible rating of 100: NAME OF RESPONSIVE BIDDER AVERAGE LOCATION RATING Greyhound 90 Dallas, TX Tres Estrellas de Oro 70 Huntington Park, CA The evaluation committee determined that the proposals submitted by both Greyhound and Tres Estrellas de Oro were responsive to the RFP.
