Title
Second Extension to the Contract between the City of Gainesville and the Center for Independent Living of North Central Florida (B)
This item involves a request for the second one-year extension to the service Contract between the City and the Center for Independent Living of North Central Florida (CIL-NCF) that expires April 30, 2006.
Explanation
The current Contract with CIL-NCF will expire April 30, 2006, and has a provision for three additional one-year extensions. This is the second extension request. This Contract provides for Certification and Re-certification of ADA Eligibility. RTS recommends extending the current Contract for an additional one-year period from May 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007.
Fiscal Note
Funds for this Second Extension are available in the RTS FY06 operating budget.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission: 1) authorize the City Manager to execute the Second Extension to the Contract with CIL-NCF for the period of May 1, 2006 to April 30, 2007; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute any and all related documents.
Alternative Recommendation A: The City Commission declines authorization for the City Manager to execute the Second Extension of the Contract with CIL-NCF. The City of Gainesville would be without a Contract to provide ADA Eligibility Certification. RTS would no longer be in compliance with Federal requirements, resulting in a loss of Federal Funding for the Fixed Route buses.
