Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Agreement with TravelCenter Tours and Travel for Day Trips Prepared by: Tegan McLane, Cultural Arts and Heritage Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider a contract services agreement with TravelCenter Tours and Travel for day trips for adults to be offered during Fiscal Year 2019 -20. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Approving an Agreement with TravelCenter Tours and Travel. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The contract amount is a not-to-exceed $45,000. Sufficient funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2019-20 General Fund Budget to cover the contract amount. Revenue generated will cover the cost of the program. DESCRIPTION: For many years, the Dublin Senior Center has offered senior day trips to destinations throughout Northern California. Trips have been coordinated by Senior Center staff , and a City employee traditionally drives the group to their destination on the City's 14- passenger van. The small van capacity, limits the number of seniors able to participate in each trip, thus limiting the programs ability to generate possible revenue. In an effort to re-invigorate the program, increase revenue and provide a wider variety of day trips options that customers have requested, the City explored contracting the transportation services of the trips and tours program. A professional travel company specializing in producing day trips has the resources to offer a much wider variety of trips, more efficiently schedule them and provide desirable amenities for customers, including luxury charter bus transportation. Per the City's purchasing policy, Staff conducted a formal bid for day trip coordination, with a Request for Quotes published on May 9, 2019 and closing on May 23, 2019. Page 2 of 2 One bid was received by the closing date. TravelCenter Tours and Travel of Pleasant Hill is able to meet all of the specifications of the Request for Quotes and would be available to begin providing service in the fall. The company successfully provides these services for the cities of Pleasant Hill, Antioch and Brentwood. It offers a catalog of 60 Northern California trip destinations, many of which include an assortment of options and can be custom tailored for Dublin customers. As with contract classes, the actual amount paid to the contractor and revenue received by the City varies based on registration and price of trips offered. The combined total for all day trips has the potential to reach $45,000 and therefore requires City Council approval.
