Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into a contract change order to Maintenance Service Agreement 123686 with Scheidt & Bachmann, to increase the contract amount for increased fare collection system maintenance and services as part of expanded bus service provided through the Transportation 2050 (T2050) Plan. Further request authorization for the City Controller to disburse funds in the amount not to exceed $100,000 over the life of the contract.
Report
Summary
This contract was originally approved by City Council on July 2, 2007 for a period of up to 16 years to provide Life Cycle and Extended Maintenance service to the City of Phoenix fareboxes. City Council has approved funding for the initial eight-year contract term and the first of two four-year options available for this contract. This contract change order is necessary to increase the contract budget to reflect an increase in the number of fareboxes serviced by Scheidt & Bachmann. The City's fleet size has increased due to service expansion for local bus service as a direct result of the voter approved T2050 Plan. Correspondingly, the number of fareboxes must be increased from 485 to 505, which represents the Public Transit Department's anticipated fleet size.
Financial Impact
The total amount of this change order will not exceed $100,000, resulting in a total approved contract value of $27,982,750. Funds are available in the Public Transit Department current year and proposed 2018-19 operating budgets using T2050 funds.
