Title
A Motion to Direct Staff to Explore Other Bike Sharing Alternatives
End
Overview
Overview
Trustees Andrews and Button have requested staff explore the feasibility of a new contractor for bike sharing.
Body
Staff Recommendation
Approval.
Fiscal Impact
Administrative staff time will be necessary to explore the options and prepare a recommendation for Village Board consideration.
Background
The Village Board's adopted protocols provide that direction from the Village Board is necessary when elected officials requests will request in more than one-two hours of staff time to develop a work product. Therefore, staff is seeking Board authority to allocate administrative time to evaluate bike sharing option available in the marketplace and develop a competitive request for proposals (RFP) in order to solicit vendors. Subject to the review and analysis of responses to an RFP, staff could bring forward a recommendation to the Village Board in Q3 of 2018.
Alternatives
The Board could determine it does not wish to further pursue bike sharing this fiscal year and delay consideration until the annual budget process.
Previous Board Action
On February 16, 2016, an Intergovernmental agreement between the City of Chicago and the Village of Oak Park was authorized to implement the Bike Sharing System generally referred to as the Divvy Program.
On November 27, 2017 the Board held a discussion as part of the FY18 budget process to review the Divvy Program; specifically its cost and program value.
On January 16, 2018, the Board decided to not renew the contract with Motivate the operator of the Divvy system.
