Staff anticipates that as the Program's ridership and expenditures increase that <br />the cost per ride will continue to decline. The current median cost per ride is <br />$15.98. <br />6. Staff has ten months of CherryLift ridership and expenditure data available, <br />which does not provide adequate historical data to negotiate a unit cost <br />reimbursement rate with OHAS. Staff believes that an additional six months of <br />ridership and expenditure data should be made available prior to negotiating a <br />unit cost reimbursement rate as the contractual basis for payment. <br />7. One of the two components of the CherryLift operation is the °brokered" <br />services. Brokering services may include purchasing trips from private taxi <br />providers, volunteer mileage, or other van senrices. Staff believes that the <br />brokerage component is vague and requires an intensive planning process to <br />determine the components infrastructure. Staff recommends suspending <br />implementation of this component and working with the District's Special <br />Transportation Fund Advisory Committee and the Contractor to develop an <br />adequate brokerage plan. Enclosed with this memo is Attachment A, which is <br />an "Amended CherryLift Contract" that refines the Scope of Work. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that the Board authorize the General Manaqer to amend <br />and extend the Contract with the Oregon Housing & Associated Services <br />through June 30, 1998 with a cost reimbursement contract not to exceed <br />200 000. <br />CherryLift Contract Extension 2 Board Memo.doc <br />104 <br />
