CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: November 19, 2024
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis) Software as a Service Agreement and ERP “Cloud” Migration
Three-Year Strategic Goals
☒ Enhance the culture and environment of “A Nice Place to Live” ☐ Achieve fiscal stability by evaluating processes, and attract and retain revenue producing businesses/opportunities
☐ Attract and retain quality staff through best practices and trends ☒ Maintain, build, and modernize infrastructure to support growth and future needs of the City
☐ Not applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City’s current Enterprise Resource Planning System, Tyler Enterprise ERP (formerly known as Munis), was selected via RFP in August 2020 and approve by City Council in November 2020. The core financials module went live in April 2022. The City’s current Tyler ERP system is on-premise and managed and maintained by the City’s IT department. City staff is requesting approval of the attached agreement (Attachment 1) with Tyler Technologies to migrate our current on-premise Tyler Enterprise ERP system to the cloud-based Tyler Enterprise ERP Software as a Service solution.
DISCUSSION:
The City’s current Enterprise Resource Planning System, Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis), was approve by City Council in November 2020. The core financials module went live in April 2022, Payroll went live in January 2024, and Utility Billing is on track to go live in early 2025. The current Tyler ERP system is On-premise and managed and maintained by the City’s IT department. IT resources are utilized to maintain servers and manage file space, schedule software updates and security patches, plan and budget for hardware replacements, and perform recurring system backup procedures.
As the City nears the implementation of the new Utility Billing module within the Enterprise ERP system, the new module offers features that can provide new and valuable experiences for residents and businesses of Fountain Valley. These features include the ability to create
Tyler Enterprise ERP SaaS Agreement
November 19, 2024
and log into an online account to pay utility bills and invoices. However, having an on-premise system being utilized by outside users presents security risks for our IT infrastructure.
A solution to the city’s concerns related to strained internal resources and security related to the on-premise Tyler ERP system is to migrate the city’s data to Tyler’s Enterprise ERP Software as a Service Solution. Software as a Service (SaaS) is application software hosted on the “cloud” and used over an internet connection by way of a web browser.
Migrating the Enterprise ERP (Munis) system to the “cloud” has a number of benefits for the City:
System Administration: Tyler performs daily administrative tasks. Tyler handles the installation, upgrade, support, and file maintenance of the Enterprise ERP application and database servers, operating system, and infrastructure. Security Administration: Tyler provides secure data transmission paths from each city workstation to the Enterprise ERP applications. User IDs, passwords, and application access rights are administered by Tyler with the client’s final approval. Hardware Performance Maintenance: Tyler supplies and maintains all necessary hardware, providing workstation and API access to the Enterprise ERP applications at standard industry performance levels. All repairs, upgrades, and replacements to server hardware are the responsibility of Tyler, eliminating direct ERP server acquisition and maintenance costs by the City.
Disaster Recovery and Fault Tolerance: Tyler backs up all system and data files and stores them in a secure off-site location. Tyler has fully redundant telecommunication and electrical systems with no single point of failure. In addition, the system and data would be unaffected by local incidents or natural disasters. Expandable: Additional Enterprise ERP applications and data is easily added, as needed. As the City continues to strive to be more “paperless” in our processes, the demand on data resources will continue to grow.
Consistent Budgeting: The SaaS system is based on a set annual subscription fee.
Eliminates the need for ERP infrastructure asset replacement planning and budgeting or surprise replacement costs due to hardware failures.
The agreement with Tyler Technologies (Attachment 1) includes migration of the City’s current Enterprise ERP data to the SaaS Enterprise ERP “cloud” based solution and one year of service. The cost of the SaaS migration includes a one-time cost of $11,439 for project services and recurring annual cost for the Enterprise ERP system, the first year of which is $228,776.
The total cost of the SaaS agreement with Tyler Technologies is $240,215. City Staff is requesting that City Council approve the agreement with Tyler Technologies to migrate our current on-premise Tyler Enterprise ERP system to the cloud-based Tyler Enterprise ERP Software as a Service solution.

November 19, 2024
FISCAL REVIEW:
The city’s current on-premise Tyler Enterprise ERP system cost $116,028.24 for fiscal year 2024-25. The Tyler SaaS Enterprise ERP is $228,776 for the first year of service. This is an increase of $112,747.76 for the annual Enterprise ERP system. Additionally, there is a onetime project costs of $11,439 for project services to migrate the city’s data to the “cloud”.
The total cost of the Tyler Enterprise ERP (Munis) Software as a service and data migration agreement is $240,215. These costs would be expended in the Service Contracts account within the Information Technology Internal Service Fund, 110.10.10050.53010. Sufficient budget exists within this account to fund the cost of this agreement.
ATTORNEY REVIEW:
The Attorney for the City has reviewed the staff report and Tyler SaaS Agreement.
ALTERNATIVES:
Alternative No. 1: Approve an agreement with Tyler Technologies in a total amount of $240,215 for Enterprise ERP (Munis) Software as a Service to be expensed in the Information Technology Internal Service Fund.
Alternative No. 2: Do not approve the agreement with Tyler Technologies and provide alternative direction.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is requesting City Council approval of Alternative No. 1 to approve an agreement with Tyler Technologies in a total amount of $240,215 for Enterprise ERP (Munis) Software as a Service.

We will maintain industry standard intrusion detection and prevention systems to monitor malicious activity in the network and to log and block any such activity. We will provide you with a written or electronic record of the actions taken by us in the event that any unauthorized access to your database(s) is detected as a result of our security protocols. We will undertake an additional security audit, on terms and timing to be mutually agreed to by the parties, at your written request. You may not attempt to bypass or subvert security restrictions in the SaaS Services or environments related to the Tyler Software.
Unauthorized attempts to access files, passwords or other confidential information, and unauthorized vulnerability and penetration test scanning of our network and systems (hosted or otherwise) is prohibited without the prior written approval of our IT Security Officer.
6.5 We test our disaster recovery plan on an annual basis. Our standard test is not client-specific.
Should you request a client-specific disaster recovery test, we will work with you to schedule and execute such a test on a mutually agreeable schedule. At your written request, we will provide test results to you within a commercially reasonable timeframe after receipt of the request.
6.6 We will be responsible for importing back-up and verifying that you can log-in. You will be responsible for running reports and testing critical processes to verify the returned Data.
6.7 We provide secure Data transmission paths between each of your workstations and our servers.
6.8 Tyler data centers are accessible only by authorized personnel with a unique key entry. All other visitors to Tyler data centers must be signed in and accompanied by authorized personnel.
Entry attempts to the data center are regularly audited by internal staff and external auditors to ensure no unauthorized access.
6.9 Where applicable with respect to our applications that take or process card payment data, we are responsible for the security of cardholder data that we possess, including functions relating to storing, processing, and transmitting of the cardholder data and affirm that, as of the
5 Effective Date, we comply with applicable requirements to be considered PCI DSS compliant and have performed the necessary steps to validate compliance with the PCI DSS. We agree to supply the current status of our PCI DSS compliance program in the form of an official Attestation of Compliance, which can be found at https://www.tylertech.com/aboutus/compliance, and in the event of any change in our status, will comply with applicable notice requirements.
SECTION C – PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
1. Professional Services. We will provide you the various implementation-related services itemized in the Investment Summary.
2. Professional Services Fees. You agree to pay us the professional services fees in the amounts set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy. You acknowledge that the fees stated in the Investment Summary are good-faith estimates of the amount of time and materials required for your implementation. We will bill you the actual fees incurred based on the in-scope services provided to you. Any discrepancies in the total values set forth in the Investment Summary will be resolved by multiplying the applicable hourly rate by the quoted hours.
3. Additional Services. The Investment Summary contains the scope of services and related costs (including programming and/or interface estimates) required for the project based on our understanding of the specifications you supplied. If additional work is required, or if you use or request additional services, we will provide you with an addendum or change order, as applicable, outlining the costs for the additional work. The price quotes in the addendum or change order will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the quote.
4. Cancellation. If you cancel services less than four (4) weeks in advance (other than for Force Majeure or breach by us), you will be liable for all (a) daily fees associated with cancelled professional services if we are unable to reassign our personnel and (b) any non-refundable travel expenses already incurred by us on your behalf. We will make all reasonable efforts to reassign personnel in the event you cancel within four (4) weeks of scheduled commitments.
5. Services Warranty. We will perform the services in a professional, workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards. In the event we provide services that do not conform to this warranty, we will re-perform such services at no additional cost to you.
6. Site Access and Requirements. At no cost to us, you agree to provide us with full and free access to your personnel, facilities, and equipment as may be reasonably necessary for us to provide implementation services, subject to any reasonable security protocols or other written policies provided to us as of the Effective Date, and thereafter as mutually agreed to by you and us.
7. Background Checks. For at least the past twelve (12) years, all of our employees have undergone criminal background checks prior to hire. All employees sign our confidentiality agreement and security policies.
8. Client Assistance. You acknowledge that the implementation of the Tyler Software is a cooperative process requiring the time and resources of your personnel. You agree to use all reasonable efforts
6 to cooperate with and assist us as may be reasonably required to meet the agreed upon project deadlines and other milestones for implementation. This cooperation includes at least working with us to schedule the implementation-related services outlined in this Agreement. We will not be liable for failure to meet any deadlines and milestones when such failure is due to Force Majeure or to the failure by your personnel to provide such cooperation and assistance (either through action or omission).
9. Maintenance and Support. For so long as you timely pay your SaaS Fees according to the Invoicing and Payment Policy, then in addition to the terms set forth in the SLA and the Support Call Process, we will:
9.1 perform our maintenance and support obligations in a professional, good, and workmanlike manner, consistent with industry standards, to resolve Defects in the Tyler Software (subject to any applicable release life cycle policy);
9.2 provide support during our established support hours;
9.3 maintain personnel that are sufficiently trained to be familiar with the Tyler Software and Third Party Software, if any, in order to provide maintenance and support services;
9.4 make available to you all releases to the Tyler Software (including updates and enhancements) that we make generally available without additional charge to customers who have a maintenance and support agreement in effect; and
9.5 provide non-Defect resolution support of prior releases of the Tyler Software in accordance with any applicable release life cycle policy.
We will use all reasonable efforts to perform support services remotely. Currently, we use a third-party secure unattended connectivity tool called Bomgar, as well as GotoAssist by Citrix. Therefore, you agree to maintain a high-speed internet connection capable of connecting us to your PCs and server(s). You agree to provide us with a login account and local administrative privileges as we may reasonably require to perform remote services. We will, at our option, use the secure connection to assist with proper diagnosis and resolution, subject to any reasonably applicable security protocols. If we cannot resolve a support issue remotely, we may be required to provide onsite services. In such event, we will be responsible for our travel expenses, unless it is determined that the reason onsite support was required was a reason outside our control. Either way, you agree to provide us with full and free access to the Tyler Software, working space, adequate facilities within a reasonable distance from the equipment, and use of machines, attachments, features, or other equipment reasonably necessary for us to provide the maintenance and support services, all at no charge to us. We strongly recommend that you also maintain your VPN for backup connectivity purposes.
For the avoidance of doubt, SaaS Fees do not include the following services: (a) onsite support (unless Tyler cannot remotely correct a Defect in the Tyler Software, as set forth above); (b) application design; (c) other consulting services; or (d) support outside our normal business hours as listed in our thencurrent Support Call Process. Requested services such as those outlined in this section will be billed to you on a time and materials basis at our then current rates. You must request those services with at least one (1) week’s advance notice.
7 SECTION D – THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
1. Third Party Hardware. We will sell, deliver, and install onsite the Third Party Hardware, if you have purchased any, for the price set forth in the Investment Summary. Those amounts are payable in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
2. Third Party Software. As part of the SaaS Services, you will receive access to the Third Party Software and related documentation for internal business purposes only. Your rights to the Third Party Software will be governed by the Third Party Terms.
3. Third Party Products Warranties.
3.1 We are authorized by each Developer to grant access to the Third Party Software.
3.2 The Third Party Hardware will be new and unused, and upon payment in full, you will receive free and clear title to the Third Party Hardware.
3.3 You acknowledge that we are not the manufacturer of the Third Party Products. We do not warrant or guarantee the performance of the Third Party Products. However, we grant and pass through to you any warranty that we may receive from the Developer or supplier of the Third Party Products.
4. Third Party Services. If you have purchased Third Party Services, those services will be provided independent of Tyler by such third-party at the rates set forth in the Investment Summary and in accordance with our Invoicing and Payment Policy.
SECTION E - INVOICING AND PAYMENT; INVOICE DISPUTES
1. Invoicing and Payment. We will invoice you the SaaS Fees and fees for other professional services in the Investment Summary per our Invoicing and Payment Policy, subject to Section E(2).
2. Invoice Disputes. If you believe any delivered software or service does not conform to the warranties in this Agreement, you will provide us with written notice within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the applicable invoice. The written notice must contain reasonable detail of the issues you contend are in dispute so that we can confirm the issue and respond to your notice with either a justification of the invoice, an adjustment to the invoice, or a proposal addressing the issues presented in your notice. We will work with you as may be necessary to develop an action plan that outlines reasonable steps to be taken by each of us to resolve any issues presented in your notice.
You may withhold payment of the amount(s) actually in dispute, and only those amounts, until we complete the action items outlined in the plan. If we are unable to complete the action items outlined in the action plan because of your failure to complete the items agreed to be done by you, then you will remit full payment of the invoice. We reserve the right to suspend delivery of all SaaS Services, including maintenance and support services, if you fail to pay an invoice not disputed as described above within fifteen (15) days of notice of our intent to do so.
8 SECTION F – TERM AND TERMINATION
1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement is equal to the number of years indicated for SaaS Services in Exhibit A, commencing on the first day of the first month following the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated as set forth below. If no duration is indicated in Exhibit A, the initial term is one (1) year. Upon expiration of the initial term, this Agreement will renew automatically for additional one (1) year renewal terms at our then-current SaaS Fees unless terminated in writing by either party at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current renewal term. Your right to access or use the Tyler Software and the SaaS Services will terminate at the end of this Agreement.
2. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as set forth below. In the event of termination, you will pay us for all undisputed fees and expenses related to the software, products, and/or services you have received, or we have incurred or delivered, prior to the effective date of termination. Disputed fees and expenses in all terminations other than your termination for cause must have been submitted as invoice disputes in accordance with Section E(2).
2.1 Failure to Pay SaaS Fees. You acknowledge that continued access to the SaaS Services is contingent upon your timely payment of SaaS Fees. If you fail to timely pay the SaaS Fees, we may discontinue the SaaS Services and deny your access to the Tyler Software. We may also terminate this Agreement if you don’t cure such failure to pay within forty-five (45) days of receiving written notice of our intent to terminate.
2.2 For Cause. If you believe we have materially breached this Agreement, you will invoke the Dispute Resolution clause set forth in Section H(3). You may terminate this Agreement for cause in the event we do not cure, or create a mutually agreeable action plan to address, a material breach of this Agreement within the thirty (30) day window set forth in Section H(3).
2.3 Force Majeure. Either party has the right to terminate this Agreement if a Force Majeure event suspends performance of the SaaS Services for a period of forty-five (45) days or more.
2.4 Lack of Appropriations. If you should not appropriate or otherwise make available funds sufficient to utilize the SaaS Services, you may unilaterally terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to us. You will not be entitled to a refund or offset of previously paid, but unused SaaS Fees. You agree not to use termination for lack of appropriations as a substitute for termination for convenience.
SECTION G – INDEMNIFICATION, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INSURANCE
1. Intellectual Property Infringement Indemnification.
1.1 We will defend you against any third party claim(s) that the Tyler Software or Documentation infringes that third party’s patent, copyright, or trademark, or misappropriates its trade secrets, and will pay the amount of any resulting adverse final judgment (or settlement to which we consent). You must notify us promptly in writing of the claim and give us sole control over its defense or settlement. You agree to provide us with reasonable assistance, cooperation, and information in defending the claim at our expense.
9 1.2 Our obligations under this Section G(1) will not apply to the extent the claim or adverse final judgment is based on your use of the Tyler Software in contradiction of this Agreement, including with non-licensed third parties, or your willful infringement.
1.3 If we receive information concerning an infringement or misappropriation claim related to the Tyler Software, we may, at our expense and without obligation to do so, either: (a) procure for you the right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non-infringing; or (c) replace it with a functional equivalent, in which case you will stop running the allegedly infringing Tyler Software immediately. Alternatively, we may decide to litigate the claim to judgment, in which case you may continue to use the Tyler Software consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
1.4 If an infringement or misappropriation claim is fully litigated and your use of the Tyler Software is enjoined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to paying any adverse final judgment (or settlement to which we consent), we will, at our option, either: (a) procure the right to continue its use; (b) modify it to make it non-infringing; or (c) replace it with a functional equivalent. This section provides your exclusive remedy for third party copyright, patent, or trademark infringement and trade secret misappropriation claims.
2. General Indemnification.
2.1 We will indemnify and hold harmless you and your agents, officials, and employees from and against any and all third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) for (a) personal injury or property damage to the extent caused by our negligence or willful misconduct; or (b) our violation of PCI-DSS requirements or a law applicable to our performance under this Agreement. You must notify us promptly in writing of the claim and give us sole control over its defense or settlement. You agree to provide us with reasonable assistance, cooperation, and information in defending the claim at our expense.
2.2 To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify and hold harmless us and our agents, officials, and employees from and against any and all third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) for (a) personal injury or property damage to the extent caused by your negligence or willful misconduct; or (b) your violation of a law applicable to your performance under this Agreement.

13. No Waiver.

Schedule 1
Business Travel Policy
1. Air Travel
A. Reservations & Tickets
The Travel Management Company (TMC) used by Tyler will provide an employee with a direct flight within two hours before or after the requested departure time, assuming that flight does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration and the fare is within $100 (each way) of the lowest logical fare. If a net savings of $200 or more (each way) is possible through a connecting flight that is within two hours before or after the requested departure time and that does not add more than three hours to the employee’s total trip duration, the connecting flight should be accepted.
Employees are encouraged to make advanced reservations to take full advantage of discount opportunities. Employees should use all reasonable efforts to make travel arrangements at least two (2) weeks in advance of commitments. A seven (7) day advance booking requirement is mandatory. When booking less than seven (7) days in advance, management approval will be required.
Except in the case of international travel where a segment of continuous air travel is six (6) or more consecutive hours in length, only economy or coach class seating is reimbursable. Employees shall not be reimbursed for “Basic Economy Fares” because these fares are non-refundable and have many restrictions that outweigh the cost-savings.
B. Baggage Fees
Reimbursement of personal baggage charges are based on trip duration as follows:
• Up to five (5) days = one (1) checked bag
• Six (6) or more days = two (2) checked bags
Baggage fees for sports equipment are not reimbursable.
Exhibit B
Schedule 1
2 2. Ground Transportation
A. Private Automobile
Mileage Allowance – Business use of an employee’s private automobile will be reimbursed at the current IRS allowable rate, plus out of pocket costs for tolls and parking. Mileage will be calculated by using the employee's office as the starting and ending point, in compliance with IRS regulations.
Employees who have been designated a home office should calculate miles from their home.
B. Rental Car
Employees are authorized to rent cars only in conjunction with air travel when cost, convenience, and the specific situation reasonably require their use. When renting a car for Tyler business, employees should select a “mid-size” or “intermediate” car. “Full” size cars may be rented when three or more employees are traveling together. Tyler carries leased vehicle coverage for business car rentals; except for employees traveling to Alaska and internationally (excluding Canada), additional insurance on the rental agreement should be declined.
C. Public Transportation
Taxi or airport limousine services may be considered when traveling in and around cities or to and from airports when less expensive means of transportation are unavailable or impractical. The actual fare plus a reasonable tip (15-18%) are reimbursable. In the case of a free hotel shuttle to the airport, tips are included in the per diem rates and will not be reimbursed separately.
D. Parking & Tolls
When parking at the airport, employees must use longer term parking areas that are measured in days as opposed to hours. Park and fly options located near some airports may also be used. For extended trips that would result in excessive parking charges, public transportation to/from the airport should be considered. Tolls will be reimbursed when receipts are presented.
3. Lodging
Tyler’s TMC will select hotel chains that are well established, reasonable in price, and conveniently located in relation to the traveler's work assignment. Typical hotel chains include Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, Hampton Inn, and Holiday Inn Express. If the employee has a discount rate with a local hotel, the hotel reservation should note that discount and the employee should confirm the lower rate with the hotel upon arrival. Employee memberships in travel clubs such as AAA should be noted in their travel profiles so that the employee can take advantage of any lower club rates. “No shows” or cancellation fees are not reimbursable if the employee does not comply with the hotel’s cancellation policy.
Tips for maids and other hotel staff are included in the per diem rate and are not reimbursed separately.
Exhibit B

Incident Handling
Incident Tracking
Every support incident is logged into Tyler’s Customer Relationship Management System and given a unique case number. This system tracks the history of each incident. The case number is used to track and reference open issues when clients contact support. Clients may track incidents, using the case number, through Tyler’s Customer Portal or by calling software support directly.
Incident Priority
Each incident is assigned a priority level, which corresponds to the Client’s needs. Tyler and the Client will reasonably set the priority of the incident per the chart below. This chart is not intended to address every type of support incident, and certain “characteristics” may or may not apply depending on whether the Tyler software has been deployed on customer infrastructure or the Tyler cloud. The goal is to help guide the Client towards clearly understanding and communicating the importance of the issue and to describe generally expected response and resolution targets in the production environment only.
References to a “confirmed support incident” mean that Tyler and the Client have successfully validated the reported Defect/support incident.

CITY OF FOUNTAIN VALLEY
CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: November 19, 2024
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: 1. Approve the Agreement for Transportation Services with Cabco Yellow Inc. dba California Yellow Cab – Senior Transportation Provider;
2. Allocate $15,000 from the City’s General Fund to Fund the Required 20% Match
THREE-YEAR STRATEGIC GOAL
☒ Enhance the culture and environment of “A Nice Place to Live” ☐ Achieve fiscal stability by evaluating processes, and attract and retain revenue producing businesses/opportunities
☐ Attract and retain quality staff through best practices and trends ☐ Maintain, build, and modernize infrastructure to support growth and future needs of the City
☐ Not applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Fountain Valley offers the “Hop On” Senior Transportation Program through the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Senior Mobility Program (SMP). The Community Services Department recently requested proposals from qualified companies to provide senior transportation services to begin July 1, 2024. Through this process, staff had selected a transportation network company (TNC) that provides on demand transportation, similar to Uber & Lyft, and specifically designed for seniors. However, it was determined that this company did not meet the established OCTA SMP guidelines.
As a result, if selected, the City would not be in compliance for OCTA SMP funding and would be responsible for the total cost of the program. To allow for additional time to explore other funding options, City staff recommends extending the contract with California Yellow Cab for six (6) months with two (2) additional 1-year extensions at the city’s discretion to avoid a lapse in SMP service. The current contract with California Yellow Cab ends on December 31, 2024.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fountain Valley’s “Hop On” Senior Transportation Program provides residents 60 years of age and older with curb-to-curb transportation within the City seven (7) days a week, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The program is an essential service that provides seniors with
California Yellow Cab
November 19, 2024
access to the goods, services, and social contacts that support their day-to-day existence and quality of life.
On July 1, 2019, the City entered into an Agreement with Cabco Yellow Inc. dba California Yellow Cab (CYC) to provide SMP Transportation Services. The initial term of the Agreement was for three (3) years from July 2019 to June 2022, subject to extension administratively for two (2) additional one-year periods, based upon an evaluation of performance of the CYC, with a determination of satisfactory performance by the City. On July 1, 2022, the City entered into the first amendment with CYC and on August 15, 2023, the City entered into the second amendment to provide transportation services for the senior mobility program.
Prior to the agreement expiring on June 30, 2024, City staff procured proposals from qualified companies to provide senior transportation services for the SMP. In an effort to find alternative service delivery models, staff expanded the scope of the RFP guidelines to solicit innovative senior transportation programs. Staff had selected a TNC that provides on demand transportation, utilizing Uber, Lyft and other transportation service providers tailored to seniors. TNC’s provide enhanced features including a 24-hour emergency call center and web based ride scheduling for improved service reliability.
However, it was determined that this company did not meet the established SMP guidelines. As a result, if selected, the City would not be in compliance for funding through OCTA’s Measure M2 Funding and would need to utilize General Fund dollars, approximately $125,000, to cover the total cost of the program. City staff is currently working with OCTA to update the SMP guidelines to allow for utilization of transportation network companies in the future. In addition, City staff is in discussion with two (2) local, independent businesses regarding funding for the TNC program.
Proposals were due on April 25, 2024, and the following were received/scored:
Consultant Score
Cabco Yellow Inc Total Score: 700.00
GoGo Technologies Total Score: 720.00
Uber Technologies, Inc. Total Score: 620.00
City staff recommends it is in the best interest of the Fountain Valley senior population to use a TNC to provide senior transportation services through the “Hop On” Program.
TNC’s provide reliable service tailored specifically to seniors, potential cost savings and expected increased satisfaction with the program outweighs the challenges presented for procuring this new type of service. The current contract with California Yellow Cab ends on December 31, 2024. To avoid a lapse in service of the transportation program, staff recommends awarding a contract to California Yellow Cab for 6 months with two (2) oneyear extensions (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2027). Included in the agreement is a clause that states, “CITY may at any time, for any reason, with or without cause, suspend or terminate this AGREEMENT, of any portion hereof, by serving CONSULTANT at least
California Yellow Cab
November 19, 2024
thirty (30) days prior” in the event that the transportation network company becomes a viable option during the terms of agreement with CABCO.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
In 2006, OCTA M2 was approved by local voters and is Orange County’s half-cent sales tax for transportation improvements, including Project U, which provides funding for seniors/disabled persons. One percent of net sales tax revenue is allocated to participating cities based upon the percentage of the senior population of the city as determined by the most current decennial Census information. Measure M2 covers 80% of the cost of the “Hop On” Senior Transportation Program. The City’s required match of 20% has been covered by an agreement with MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center (MCOCMC), which has since concluded, and co-pay fares paid by the rider. From July 2023-June 2024, the HOP ON Senior Transpiration Program had a total of 5,937 trips. At the current rate of $17.50 per trip, the total trip cost was $103,898. The table below examines the proposed increased rates, for the same amount of trips and time period, and the total cost for each year. Beginning with the execution of this contract, the City will be responsible for the OCTA M2 required 20% match.
Jan 1, 2025-June 30, 2025 July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026 July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027 Rate $18.50 x 2,969 Trips $20.00 x 5,937 Trips $22.50 x 5,937 Trips Total $54,926.50 $118,740.00 $133,582.50
20% Match $10,985.30 $23,748.00 $26,716.50
The approved budget for the 2024/2025 transportation program is $88,000 in the General Fund. This budget amount was only intended to cover the extension of California Yellow Cab through December 31, 2024. Staff requests a budget amendment of $75,000 in the General Fund Senior Transportation Professional Services for a total budget amount of $163,000. These services are funded 80% through a reimbursement from Measure M SMP funds. A budget amendment is also required for the Measure M funds of $50,400, bringing the total Measure M SMP transfer budget to $130,400. As of June 30, 2024, the current balance of SMP funds was approximately $270,300. The remaining 20%, or $32,600, is covered by the General Fund.

9. DEFAULT OF CONSULTANT
(a) CONSULTANT's failure to comply with the provisions of this AGREEMENT shall constitute a default. In the event that CONSULTANT is in default for cause under the terms of this AGREEMENT, CITY shall have no obligation or duty to continue compensating CONSULTANT for any work performed after the date of default and can terminate this AGREEMENT immediately by written notice to CONSULTANT.

(b) As an alternative to the procedure for immediate termination for default set forth in subparagraph (a), if CITY determines that CONSULTANT is in default in the performance of any of the terms or conditions of this AGREEMENT, CITY may in its discretion cause to be served upon CONSULTANT a written notice of the default and demand to cure. CONSULTANT shall have ten (10) calendar days after service upon it of said notice to cure the default by rendering a satisfactory performance.

10. OWNERSHIP OF DOCUMENTS

All such records shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and shall be clearly identified and readily accessible. CONSULTANT shall provide free access to the representatives of CITY or its designees at reasonable times to such books and records; shall give CITY the right to examine and audit said books and records; shall permit CITY to make copies and transcripts therefrom as necessary; and shall allow inspection of all work, data, documents, proceedings,
and activities related to this AGREEMENT. Such records, together with supporting documents, shall be maintained for a period of three (3) years after receipt of final payment.

With respect to computer files, CONSULTANT shall make available to CITY, at CONSULTANT's office and upon reasonable written request by CITY, the necessary computer software and hardware for purposes of accessing, compiling, transferring, and printing computer files.
11. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) Indemnification for Professional Liability. When the law establishes a professional standard of care for CONSULTANT’s services, to the fullest extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, protect, defend, and hold harmless CITY and any and all of its officials, employees, and agents (“INDEMNIFIED PARTIES”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses, including attorney’s fees and costs to the extent the same are caused in whole or in part by any negligent or wrongful act, error, or omission of CONSULTANT, its officers, agents, employees, or subconsultants (or any entity or individual that CONSULTANT shall bear the legal liability thereof) in the performance of professional services under this AGREEMENT. With respect to the design of public improvements, CONSULTANT shall not be liable for any injuries or property damage resulting from the reuse of the design at a location other than that specified in this AGREEMENT without the written consent of CONSULTANT. With respect to the duty to defend, if CONSULTANT is a design professional as defined in Civil Code Section 2782.8, in no event shall the cost to defend charged to the CONSULTANT exceed the CONSULTANT’s proportionate percentage of fault. However, notwithstanding the previous sentence, in the event one or more defendants in a suit is unable to pay its share of defense costs due to bankruptcy or dissolution of the business, the CONSULTANT shall meet and confer with other parties regarding unpaid defense costs.
(b) Indemnification for Other Than Professional Liability. Other than in the performance of professional services and to the full extent permitted by law, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless CITY, and any and all of its employees, officials, and agents from and against any liability (including liability for claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, losses, expenses, or costs of any kind, whether actual, alleged, or threatened, including attorneys fees and costs, court costs, interest, defense costs, and expert witness fees), where the same arise out of, are a consequence of, or are in any way attributable to, in whole or in part, the performance of this AGREEMENT by CONSULTANT or by any individual or entity for which CONSULTANT is legally liable, including but not limited to officers, agents, employees, or subconsultants of CONSULTANT.
(c) General Indemnification Provisions. CONSULTANT agrees to obtain executed indemnity agreements with provisions identical to those set forth here in this section from each and every subconsultant or any other person or entity
involved by, for, with or on behalf of CONSULTANT in the performance of this AGREEMENT. In the event CONSULTANT fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required here, CONSULTANT agrees to be fully responsible according to the terms of this section. Failure of CITY to monitor compliance with these requirements imposes no additional obligations on CITY and will in no way act as a waiver of any rights hereunder. This obligation to indemnify and defend CITY as set forth here is binding on the successors, assigns, or heirs of CONSULTANT and shall survive the termination of this AGREEMENT or this section. Nothing in this indemnity shall be construed as authorizing any award of attorney’s fees in any action on or to enforce the terms of this Indemnity or AGREEMENT. This indemnity shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable.
(d) Indemnity Provisions for Contracts Related to Construction. This paragraph applies only when this AGREEMENT is related to construction. Without affecting the rights of CITY under any provision of this AGREEMENT, CONSULTANT shall not be required to indemnify and hold harmless CITY for liability attributable to the active negligence of CITY, provided such active negligence is determined by agreement between the parties or by the findings of a court of competent jurisdiction. In instances where CITY is shown to have been actively negligent and where CITY’s active negligence accounts for only a percentage of the liability involved, the obligation of CONSULTANT will be for that entire portion or percentage of liability not attributable to the active negligence of CITY.
12. INSURANCE

If any GOODS do not meet the warranty, CITY may, at CITY’s option, and without additional cost to CITY:
(1) Require CONSULTANT to repair or replace the GOODS until the GOODS meet the warranty. If CONSULTANT cannot replace the GOODS and repair either is not commercially practicable or cannot be made within three (3) days, CONSULTANT will refund the purchase price;
(2) Return any of the GOODS to CONSULTANT at CONSULTANT’s expense for a full refund;

addition to the indemnification provisions of Section 11, CONSULTANT shall indemnify, defend, and hold CITY harmless from claims or liability arising from CONSULTANT’s employees for CITY benefits including, but not limited to, pension, health benefits, holiday, vacations, etc.

No officer or employee of the CITY will receive compensation, directly or indirectly, from CONSULTANT, or from any officer, employee, or agent of CONSULTANT, in connection with the award of this AGREEMENT or any work to be conducted as a result of this AGREEMENT.

No member, officer, or employee of CITY, or their designees or agents, and no public official who exercises authority over or responsibilities with respect to the project during his/her tenure or for one year thereafter, shall have any interest, direct or indirect, in any agreement or sub-agreement, or the proceeds thereof, for work to be performed in connection with this AGREEMENT.
19. RELEASE OF INFORMATION / CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
(a) All information gained by CONSULTANT in performance of this AGREEMENT shall be considered confidential and shall not be released by CONSULTANT without CITY’s prior written authorization.
