Amendment No. 5 to Contract With RATP Dev USA, Inc., for Transit Operator Services for TheBus (Contract No. 21-RG0010/PH; Amount: $1,757,078.12 Funded by Federal Grant and 9th Cent Gas Tax)

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-09-22 · agenda_item

Hernando County is considering Amendment No. 5 to its existing contract with RATP Dev USA, Inc., for transit operator services for TheBus. This amendment is for a total amount of $1,757,078.12, which will be funded by a federal grant and the 9th Cent Gas Tax. The item is currently pending review by the Board of County Commissioners, with a meeting scheduled for September 22, 2026. This is an early stage in the public process, meaning the amendment has not yet been approved. If approved, the work would involve continued operation and management of the county's public transit system, TheBus. This could include ongoing maintenance, staffing, and daily operations of the bus fleet. Local businesses that provide services or supplies to transit operations, such as vehicle maintenance, fuel, and parts, could see opportunities to compete for subcontracts or supply agreements. Reaching out to the county or the primary contractor early, before the amendment is finalized, could help local firms position themselves for potential work.
