EXI~IBIT A SCOPE OF WORK 1.1. BACKGROUND The City of San Leandro receives Measure B Paratransit funds to provide specialized transportation for people with disabilities and seniors. The purpose of these funds is to allow cities to supplement, not replace, the mandated paratransit services operated by AC Transit and BART through East Bay Paratransit. When Alameda County voters reauthorized the Measure B funds in 2000, the City of San Leandro conducted a Master Plan Study to develop and evaluate Measure B Paratransit service options. The study was completed and City Council approved the implementation of a Flex- Route Shuttle service called FLEX. The service was initially implemented as a six month pilot program, allowing prompt implementation of the service and program flexibility. In February 2004, the City Council approved the continuation of the FLEX Shuttle Service for FY 2004-05. In addition to the FLEX Shuttle, the San Leandro Paratransit Program provides Group Trips and plans to expand services in FY 2004-OS to provide Out-of--Town Medical Trips. The information below describes the most current status of the program. Depending on the funds available, and the cost of service, these parameters may be expanded or reduced. It is the desire of the City of San Leandro to maximize the level of service that can be provided for the fixed funds available. 2. L FLEX SHUTTLE SERVICE The FLEX Shuttle Service will operate five days per week as apoint-deviation, flex-route shuttle. The FLEX Shuttle service area includes all locations within the San Leandro city limits. FLEX combines both fixed route (shuttle stops) and demand response (curb to curb) features. It is essentially a demand response service, structured on a framework of fixed, scheduled time points to offer some walk-on flexibility and increased productivity. A flex-route service controls when a bus is available in each portion of the service area and structures the direction that the service travels to facilitate more productive, demand response trip request assignments. Two buses will operate on a b0-minute headway. Scheduled time points are established at key locations within San Leandro. The scheduled time points will forma "one- way loop" framework fora 60-minute clock face schedule, and serve as formal bus stops for passengers to use the service as walk-ons, not requiring a reservation. The headway and scheduled time points may be modified by the CITY in coordination with the contractor as needed to meet demand and efficiencies. One bus will operate in a clockwise direction providing hourly, northbound service on EXHIBIT A Page 1 of 13 G:\Oliver\ParatransitFY 2004-OS\\MV Contract FY 2004-05
