Provision of service is guided by a five-year ILA between Capital Metro and Round Rock which reimburses Capital Metro for all services provided.
This amendment will modify the existing ILA to add additional funding to the existing ILA. The amendment increases the reimbursement to Capital Metro by $388,201 increasing the total amount reimbursed from $4,858,242 to $5,246,443.
The amendment also extends the term of the ILA to September 30, 2022, and includes minor changes to the Scope of Services, including revising the holiday schedule and updating contact information.
Round Rock City Council will consider approval on September 9, 2021.
DBE/SBE PARTICIPATION: Does not apply.
