RE: ILA CARTS/City of Round Rock;
Resolution No. R -10-10-28-10E6
Dear Mr. Marsh:
As you may recall, by letter dated October 6, 2011, the City of Round Rock agreed and
accepted CARTS' offer to extend the above-described ILA on a month-to-month basis up
to the end of calendar year 2011.
As a result of the upcoming termination of the ILA, the City is actively pursuing the
selection of an alternative service provider. However, it is anticipated that the City will
not be able to begin operations with a new service provider prior to June 1, 2012.
Therefore, the City requests that the ILA be extended on a month-to-month basis to May
31, 2012, or until the new service provider begins operations, whichever first occurs.
If CARTS finds this request to be acceptable, please sign the acknowledgment below and
return a copy to me.
Sincerely,
Alan McGraw
Mayor

Item Summary:
The City and Capital Area Rural Transportation System (CARTS) recently executed a holdover letter for Demand
Response Bus Service through December 31, 2011. CARTS verbally agreed to extend the contract on a month-to-
month basis until the new third party provider can begin service. The current schedule indicates the new service
provider will be ready to provide bus service in May 2012, but the City has two opportunities to compress the
schedule. The City will request TxDOT to expedite adding the Demand Response Bus Service to the State
Transportation Improvement Program and negotiate with the vendor to accelerate the startup schedule.
