Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to amend Contract 125318 with Transdev Services, Inc. (Transdev) at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport by adding maintenance, service and operation of six COBUS 3000 (COBUS) vehicles, which will be used to transport passengers between terminals and hardstand operations on the non-public secure side of the airport. The estimated annual cost for this additional work will not exceed $259,000 and does not increase the current annual cost under Contract 125318.
Report
Summary
The City contracts with Transdev to provide shuttle bus services to transport passengers to and from the Rental Car Center and between terminals. Transdev currently provides the day-to-day maintenance, service, and operations of the shuttle bus fleet, as well as stores, fuels, and cleans 84 City-owned buses used for the shuttle bus service.
This amendment will add the necessary maintenance and airfield operations to the six COBUS vehicles recently added to the fleet. The COBUS operation will be used to transport passengers between terminals and hardstand operations on the non-public secure side of the airport. Transdev will ensure COBUS drivers successfully pass the airport's Airfield Driving Program and follow designated routes while driving on the airfield. To ensure the mechanical integrity and the safe operation of the COBUS, the contractor will operate the six vehicles, an estimated but not limited to 14 hours per week including idle and exercise time. All other terms and conditions of Contract 125318 will remain the same.
Contract Term
This amendment will not change the current contract term which expires on June 30, 2022.
Financial Impact
No additional funds are requested and the estimated annual cost in the amount of $259,000 for COBUS vehicles is available in the original estimated annual $14.5 million for this contract.
