1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a ninety (90) day extension to the existing AT&T “Volume & Term Agreement” (R2009-1055).

SUMMARY:  To obtain the best possible pricing, ISS has contracted with an outside firm to assist in negotiating a new agreement with AT&T. Extensive evaluation is required to assess recent telecommunications offerings and plan for new technologies, such as the voice over IP (VoIP) phone system.  These efforts will extend the timeframe for negotiating the new agreement beyond the current contract end date of June 30, 2012. Countywide (PFK)

3. REGULAR AGENDA

F. PALM TRAN

TIME CERTAIN 10:30 A.M.

1. Staff recommends motion to approve: a Contract with Metro Mobility Management Group, LLC (MMMG) for the provision of paratransit services, for a term of five (5) years, at the not to exceed amount of $90,246,070.12. SUMMARY: The Selection Committee reviewed the five (5) proposals received in response to RFP No 11-097R/SC (PARATRANSIT SERVICES) and following a presentation by each proposer and discussion, evaluated the proposals, and recommended an award to Metro Mobility Management Group, LLC. The recommendation was approved by the Board on April 3, 2012. At the April 3, 2012 Meeting, there was discussion that MMMG is involved in a labor dispute with the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) who represents their employees. This was known at the time that the Selection Committee made its recommendation and the Selection Committee members were able to adjust scoring based on this. Based on conversations with both parties the two (2) major issues that remain unresolved are:

- There is an outstanding dispute between the parties in regard to the amount of an award based on a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) decision; and

- The two parties have not been able to reach agreement on a labor contract. It is our understanding that MMMG recently gave the Union their “best and final offer” which proposed an Agreement between MMMG and the ATU that included a wage proposal that would bring all current employees to a $10 an hour wage by the end of the Agreement, and it also included a monthly health care benefit. MMMG’s proposed agreement was voted down by the Union membership.

The proposal by MMMG was scored highest by the Selection Committee. This will provide Palm Tran/Palm Beach County with the greatest cost savings for the operation of our paratransit service, estimated to be over $16.7 million dollars during the five (5) years over the next highest rated proposer. The selection was initially protested by one of the proposers but this protest has since been withdrawn. Countywide (DR)
