Rate/Bid Proposal negotiations June 13,2001 produced a Service Volume/Mileage tier rate structure for the operation of CCTS. This gives an incentive for the Contractor to perform as the Primary Service Provider of the approximately 80,000 trips contracted by the Cabarms County agencies listed as participating in the consolidated system serviced by CCTS. COACH USA Bid/Proposal based on a Service Volume/Mileage Tier initiates at $1.87 cents per mile up to 299,999 miles servicing 44,776 county agency human service trips The Tier's rate structure reflects the economy of scale in co-ordinated trip management. Rates per mile go down as miles of Agency and Community Service trips go up. Costs per trip to County Agencies will decrease accordingly creating budget reserves to service their growing demand for more trips.(Attachment C.) The current CCTS / Laidlaw Services contract as it oPerates now ($1.47 cents per mile averaging 300,000 miles estimated) would cost Cabarrus County at this m'mimal Service $441,000.00 producing only 41,682 Service Units for the County Agencies during the 2001/2002 fiscal contract period. The "enhanced" CCTS/Laidlaw Services contract if continued began at ($2.41 cents per mile) $723,000.00 for the same 300,000 miles of Service. The employee Pay/Benefit Enhancement package does not justify a $282,000.00 increase for the same level of Service to County Agencies. The "enhanced" CCTS/COACH USA proposed contract rate ($1.87 cents per mile) based on the same 300,000 miles of Service cost $561,000, a difference of $162,000.00. COACH/USA Service Proposal/Bid package "realistically" mirrors the costs experience of the baseline model Cabarms County Schools bus operation. The budget increase costs of CCTS/Operating Services contract will be $121,000.00 or $2.61 per Human Service trip to allow for the development of the "enhancements" key to a professional CCTS operation and the mobility management partnering of Cabarrus County with the CCTS contractor. This increase in costs per trip will be fully absorbed under the Service Tier at the 500,00 mile of Service mirroring the current CCTS/Laidlaw trip costs of $10.65 while producing 24,000 additional service trips to Cabarrus County Human Service Agencies contracted with CCTS. The 23% CCTS contract costs increase will produce a SeA, ice increase to the Cabarrus County Human Service Provider Agencies a 13% increase in trip availability producing capacity for 5,200 additional service trips.
