Information

Agenda Item

Resolution - Public Transit Services: Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Service Agreement dated March 9, 2021, by and between the City of Lubbock and SPARE Labs, Inc., to allow Citibus to use non-dedicated fleets or third party providers through a SPARE Open Fleets integration.

Item Summary

The amendment to the SPARE Labs Inc. contract will allow for the integration of the SPARE Open Fleets module to allow Citibus to utilize non-dedicated fleets or third-party providers to provide trips on behalf of Citibus. Non-dedicated fleets or third party providers would typically be a Transportation Network Company (TNC) such as Lyft, Uber, etc. Currently, Citibus outsources trips to a TNC for promotional or special events, or as needed due to demand. Citibus does not anticipate this being a permanent offering; however, as network redesign is finalized, this may provide a cost-efficient option. At this time, only general public-on-demand trips are outsourced, and this will not affect Americans with Disabillities (ADA) para-transit trips.   The service agreement with SPARE Labs, Inc., was entered into on March 9, 2021.

Fiscal Impact

No additional costs will be associated with the amendment to the SPARE Labs, Inc. contract, unless approved non-dedicated fleets or third-party providers are utilized consistently over 3 months. A monthly charge of $535.50 will be incurred, in the event that Citibus uses a non-dedicated fleet or third-party provider over a continuous 3-month period.
