Attachment 2 The CONTRACTOR shall keep all dispatch logs for the duration of the contract and for 12 months thereafter. XII. VEHICLE DEPLOYMENT The CONTRACTOR will schedule driver shifts and vehicles to ensure that the optimum number of vehicles is used to both maximize productivity and minimize service costs. The CITY's Paratransit Contract Manager will work in coordination with the CONTRACTOR's Project Manager to determine the optimum number of vehicles that will be utilized for service,based on the financial resources available and trip demand. This must be done in such a manner that meets the standards provided in this document. The CONTRACTOR must accommodate both ambulatory and non-ambulatory program participants. Additionally, CONTRACTOR will have back-up drivers available in the event that regularly scheduled drivers are not available for their routes. XIII. VEHICLE MAINTENANCE The CONTRACTOR is responsible for the operational maintenance, fuel expense, storage, and repair of all of the vehicles used to provide services under the AGREEMENT. In cases of emergency, general public taxi or limousine service may be used to provide paratransit services with notification to the CITY in writing or by phone. Each vehicle utilized for the delivery of services under the AGREEMENT shall undergo a daily vehicle pre-trip and post-trip inspection, using standardized inspection protocol. In order for vehicles to be road ready, they must pass the pre-trip inspection. CONTRACTOR will record daily pre and post-trip inspections and keep records during the term of the AGREEMENT. The CITY agrees to lease at the cost of $1.00 per year per vehicle sufficient lift-equipped vehicles (both active service and back-up vehicles) to service the AGREEMENT. All vehicles shall meet the requirements set forth by the California Air Resources Board. Vehicles shall have proper tie- down equipment to safely secure passengers who use wheelchairs as well as working seat belts for ambulatory passengers. The CONTRACTOR will inspect, and cycle wheelchair lifts daily and at preventive maintenance intervals to ensure that lifts are in good working condition at all times. CONTRACTOR will pull vehicle from service if lift fails during daily inspection or while in service. CONTRACTOR will repair non-operable lifts and ensure that vehicles are not returned to service until the lift is properly functioning. Should the cost to repair a non-operable lift be excessive as determined by either party, a meet and confer will take place. Prior to daily operartions, CITY expectations are that CONTRACTOR will prepare vehicles used for this service to be clean and maintained in order to provide a safe and professional environment for passengers. 14 I Page
