He indicated he would <br />not be approving any proposal where the City subsidized the equipment. <br />Councilmember Jeffrey stated the equipment was for the ridership convenience and he believed <br />the GoTo System was essential. <br />Councilmember EIvig stated he was concerned that the City would be providing the equipment. <br />He asked if the RFP could require the equipment in order to be considered. <br />Councilmember Jeffrey agreed that the RFP should require certain equipment in order to be <br />considered. He stated he would not be in favor of spending $25,000 to equip a bus and by <br />requiring this equipment, it might entice other businesses to put in the equipment themselves. <br />Acting Mayor Look stated he liked that idea and busses that did not have this type of equipment <br />had a disadvantage. He indicated if the RFP was worded to require this equipment, then a <br />business could make a choice if they would submit an RFP or not. <br />Councilmember Wise noted whether or not the equipment was provided, the City would pay for <br />it anyway. <br />Motion by Councilmember McGlone, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to specify the exact <br />equipment needed to communicate with Met Transit, to require the contractor to own and have <br />the ability to meet the RFP, and to authorize staff to send out the printed portion of the RFP. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Mayor Look, Councilmembers McGlone, Elvig, Jeffrey, <br />and Wise. Voting No: None.
