Item Title
D-7 Synovia Solutions for GPS-Enabled Payroll and Fleet Management Software Contract

Issue/Rationale

The Transportation Department is requesting approval to lease GPS-enabled Payroll and Fleet Management Software services from Synovia Solutions LLC (Synovia) for 240 school buses. This proposal does not require a payment during the 2016/2017 school year.  This system and will increase safety, student rider verification and accountability, and enhance parent awareness of bus arrival time.  District departments have the option lease additional GPS units for district owned “White Fleet” vehicles at the unit prices contained in the RFP.

Approve piggybacking off of St. Lucie’s RFP #15-08 for a 60 month lease agreement for 240 school buses, with the option for district departments to also lease additional GPS units for district-owned “White Fleet” vehicles at the unit prices contained in the RFP.

Financial Impact

Lease of GPS Equipment (Equates to a cost of $38.04 per bus per month for 5 years)
