Contract: Mobile App Vendor for Fare Collection (Masabi LLC)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve award and authorize the Executive Director to execute the contract and associated disbursements with Masabi LLC.
BACKGROUND:
In 2017, UTA partnered with Passport to launch the GoRide mobile ticketing application. UTA has continued to use the GoRide application since the launch in 2017. However, on 9/28/21 Passport gave UTA notice they will no longer be supporting their mobile app for transit agencies. To allow time to find a replacement vendor, Passport agreed to extend the current contract 16-1624PP with UTA until 12/31/22. This extension provided UTA time to complete an RFP to find a new vendor. The RFP is complete and Masabi LLC’s proposal has been selected as the best value to UTA. If approved for award, Masabi will provide an interim mobile application until the Electronic Fare Collection System Replacement Project (currently in the RFP process) is completed.
DISCUSSION:
This is an interim contract to replace the current contract with Passport which expires at the end of this year. This will allow UTA customers to have access to pay fares through a mobile app while UTA procures a second-generation Electronic Fare Collection System. Masabi will be able to submit a proposal for the Electronic Fare Collection System RFP if they choose to do so. This is a one-year contract with one additional option year to be exercised in UTA’s sole discretion.
