RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute an amendment to the "Transportation Service Agreement for Operation of a School Bus Route within County Service Area T-1 (Agreement)" with the Measure J Traffic Congestion Relief Agency (TRAFFIX), effective August 15, 2019, to authorize payment of TRAFFIX operational and overhead costs for an additional bus route for a total of three school bus routes within County Service Area T-1 (CSA T-1), Danville area. (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County will use 100% CSA T-1 funds to pay TRAFFIX operational and overhead costs to operate three school bus routes within CSA T-1, starting from August 15, 2019. It is anticipated that annual cost for each bus will be approximately $119,100 in 2019-20 and will increase $3,000 each year following.

BACKGROUND:

In early 2014, the County and the TRAFFIX, a traffic congestion relief program operated cooperatively by Contra Costa County, the City of San Ramon, the Town of Danville, and the San Ramon Valley Unified School District, executed the Agreement to use CSA T-1 funds to pay for one TRAFFIX school bus to serve students who live in the CSA T-1 and attend Monte Vista High School.

In February of 2017, TRAFFIX and the County executed the First Amendment to the Agreement, which added a second TRAFFIX school bus to serve students who live in the CSA T-1 and attend Monte Vista High School.

In August of 2017, TRAFFIX and the County executed the Second Amendment to the Agreement, requiring the County pay annual overhead costs associated with operating each CSA T-1 bus (in addition to the operation costs), starting from July 1, 2016.

The TRAFFIX Board of Directors approved the Third Amendment to the Agreement at its July 16, 2019, meeting.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board of Supervisors’ approval, this Third Amendment to the Agreement will not be executed and an additional school bus will not be provided.
