Callippe Preserve Golf Course provides golf to the public through an Operator Agreement with the City. Attachment 1 is a sample Operator Agreement for PPS and Attachment 2 is a draft scope of services. The scope of services is a document that clearly identifies topics such as performance standards, responsibilities, systems to be used, vehicle maintenance, provisions for emergency services and more. To explore the contract for services option, staff initially consulted with the City of Fremont as they shifted to a contract for services model for their senior citizen transportation program in 2015/2016. Staff also considered options in consultation with Nelson Nygaard, the transportation consulting firm that facilitated the Mobility Forward: Tri-Valley Paratransit Study. After additional research, and to further test the market, City staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for an entity to provide transportation services on behalf of PPS. Through this RFQ process, four entities responded, indicating a competitive market for this service. This process also allowed staff to develop preliminary cost estimates. One goal of the Mobility Forward: Tri-Valley Paratransit Study was to increase PPS efficiency and, in doing so, reduce the General Fund subsidy, of approximately $370,000 per fiscal year. Contracting for PPS through a multi-year agreement, with an experienced and well qualified transportation service provider, increases efficiency and could potentially reduce the General Fund subsidy to just over $200,000 a year, an approximate $170,000 reduction to General Fund spending per year, based upon a three year average. The table below shows recent average PPS program expenditures and General Fund subsidies. Fiscal year 2019* is not factored in the six-year average because a permanent position allocated to the PPS program was left vacant, and not budgeted due to a retirement. Fiscal Year PPS Expenditure General Fund Subsidy 2014 $668,443 $413,275 2015 $620,001 $386,713 2016 $647,326 $354,359 2017 $647,029 $339,725 2018 $724,243 $358,997 2019* $467,779 $186,928 Average —$661,500 $370,500 Contracting with a transportation service provider and factoring in some continued City expenses, such as fuel and fleet maintenance, could reduce the three-year average estimated expenditures to $547,000. Even with a contract for services model, the paratransit program would continue to be financially supported with funds from ACTC Measure B and BB, MTC TDA 4.5 and a reduced subsidy from the General Fund. The following table shows estimated program expenditures and General Fund subsidies with a three-year contract for transportation service model. Page 3 of 4
