The Cultural & Community Services Department has been satisfied with the services provided <br />by Academy Bus, LLC. Last year, Academy Bus, LLC significantly increased its fees. <br />This year, they are requesting an increase of 5%to the base price. In addition, we would still be required <br />to pay the additional fuel fee of 7.5% and the Safety Compliance Fee, which equates to $120 per hour. <br />Due to the increased amount, we contacted the second lowest bidder, Florida Tours, and they are now <br />charging $130 per hour. <br />At this time, we wish to exercise the city's third renewal option from May 25, 2024, and renew the <br />contract through May 25, 2025. The total cost of the renewal will be a not -to -exceed amount of <br />$95,000. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />The expenses for this item are covered through programming fees. <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />Funding is budgeted for and available in the general fund for the Summer Camp, Winter Camp, Spring <br />Break Camp, Athletics Camp, and Junior Lifeguard Camp. <br />Item Number: 10.A <br />
