Termination of Current Contract
Termination Cost or Notification Requirement
• Company B
o Early termination costs:
• Notification of 30 days AND
payment of $200 per
vehicle monitored for GPS
terminated during the first
36 months or return the
GPS for the vehicle
terminated within 30 days
after the termination date.
(Approximate cost of
$15,000 for about 75 GPS)
• Company A
o No early termination costs
o Notification requirement by
October 1, 2014

Team Recommendation:
Company A – for the following reasons
Topic Comments
Cost Capital (up-front cost) – Slightly higher than Company B (+$490K)*
O&M (monthly expense) – Significantly lower than Company B (-$2.6M)*
• X would realize a $19 / unit per month saving
• X would realize a $14 / unit per month saving (plus have the addition of “White Glove Service”
Total Cost of Ownership – Significantly less than Company B (-$2.1M)*
Additional Unknown Costs – Little if Any – Company B had in the past some added fees
Reporting Ability to provide data in the format we have requested (4 report types)
• Productivity, Supervisory Tracking (co-location)
• Driver Safety and Idle Tracking
Support Services Project Management Support
• Committed Contractually to have a Project Manager On-Site to help “X” number of days per month
IT Integration Will need to establish new data feeds with X
• Company A has tried to work with our internal IT, but has met limited availability & limited clarification of
data requests.
Contract Negotiation Company A has agreed to our Terms and Conditions; which Company B has not
• Company B will take significantly more time to establish a new contract, and possibly some legal
department interaction and added expense.
Implementation Company A has stated they can meet our implementation timeline, if we have a “go” by October 1, 2014. Need
Clarification for:
• # of GPS Units to Install – are we going to include (X & All Supervisors)
• If we are going forward with a Driver ID solution & if so which type:
• Coin FOB
• Current RFID (existing Employee ID Badges)
• Additional RFID Badge (second Employee ID Badge with just Employee ID and Name – no
access info)
• Scanner
*Final cost/cost savings to be reviewed once finalized
13
Next Steps: Transition requirements
Pre bid selection requirements:
• Ensure IT issues are resolved/workable. Longer lead time required for Company A.
• Finalize pricing on driver/vehicle identification system.
• Determine actual number of vehicles requiring Hotspot and driver identification installation.
• Determine final cost based on all upfront requirements being met and monthly fees over life of
contract.
Post bid selection requirements:
• Install all required components (GPS device and card reader) during last quarter of 2014.
• Establish all necessary standard reports identified in RFP (co-location, productivity, driver
safety, idle) during device installation period.
• Resolve any IT issues/problems.
Transition Consequences
• Storm Event – There will be a period when vehicles are split between Company B and
Company A, which may cause vehicle tracking inconsistencies.
• Leave/Return report will no longer be valid
• Custom support provided by Company B may need to be reestablished (ie; Meter Service daily
summary report and Meter Service 3:30 alert to supervisors)
• All fleets, markers, and alerts will need to be reestablished.
• Extensive user training to be performed during installation period.
