Staff also <br />communicates with MV staff regularly to ensure proper service. <br />In November 2018, the City Council approved an agreement with MV to provide paratransit <br />services from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019. The City Council subsequently approved <br />Amendment No. 1 to that agreement to continue the services provided from July 1, 2019 to <br />December 30, 2019. City Council subsequently approved Amendment No. 2 to that agreement to <br />continue the services provided from to December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020. <br />The FLEX Paratransit Expansion Plan, completed by the consultant Nelson Nygaard, analyzed <br />the program in depth to identify ways in which it could be improved. Several of the most <br />significant findings regarding the decline of the FLEX Shuttle ridership included: <br />·Length of trip - each route takes approximately one hour to complete the circuit. <br />·Routes need to be updated to incorporate additional destinations to attract more riders. <br />Staff reviewed recommendations contained in the Expansion Plan and decided to implement <br />Dual Bi-Directional Loops, which will address both the length of trip and to update the two routes. <br />This will require the addition of two vehicles, for a total of four vehicles in operation. The length of <br />the contract is two years, due to the amortization schedule for the new vehicles. Hours of <br />operation upon implementation of the new routes will be 8:30am - 5:30pm Mondays, Tuesdays <br />and Thursdays. <br />To increase shuttle ridership, the qualifications for FLEX membership will be changed as follows <br />for FY 2020-2021 and forward: San Leandro residents who are 50 years and older or at least 18 <br />years old and East Bay Paratransit certified. The $20 annual membership fee will also be <br />eliminated. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />Exhibit B in the attached Agreement provides the Compensation Schedule from July 1, 2020 <br />through June 30, 2022. The Agreement continues the hourly rate of $72.10 per hour as reflected <br />in the current agreement until the implementation of the dual bi-directional, 3 day per week route, <br />estimated to occur in September 2020. At that time, the hourly rate will increase to $74.26 and <br />last through June 2021. The hourly rate will then increase to $74.34 starting July 1, 2022. <br />The monthly Fixed Cost Charge for two new vehicles will be $6,446.98 commencing in October <br />2020. Annual maintenance for two used vehicles is not to exceed $10,000 per fiscal year.
