RECOMMENDATION•
Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an agreement with
Bustop Shelters of California, Inc. to provide bus shelters and
benches at various locations throughout the City.
DISCUSSION•
The City of Newport Beach has had a program for the installation
and maintenance of bus shelters with advertising since 1985. The
current contract expires May 19, 1991. The original contractor
has sold his shelters to another company, Bustop Shelters of
California, Inc., which would like to have the contract rewritten
at this time.
The existing program consists of 18 shelters with advertising, 2
shelters without advertising, and approximately 20 bus benches.
The revenue to the City is based upon the number of shelters and
is currently just over $26,000 annually.
Bustop Shelters has submitted a proposal to continue the existing
program that includes significant additional revenues and
benefits to the City. The highlights of the proposal include:
1 of 2
i
* A one -time renewal bonus of $100,000.
* An immediate increase in the monthly fee of 23 %, with
• annual increases over the five -year period of the
agreement.
* An installation fee of $5000 for each new shelter with
advertising.
* Three additional shelters without advertising for use
at locations selected by the City.
Bustop Shelters has been providing the shelter services to the
City for almost two years since they purchased the assets of the
original shelter contractor. Based upon observations of other
shelter programs in Orange County, staff believes that Bustop
Shelters provides above - average service. They have kept the
shelters clean and trash -free and have responded quickly to
requests for maintenance due to vandalism or accidents.
It is recommended that a new, five -year agreement be signed with
Bustop Shelters of California, Inc.
