ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
Transdev previously held a contract with The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company (Goodyear) for tire lease and services. RTA utilizes a tire lease program that bases the rates off the type of tire and size of the tire. Goodyear also is responsible for wheel refurbishment and servicing the tires on revenue vehicles. The board previously authorized the Chief Executive Officer to approve a one-year month-to-month contract with Goodyear.

DISCUSSION:
RTA has completed a competitive IFB (invitation for bid) process. After RTA Transit Maintenance Staff assessed the organizations maintenance needs and bid options, it has been determined that Goodyear Tire & Rubber still offers the best overall option for the RTA. The contract will be managed by the Transit Maintenance department. The contract terms would be for 3 years with two one-year options for renewal.
The tire lease program will support our revenue service vehicles. Currently this consists of 134 fixed route buses and 49 paratransit vehicles. The program will ensure we have safe and reliable tires for our transit system, as well as provide compliance with safety and environmental monitoring.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Estimated cost for this is $ 772,575.05 the first year with incremental increases not to exceed $4,071,611 over a five-year period. Funding for this will be available from the Fixed Route Account:
Buses - 1430002.8100.03101
Para Vehicles - 1450006.8100.03105
NEXT STEPS:
Upon RTA Board approval, staff will assign a purchase order as needed.
