Title
Amendment to Agreement with MV Transportation, Inc., for the OC ACCESS Service
Overview
On July 1, 2013, the Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors approved an agreement with MV Transportation, Inc., for the management and operation of OC ACCESS service, which was subsequently extended through June 30, 2021. On March 19, 2020, the Governor issued a stay-at-home order in response to the novel coronavirus, which resulted in a significant decrease in OC ACCESS ridership. Staff requests an extension of the existing agreement through December 31, 2021, to allow time for the Orange County Transportation Authority to evaluate the novel coronavirus impact on the OC ACCESS service and to provide prospective proposers sufficient time to review and respond to a request for proposals.
Recommendation(s)
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute Amendment No. 9 to Agreement No. C-2-1865 between the Orange County Transportation Authority and MV Transportation, Inc., in the amount of $24,377,535, to extend the term of the agreement for an additional six months to operate the OC ACCESS service through December 31, 2021. This will increase the maximum obligation amount of the agreement to $375,620,065.
