G?? <br />LEE COUNTY <br />Committed Today for a Better Tomorrow <br />LEE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ITEM ABSTRACT ITEM NO. II. F. <br />_ Information <br />Meeting Date: January 4, 2010 Action Item <br />XX Consent Agenda <br />SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement for COLTS Software <br />DEPARTMENT: Lee County Senior Services <br />CONTACT PERSON: Debbie Davidson, Senior Services Director <br />REQUEST: Approve Interlocal Agreement for the procurement of Automated <br />Demand Response and Para Transit Scheduling and Routing Software <br />SUMMARY: The Rowan County Transit System has taken the lead in the RFP <br />(Request for Proposal) process to secure bids from vendors for future software needs for North <br />Carolina Transit Systems. The County of Lee has been invited to participate in this process in the <br />event a new software program is needed within the next 5 years. To date, COLTS is providing an <br />average of 255 trips per day and the current TRIP Maker program, which is provided at no charge <br />through ITRE (Institute of Transportation and Research Education) at N.C. State University, can <br />handle this load. If the time comes when COLTS reaches an average of 300 trips per day, a more <br />in depth software package will be needed. <br />This agreement does not obligate Lee County to purchase anything, however, in the event a <br />purchase is needed, we may participate in the current vendor selection that will be approved by <br />the NC Department of Transportation. <br />BUDGET IMPACT: N/A <br />ATTACHMENT(S): Interlocal Agreement with Rowan County <br />PUBLIC HEARING: No <br />PRIOR BOARD ACTION: N/A <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve Interlocal Agreement with Rowan County as presented. <br />
