AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to award a four-year Contract No. PS40387000 to Robnett Electric, Inc. for the installation of TAP Fare Collection Equipment at regional bus stops and transit centers and other locations on an as-needed, task order basis, for an amount not to exceed $1,400,000, subject to resolution of protest(s).

Issue
ISSUE

To support the TVM Expansion Program for Municipal Transit Centers and bus stops, staff initiated procurement through the Small Business Set-Aside Program to retain a contractor that could install and support TVMs at a reduced cost than using the Universal Fare System (UFS) base contract with Cubic.

Discussion
DISCUSSION

At the October 2016 Board meeting, Directors Butts, Knabe, Najarian, and Dupont-Walker introduced a Motion (Attachment C) directing staff to expand the TVM Expansion Program to include municipal transit centers and bus stops.

Expanding the TVM system to enable greater and more convenient access to the region's transit patrons will further encourage the use of TAP cards.

This Contract with Robnett Electric, Inc. for fare equipment installation services will include the following:

Installation of TAP Vending Machines at Municipal Operator Locations

Eleven TVMs will be installed at nine locations. Staff and Municipal Operators have worked together to develop the installation plan illustrated in Table 1. The installation plan is tentative pending continued assessment of site conditions and finalization of agency agreements including permits with property owners. Installations, including necessary infrastructure work and support work, are scheduled to occur in FY18 with a budget not to exceed $1.4 million.
