Explanation

§                     Coretex (dba Airtrak) currently provides Automated Vehicle Locator (AVL) equipment and monthly monitoring services through a contract that began September 2016.

§                     On June 13, 2016, City Council awarded a sole source contract for the replacement of AVL devices that were reaching end of life.

§                     The AVLs transmit vehicle global position system (GPS) data, vehicle and driver performance data, and customer service delivery data at 15-second intervals via mobile networks.

§                     The transmitted data is used to calculate service routing, generate performance benchmarking, and investigate customer service requests and complaints.

§                     Solid Waste Services (SWS) is requesting an amendment to increase the contract spend by an estimated $390,000 to continue the monthly service data monitoring and reporting currently in place.

§                     This amendment allows SWS to maintain continuity of service delivery and compatibility of other integrated systems. The City’s current curbside recycling vendor and newly awarded Multifamily solid waste collection contract vendor use the same equipment.

§                     The company will be paid the unit prices set forth in the contract, a copy of which is available upon request.

§                     Total new estimated contract spend is $592,000 over the existing five year term of the contract.
