Item Summa /Recommendation:
At the December 11,2013 City Commission meeting,the Administration was directed to develop a plan to mitigate the
financial loss being experienced by business owners on Alton Road and West Avenue due to the roadway
construction. One of the actions identified at the Commission meeting was the immediate implementation of a transit
circulator loop along Alton Road and West Avenue in an effort to help mitigate the loss of parking, improve mobility,
and promote economic development along the corridors. Since the Commission meeting, staff has identified transit
providers (First Transit, MV Transportation Inc., and Keolis)which currently operate transit circulator service for local
municipalities.
To expedite the procurement of the service, staff requested copies of current full-turnkey contracts with government
agencies from First Transit and MV Transportation, Inc. in order to identify an available and competitively-bid contract
suitable for a "piggy-back". No provider was able to produce a suitable full-turnkey contract for similar circulator
services with other government agencies. Of the operators contacted by City staff, MV Transportation, Inc. was the
most responsive. City staff developed a term sheet for a full-turnkey transit service along Alton Road and West
Avenue corridors on an emergency basis(Attachment B)and provided same to MV Transportation, Inc. on December
31, 2013. On January 2, 2014, MV Transportation, Inc. engaged an emergency run-cutter(transit operation expert)to
conduct travel time runs with City staff.
Following the analysis by the run-cutter, MV Transportation, Inc. submitted a price proposal for the Alton Road-West
Avenue circulator loop using two (2) cutaway vehicles as shown in Attachment E. The hourly cost (including capital,
drivers, fuel, operation and maintenance costs) for the Alton Road-West Avenue turnkey circulator service is $58.44
for the first year of service and $57.25 for the following year for a term of eighteen (18) months. At this hourly rate,
and based on the number of annual operating hours (11,680 based on 2 vehicles operating 16 hours/day), the Alton-
West circulator service is estimated to cost$682,564 for the first year of operation and $668,703 for the second year
of operation. For the current fiscal year, $455,053 will be required. For FY 2014/15, $561,866 would be required to
complete the remaining ten (10) months of service(for a total 18-month term).
Based on MV Transportation, Inc.'s timely and professional responsiveness, ability to respond to the City's needs on
an emergency basis, impressive record of service with a local municipality, and competitive hourly service costs, the
Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt this Resolution waiving by 5/7th vote, the
formal competitive bidding requirements, finding such waiver to be in the City's best interest and authorizing the
Mayor to execute a contract with MV Transportation, Inc. for provision of circulator services along the Alton Road-
West Avenue Corridors using cutaway vehicles based on the attached terms, and further, authorizing the
administration to negotiate with MV Transportation Inc.for the provision of circulator service for North Beach and other
optional routes using trolley vehicles.
Staff firmly believes that including the proposed North Beach Local Circulator as an additional service in the contract
will be advantageous to the City. If negotiations with MV Transportation, Inc. proceed favorably for the City, the
Administration anticipates presenting to the City Commission a contract amendment with MV Transportation, Inc.for a
term of seven (7)years,with a termination for convenience provision. Should the City not be successful in negotiating
a competitive rate for the North Beach Circulator,the Administration will proceed with an Invitation to Bid for the North
Beach Circulator service.

FUNDING

Life (QOL) for Transportation appropriation. FY 2014/15 funding is subject to budget
appropriation.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Resolution.
KEY INTENDED OUTCOME SUPPORTED
Enhance mobility throughout the City.
BACKGROUND
As a result of the current Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Alton Road
Reconstruction Project, the Alton Road business district and the West Avenue corridor have
been .significantly impacted due to the lane closures on Alton Road and the increased traffic
volume on West Avenue. The project is anticipated to be completed in July 2015.
At the December 11, 2013 City Commission meeting, the Administration was directed to
develop a plan to mitigate the financial loss being experienced by business owners on Alton
Road and West Avenue due to the roadway construction. One of the actions identified at the
Commission meeting was the immediate implementation of a transit circulator loop along Alton
Road and West Avenue in an effort to help mitigate the loss of parking, improve mobility, and
promote economic development along the corridors (Attachment A).
i
Since the Commission meeting, staff has identified transit providers (First Transit, MV
Transportation Inc., and Keolis) which currently operate transit circulator service for local
municipalities. During the due diligence process, staff was advised that Keolis, which operates
Alton-West Emergency Transit Service-Waiving of Competitive Bidding—Commission Memo
January 15, 2014
Page 2 of 4
circulator service for several municipalities in South Florida is currently in the process of being
acquired by Transportation America, the company currently providing special transportation
(para-transit) services for Miami-Dade County. Additionally, staff was advised of at least one
government agency that has a current contract with Keolis and has opted to re-bid its trolley
service.
ANALYSIS
To expedite the procurement of the service, staff requested copies of current full-turnkey
contracts with government agencies from First Transit and MV Transportation, Inc. in order to
identify an available and competitively-bid contract suitable for a "piggy-back". No provider was
able to produce a suitable full-turnkey contract for similar circulator services with other
government agencies. Of the operators contacted by City staff, MV Transportation, Inc. was the
most responsive.
City staff developed a term sheet for a full-turnkey transit service along Alton Road and West
Avenue corridors on an emergency basis (Attachment B) and provided same to MV
Transportation, Inc. on December 31, 2013. On January 2, 2014, MV Transportation, Inc.
engaged an emergency run-cutter (transit operation expert) to conduct travel time runs with City
staff. On January 6, 2014, MV Transportation, Inc. submitted a price proposal to the City based
on the term sheet for full turnkey circulator service.
By way of background, MV Transportation, Inc. was founded in 1975 and established a
presence in the state of Florida more than 10 years ago. MV Transportation, Inc. is the nation's
largest American-owned transportation company. MV Transportation, Inc. has about 17,000
employees and nearly 10,000 vehicles and operates 217 contracts worldwide (see Attachment
C for a detailed company profile). Locally, MV Transportation, Inc. has been providing transit
service for the City of Hialeah for over three years (Attachment D).
Alton-West Emergency Circulator Service
Following the analysis by the run-cutter, MV Transportation, Inc. submitted a price proposal for
the Alton Road-West Avenue circulator loop using two (2) cutaway vehicles as shown in
Attachment E. The hourly cost (including capital, drivers, fuel, operation and maintenance
costs) for the Alton Road-West Avenue turnkey circulator service is $58.44 for the first year of
service and $57.25 for the following year for a term of eighteen (18) months. At this hourly rate,
and based on the number of annual operating hours (11,680 based on 2 vehicles operating 16
hours/day), the Alton-West circulator service is estimated to cost $682,564 for the first year of
operation and $668,703 for the second year of operation. For the current fiscal year
$455,053.00 will be required. For FY 2014/15, $561,866.00 would be required to complete the
remaining ten (10) months of service (for a total 18 month term).
The proposed emergency circulator service would operate a closed counter-clockwise loop
along Alton Road for 7 days a week from 8am to midnight until the completion of the Alton Road
reconstruction project. Because the Alton-West is a temporary service, storage of the two cut-
way buses will be accommodated at the Miami Beach Convention Center parking lot.
The vendor has presented a proposal to provide two (2) new trolleys (see Attachment F) for this
operation at a cost of $71.77 for the first year of service and $70.72 for the following year. At
this hourly rate, and based on 11,680 annual operating hours, the Alton-West circulator service
is estimated to cost $838,273 for the first year of operation and $826,010 for the second year of
operation using trolley vehicles. However, under this scenario, the City would be responsible for
paying the undepreciated vehicle cost at the end of the 18-month term based on a seven (7)-
Alton-West Emergency Transit Service-Waiving of Competitive Bidding—Commission Memo
January 15, 2014
Page 3 of 4
year depreciation schedule. The operator is also pursuing an option to lease the two (2) new
trolleys for this service in lieu of the cutaway. While the trolleys are available for purchase and
service as early as February 1, 2014, the option to lease the trolleys has not yet been confirmed
by MV Transportation, Inc.
Based on staff's experience and a cost comparison of similar local municipal circulator services
under a full-turnkey scenario, City staff has determined that the price presented by MV
Transportation, Inc. for the Alton Road-West Avenue circulator service is competitive and within
industry standards. Attachment G depicts a cost comparison of various local municipal
circulator services (Hialeah, Miami, Doral, and Coral Gables). Hourly rates were compared
based on the type of services provided by the private operators for those cities. Very few local
cities of comparable size are operating municipal circulator services under a full turnkey
operation whereby the private operator provides drivers, dispatchers, vehicles, fuel, storage,
maintenance, repairs, and insurances. Of the cities researched, the City of Doral trolley service
is the closest to a full turnkey service. As an example, City of Doral operates five (5) trolleys at
$52.50 per hour, excluding capital costs which are typically in the $7 - $13/hour range and vary
depending on hours of operation, type of vehicle and term of contract. Based on this cost
comparison for similar services, the hourly rates provided by MV Transportation, Inc. for
emergency transit service along Alton Road and West Avenue are competitive; however, the
costs provided should be considered as not-to-exceed costs.
Optional Additional Routes
If approved by City Commission, the contract with MV Transportation, Inc. can include a
provision for optional additional routes to be implemented at the City's sole discretion. One of
these additional routes will be the North Beach Circulator, approved by City Commission at the
September 11, 2013 meeting (Attachment H). In order to comply with the Administration's
commitment-to launch the North Beach Local service by June 2014, staff is recommending that
the North Beach local service be negotiated as an optional additional route in the contract with
MV Transportation, Inc. Trolleys can be custom-ordered by MV Transportation, Inc.,
manufactured, and delivered in time for the anticipated service begin date. Since the North
Beach Circulator is a permanent service, the private operator will be responsible for storage of
the vehicles at an off-site facility.
Other additional routes could potentially include temporary circulator service during major
special events in the City to mitigate traffic congestion resulting from these events.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on MV Transportation, Inc.'s timely and professional responsiveness, ability to respond
to the .City's needs on an emergency basis, impressive record of service with a local
municipality, and competitive hourly service costs, the Administration recommends that the
Mayor and City Commission adopt this Resolution waiving by 5/7th vote, the formal competitive
bidding requirements, finding such waiver to be in the City's best interest and authorizing the
Mayor to execute a contract with MV Transportation, Inc. for provision of circulator services
along the Alton Road-West Avenue Corridors using cutaway vehicles based on the attached
terms, and further, authorizing the administration to negotiate with MV Transportation Inc. for
the provision of circulator service for North Beach and other optional routes using trolley
vehicles.
Staff firmly believes that including the proposed North Beach Local Circulator as an additional
service in the contract will be advantageous to the City. If negotiations with MV Transportation,
Inc. proceed favorably for the City, the Administration anticipates presenting to the City

to Bid for the North Beach Circulator service. An Interlocal Agreement with Miami-Dade County
will be required for operation of the North Beach Local service. The Interlocal Agreement will be
presented to City Commission for approval.

Mr.Gonzalez,
I am writing this letter to share how pleased I am that we have MV Transportation as our service
provider for the City of Hialeah Circulator! We have seen the difference that it makes as I have said,
now we have a`professional company'serving our community.
We have noticed a decrease in the number of customer calls and complaints. I was also impressed at
the level of training I observed being given to the Operators! The Safety Training Program far surpasses
what our previous provider had given to our drivers.
We are in the last year of the contract and are working to renew it for a longer term. Their management
team is dedicated on forging a true partnership and this will help take our service to the next level. We
also see the corporate support that MV has provided in the areas of Safety and Maintenance.
I look forward to working with MV Transportation for a longer duration and growing our service to meet
Hialeah's Community needs. We have had a great start and appreciate the MV Team and their
dedication to providing the best service possible for the City of Hialeah.
