Department:Augusta Public Transit

ADA Paratransit Division from Trapeze Group, Inc. ADA already utilizes
the scheduling software from Trapeze.
Background:The IVR system will give Paratransit Trip Confirmation/Cancellation and
Paratransit Call Backs (reminders/alerts) . ADA already utilizes the
scheduling software from Trapeze and t his is the only IVR productavailable

scheduling system. This will provide an easier-to-deploy and administer
solution from an IT and project staff perspective. The system will be
purchased using Grant GA-90-278. The cost of the software is $97,111.
Analysis:The purchase of the IVR system will assist our Paratransit Division with
confirming and canceling appointments for our clients. FTA pays 80% of
the cost; GDOT pays 10%, and Augusta-Richmond County the remaining
10%.
Financial Impact:Augusta Richmond County will pay $9,711 which is the required 10%
match requirement. Funds are available in the 2010 budget.

Dear Heyward:
Re: Additional Information -
Trapeze Software Group Inc.–PASS-IVR Enhancement Project
With reference to your recent request, the following information provides our ‘Value Proposition’ for the
upgrade of the ‘mission critical’ software systems currently employed to support the Augusta Transit
paratransit department in order to assist with the customer information department.
Value Proposition
With the introduction of the Trapeze PASS-IVR product, Augusta Transit will employ a customer
information solution designed to provide value through an integrated single source data infrastructure and
more effective sharing of common tools and data across Augusta Transit’s paratransit unit.
Along with the associated benefits described above there are also identified intrinsic values that come
with the soul source acquisition through Trapeze:
¾Trapeze has proposed a discount of 20% to the license fees associated with this project offering
Augusta Transit exceptional value for loyalty. This discount would not be available through RFP.
¾Time to market will be accelerated, creating time and cost savings (procurement, time of staff,
etc). With the Trapeze ‘enhancement project’ Augusta Transit will be offered lower overall costs
with a positive, expedited return on investment.
¾No other vendor can integrate with the paratransit scheduling and mobile computing system
currently employed at Augusta Transit to offer everything you have requested from an IVR
application.
¾This is the only IVR product available that can ‘read’ and employ the same tables and database
as the Trapeze scheduling system. This will provide an easier-to-deploy and administer solution
from an IT and project staff perspective.
¾Augusta Transit can approach the project with piece of mind knowing that in the last 7 years
Trapeze has replaced both of our major competitors. By purchasing Trapeze you’ll have the
comfort of knowing you made the right choice.

Confidential to Trapeze – Not to be Disclosed
Page 2
The enterprise solution we offer operates from a single source data infrastructure.It has been
production proven and in daily use in many transit agencies across North America since 2002.
We have included as an attachment, a table comparing the costs associated with the implementation of
the IVR system at Augusta Transit with previous installations at agencies of similar size and scope. We
are confident that the proposed price for the enhancement of your current Trapeze PASS system to
encompass Trapeze PASS-IVR, represents an equitable and ‘good value’ investment for a paratransit
customer information suite.
We look forward to the opportunity to extend our relationship with Augusta Transit as a long-term
technology solutions provider.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at (905) 629-8727 ext.
4009 or by e-mail at ben.dvoracek@trapezegroup.com.
Yours very truly,
TRAPEZE GROUP
