1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Service to modify a service contract with Rubicon Global LLC for the provision of GPS tracking and route diagnostics for the Division of Refuse Collection fleet. This a planned contract modification.
The aforementioned project allows the Division of Refuse Collection to maximize efficiencies and to assess streets for pot holes, illegal dumping, and other street maintenance, as the vehicles travel around their assigned routes.
Rubicon is a proprietary, on-demand routing solution that interfaces with existing routing software systems Lucity and GIS. The process enhances efficiencies for the Division of Refuse Collection creating a streamlined option to develop optimized bulk collection and container management routes each day. Drivers receive the routing instructions through iPhones leased by Rubicon Global LLC, and the routes are developed through an online portal that will pull in all relevant information for that day. The phones also allow the drivers to take before and after pictures to confirm service.
The initial term of this contract was for three years with the option of two one-year renewals. Public Service and the Division of Refuse Collection would like to renew the contract to continue this service for year three of the contract and add funds in the amount of up to $134,160.00 to pay for these additional services.
