ATTACHMENT A G City of Phoenix “OFFICE OF THE CITY COUNCIL June 16, 2020 Kate Gallego Mayor City of Phoenix Re: Confirmation of Transdev Join Venture Structure with regards to Fixed Route Transit Services for North and south Transit Facilities in the City of Phoenix Dear Mayor Gallego, The current contract with Transdev for the Fixed Route Transit Services for North and South Transit Facilities involves an innovative joint venture partnership with community partners Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc., Opportunities Industrialization Center, and small minority business owners. The city of Phoenix previously renewed or extended contracts for these transit services at least twice, and these partnerships were a significant element of the scoring for contract award in each case. Moreover, Transdev itself has represented to us directly how meaningful this joint venture partnership and the community partners in it have been in our prior discussion regarding the renewal of the contract for this Fixed Route Transit Services for North and South Transit Facilities in the City of Phoenix. When the City Council approved the renewal with Transdev of this contact beginning July 1, 2020, we understood that this joint venture partnership continued to remain in place, as has been the case over the last few renewals, based on Transdev’s representations to Mayor and Council which specifically mentioned Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc. and Opportunities Industrialization Center as community partners with Transdev in providing the transit services for this contract renewal. We are looking for confirmation that what was represented to us is, in fact, still the case. We request that you place the following agenda item, “Confirmation from Transdev of its Joint Venture Partnership Structure with regards to Fixed Route Transit Service for North and South Transit Facilities in the City of Phoenix”, on the Formal Council Meeting agenda, Wednesday, June 17,2020. We are concerned that there have been misrepresentations made to the City Council and City Administrative Staff with regards to the renewal of the contract and would like confirmation from Transdev that the conditions of their contract award are being met as represented to Mayor and Council prior to the vote of May 6, 2020. Sincerely, Sincerely, Sincerely, Webdieot Di —— puichatl Marlatt Betty Guardado Sal DiCiccio Michael Nowakowski Vice Mayor, Phoenix District 5 Councilman, Phoenix District 6 | Councilman, Phoenix District 7 200 West Washington Street, 11m Floor, Phoenix, Arizona 85003 council. district. 5@phoenix.gov council. district.6@phoenix.gov council. district.7@phoenix.gov Page 325
