With the addition of our San Fernando Valley commuter routes and the creation of a commuter route to the Antelope Valley, additional marketing efforts will be needed. It has become clear that the existing Santa Clarita Transit staff can not undertake the ambitious marketing efforts necessary to increase the ridership of the recently created San Fernando Valley commuter routes, the commuter route to the Antelope Valley which is to begin operation in September, and our local transit service. In addition to the promotion of the local and commuter services it is envisioned that assistance of a qualified marketing consultant would be required to formulate and present a transit marketing plan for the period of July 1, 1994 through December, 31, 1994. A consultant would also assist in the design and promotion of a transit -voucher program and additional promotional efforts which would further benefit Santa Clarita Transit. A request for proposal was released on June 16, 1994 and the deadline to submit a proposal for marketing services was June 29,1994 at 5:00 pm. The proposals were reviewed on June 30, 1994. Two proposals were received, one from Reinhardt and Reinhardt Advertising to perform the services at rate of $65 per hour and the other from Jim Moore to perform the services at $35 per hour. RECOMMENDATION Approve entering into an agreement with Jim Moore for marketing services, not to exceed $26,250. ATTACHMENT Personal Service Contract. agndarep.mkt E3�0A- �e:
