Re: Resolution 12-24 Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for Shuttle Services
for the Dublin Irish Festival
Summary
On March 4, one bid was received and publicly opened for Shuttle Services for the Dublin Irish
Festival. This is the first year staff has formally bid this project, as previous years’ costs fell below
the minimum bidding threshold of $75,000.
This project encompasses shuttles for both patrons and volunteers of the festival. The company
will also have staff onsite at pickup locations to control the lines of people waiting to board the
shuttles. They will provide two accessible shuttles that will be utilized throughout the festival as
needed.
The bid was advertised and staff received multiple enquiries but only one bid was received from
Creative Coach Company for $78,500, which is approximately 7% below the $84,000 budgeted
amount.
Recommendation
Staff has thoroughly reviewed the bid submitted by the Creative Coach Company and determined it
to be a complete and acceptable cost to perform the specified work for this project. Previous
experience with the Creative Coach Company has been favorable at past Irish Festivals.
Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 12-24 accepting the lowest and best bid from the
Creative Coach Company in an amount of $78,500, and authorizing the City Manager to enter into
a three-year contract with Creative Coach Company for this Project.
