Memorandum

To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council CC: Members of Administration and Public Works Committee From: Jessica Hyink, Transportation & Mobility Coordinator CC: Johanna Leonard, Community Development Director Subject: Resolution 121-R-19, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement with Motivate International, Inc. for the Bicycle Program Date: November 11, 2019

Recommended Action: Staff recommends the City Council adoption of Resolution 121-R-19, Authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Motivate International, Inc., for a period of 5 years to expand the Evanston Divvy Bikeshare Program ("Divvy Program") and to remove the financial cost to the City.

Funding Source: Staff anticipates the budgeted amount for Divvy expenses will be cost neutral for the length of the contract.

Council Action: For Action

Summary: On September 17, 2018, City Council approved the authorization of the City Manager to negotiate a three (3) year contract extension with the operator of the Divvy Program. Since that time, Divvy was acquired by and staff has completed further negotiations and established an Amended and Restated Agreement ("Agreement"). Negotiated items of the Agreement include:

1. Reduction of 2019 costs to meet the City's goal of a cost neutral Divvy Program in 2019; 2. Elimination of Divvy Program expenses in the new Agreement; 3. Revenue share in an amount equal to 5% of the excess of user revenues over $250,000 each calendar year; 4. Ninety (90) electric assist bicycles with "lock-to" functionality (capable of being locked to a Divvy station or bicycle parking infrastructure); 5. Bicycle upgrades to existing Divvy Program bicycles as needed; 6. Software upgrades to modernize the Divvy user experience; and 7. Integration of the Program with the Ventra card to allow users to initiate a rental with a transit card.

The negotiated items will result in a significant investment by Motivate into the Evanston Program, therefore Motivate is asking for a five (5) year Agreement, with a five year extension option, to ensure these costs can be recovered. Moreover, a five year Agreement will provide additional time for Motivate to expand Evanston-based ridership and for the City to expand the Divvy for Every Evanstonian subsidy program.

The benefits of the Program include first and last mile connections to transit, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and a more equitable access to a community asset, as the lock- to electric assist bicycles will be able to reach all of Evanston.

Background: The Divvy Program launched in late June of 2016. The Program was made possible through a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation provided in 2015. The City matched this grant with $80,000 in 2015 as part of a larger growth of the Divvy bike network in and Oak Park. Sponsorships and station advertisement from Northwestern University, NorthShore University HealthSystem, Valli Produce, and Presence Saint Francis have helped in the initial set-up of the stations.

Evanston currently has 14 Divvy stations distributed throughout Evanston. The locations are designed to serve as part of the larger network of Divvy and are located near large employers and points of interest (Evanston Township High School and Northwestern University) and CTA and Metra stations.

Equity: On August 23, 2018, the City launched the Divvy for Every Evanstonian program to provide $5.00 Divvy memberships to income qualifying residents. Evanston residents ages 16 and older with an annual household income at or below 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or who receive SNAP, WIC, LIHEAP or public housing benefits now qualify for the discounted annual memberships. All annual memberships include unlimited rides of 45 minutes or less anywhere within Divvy's network. The Divvy network includes stations at grocery stores and other shopping destinations, train stations, business districts, Evanston Township High School, and Northwestern University. Having lock-to electric assisted bicycles within the Program would expand the reach of the Divvy for Every Evanstonian program.

Legislative History: Resolution 87-R-14 Accepting Participation in the Divvy Bike Share Expansion and Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate an Intergovernmental Agreement with City of Chicago to Implement the Program Staff recommends City Council adoption of a cost match in the amount of $80,000 to match funding provided by the State of Illinois Department of Transportation is budgeted for FY 2015 in the Parking Fund Account BU: 505.19.7005.62603.

Motivate shall defend, indemnify and hold City and its commissioners, officers and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party,” and collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from any and all claims of, or judgments for, a third-party for (i) damages on account of any injuries or death to such third-party or damage to any property of such third-party, or (ii) economic, pecuniary or financial losses of such third-party, together with costs and expenses to which such Indemnified Party may be subjected on account of such claims or judgments, to the extent arising out of the negligence or intentional misconduct by Motivate or its subcontractors or a violation of law by Motivate or its subcontractors (collectively, “Operator Actions”); provided, however, that Motivate shall not be responsible for any negligence of Indemnified Parties or their respective agents or contractors or for any damages caused by Indemnified Parties or their respective agents or contractors (together with matters covered by the following sentence, “Indemnified Party Actions”).

In addition, an Indemnified Party shall notify Motivate after any Proceeding is commenced (by way of service with a summons or other legal process giving information as to the nature and basis of the claim) against such Indemnified Party. Failure to promptly notify Motivate shall relieve Motivate from any liability that Motivate may have on account of this indemnity to the extent Motivate has been prejudiced by such failure. Motivate shall assume the defense of a Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and expenses of such counsel, in which event, except as provided below, Motivate shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of any other counsel retained by such Indemnified Party in connection with such Proceeding.

Motivate will not settle any Proceeding to which such Indemnified Party is a party without the consent of such Indemnified Party unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all claims made against such Indemnified Party in connection with such Proceeding without any admission of liability or wrongdoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 12, if any judgment or settlement establishes that the personal injury, property damage or financial loss underlying any Proceeding arose from Indemnified Party Actions, then such Indemnified Party shall reimburse Motivate for the legal fees and costs incurred by Motivate in defending such Indemnified Party, or if such personal injury, property damage or financial loss arose from both Operator Actions and Indemnified Party Actions, then such Indemnified Party shall reimburse Motivate for such Indemnified Party’s share of Motivate’s legal fees and costs based such Indemnified Party’s share of the liability for such personal injury, property damage or financial loss.

12.5. No Right of Action. The provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to create any right of action in favor of third parties

Entire station and all bikes are removed for the duration of project; station and all bikes will be returned upon completion of project.

Station Removal Fee = $2,000 flat fee + $25 per dock, per day of closure  Example for a 31 dock station, for a 2 day removal: $2,000 + {$25 * 31 * 2} = $3,550.00

SCENARIO #3 - TEMPORARY RELOCATION OF A STATION

Entire station and all bikes are removed and relocated to a new location for the duration of the work. In situations where a safe and suitable temporary location cannot be accommodated, a full removal of the station may be necessary and the fees for station removal (below) will be incurred instead. For active construction and for special events only.

Station Relocation Fee = $2,000 flat fee + $15 per dock removal fee  Example for a 31 dock station: $2,000 + {$15 * 31} = $2,465.00

Any station that will be permanently relocated will come at a charge of $4,000.
