AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A
CONTRACT WITH CARE-A-VAN, INC. ,
FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING PARATRANSIT
SERVICES TO DISABLED AND ELDERLY CITIZENS
OF THE FORT COLLINS URBAN GROWTH AREA
FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 1993, TO
DECEMBER 31, 1993
WHEREAS, the City has contracted with Care-A-Van, Inc. , for many years to
provide paratransit services for persons with disabilities and seniors and for
the operation of the City's SAINT Volunteer Transportation Program; and
WHEREAS, the cost of providing these services has increased beyond original
expectations because of the increase in demand for services, the requirements of
the Americans with Disabilities Act and increases in Care-A-Van operating
expenses; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to enter into a contract with Care-A-Van, Inc. ,
to procure $138,122 worth of paratransit services for the period of July 1, 1993,
to December 31, 1993; and
WHEREAS, sufficient funds have been previously appropriated and are
available for that purpose; and
WHEREAS, Section 8-160(d)(1)(b) of the City Code provides that a contract
for services may be awarded without competition if the Purchasing Agent
determines in writing that, although there exists more than one responsible
source, a competitive process cannot reasonably be used or, if used, will result
in a substantially higher cost to the City, will otherwise injure the City's
financial interest or will substantially impede the City's administrative
functions for the delivery of services to the public; and
WHEREAS, the City's Purchasing Agent has determined in writing that the
contract to provide the needed paratransit services should be awarded to Care-A-
Van, Inc. , without a competitive process because the use of a competitive process
will substantially impede the City's administrative functions and the delivery
of these services to the public; and
WHEREAS, Section 8-160(d) (3) of the City Code requires the City Manager to
submit all procurements under subsection (d) of such section which exceed the
cost of $50,000 to the City Council in an open meeting for approval ; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has approved this procurement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
that the City Manager is authorized to enter into a contract with Care-A-Van,
Inc. , in the amount of One Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand One Hundred Twenty-Two
Dollars ($138,122) to provide paratransit services to disabled persons and
elderly citizens in the City of Fort Collins Urban Growth Area for the period of

services without the use of a competitive process.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of the City of ort
