L �I <br /> ORANGE COUNTY DEPAR'TMEN'T ON AGING <br /> v <br /> x,. <br /> �"to c-ol' 300 West Tryon Street Post Office Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Jerry M. Passmore FAX: 644-3044 <br /> July 8. 1995 <br /> Director <br /> Dear Private Operator: <br /> In accordance with requirements implemented by the N.C. Department of Transportation, <br /> Public Transportation Division, a Transportation Development Plan (TDP) will be <br /> prepared for Orange County during FY 1995/96. The purpose of this correspondence is <br /> to provide you and other private transportation operators with an opportunity to <br /> participate in the planning and provision of local transportation services currently being <br /> provided by Orange County, This Ietter serves as the means by which to initiate your <br /> company's involvement in the preparation of Orange County's TDP and potential <br /> subsequent provision of services. <br /> A Brief history of Orange County's transportation system and a description of the <br /> current operations is enclosed for your information. <br /> Under the TDP private sector process, any private operators who have expressed an <br /> interest by responding to this letter will have the opportunity to present their capabilities in <br /> oral and/or written form to the TDP Steering Committee. This will not need to be a <br /> detailed proposal, but rather more of an indication of the operator's credentials and related <br /> operating experiences. It is an opportunity to market your company locally in an effort to <br /> convince the Steering Committee that the private sector is a viable service alternative. <br /> Following the presentation, the Steering Committee will decide whether to recommend the <br /> issuance of a formal RFP to the Orange County Board of Commissioners using the general <br /> criteria for making public/private service decisions which may include but need not be <br /> limited to: <br /> 1. Comparative cost of private versus public services in similar situations; <br /> 2. Perceived quality and reliability of service; <br /> 3. Local control of services; <br /> 4. Responsiveness/flexibility of operators; and <br /> 5. Private operator financial stability. <br /> The Orange County Board of Commissioners will make the final decision regarding the <br /> issuance of the RFP. <br /> If you are interested in this system, we request that you mail or fax the attached form by <br /> July 18, 1995, indicating your interest in participating in the TDP inventory phase, and/or <br /> your interest in possibly providing all or part of the transportation services to be operated <br /> subsequent to the endorsement of the TDP. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> 732-SISI Flilkborou,�h 968--1 501 • Chapel dill 6SS-7331 • Durham (9 10) 227-2031 Nfebanc <br />
