Fixed Route Planning Software RFP 22-168
Department:Augusta Transit
Presenter:Sharon Dottery
Caption:A motion to approve the purchase of Fixed Route Planning, Scheduling
and Runcutting Software system for Augusta Transit (AT). The
recommendation of award is for a one (1) year term with two (2) one (1)
year extension options. REF 22-168.
Background:The Fixed Route Planning software is a geospatial cloud-based software
used for bus route planning, fixed route scheduling and run-cutting
software application. The planning software will allow a greater
understanding by AT of the potential financial, operational, and ridership
impacts of new, terminated, or alternative fixed route services. The
scheduling and run cutting software will allow AT operators and managers
to operate the fixed route system more efficiently. The software
application will free up time spent by AT staff (direct or contracted) in the
manual update, scenario assessment and scheduling of fixed route bus
operations. Furthermore, this tool will allow for a streamlining of
workflow and operational adjustments or improvements to be implemented
timeously. Currently, AT uses two (2) Trapeze/Tripspark programs,
namely, Streets Dispatch and Streets Admin for fixed route bus operations.
scheduling, run cutting and rostering are performed manually despite AT’s
license to use the Trapeze/Tripspark Streets Schedule program. AT does
not use any fixed route planning software application. The population of
Augusta-Richmond County continues to grow and with it the demand for
affordable transportation. This is compounded by declining transit
ridership and demographic and industrial shifts throughout the county. The
current network of nine (9) fixed routes has remained unchanged for many
years and is out of synch with the spatial dynamics of Augusta-Richmond
County. This ongoing spatial dynamic has limited AT’s ability to fulfill its
mission - ‘To give customers access to all regions of Augusta-Richmond
County by providing quality, dependable, safe, accessible and affordable
transportation, thereby enhancing the mobility of the public as well as the
transportation disadvantaged.’ AT intends on using this transit planning
and scheduling software to evaluate and redesign its route structure to
ensure the system serves locations that match the needs and wants of
citizens and visitors to Augusta-Richmond County.
Analysis:A RFP was issued by the Procurement Department. Five responses were
received. Four of the responses were deemed as non-responsive by the
Compliance Department with one also being deemed non-compliant by
Procurement. The evaluation committee met and reviewed the proposal.
Cover Memo
Item # 3
The evaluation committee determined that the proposal would meet the
needs of the department. The Transit Department requested to entered into
contract negotiations with the vendor and we have reached an agreement
on the terms. The Transit Department is requesting approval to award the
Fixed Route Planning, Scheduling and Runcutting Software contract to
Remix Technologies, LLC for a 1 year period with an option to extend for
two (2) additional one (1) year terms.
Financial Impact:This purchase will be funded with local and federal grant funds from the
Transit Department’s 2022 Capital Budget. The allocated funding
breakdown is: Funding Source Total Split Federal Local FTA Grant GA-
2021-023 $36,507 80/20 $29,206 $7,301

Remix + Augusta Transit: Bringing Together the
Transportation Picture
The Remix Platform is designed to bring together cities and transit agencies to leverage innovative technology
for the changing transportation landscape. With a planning, design, and data lens, governments will benefit
from the culmination of 500+ government best practices, and in turn become influential across data standard

Specifically, with Remix’s technology, cities and transit agencies will be able to take advantage of combined
decades of expertise across policy, engineering and product, and transportation sectors. The Remix/Via team
of 350+ engineers will allow a tailored approach to each city and transit agency, along with rapid product
development.
For Augusta Transit, we believe you will see an immediate positive impact with a Remix partnership:
– Remix Fixed Route Planning software will allow a greater understanding by Augusta Transit of the
potential financial, operational, and ridership impacts of new, terminated, or alternative fixed route
services.
- Remix Scheduling & Runcutting software will allow Augusta Transit operators and managers to operate
the fixed route system more efficiently. Remix Scheduling & Runcutting software will free up time
spent by the Augusta Transit staff in the manual update, scenario assessment, and scheduling of fixed
route bus operations.
- Remix Scheduling & Runcutting software will also allow for a streamlining of workflow and operational
adjustments or improvements to be implemented timeously.
We look forward to supporting Augusta Transit in these endeavors and many more.

Re: Agenda ltem Request
On behatf of several hotels in Augusta I am submittfng this request to be ptaced on the
November 8s Commission Committee agenda.
ln recent months there has been a trend in Augusta to invotuntarity convert the normat
lnnkeeoer/Guest business relationship that hotets normatly oPerate under to a
Landtord/Tenant retatlonship such as apartment comptexes falt under. This adversety
affects hotet owners who need to terminate the stay of a guest who has not paid, is
engaging in crimlnat conduct, or viotates hotet poticy.
This conversion is done primarlty by Richmond Cunty Sherlffs Deputles ufio are operatlng
wlthout written pohcy or guldetines when a hotet guest dectares that he/she is a tenant
rather than a hotel guest. Atmost unlformty deputies state that they are fottowlng a city
ordinance, wtren ln fact there is rc aollcoble ordlmrce. Hotels are then forced to flte a
Dispossessory Action in the lrlagistrate Court or State Court to evict that guest; a process
that can take a month or longer.
There are approxlmatety 7,W hotet rooms ln Aryusta. For each nlght one of those rooms
ls occupled the hotet ls taxed S1.00/night per occupled roolr. Conversety, apartment
comptexes are rpt subJected to this tax. The State Transportatlon Tax (S5.00lnlght) and
State Sates Tax drop off after a speclfled number of days. The Augusta City Tax never drops
off.
These are issues we woutd tike to ptace before the Cornmisslon Commlttee with the hope
that ttrey witt take wlratever action ls within their powers to flnd an equltabte sotutlon.
I reatize that pubtic presentations are timited to 5 minutes and witt taitor our presentation
accordingty. t do not know if the Pubtic SeMces Committee is the correct choice and woutd
be most appreciatlve lf you woutd place us on the agenda for the approprlate
committee(s).
