Fare Agreement: Ski Bus Service - Amendment 2 (Davis County)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendment 2 and authorize Executive Director to execute the Ski Bus Agreement with Davis County.
BACKGROUND:
Utah Transit Authority and Davis County (“the County”) have a longstanding relationship to promote the sustainability and growth of the Ski Bus Service. For the past 20 plus years, the resort and UTA have contracted together to provide transit service to Employees and Ski Pass holders. On December 4, 2019 the board approved and Davis County entered into a Ski Bus Service Agreement with UTA for the 2019-2020 ski season and included three (3) one-year options to renew the contract.
For the 2020-21 Ski Season, Davis County and UTA executed Amendment 1 for the first renewal year (approved by the board on December 2, 2020).
In past agreements, Davis and Morgan Counties paid 100 percent of the Ski Bus Service operating costs. More recently, an allocation methodology was agreed to resulting in 93 percent of the operating costs being assigned to Davis County. The cost to Davis County was $82,025 for each of the 2019-2020 and the 2020-2021 ski seasons.
In an effort to introduce consistency to its Ski Bus Service Contracts, this year UTA is proposing to pay 60 percent of the operating costs for this service, with Morgan and Davis Counties splitting the remaining 40 percent based on the existing cost allocation methodology. The resulting 2021-22 contract cost to Davis County will be $37,373.
DISCUSSION:
UTA and Davis County have agreed to renew the contract terms found in section one of the contract for the 2021-22 Ski Season. This is the second renewal option that Davis County has exercised (one remains). Davis County will fund a portion of the operating cost of the ski bus service between Layton FrontRunner Station and Snowbasin Ski Resort. UTA will provide EFC Passes to be used by Resort Employees and Season Pass Holders on Ogden Ski Bus Service.
