CITY MANAGER 13a.0030.$0 PROF. SVCS. Since the beginning of the City's dial-a-ride (Arcadia Transit) system 24 years ago, the AGREEMENT City has maintained a contractual relationship with one agency, San Gabriel Transit, (Arcadia Transit Inc. For the past several years significant changes in the public transit industry have System - occurred. Most significantly, however, is a recent change in federal guidelines by the 7-1-99 thru Federal Transit Administration (FTA) stipulating that agencies receiving federal (~;~i~~0~ED assistance are required to formally bid all public transit contracts at intervals no greater TO 6-1-99) than five (5) years. The City receives federal capital assistance on an annual basis. As a result of Federal Transit Administration (FT A) regulations the Development Services Department solicited proposals from five (5) local and national contract public transit providers. Based on preliminary evaluations and interviews with each firm, staff and the evaluation panel, which was comprised of a staff member and representatives from the MT A and the City of Glendale, selected R & D Transportation Services LLC, as the firm most qualified to operate the Arcadia Transit System. Considerable discussion ensued on the benefits of contracting with R ,& D Transportation Services including cost, contract terms and operating hours. Mayor Chandler announced that Council would allow time for persons in the audience to address the City Council on the Arcadia Transit issue. Mayor Chandler acknowledged receipt of a letter from the Law Offices of Michael B. Montgomery, representing San Gabriel Transit, whiCh stated that San Gabriel Transit is, in fact, the low bidder. I I Scott Schaffer, San Gabriel Transit, stated, in part, that San Gabriel Transit is the lowest bidder for this contract. Mr. Schaffer noted that there are some issues which will affect the cost; allocation of cost; reservations; the clerks and dispatchers. He felt there was a clear disparity in the panel's evaluation and ranking of the proposal submitted by San Gabriel Transit. The point system, in particular was questionable. He believes the other contractors cannot provide the highest level of seNice with $30,000-40,000 annually less than that which San Gabriel Transit is proposing. Mr. Schaffer suggested that all the bids be rejected. Further, that staff review all the proposed bids once again I and decide what is reasonable and fair. He noted that San Gabriel Transit is a demand response operator and is the largest provider of ADA services in Los Angeles County, 6 5/18/99 41:0117 providing over 140,000 trips for 24 years. I Dave Dalev, past owner and General Manager, R & D Transportation Services, stated, in part, that one of the reasons City staff is recommending his firm is because their proposal was not prepared by consultants. The Managers and R & D staff went over the proposal and are prepared to perform the highest level of service. He felt this is one of the reasons that R & D Transportation Inc. scored well, they interviewed well, they wrote the proposal, they know what is in it and they are prepared to keep those promises, according to Mr. Daley. Mr. Daley, responding to a question from Council stated, in part, {hat R & D Transportation Service has been an operations company since September 1997. They have operated a system similar to Arcadia Transit since that time. Duke Perrin, Partner, San Gabriel Transit, explained in detail the operations of San Gabriel Transit which is one of four comparative systems in Southern California providing a pure "demand response" operation as well as general public, disabled, elderly, advance notice and subscription trips. Mr. Perrin noted staff recommended a company with less service experience over a proven company with 24 years of experience operating a very difficult "on demand" service. He sees many inconsistencies in the R & D proposal. He suggested that City Council re-start the bidding process and change the way the RFP was written. I Dick Dootson, 53 Woodland Lane, Bradbury, urged the City Council to re-bid the transportation contract and give Dootson Transit Services the opportunity to review the R & D Transportation Services proposal. Mr. Dootson believes his company can save the City some money. Michael MontQomerv, EI Monte Attorney, stated, in part, that a transportation contract must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder in the same manner as any other public works contract. He noted that San Gabriel Transit did agree to move its dispatch to Arcadia, it would be more expensive than the current dispatch but if that is what the City wants they are willing to do that. He requested that Council either re-new the contract with San Gabriel Transit as the lowest responsive bidder, and the only company that bid strictly the RFP elements, or in the alternative, reject all bids and re- bid the contract. Staff explained in detail the evaluation process, ranking, contract standards and cost factors, stating, in part, that currently R & D Transportation Services is the only service provider offering advanced technology automated dispatching to its clients and employs some of the most qualified management personnel in the pubiic transit industry. In response to Councils question in regard to fuel cost staff stated, in part, that R & D Transportation Services has an on-site fuel tank so they do not have to pay retail price. In part, staff further reported the difference in cost between R & D and the San Gabriel Transit bid was $115,000 over five years. Councilmember Roncelli noted with the difference in fuel, if the calculations happen to be incorrect is $100,000 right there. Council member Kovacic thanked staff for their analysis. He felt it might be a better opportunity for the City to capture a more beneficial deal, if the City Council decided to re-start the bidding process for the Arcadia transportation service. I Councilmember Marshall agreed with Mr. Kovacic's comment, stating, in part, that there is a great area of confusion on the bidding and results of the process. She felt that San Gabriel Transit deserves better consideration after serving the City for 24 years. She also stated she has not heard any complaints about the City's dial-a-ride system. 7 5/18/99 13b. GLENDALE, PASADENA & BURBANK DISPATCH SERVICES (Verdugo Cities) (APPROVED) Ot{V,) ~ -!t) I()fl.' .~/O 41:0118 Mayor Pro tem Harbicht commented that Arcadia has had one of the best dial-a-ride services for 24 years, but part of that is because the City spends a lot of money on it. I By looking at both R & D and San Gabriel Transit proposals the cost is essentially the same yet examination of all other aspects of the proposal end up with a 20 percent difference in the score. That is a very substantial difference which has to be based on real factors that were considered. Mr. Harbicht is in favor of awarding the contract to R & D Transportation Services based on the best available evidence of the facts. Council member Roncelli commented that he believes in experience and history. San Gabriel Transit has been with the City for 24 years and has been a loyal vendor during difficult financial times. Mr. Roncelli is in favor of re-bidding the contract. Mayor Chandler noted that he is in favor of awarding the Professional Service Contract to R & D Transportation Services. It was MOVED by Council member Marshall, seconded by Council member Kovacic to reject all the bids and start the bidding process over (MOTION WITHDRAWN). City Manager Kelly stated, in part, that this is a Professional Services Agreement. If this motion moves, the City Council is not asking for a bid but suggesting that,the staff re-distribute a request for proposal. We have different companies, different approaches, different costs and formulas. The City is asking for a level of service and we need to be aware of how they will provide that service but we cannot micro-manage and run their business for them. City Attomey Miller recommended a language change to reject all the proposals and go out for new proposals. Considerable discussion ensued. City Manager Kelly suggested that Council postpone the bidding process and request staff to prepare a report comparing San Gabriel Transit and R & D Transportation Service for Council information and consideration. It was MOVED by Council member Marshall, seconded by Councilmember Kovacic and CARRIED on roll call vote as follows to DIRECT staff to prepare a matrix comparing the various components of the bids form both San Gabriel Transit and R & D Transportation Service for Council consideration at the June 1, 1999 meeting. AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Councilmembers Kovacic, Marshall, Roncelli and Chandler Councilmember Harbicht None The Fire Department currently provides police, fire and emergency medical dispatching services for Arcadia, and, fire dispatching services for the City of Monrovia. To enhance existing dispatch services by improved technology and more cost efficient systems, staff proposed the Fire Department contract for dispatch services from the Verdugo Fire Communications Center in Glendale. The Center is equipped with a state-of-the-art computer aided dispatch system and professional dispatchers who handled about 38,000 calls last year. Once the transition to Verdugo is completed, 9-1-1 emergency calls will continue to be answered by Arcadia dispatchers. A police dispatcher will answer the call, speed forward to Verdugo if it is a fire or medical call. Verdugo will then dispatch the appropriate units. All of the existing Arcadia dispatchers will be offered the opportunity 8 5/18/99 I I I I I 41:0119 to continue dispatching for the City. The May 18, 1999 staff report described in detail the fiscal impact, the annual contract cost and capital expenditures that are required to complete the Verdugo transaction. It was MOVED by Councilmember Roncelli, seconded by Councilmember Marshall to AUTHORIZE the City Manager to enter into a contract with the cities of Glendale, Pasadena and Burbank (Verdugo Cities) in the amount of $144,135.00 for fire dispatch services and APPROPRIATE $128,769.00 from the Equipment Replacement Fund for capital expenditures; subject to review and approval of the City Attorney.

GlaIO..<" STATUS City Manager Kelly presented an update on the status of the cable television franchise REPORT given recent requests by TCIIA TT to transfer control to two new entities. (City of Arcadia's Cable Television Franchise) (RECEIVE & FILE) On December 10, 1997, Century and TCI Communications, Inc. (TCI) signed a letter of intent to establish a strategic partnership. TCI and Century will contribute to the Partnership all the assets related to the businesses of certain cable television systems. Century and TCI have agreed to exchange cable systems owned by Century in certain communities in Northern California for certain cable systems owned by TCI in Southern California, allowing each of them to unify operations in existing service areas. Concurrenlly with this exchange, Century has entered into an agreement whereby it will be acquired by Adelphia Communications Corporation. Adelphia has formed Adelphia Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc. to merge with Century, and Adelphia will own the subsidiary. Century stockholders will receive cash and stock in Adelphia for their stock in Century. Century states in Form 394 that "the current franchisee... will continue to own and operate the system..." Also there are no current plans to change any1hing relating to the Arcadia system. Therefore, this transaction should have no immediate impact upon Arcadia. Under the City's cable television franchise, Section 11 - "Assignment or Transfer or sale of Franchise", states: a) There shall be no assignment of a Franchise, in whole or in part, or change in Control without the prior express written approval of the City. For purposes of this section assignment shall mean "change of control or composition of authority" or "change of controlling interest." Any transfer of change in Control without such prior written consent in Arcadia shall constitute default of the Franchise which will cause the Franchise to terminate. John Risk, Communications Support Group, highlighted the information related to the merger. Mr. Risk also stated, in part, that with the new transaction there will be a complete name change, from Cablevision to Century Cable and to Adelphia later on. The 1992 Cable Act and the associated FCC rules provide a municipality with 120 days to act on an application for consent to a transfer, otherwise the transfer is automatically deemed approved. The 120-day deadline for CenturylTCI runs to June 15, 1999, and for CenturylAdelphia to August 26, 1999. In response to Council Mr. Risk stated, in part, so far TCI and Century have been non- responsive to the City's repeated requests for information. The City's approval of the change of control from TCI to A TT was conditioned on the successful compliance with 9 5/18/99 14. 14a.

I In the case that TCllCentury continues to delay information requested by the City Manager and the City's consultant or if the parties cannot mutually agree to an extension of time prior to June 15, 1999, the City Council at the June 1, 1999 meeting will authorize the City Manager to deny without prejudice, approval of the transfer. It was MOVED by Council member Kovacic, seconded by Councilmember Roncelli to RECEIVE and FILE the report regarding an update on the City of Arcadia's Cable Television Franchise; and, DIRECT staff to prepare a resolution for presentation to the Council at the June 1, 1999 meeting.
