Board approves two RiverNorth Transit amendments to finish pilot year and extend service into next year
Summary
Evansville approved two amendments to its RiverNorth Transit microtransit pilot: a $67,301 addition to cover the final month (total $910,437) and a separate $843,000 addition to extend the pilot into next year (total $1,758,508).
The board approved two related amendments to the RiverNorth Transit LLC microtransit pilot contract.
For item C, the board approved Amendment No. 1 to add one month to the pilot for $67,301, increasing the contract total to $910,437. "This is adding $67,000 to that original contract to cover the month of December," said Mister Sivikin, who explained the contractor bills monthly on ridership and the amendment lets the pilot complete a full year.
For item D, the board approved a larger amendment to add next year onto the contract, increasing the total by $843,000 to $1,758,508. Mister Sivikin said the amendment extends the service into next year and confirmed the arithmetic of the increase during discussion.
Both amendments were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript records the approvals and indicates the city will continue monthly ridership billing under the amended terms.
