MEMORANDUM
TO: Ivan Pato, City Manager
Mayor

Commissioners
FROM: Bonnie Temchuk
Assistant to the City Manager
Grants and Special Projects
DATE: April 13, 2004
SUBJECT: Community Bus Service
The City of Dania Beach advertised through a"RFP" process for the Community Bus Service. We
received two proposals, one for$28.00 per hour and one for$29.75 per hour. The selection committee
reviewed both proposals and met to discuss recommendations. The selection committee consisted of
Kristen Jones, Terry Weech and I.
After careful review of both proposals, the selection committee determined that the best services could be
provided for by Limousines of South Florida, Inc. at a rate of$29.75 per hour.
This decision was based on the following:
• Stringent hiring process of all employees, including background checks, clean (no infractions)
driving records, extensive drug and alcohol testing
• Two (2) Project Managers will be assigned to our project, to insure management at all times
• All drivers of this company will learn the Dania routes to insure uninterrupted service
• All personnel wear professional uniforms (Blue Collar Shirt, Dark Pants, Black Shoes and ID
Badge)
• In-house maintenance facility for both preventive and regular maintenance of buses
• Project Managers will handle all aspects of the day-to-day operations including required records
and paperwork to be submitted to Broward County (copy to City of Dania Beach), citizen and staff
suggestions regarding route changes, time schedules and citizen complaints. All requests and
responses will be given to the City of Dania Beach.
• All vehicles, including back up vehicles are ADA compliant
These points were not included with the other company's proposal and the selection committee
determined that these areas were extremely important for the Community Bus program to run smoothly
and efficiently.
References were checked for both companies and though both received good responses, the references
indicated that Limousines of South Florida, Inc. provided better service in quality of drivers, vehicles and
the least down time.
Therefore, the selection committee requests that the City Commission approve entering into a one-year
agreement with Limousines of South Florida, Inc. with an optional renewal of two one-year periods.
