SUBJECT: Proposed Contracts for Transit System
DATE: June 13, 1997
The City, through a number of contract amendments and extensions, has contracted with
McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. to provide its transit services since 1979. The current
contract extension is set to expire on June 30, 1997, although the City has an option to
renew on the same terms and conditions as the existing contract for an additional two (2)
years. It is proposed that a new contract, entitled "Contract to Establish and Operate
Transit Service" be entered into. The following is a summary of the main features of the
proposed contract.
• The contract is between the City, McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. ("McDT")
and Bayshore Transit Management, Inc. ("BTM"). McDT is a Texas corporation;
BTM is a California corporation, which serves as the employer of National City -
based transit employees, excluding the Resident Manager, who is employed by
McDT.
• The scope of services is to operate and manage a motor bus transit system, acting
through a Resident Manager.
• The term is for five (5) years, with McDT and BTM having the option to extend
at each one (1) year anniversary, effectively establishing a continuous five (5) year
term. The City may terminate the contract for the following reasons:
- If TDA funding is eliminated or reduced.
- For convenience upon one (1) year's notice.
• Costs of operating the transit system, and compensation paid to McDT for
operating the transit system, are controlled through a City -approved budget. Costs
of operating the system are funded by the City solely from Transportation
Development Act (TDA) funding.

• Fare revenue shall be paid to the City.
• McDT and BTM will furnish an annual audit of its operations.
• McDT shall furnish fidelity and surety bonds for its employees.
• BTM shall indemnify and provide insurance coverage for liability to the City
arising from the performance of the contract by McDT or BTM.
• McDT and BTM agree not to acquire any interest in conflict with its performance
of services for National City.
In previous years, McDonald Transit occupied a temporary "facility" at the Public
Works Yard on Hoover Avenue. Recently, a new facility was acquired at 522 West 8th
Street. It is proposed that the respective rights and responsibilities of the City, McDonald
Transit, and Bayshore Transit in the use of the facility be memorialized in a "Mainte-
nance and Operating Agreement." The following is a summary of the main features of
this agreement.
• The premises are the real property and improvements at 522 West 8th Street.
• The term is the same as with the "Contract to Establish and Operate Transit
Service." If that contract terminates, the "Maintenance and Operating Agreement"
terminates automatically.
• McDT shall pay the City, as consideration for the use of the facility, $84,000
annually, subject to a minimum upward only adjustment of 5 % per year, or the
adjustment caused by application of the Consumer Price Index, whichever is
greater. Consideration is payable solely from TDA funds.
• McDT and BTM are responsible for maintenance and repair.
• The City shall insure the real property; McDT and BTM shall insure all personal
property.
• The City may terminate the agreement upon ninety (90) days' notice if the
property is needed for a public or municipal purpose other than for bus storage and
maintenance, or for convenience upon one (1) year's notice, or for default.

premises if caused by McDT or BTM's operations.
