RE: Bus Circulator Operator Company for Opa-locka
Request:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF OPA-LOCKA, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO PIGGY BACK ON AN EXISTING PSA
CONTRACT NO. AND NEGOTIATE A PROFESSIONAL
SERVICES AGREEMENT, IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE
ATTACHED FORM, BETWEEN THE CITY OF OPA LOCKA
AND LIMOUSINES OF SOUTH FLORIDA, INC., FOR
COMMUNITY TRANSIT SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO
EXCEED ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND SEVEN
HUNDRED FORTY EIGHT DOLLARS ($150,748) PAYABLE
FROM ACCOUNT NO.44-541810
Description:
The City of Opa-locka secured funding through the Job Access Reverse Commute to operate a
proposed Bus Circulator. The system will comprise two routes: North Route and South route.
Through an inter-local agreement with the South Florida Transit Authority (SFRTA) which will
be managed the South route, the City is getting additional funding which is being leveraged by
PTP dollars to fully pay for the first two years of operation. The City intends to piggyback off an
existing agreement between the City of North Miami to procure the services of Limousine of
South Florida Inc. to operate the North route as a turn key service. This item will enable the
system to begin in early 2011 and will provide for the same vendor to operate both routes which
is most desirable.
Financial Impact:
The annual fees to operate the North route under this agreement will be $ 50,748. As stated
above the funding for this item is provided for in our annual budget under the Capital
Expenditures account No. 44-541810 and there is no adverse impact. To the contrary, this project
is expected to improve accessibility to transit routes and improve Opa-locka residents' quality of
life.
Re: Bus Circulator

Implementation Timeline:
The North and South routes of the Bus Circulator are anticipated to be placed in operation by
February 2011
Legislative History: N/A
Recommendation(s): Staff recommends approval.
Analysis:
Limousine of Florida Inc. is the premier bus operator in South Florida. In addition to operating bus
systems in Aventura, Miami Shores, Miami Lakes, City of North Miami, they operate most systems in
Broward and Palm Beach County. The South route will be operated by Limousine under an existing
agreement with SFRTA. Consequently, it becomes appropriate to utilize the same vendor for the North
route. The procurement is also in compliance with state competitive rules by using an already approved
municipal agreement from North Miami.
