Fare Agreement: Transportation Services Contract Amendment 2 (State of Utah Department of Health and Human Services / Division of Services for People with Disabilities)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute Amendment No. 2 to the State of Utah Department of Health and Human Services / Division of Services for People with Disabilities contract to extend the term until September 30, 2023 and increase rates for trip reimbursement.
BACKGROUND:
UTA has a long-standing agreement with the Division of Services for People with Disabilities under the State of Utah Dept of Health and Human Services to provide paratransit trips for eligible DSPD riders with eligible trip purposes. These trips are reimbursed to UTA at a negotiated rate with federal Medicaid funding. UTA pays the local “seed” amount (equivalent to local matching funds). The existing contract with DHS/DSPD was approved by the board on July 10, 2019. No state funds are included in this agreement.
DISCUSSION:
This existing agreement expired on June 30th. This request is to extend the agreement until September 30, 2023. This contract extension will allow continued service for DSPD riders with a modest increase in UTA revenue while allowing time for UTA to continue negotiations for much larger rate as proposed in 2020.
Contract revenue is based on utilization.
