This was a first-time bid, predicated on actual requirements, at the time it was issued. Since the bid was awarded, the District received additional requisitions that required a supplement to the award.

(2)

Bid No. 121-AA07 – VEHICLE TOWING, to establish a contract, to purchase, at firm unit prices, quantities, as may be required, of vehicle towing, for the Department of Transportation, Vehicle Maintenance, during the term of the bid, effective May 16, 2001, through May 15, 2002. This supplemental award is requested due to an increase in towing service. Last contract usage averaged $3,881.85 per month, while this year's usage has averaged $6,526.11 per month. The supplemental amount requested is based on the average monthly expenditure, times the twelve (12) month contract period, minus the original award amount.

There has been an increase in towing services associated with an increase in the number of accidents and the contracted services for vehicle paint and body work. In addition, there was a 50% rate increase over the previous bid price, in the bid awarded to the North of Flagler Street area of the contract.

(3)

Bid No. 204-AA07 – TRANSPORTATION FOR SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS, to establish a contract, to purchase, at firm unit prices, quantities, as may be required, of transportation for special needs students, for the Department of Transportation, during the term of the bid, effective August 26, 2001, through August 25, 2002. This supplemental award is requested due to additional students with special transportation needs, and a significantly higher mileage rate. Six additional students were added to this program. However, it is the rate for mileage reimbursement, which is causing the District to pay for services beyond the amount paid under prior usage.

There was no mileage rate paid under the previous bid by the primary vendor. The new bid includes a mileage rate of $2 for the entire county. The projected cost for the special transportation needs, including the additional mileage rate, is $730,828 for the entire year. The supplemental amount requested is based on the projected expenditure, minus the original award amount.
