Resolution - Public Transit Services:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Purchase Order 27121599, with RCN Communications d/b/a/ RCN Technologies, to purchase modems to be placed on Citibus vehicles.
Item Summary
Purchase Order 27121599,
with RCN Technologies of Knoxville, Tennessee, in the amount $124,032.60, is for 80 modems to be placed on Citibus vehicles. The modems will receive cell signals that will provide vehicle locations for real time bus tracking and trip planning. The $124,032.60 includes device set up and configuration, and mobile performance plan, for all modems purchased. With modems installed on the buses, Citibus has the potential to initiate other real time services in the future, such as real time camera access and other potential real time farebox applications.
The City of Lubbock procurement process for the modems was not necessary as they are being purchased through TX DIR Contract DIR-CPO-4458.
Fiscal Impact
Citibus will use Federal FY 2019 Section 5307 funds. Local match for this purchase is included in the FY 2019 Citibus Budget and will result in no additional costs to the City of Lubbock.
