L.1., File # 22-5189 Meeting Date: 1/17/2023
A new fee to the Community Services Department Fees is requested to allow and issue permits for the bicycle lockers located at the new Redondo Beach Transit Center (RBTC). The RBTC includes twelve bicycle lockers available for bike storage. Locker permit and security key deposit fees must be established, as well as policies and procedures. Staff has reviewed various transit bicycle locker fees and agreements in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, and recommends rates similar to industry permit/rental periods and rates. The fees will be reflected in the proposed master fee schedule update.
The Transit Division will manage and provide customer services for the bicycle locker storage program. The bicycle locker storage requests and agreements will be reviewed and approved by Transit Division staff, who will accept payments, track permit periods, issue renewal notices, manage waiting lists, and perform related duties of the program. The attached resolution authorizes the Transit Manager or designee, to sign the agreements.
The bicycle locker storage agreement template defines the permit terms and rules, and includes City standard agreement terms, including:
· Locker Usage
· Locker and Security Deposit Fees
· Permit Period and Renewal Process
· Locker Maintenance Requirements
· City Inspection Rights
· Assumption of Risk
· Indemnification
· Termination
· Abandoned Property Procedures
