RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contract with Western Transit Systems, Inc. to provide
transportation services for the Senior Centers for a seven-month period
in an amount not to exceed $20,000.
DISCUSSION
The Recreation and Community Services Agency utilizes round-trip
transportation services for the City's senior residents between their
homes and the City's two Senior Centers. The vehicles are specially
designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities.
On December 4, 2000, the City Council awarded a contract to Western
Transit Systems, Inc. for a two-year period, with provision for two one-
year renewals. Western Transit Systems, Inc. continues to maintain the
lowest prices available, although requesting a price increase of three
and a half percent. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during the
past contract period, and staff recommends the final renewal of the
contract for seven months, in order to provide transportation services
while new contract specifications are developed.
