EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 1688
October 28, 2008
Page 1 of 44
Recommendation for the Board of County Commissioners to approve a second amendment
to the September 27, 2005, Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into between McDonald
Transit Associates, Inc. and Collier County, which provides for consolidated management
for the Collier Area Transit and Paratransit Systems, to amend the Agreement to
incorporate new compensation rates for the final two years of the Agreement that were
negotiated during mediation between the parties on October 7, 2008.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval from the Board of County Commissioners for a second
amendment to the "Agreement" with McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. ("Contractor") to amend
the Agreement to incorporate new compensation rates for the final two years of the Agreement
that were negotiated during mediation between the parties on October 7, 2008.
CONSIDERA TIONS: On September 23, 2008, the Board approved a First Amendment to the
Agreement to allow the Contractor and the County an opportunity to mediate the rate of
compensation for the two remaining fiscal years of the Agreement. As explained to the Board
when the First Amendment was considered, the Agreement specified a rate of compensation for
years one through three and stated that the compensation for years four and five was to be
negotiated during year three of the Agreement. The First Amendment approved by the Board
provided the parties an opportunity to reach an agreed rate of compensation rather than reverting
to the default compensation provisions where the Contractor would be paid at the same rate of
compensation it received in the third Agreement year, as adjusted on a monthly basis by any
change in the Consumer Price Index (the "CPI rate of compensation").
On October 7, 2008, the parties successfully negotiated the rate of compensation for the
remaining two years of the Agreement. Following mediation, the parties entered into a
document memorializing the new terms identified as "Amendment to Agreement," which is
attached hereto as Exhibit "A." If the Board approves this Amendment to Agreement it will
need to be executed by the Chairman, as well.
The rate of compensation agreed upon in the Amendment to Agreement for the two respective
remaining years represents an overall savings to the County from the rate of compensation paid
during fiscal year 2007-08. Additionally, the non-compensation related terms identified in the
Amendment to Agreement also ref1ect a desired improvement as to the management, oversight,
and operation of the consolidated transit services. Those new provisions include:
. Bringing the grants management function in-house and requiring the Contractor to
provide more timely responses to reasonable requests for data and information;
. Appointing a new manager to operate the Collier Area Transit and para-transit services;
....,-....,
. Agreeing to renegotiate the remaining terms (the remaining non-compensation terms not
addressed in the Amendment to Agreement) of the Agreement within 60 days to address
any remaining issues discussed by the Contractor and the County during mediation that
are unresolved. Most of those issues center on providing further clarification to desired
performance standards and other areas of mutual interest.

. Pag~ 2 of 44
On Friday, October 10, 2008, the County was notified that the Contractor's corporate Board of
Directors approved the Amendment to Agreement. Therefore, this matter is ripe for review and
consideration by the Collier County Board of Commissioners.
FISCAL IMP ACT: The recommended revenue hour rates and associated provisions in the
mediated settlement are consistent with the previously approved Fiscal Year 2009 budget
assuming state block grants are awarded as expected.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved by the County Attorney's Office
and is legally sufficient for Board action.-SRT.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item does not impact or conflict with the
Growth Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the Amendment
to Agreement and authorizes the Chairman to sign the Amendment on behalf ofthe Board.

3.3 The estimated costs for the first three contract years, set forth in

changes. Compensation for the remaining portion of the fourth and subsequent

yeOf oUhis ..\g-r~emeBt by the parties, and shall be based upon Contractor's actual
costs, with a 2.5% fixed profit. Should the parties fail to reach agreement for year

issue in accordance with COWlty'S then-current mediation policy, with each side
paying half of the costs of mediation. Should the parties fail to reach a mediated
settlement bv October 31. 2008, then for the remaining (we years term of this

of service it provided during the third Agreement year, at the same level of
compensation provided by the contract it reeeived in the third Agreement year,
as adjusted on a monthly basis thereafter by any change in the Consumer Price
Index (An Urb'illl Consumers, U.S. City Average, All Items, Not Seasonally

promptly upon receipt of a proper invoice and in compliance with Section 218.70
F.S., otherwise known as the "Florida Prompt Payment Act"
