Gonzalez, City Manager • ao DATE: October 19, 2011 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION APPROVING ALL MATERIAL AND SUBSTANTIVE TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE HERTZ CORPORATION, AS THE SUCCESSFUL PROPOSER PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) 42- 07/08, FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION, MANAGEMENT, AND OPERATION OF A SHARED CAR SERVICE; FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE THE FINAL AGREEMENT; SAID AGREEMENT HAVING AN INITIAL TERM OF FIVE (5) YEARS, COMMENCING ON THE OPERATIONAL DATE AND ENDING FIVE (5) YEARS FROM THE OPERATIONAL DATE, WITH A FIVE (5) YEAR RENEWAL TERM, TO BE EXERCISED AT THE CITY'S SOLE OPTION AND DISCRETION. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS On September 10, 2008, the Mayor and City Commission approved the issuance of Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 42- 07/08, for a concession agreement for a shared -car program for residents and visitors of the City of Miami Beach, (the "RFP "). On December 10, 2008, the Mayor and Commission selected the Hertz Corporation (single respondent) as highest ranked proposer and directed the Administration to negotiate an agreement with Hertz for said service. The goal of the Miami Beach Shared -Car Service is to combine Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies and measures, which aim to reduce automobile travel demand, with support from a menu of alternative and multimodal transportation arrangements. TDM strategies include bicycling, walking, electronic substitute for travel such as telecommuting, and a variety of shared and public transportation strategies. Shared car programs provide a convenience for individuals who do not own or lease a private vehicle. Benefits to the City include reduced traffic congestion, improved air quality, and increased parking availability. It is anticipated that the shared car service would also be integrated with other alternative modes of transportation, such as transit and bicycle sharing programs, and may promote walking, since users can easily switch between these modes. The various travel modes will also be coordinated with the City's various parking facilities. A shared car service will contribute to the City's Commission Memorandum — Concession Agreement Pursuant to RFP#42 -07/08 For A Shared Car Service October 19, 2011 Page 2 effort to promote multi -modal transportation options, which will help to facilitate mobility throughout the City. The shared -car model is a membership based program which operates with a distributed fleet of private motor vehicles parked at varying reserved locations, initially at our municipal parking garages, and if successful at other locations throughout the City. Shared -Cars are made available to members primarily for hourly or other short term use through a self - service, fully automated system not requiring a separate contract for each use. The operation generally is to take pods of cars and place them at the City's parking garages so the user can walk from their home, condominium, or business to get the car, use it and bring it back. The Shared Car concept differs from a traditional car rental program in that its member based so that users are pre - qualified and cars are used only for trips to and from the same location. Hertz on Demand is a subsidiary and the shared car provider of the Hertz Corporation. Therefore, Hertz on Demand is an entity that is separate and apart of the Hertz Corporation conventional rental car service. It is important to note that they are not competing services as their rental and rate structures are markedly different as is the intended user base. The Hertz on Demand Service is separate from the conventional Hertz rental car program and the two programs do not intermingle and are not allowed to do so under the City's concession agreement. All financial matters between the two entities are managed separately RFP PROCESS RFP No. 42 -07/08 was issued on September 11, 2008, with an opening date of October 14, 2008. The City issued bid notices to 390 prospective Proposers via e-mail, BidSync, and /or Bidnet, which resulted in the receipt of proposals from one proposer, The Hertz Corporation. At its regular meeting on December 10, 2008, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2008 -26957 authorizing the City Administration to enter into negotiations with The Hertz Corporation for an agreement to manage and operate a shared car service. COMMITTEE ENDORSEMENTS The City's Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCPC) reviewed and discussed the Shared Car Agreement with Hertz on June 25, 2009 and October 29, 2009. At the June 25 meeting, the FCPC directed the Administration to: (1) further negotiate an improvement to the financial return to the City, which at the time was $107,825, over a five year term and (2) Hertz was directed to pursue potential shared car locations at privately owned and /or operated parking garages in the City. The Administration followed the FCPC directives and negotiated the following: • Hertz initially proposed that the parking spaces contemplated for Shared Car use in the City's garages be placed on the ground level in high traffic areas. In order to minimize the loss of parking revenues, the City countered that using less utilized spaces (such as rooftop or one level below) would help close the potential parking revenue loss gap projected by the City. Hertz agreed to utilize the parking spaces at the rooftop or one level below the rooftop for the Shared Car Program at all City garages. The revenue generated from parking spaces that are lower in demand and /or utilization on the upper parking levels is closer to the revenue generated by City monthly parking rates of $70. Therefore, the negotiated baseline for Hertz' financial return to the City is based on the monthly parking rate of $75 per space Commission Memorandum — Concession Agreement Pursuant to RFP#42 -07/08 For A Shared Car Service October 19, 2011 Page 3 and Hertz will pay to the City an average annual commission of 0.45% over the five year term (0% in Year One; 0% in Year Two; 0.5% in Year Three; 0.75% in Year Four; and 1% in Year Five). This equates to an additional $18,840 over the five year term for a total of $175,740. The FCPC held extensive discussions regarding the City's subsidy to provide the Shared Car Service. This subsidy was substantially mitigated when Hertz agreed to use the parking spaces at the rooftop or one level below as opposed to their initial position of utilizing ground floor high use parking spaces. Typically, the municipal garages contemplated for the shared car program only reach capacity during a handful of major events throughout the year with the exception of the 7 Street Garage which may reach capacity slightly more often than the balance of the system. The recovery of lost revenue is substantially mitigated by Hertz' $75 monthly payment per space. The potential revenue loss is the gap between the monthly rate and the transient revenue these rooftop parking spaces would generate when the garage is at capacity. Unfortunately, this difference in revenue is difficult to project; however, it was deemed as an acceptable level of subsidy for the City to proceed with the shared car program. It is important to note that the attached Agreement contains provisions for the City to terminate the Concession Agreement for various reasons, including for convenience. • Pursuant to the second directive from the FCPC to have Hertz pursue negotiations with private parking garage owners /operators to provide a Shared Car Program, the Administration provided Hertz with contact information for the private parking garage owners/ and /or operators on Miami Beach. Hertz has indicated that they have had conversations with various private operators; however, there have been no firm commitments to date. On October 27, 2009, the City's Sustainability Committee endorsed the Shared Car Agreement with the Hertz Corporation; and on October 29, 2009, the FCPC endorsed the Shared Car Agreement, including the above stated revised financial return to the City; and on November 2, 2009, the City's Transportation and Parking Committee (TPC) endorsed the Shared Car Agreement with the Hertz Corporation.
