The CDBG Program was established with the primary objective of developing
viable communities by creating suitable living environments, maintaining and
creating decent housing , and creating and maintaining job opportunities for
low-and moderate-income pE~rsons . In the past, the City has been limited to
its housing rehabilitation loan program and the City 's youth scholarship
program . Due to the City's need to reduce its CDBG funds balance, two out
of cycle ADA improvement projects (Project) were created.
City issued an RFP for the Project with a bid deadline of March 4 , 2014 . The
lowest bid received for the Project was f rom FS Construction . However, the
lowest bid was higher than the engineer's estimate . The City Council is
requested to increase the allocations for the Project utilizing the City's

TRANSIT, INC . FOR DIAL-A-RIDE (DAR) TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
FOR FISCAL YEARS (FY) 2014-17 REVISED 5-1-2014
The City is in the third year of a three-year agreement wit h First Transit to
provide DAR transportation services . Although the agreement allows for two
one-year extensions , with the ongoing concerns expressed from DAR
members the past two and a half years and the consultant's inabi lity to
effectively address dispatch and customer service concerns , staff felt it was in
the best interest of the City to solicit proposals for DAR services this year .
Parks and Recreation Director Burroughs gave a summary of the staff report .
Councilmember Sternquist commented that she was concerned that the City
did not discontinue the contract with c urrent Dial-A-Ride provider even with all
the issues and complaints from the riders . She asked if safeguards were put
in place so that the City does not repeat this experience again. Parks and
Recreation Director Burroughs responded that the City went through an
adjustment period with the new Dia l-A-R ide pro vide r and allowed t he
contractor opportunities to make corrections to address issues and concerns .
However, because the contractor was not able to resolve the differen t issues ,
staff decided to issue a Request for Proposal instead of renewing the co ntract.
Councilmember Yu asked how rider complaints were tracked . Parks and
Recreation Director Burroughs responded that staff keeps track of phone calls
by the riders and we get a copy of the phone logs from the Dial-A-Ride service
provider.
Jessie Roach , First Transit , expressed his regret that Fi rst T ra nsit was not able
to resolve issues brought up by the rid ers and City staff. He thanked t he City

does not leave the location without making an attempt to find the rider.

for contracting for an 8 passenger versus a 16 passenger van . Mr. Transue
responded that there may not necessarily be savings.
Mayor ProTem Chavez commented that when one services the public , it is not
possible to prevent complaints . He thanked First Transit for their effort to
provide good service .

agreement to include a monthly report from the contractor regarding rider
complaints and for contractor to meet with staff annually to review the services
provided.

in the agreement but staff will add the additional proposed language as exhibit
