SUBJECT:
Discussion on adding an additional vehicle to the Freebee fleet for the upcoming season
SUMMARY:
In anticipation of the upcoming visitor season, at the August 13, 2024 FPRA Meeting, the FPRA Board requested a proposal from Freebee to temporarily add a fifth electric vehicle to the fleet. This initiative aims to proactively address the anticipated surge in demand during the visitor season, with the goal of improving rider experience and minimizing wait times. The cost for the additional vehicle is $10,833.00 per month plus a one-time fee of $1,500.00 for the vehicle wrap and a one-time fee of $1,250.00 to install the charging station. Freebee estimates a 30 to 45-day timeframe from amendment execution for the additional vehicle to begin service.
The CRA Advisory Committee reviewed this preliminary concept at their meeting on October 2, 2024 and recommends the FPRA Board move forward with exploring this seasonal expansion.
