Staff informed Council at the May 22 meeting that
negotiations were underway with Aztec Bus Lines regarding
costs and service provision for the second year (i.e., FY
1979-80) of the current two-year City/Aztec contract
effective July 1, 1978. Agreement between staff and Aztec
has been reached based on the guidelines established in the
original two-year contract to determine costs for service
provision in FY 1979-80. Funds for this contract have been
included in the FY 1979-80 preliminary budget which was
reviewed and approved by Council on May 15.
The total cost of service during FY 1979-80 is estimated to
be $770,302 or $1.534/mile for provision of 502,120 miles.
Thus total costs would increase 21~ (from $534,618 in FY
1979 to $770,307_ in FY 1980), costs per mile would increase
14~ (f_rom $1.349/mile in FY 1979 to $1.534/mile in FY 1980)
and mileage increases T~ (from 470,19?_ service miles in FY
1979 to 502,120 service miles in FY 1980).

Staff has estimated that the City will owe Aztec an
estimated $3,150 for inflated gas prices paid by Aztec
during FY 1979 CVT operation due under the terms of the
current contract. Based on the first nine months of this
fiscal year the San Diego CPI has been projected to be 15~
for FY 1979. Under the current contract the City will owe
A~fiec an additional estimated $17,300 which is the
difference between a ~~ inflation factor already worked into
the contract and the projected 15$ San Diego CPI Index for
FY1979. Thus a 10% inflation factor would be applied only
to the following costs of Aztec in operating CVT during FY
1979.
- Garage Expemse and Equipment
- Tire Expense
- Oil Expense
- General and Administrative Expenses
- Station and,Traffic Expenses
~~3
Verification of both actual gas prices paid by Aztec and the
FY1979 San Diego CPI Index will be made by staff in the
first quarter of FY 1980 and the appropriate amounts due
Aztec under the terms of the current agreement will be paid
to them in the second quarter.
Due to the increase in service frequency on Route I, as
discussed at the May ?_2.',Council meeting, Aztec will provide
eight buses (rather than seven in FY 1979) for regular
service and four spare units for FY 1980 CVT operation. Two
new sections have been added to the FY 1980 contract, as
follows:
1. "Upon acquisition by the City of its own buses and
radios in FY 1980 ,'the costs associated with the lease
of buses and radios by the City from the Bus Company as
detailed i.n the contract shall be appropriately
adjusted. Vehicles acquired by City shall be subject to
reasonable approval by Bus Company prior to purchase by
City. Prior to construction of proposed City transit
maintenance facility, all costs associated with Bus
Company maintenance of proposed City-owned CVT vehicles
in FY 1980 as detailed in the contract shall be
appropriately adjusted."
2. "All rights and responsibilities of Bus Company under
this agreement may be assigned by the City to the
proposed South Bay''Transit Joint Powers Agency (7PA)."
This FY 1980 Aztec/City agreement would automatically
transfer over to the JPA upon official execution of both the
JPA agreement and a transit service contract between the

City, County, with the JPA. Finally, the FY 1979-80
Aztec/City Agreement carries over the following section from
the original 24-month agreement signed in September, 1978:
"It is the intent of both parties to renegotiate a
contract for bus service operation from July 1,
1980, to June 30, 1981, as soon as possible after
FY 1979 service has been provided."
