SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Commuting Solutions and regional municipalities discussed a regional bikeshare opportunity. Commuting Solutions and the municipalities agreed to move forward with the implementation of a regional bikeshare which includes the development of an RFP.
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlines the agreed terms for all stakeholders to develop the RFP and provides an opportunity for the stakeholders to implement bikeshare in their municipalities at the beginning of the project or later.
This MOU is designed to collaboratively identify a possible vendor to provide bikeshare services in communities that are parties to the MOU. The MOU only requires staff time and no direct costs. Although there may be costs associated with the deployment of the Program, no formal financial commitment is being made as part of this MOU. Entering into this MOU is not a commitment to participate in any final contractual arrangement that may be developed and does not constitute a financial commitment.
