EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: The Capital Metro/CARTS partnership enables the provision of services that serve the larger region, including areas not currently in the Capital Metro service area or on the border of the Capital Metro service area.
BUSINESS CASE: Capital Metro receives transit services at a reasonable price under this agreement. CARTS already operates services in the rural areas surrounding Capital Metro's service area, making them a logical partner for providing services that extend beyond the Capital Metro service area.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item was presented and recommended for approval by the Operations, Planning and Safety Committee on September 15, 2021.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Capital Metro and CARTS partner to operate transit services within the region. The parties utilize a master interlocal agreement (ILA) for the purposes of outlining terms and conditions which apply to all services. Addenda to the agreement outline each of the services provided and the fees paid for that service.
This addendum (Amendment 4 to Supplement No. 9) allows for the provision of Limited Paratransit Service for the City of Georgetown. This service will be operated at a cost of $81.00 per vehicle hour, consistent with the other services operated under the Capital Metro/CARTS partnership. Approximately 4,782 service hours are projected for FY22.
The term of this Contracted Service Supplement will match the term of the lnterlocal Agreement with the City of Georgetown.
DBE/SBE PARTICIPATION: Does not apply.
PROCUREMENT: Chapter 791 of the State of Texas Government Code encourages governmental entities to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of local governments by authorizing them to contract, to the greatest possible extent, with one another. In doing so, local governments are permitted to forego the requirements of full and open competition and contract directly with one another.
