The company selected through this RFP <br />process closed their business as of April 2016. Although there has been a decline in request for <br />taxi cab services given alternative modes of transportation, taxicab services continue to be a <br />requested service by commuters and patrons of SARTC. This required the City to release a <br />second RFP to secure a new taxicab provider to service SARTC. <br />An RFP was released on June 22, 2016, to solicit bids for a new contract. The RFP was <br />advertised on the City's Planetbids online bid board. Staff also contacted Orange County Taxi <br />Administration Program ( OCTAP), which is an association of Orange County cities and the <br />County of Orange, created to coordinate taxicab service, oversee permitting, and provide other <br />administrative functions. All taxicab companies registered with OCTAP were also notified of the <br />RFP. Below is a summary of the proposals solicited and those received: <br />23 Taxicab Companies were notified via email <br />2 Santa Ana vendors were notified via email <br />1 Proposal received <br />1 Proposal received from a Santa Ana vendor <br />25E -1 <br />
