Expenditure: $19,293.51 (Non-General Fund).
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the Transit Director that City Council approve a first amendment to a contract services agreement with Transit Solutions, LLC (DBA TSI Video Surveillance) of Zelienople, PA (C2025-295), in the amount of $19,293.51, for a new total not-to-exceed amount of $1,043,956.87, to supply, install and maintain passenger awareness monitors on Torrance Transit buses, and to include installation of the on-board video surveillance system on one (1) additional bus.
FUNDING
Funding is available from Transit’s Federal Transit Administration 5307 Grant CA-2025-166 (GRTTR0017).
DISCUSSION
On November 14th, 2024, the City of Torrance released a Request for Proposal (RFP B2024-13) via PlanetBids to supply, install and maintain an on-board video surveillance system on 63 Torrance Transit buses and 10 trolley buses. On December 16, 2025, the contract was awarded to Transit Solutions, LLC, of Zelienople, PA, with the term of two (2) years, ending on December 1, 2027.
The First Amendment to the contract is asking for installation of a Passenger Awareness Monitor, which will enhance safety of our bus operators and the public riding our buses. The Passenger Awareness Monitor was included in the RFP scope as an optional equipment item. The monitor will serve as a reminder for riders that they are being recorded onboard Torrance Transit’s revenue buses. Additionally, the amendment is requesting installation of the on-board surveillance system on one (1) additional bus, for a total of 64 buses and 10 trolleys.
Torrance Transit will be utilizing Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 5307 Urbanized Area Formula Grant CA-2025-166 for the additional video surveillance equipment. The total project cost remains within budget of the awarded grant.
