Management Services ("TOMS") for the Collier Area Transit (“CAT”) system. On June 9, 2020, (Agenda Item

The Agreement allows the parties to mutually agree to extend the Agreement for two additional one-year renewal terms.

additional five months upon its anniversary date on April 30, 2025, and incorporate increased rates for the provision of
services during the extended renewal term.
Staff is currently finalizing the procurement of a new operations contract. This extension will provide sufficient time to
properly complete the procurement process and ensure uninterrupted service by having a new 23-8172 Collier Area
Transit Operations Management Services contract in place.
The following table provides the Board with a comparison of the proposed rates with the current contract rates for each
service. It also shows projected service data for the five-month extension, based on a budgeted 116,000 paratransit trips
and 73,000 fixed route revenue hours.

Months Proposed
Rate
Difference
TOMS (Administrative Cost) $922,778 $944,925 $22,147
Fixed Route $1,918,987.50 $1,974,954.17 $55,967
Cost per Revenue Hour $63.09 $64.93 $1.84

crucial for MV Transportation to maintain competitive wage levels to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of this vital
service while upholding the expected quality standards.
