Agenda Item
Resolution - Public Transit Services:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an interlocal agreement, with Texas Tech University, for campus bus service.
Item Summary
The interlocal agreement with Texas Tech University for transit services is for a 4-year period beginning September 1, 2022, and ending on August 31, 2026, and is for a minimum of 63,000 hours of service each academic calendar year. The cost per hour for each year is as follows:
Academic Year
Base Amount Per Hour
2022 - 2023
$70.00
2023 - 2024
$70.00
2024 - 2025
$75.00
2025 - 2026
$75.00
However, if the total number of hours actually provided is less than 63,000 for any academic year, the base rate for that year will be increased by 3% retroactively to the beginning of the academic year.
Academic Year
Base Amount Per Hour
2022 - 2023
$72.10
2023 - 2024
$72.10
2024 - 2025
$77.25
2025 - 2026
$77.25
The current average annual cost of providing services is factored into the per-hour charges for the University bus service. However, if the actual average per gallon diesel fuel cost to the City exceeds $4.00 for a calendar month, an additional fuel surcharge by the City may be assessed to the University for that month based on a calculation of:
Fuel Surcharge per vehicle = (2.5 x Fuel Cost Above $4.00 per gallon).
Charter rates have also been adjusted in the interlocal agreement. All charters that occur on normal service days will have a 2-hour minimum per bus and rates will not prorate until the 3
rd
hour of service. The rates are as follows:
Base Rate
Additional Hours
$280
$80 per hour
Additionally, all charters on Sundays, holidays or other non-service days will have a 3-hour minimum and rates will not prorate until after the 3rd hour of service. The rates are as follows:
Base Rate
Additional Hours
$475
$85 per hour
The City of Lubbock/Citibus has had a contract with Texas Tech University since 1968, with the fuel cost adjustment being added to the contract in 1981. In accordance with the Texas Tech University Agreement, Citibus does not collect fares from its passengers.
The Texas Tech University Board of Regents will consider approval of the contract at their May meeting. The Texas Tech University Board of Regents requests that the City Council execute the agreement first.
Fiscal Impact
Citibus anticipates receiving approximately $4,410,000 for the first two years of the contract and approximately $4,725,000 for the last two years of the contract. The total of the 4-year contract is approximately $18,270,000. The approval of this agreement will result in no additional cost to the City of Lubbock.
