CITY OF SANTA ANA
AGREEMENT WITH COACH MAX CORP. FOR

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into on this 18th day of June, 2024 by and between
Coach Max Corp., a California corporation ("Contractor"), and the City of Santa Ana, a charter
city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State
of California ("City").
RECITALS
A. On March 19, 2024, the City issued Request for Proposal No. ("RFP") 24-027, by which
is sought qualified contractors to provide on -call charter bus services for the City's Parks
Recreation and Community Services Agency.
B. Contractor submitted a responsive proposal that was among those selected by the City.
Contractor represents that it is able and willing to provide the services described in the
scope of work that was included in RFP 24-027.
C. In undertaking the performance of this Agreement, Contractor represents that it is
knowledgeable in its field and that any services performed by Contractor under this
Agreement will be performed in compliance with such standards as may reasonably be
expected from a professional consulting firm in the field.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual and respective promises, and subject to the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
On an on -call basis, and at the City's sole discretion, Contractor shall perform the services
described in the scope of work that was included in REP 24-027, which is attached as Exhibit A,
and as more specifically delineated in Contractor's proposal, which is attached as Exhibit B and
incorporated in full.
2. COMPENSATION
a. City neither warrants nor guarantees any minimum or maximum compensation to
Contractor under this Agreement. Contractor shall be paid only for actual services
performed under this Agreement at the rates and charges identified in Exhibit B.
Contractor is one of two (2) contractors selected to provide charter bus services on an
on -call basis under RFP 24-027. The total compensation for these services provided
by all such contractors selected under RFP 24-027 shall not exceed the shared aggregate
amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($500,000) for the entire term
of this Agreement, including any extension periods exercised by the parties. The
annual aggregate amount, available to all selected Contractors, shall not exceed
$100,000.

#19793v7
b. Payment by City shall be made within forty-five (45) days following receipt of proper
invoice evidencing work performed, subject to City accounting procedures. City and
Contractor agree that all payments due and owing under this Agreement shall be made
through Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers. Contractor agrees to execute the
City's standard ACH Vendor Payment Authorization and provide required
documentation. Upon verification of the data provided, the City will be authorized to
deposit payments directly into Contractor's account(s) with financial institutions.
Payment need not be made for work which fails to meet the standards of performance
set forth in the Recitals which may reasonably be expected by City.
c. In the event that Contractor arrives more than fifteen (15) minutes late for the scheduled
pick-up time at the scheduled location, the Contractor shall pay to the City liquidated
damages in the amount of $100 for each fifteen (15) minutes of unexcused delay, at the
sole discretion of the Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services, up to a
maximum of Five Hundred Dollars and 00/100 ($500). These liquidated damages, if
any, shall be offset against the charge for Contractor's services invoiced for the day
Contractor was late. The parties acknowledge this liquidated damage amount
represents a reasonable estimate of the City's damages in the event of a delay,
considering the difficulty of proving such damages and the potential disruption to the
City's event(s).
3. TERM

independent Contractor and not an employee of the City. This Agreement is not intended nor shall
it be construed to create an employer -employee relationship, a joint venture relationship, or to
allow the City to exercise discretion or control over the professional manner in which Contractor
performs the services which are the subject matter of this Agreement; however, the services to be
provided by Contractor shall be provided in a manner consistent with all applicable standards and
regulations governing such services. Contractor shall pay all salaries and wages, employer's social
security taxes, unemployment insurance and similar taxes relating to employees and shall be
responsible for all applicable withholding taxes.

passengers & bus, and then immediately notify our dispatch office. Once
the severity of the accident is analyzed, we react appropriately by
contacting police and/or sending mechanics to repair any breakdowns.

Drivers
Driver Hiring, Training & Evaluation
All our drivers are first screened by our Safety Assistant to ensure they have
the proper DOT, DMV & license credentials, work experience, and attitude to
be able to be employed under our company. After screening, potential
candidates are to undergo a drug & alcohol test at a licensed testing facility.
Once cleared, drivers undergo a road test with our Safety Director. During
the road test, we test the driver's ability to complete pre -trip inspections,
familiarity with the vehicle, and operation of the vehicle through a fixed route.
Upon satisfactory passing & the driver is confirmed to be hired, they are
given an orientation by our Safety Team through company processes &
10
safety practices. All new drivers are diligently monitored by our team
throughout their first two weeks on duty.
Drug Testing Policy
As mentioned above, drivers undergo a drug & alcohol test at a local,
licensed facility before conducting their first drive -test. Once hired, drivers
are enrolled into our drug & alcohol testing program, of which our facility
conducts random drug & alcohol tests every year.
Preventive Maintenance Plan
All drivers are required to perform pre -trip inspections before leaving the fleet
yard, and post -trip inspections upon returning.
Every bus undergoes the required oil changes and 45-day inspections as
required by FMCSA/DOT and PUC regulations.
Any possible maintenance issues found during 45-day inspections are
immediately resolved upon by our licensed mechanics.
Compliance
Documentation and Maintenance Records
Each driver turns in their required pre -trip and post -trip inspection forms, as
well as work orders logging their miles and hours driven. Logs that are
required for longer trips are turned in as necessary. Every work order and
inspection form is reviewed by our safety team and then signed off by our
Safety Director.
Safety Team
All of our operations follow standard FMCSA/DOT & PUC transportation
regulations. Our Safety Director is a retired CHP Officer from the Commercial
Vehicles division who keep us informed of any new tour bus accidents within
California. Within 48 hours of an accident notice, we hold an Accident
Analysis Meeting to determine causes and how it could be prevented.
11
. We conduct Biweekly Safety Meetings where we discuss feedback from our
safety inspector who performs random inspections on our drivers and collects
performance data. Inspectors analyze whether drivers are following safety
regulations in accordance to DOT standards and are accounted for within an
internal point system.

CITY OF SANTA ANA
AGREEMENT WITH ELITE EXECUTIVE CHARTER LLC FOR
ON -CALL CHARTER BUS SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into on this 18th day of June, 2024 by and between Elite
Executive Charter LLC, a California limited liability company ("Contractor"), and the City of
Santa Ana, a charter city and municipal corporation organized and existing under the Constitution
and laws of the State of California ("City").
RECITALS
A. On March 19, 2024, the City issued Request for Proposal No. ("RFP") 24-027, by which
is sought qualified contractors to provide on -call charter bus services for the City's Parks
Recreation and Community Services Agency.
B. Contractor submitted a responsive proposal that was among those selected by the City.
Contractor represents that it is able and willing to provide the services described in the
scope of work that was included in RFP 24-027.
C. In undertaking the performance of this Agreement, Contractor represents that it is
knowledgeable in its field and that any services performed by Contractor under this
Agreement will be performed in compliance with such standards as may reasonably be
expected from a professional consulting firm in the field.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual and respective promises, and subject to the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
On an on -call basis, and at the City's sole discretion, Contractor shall perform the services
described in the scope of work that was included in RFP 24-027, which is attached as Exhibit A,
and as more specifically delineated in Contractor's proposal, which is attached as Exhibit B and
incorporated in full.
2. COMPENSATION
a. City neither warrants nor guarantees any minimum or maximum compensation to
Contractor under this Agreement. Contractor shall be paid only for actual services
performed under this Agreement at the rates and charges identified in Exhibit B.
Contractor is one of two (2) contractors selected to provide charter bus services on an
on -call basis under RFP 24-027. The total compensation for these services provided
by all such contractors selected under RFP 24-027 shall not exceed the shared aggregate
amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($500,000) for the entire term
of this Agreement, including any extension periods exercised by the parties. The
annual aggregate amount, available to all selected Contractors, shall not exceed
$100,000.
Page 1 of 10
#19793v7
b. Payment by City shall be made within forty-five (45) days following receipt of proper
invoice evidencing work performed, subject to City accounting procedures. City and
Contractor agree that all payments due and owing under this Agreement shall be made
through Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfers. Contractor agrees to execute the
City's standard ACH Vendor Payment Authorization and provide required
documentation. Upon verification of the data provided, the City will be authorized to
deposit payments directly into Contractor's account(s) with financial institutions.
Payment need not be made for work which fails to meet the standards of performance
set forth in the Recitals which may reasonably be expected by City.
c. In the event that Contractor arrives more than fifteen (15) minutes late for the scheduled
pick-up time at the scheduled location, the Contractor shall pay to the City liquidated
damages in the amount of $100 for each fifteen (15) minutes of unexcused delay, at the
sole discretion of the Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services, up to a
maximum of Five Hundred Dollars and 00/100 ($500). These liquidated damages, if
any, shall be offset against the charge for Contractor's services invoiced for the day
Contractor was late. The parties acknowledge this liquidated damage amount
represents a reasonable estimate of the City's damages in the event of a delay,
considering the difficulty of proving such damages and the potential disruption to the
City's event(s).
3. TERM
This Agreement shall commence on July 1, 2024 for a three (3) year term with the option
for the City to grant up to two (2) one-year renewals, exercisable by a writing by the City Manager
and the City Attorney, unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 15, below.
4. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Contractor shall, during the entire term of this Agreement, be construed to be an
independent Contractor and not an employee of the City. This Agreement is not intended nor shall
it be construed to create an employer -employee relationship, a joint venture relationship, or to
allow the City to exercise discretion or control over the professional manner in which Contractor
performs the services which are the subject matter of this Agreement; however, the services to be
provided by Contractor shall be provided in a manner consistent with all applicable standards and
regulations governing such services. Contractor shall pay all salaries and wages, employer's social
security taxes, unemployment insurance and similar taxes relating to employees and shall be
responsible for all applicable withholding taxes.
5. OWNERSHIP OF MATERIALS
This Agreement creates a non-exclusive and perpetual license for City to copy, use,
modify, reuse, or sublicense any and all copyrights, designs, and other intellectual property
embodied in plans, specifications, studies, drawings, estimates, and other documents or works of
authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, including but not limited to, physical

Dear Prospective Client,
Thank you for the opportunity to bid on this RFP. This letter is to give an insight into the standards and
practices that we have in place to ensure your safety and comfort while in our hands. We believe that in
order to ensure each trip is a total success there must be "a million things done right" but we strive for a
million and one! From the time you email or call to book your transportation until you are delivered to
your destination it is our belief that you will be treated to service and accommodations that are first
class and second to none.
We are growing at Elite with our contracted work and with that comes experience. Though we as a
company have been around for many years it has been more on the retail side. We started to expand
our shuttle services; and grew into the SPAB sector which has been very rewarding. We now are thriving
with our contracted districts and expanding as we grow.
I will dedicate my time and knowledge to making the needs of the City of Santa Ana a priority. I have
worked in charter transportation for close to 16 years. I come from the San Francisco Bay area where I
have implemented many commuter shuttle routes for large tech companies, airport shuttle routes that
run for 20 hours a day with multiple hotel pick-ups and intercampus shuttles for UCSF. My goal was to
bring my logistics management experience to Elite and help grow the company and we are succeeding in
regard to that challenge.
I have used many GPS platforms before and even used passenger ridership tracking software in the past.
Currently we have Azuga in all our buses.
Our fleet is well taken care of, and our charter buses are all 2018 or newer with impeccable
maintenance records.
We look forward to serving you. Please do not hesitate to give us a call should you have any questions
regarding the information herein.
Sincerely
Cenk Ozkay
