MEMORANDUM Jun e 6 , 2017 The Honorable City Co uncil Bryan Cook , City Manager By : Cathy Burroughs , Directo r of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF SECOND AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHLAND TRANSIT, INC . FOR DIAL -A-RIDE TRANSPORATION SERVICES RECOMMENDATION: The City Council is requ ested to approve th e Second Amendme nt to th e Agreement to Provid e Services with Southland Transit, In c . (ST I) for D ial -A-Ride (DAR) transportation se rvic es (Atta ch me nt "A") and authori ze th e City Manager to execute the Amendment. BACKGROUND: 1. On May 6 , 201 4 , the City Council approved a thre e-year Agreement (Agreement) with STI to prov ide DAR transportation services through June 30 , 2017 . The Agreement al lows for an additional two years , at o ne-year intervals , upon mutual agreement by both parties . 2. On August 4 , 2015 , th e C ity Council approved the Frist Amendment to the Agreement to provide DAR tran spo rtati o n services with STI to cov er th e add itional costs assoc iated w ith exte nding th e hours of o pera t ion of th e Cit y's DAR tran spo rtation program on Saturdays and Sundays as recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission . 3. On February 16 , 2017 , ST I provided a quote to th e City for DAR transportation serv ices for Fi sca l Year (FY) 20 17-18 . ANALYSIS: Th e Ci ty is in th e third year of a three-year Agreement w ith STI to prov ide DAR transportation se rvices . Section I -T erm of Agree ment specifies that t he scope of se rvi ces shall be co mpl eted pursuant to th e schedule specified in Exhibit "A" -Scope of Se rvice s . City Council June 6, 2017 Page 2 of 2 Exhibit "A" states that the Service Provider shall perform the services for a th ree-year term starting July 1, 2014 through June 30 , 2017 . Exhibit "A " further states that , upon mutual agreement by both parties , the Agreement may be extended for an additiona l two yea rs at one-year interva ls . Staff recommends extending the term of the Agreeme nt for an add iti ona l year at a cost not to exceed $480 ,923. The quote from STI for FY 2017-18 is approximately 5% higher tha n the cost for FY 2016-17 . 1.8 % of the increase is based on the COLA , the rema inder is due to upcoming in c reases in the min imum wage . Californ ia 's min imum wage will increa se from $1 0 .50/hour to $11 per hour on January 1, 2018 . The City of Los Ange les ' minimum wage will in crease to $12/hour on July 1, 2017 . Because STI provides transportation services throug hout Southern Cal ifornia, including within t he Ci ty of Los Angeles , they pay their workers the higher of th e mi nimum wages . Since STI has take n over operatio ns of the City's DAR program , complaints have substantially decreased . Between July 1 and Decem ber 31 , 2016 on ly one complaint was received by staff and /or STI. STI is providing quality service to the commun ity and has expressed an interest in continuing to do so at a reasonable cost. CITY STRATEGIC GOALS: Approval of the Second Amendment to the Agreement with STI w ill further the City 's Strategic Goals of Good Governance and Q uality of Life. FISCAL IMPACT : Approval of this ite m is not expected to have an impact on the proposed FY 2017-18 budget. Sufficient funds have been pro posed to cover t his expense . ATTACHMENT: A.
