4. Consent Agenda
Recommend approval of all items on Consent Agenda as follows:
A. Minutes of the June 8, 2020 Board of Directors Special meeting.
B. Treasurer’s Report for May 2020
Recommendation: The Finance and Administration committee recommends approval of the May 2020 Treasurer’s Report.
C. MV Transportation, Inc. (MV) Payment Agreement
Recommendation: The Projects & Services Committee recommends the Board of Directors authorize the Executive Director to extend the payment agreement with MV on a month-to-month basis until service returns to pre-COVID levels, or when the agency reaches a stable level of service.
Recommendation: The Finance & Administration Committee recommends the Board approve Resolution 18-2020, in support of a funding request to MTC for the Cycle 6 Lifeline Transportation Program for continued operations of Wheels Route 14 serving North Livermore.
Recommendation: The Finance & Administration Committee recommends the Board execute Form 130, designating LAVTA’s authorized Agent to apply for and receive funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and/or California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services for disaster assistance funding in connection with the declared COVID-19 disaster.
F. Establishing Standing Committees and Memberships
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board confirm and approve Resolution 23-2020, establishing standing committees, memberships, and officers.
5. Executive Director’s Report
6. Atlantis Transit Facility – Schematic Design
Recommendation: Staff requests that the Board of Director approve Resolution 20-2020, authorizing the Executive Director to execute a Contract Task Order 4 between LAVTA and Kimley-Horn and Associates in the amount of $450,000 to assist with project management services for schematic design of the LAVTA Atlantis Transit Facility. Please note the Projects & Services Committee supported the resolution for the execution of CTO 4 in the amount of $350,000.
7. Modification 6 to Contract with MTM for Paratransit Operations
Recommendation: Taking into account the time required for a formal solicitation, staff recommends that the Board of Directors authorize the Executive Director to execute Modification #6 with MTM to extend the current payment agreement and exercise the last option term until December 31, 2020. Since the monthly supplemental agreement was based on trip volume, staff recommends that it be waived and revert back to the pre-COVID pricing structure of a per trip cost when the average weekday trip volume for any month is 100 or more trips. The new pricing structure will be as follows:
| Tier | Number of Trips per Month | Price per Trip |
Change from Previous Rates |
| 1 | Up to 4,199 | $36.94 | $0.72 or 2% |
| 2 | 4,200 – 6,699 | $36.05 | $0.70 or 2% |
| 3 | 4,700+ | $34.85 | $0.68 or 2% |
Recommendation: The Finance & Administration Committee recommends the Board approve a SUPPORT position for H.R. 2, the INVEST in America Act/Moving Forward Act.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board of Directors approve Resolution 22-2020 in support of an allocation request to MTC and Caltrans for the State Transit Assistance State of Good Repair (SGR) Program.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the Board of Directors authorize the Executive Director to notify the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) of LAVTA’s desire to participate in MTC’s Clipper START! pilot program.
