Order, Amending the Memorandum of Understanding Between City of Bangor and Penquis CAP for Paratransit
Services
This Order would extend the term of the Memorandum of Understanding for paratransit services between the City of
Bangor and Penquis.
In 2006, Penquis began providing ADA paratransit services for the City of Bangor under a transportation services
agreement. In February 2018, while going through an extended RFP process for paratransit services, the City and
Penquis entered into a temporary Memorandum of Understanding. Under this MOU, Penquis continued to provide
paratransit services until June 30, 2018.
Penquis submitted the sole response to the paratransit service RFP, with a number of conditions. As a result of the city
becoming a direct recipient, it was necessary to bid the service. There are a number of federal requirements that
needed to be included in the bid process. Penquis and the City have been working through these requirements to see if
Penquis will be able to provide this service. This process has been time-consuming largely because of the number and
scope of federal requirements involved. As a result, Penquis and the City need additional time to determine whether
Penquis will be able to provide ADA paratransit services.
This Council Order would extend the existing Memorandum of Understanding for three months, until September 30,
2018. As rates have remained almost unchanged since 2006, Penquis has asked for an increase in rates as follows:
Per passenger: from $8.89 to $12.00, PLUS:
Agency van trip: from $1.87 per passenger mile to $2.39
Volunteer driver: from $0.36 per vehicle mile to $0.44
Taxicab: actual cost
Recommend for passage
This Order will require a Suspension of the Rules to be placed on the agenda.
