Background
|
The Board of Education awarded a three-year contract to Citizens Taxi Dispatch, Inc. in July 2017 for transportation services to transport students of varying needs. These services include transportation of McKinney-Vento students, special education out-placed students (single student to a facility), high school students who require mid-day routes, and Transition students. The initial term of this contract expired on June 30, 2020. After this initial term, we could extend for additional terms by mutual agreement. The Board approved a one-year extension to this contract in June 2020 and then again in April 2021. The latest extension expires June 30, 2022.

Summary:
|
Citizens Taxi has presented a proposal for extending the contract for two (2) additional years. The proposal includes an increase in the cost per mile from $2.90 to $3.10 for SY 2022-23, and to $3.20 for SY 2023-34; an increase in the load fee from $2.00 to $5.00 per load; and an added fuel escalator clause. The fuel escalator will be set at $1.95 per gallon, which is in line with our other transportation contracts.
Over the last six weeks, District administration and Finance Committee have discussed the proposal. Attached is the proposed Amendment for the two-year extension.
