Summary Explanation and Background:
Space Coast Area Transit contracts out their Fleet Maintenance and Repair Management. The current vendor is First Vehicle Services, Inc. On February 25, 2020, the Board authorized an extension to the current contract until July 31, 2020; as staff has been working with the Federal Transit Administration on an area of deficiency from the recent Federal Triennial Review.
Due to COVID-19 and their current operating conditions at the Federal Transit Administration, staff did not receive direction on how to proceed until June 22, 2020. Purchasing Services and Transit staff have made the necessary changes to RFP # P-4-20-08, which was released on July 2, 2020. The proposals are due by July 24, 2020.
Staff is requesting an additional three month extension to allow sufficient time for the selection committee and negotiation committees to make a selection and negotiate a competitive contract.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Transit Services will need one set of the attached Amendment No. 7 along with the Board Memorandum
