This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into Contract Change Order No. 3 to an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City of Phoenix, Contract No. C-8976, for the continued operation of fixed-route local bus service in the City of Glendale, in the amount of $4,062,026.
Background
The City of Phoenix operates local bus service throughout the urban area through contracts with local municipalities, including Glendale. Prior to the start of each fiscal year, Phoenix will estimate the gross cost of the service provided minus the fare revenues, based on the estimated number of miles driven within Glendale. For Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18, the City of Phoenix is estimating a gross cost of $5,140,085 with estimated fare revenues of $1,078,059. The City of Glendale will pay the resulting net cost of $4,062,026 through funding provided by the Glendale On Board (GO) Transportation Program. This is a 6.4% increase over the estimated cost for FY 2016-17.
Analysis
Upon Council approval of this contract change order, the City of Phoenix will continue to provide weekday, Saturday, and Sunday/Holiday fixed route service without interruption for the City of Glendale for the period July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018.
