Any unused vehicles hours in each month will be automatically rolled over to the following month, up to a maximum of 50 hours. If [VENDOR] wishes to roll over more than 50 unused hours to the next month, [VENDOR] must submit a written request to the City for approval at least 3 working days before the start of the following month. Approval of any rollover more than 50 hours shall be at the City’s sole discretion.
The above per vehicle hour amounts include and account for fixed costs incurred in the provision of the services. Such costs will be treated as a pass-through and identified in the invoice statement provided to The City for transparency, but does not constitute an increase in the per vehicle hour rate amounts set forth above. Examples of these costs may include, but are not limited to (i) fuel, (ii) vehicle cleaning, and/or (iii) the portion of a Driver Partner's compensation which corresponds to their vehicle rental costs.
[VENDOR] will also charge The City a monthly fee related to parking costs for vehicle storage, which will be treated as a pass-through.
Notwithstanding the number of vehicle hours incurred per month, the City shall be responsible for a minimum Monthly Subscription Fee of $30,000 per month (the “ Minimum Monthly Fees”). In the event that the Monthly Subscription Fees for any month exceed the Minimum Monthly Fees paid hereunder, the Customer shall be responsible for paying such difference (the “Monthly True- up”) up to the maximum vehicles hours on a monthly invoice basis. All fees set forth herein shall be payable by the City on a net thirty basis. For purposes of clarity, the Minimum Monthly Fees do not represent an additional charge on top of the Ongoing Monthly Fees.
[VENDOR] will provide The City with an invoice statement showing the calculation of the Monthly Subscription Fees incurred based on the actual number of vehicle hours that Driver Partners performed including the vehicle storage fee during that month in the form attached hereto as Appendix A, Sample Invoice, of the TAAS. Invoices must contain all information required by Attachment 3
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA) for the Transit & Intercity Rail Capital Program (TIRCP) grant, facilitating the timely preparation of reimbursement requests. The City hereby agrees that the sample invoice format set forth on Appendix A plus all the information required above is satisfactory to The City, and sufficient to process invoicing such that questions regarding invoice or invoice support format will not delay payment to [VENDOR].
Upon completion of the Program, [VENDOR] must submit a requisition for final and complete payment of costs and pending claims for City approval within thirty (30) days. Failure to timely submit a complete and accurate payment requisition relieves The City any further payment or other obligations under the Services Agreement and this Order.
Fare Revenue
The City shall collect and own all revenue from service fares, net of service fees, starting upon launch of the Program. All fare revenue processed through the city smartphone application and through [VENDOR], shall be remitted to the City in accordance with this Order. The fare for the service is documented in Section 2.3 of the TAAS.
