One bus will operate in a clockwise direction providing hourly, northbound service on the west side and hourly, southbound service on the east side. The second bus will operate in a counterclockwise direction providing hourly, northbound service on the east side and hourly, southbound service on the west side. Each bus will be required to depart the time points at a published departure time according to a scheduled bus stop sequence. The schedules will be "relaxed" between each time point to permit route deviation within the service area zone between each pair of time points. Both the clockwise and counterclockwise loops will be established with an approximate 54 minute cycle time, leaving six minutes (10%) for recovery at the Flex-Route Shuttle start and finish point. The location of time points has not been finalized at this time. Up to seven or eight time points are possible, with approximately seven to eight minutes each hour for clockwise and counterclockwise, demand response service between each time point. Time points may change within the contract time period. Changes would be made in consultation with the CONTRACTOR. The City shall be solely responsible for the identification, design, placement and maintenance of any fixed stop locations. Passengers will be able to walk-on at the time points and request a drop off within any of the subsequent zones. Other passengers will make advance requests for service to and from locations requiring a demand response, route deviation between the formal time points. C. Annual Revenue Hours The Flex-Route Shuttle service is funded through Measure B Paratransit funds and fare box revenues. Annual service hours are subject to revision. Currently three days of Flex-Route Shuttle service have been budgeted for. The CITY is currently budgeting for approximately 2,500 annual service hours. II. Term of Contract The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of six months beginning August 1, 2003 through February 1, 2004, with a 120 day option to extend the pilot program services while the City conducts a competitive bid process.
