Renew the contract with SVM, LP for the purchase of prepaid gasoline cards

DISCUSSION
The Community Development Agency's Santa Ana WjOjRjK Center manages several
programs including Workforce Investment Act (WIA), Federal Empowerment Zone
(FEZ) and Special proj ects. Participant clients are offered supportive
services including gasol ine vouchers to find and retain employment. A
prepaid gasoline-only card program enables clients to purchase
competitively priced gasoline at their local neighborhood gas stations, as
opposed to a single station designated by the WjOjRjK Center. The prepaid
card program streamlines the current voucher system by eliminating the time
required to process the vendor invoices. Additionally, Personnel Service
Agency issues prepaid cards as awards on employee programs.
December 20, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to SVM, LP for a
one-year period, with provision for two, one-year renewals. The vendor has
performed satisfactorily during the past contract period and has agreed to
renew the contract with a 3.5 percent reduction in the administrative
costs. Staff recommends authorizing the final renewal of the contract.
