Description
The City of Mobile contracted a private shuttle operator to transport cruise‑ship passengers and luggage between the Mobile Alabama Cruise Terminal and an off‑site overflow parking lot on cruise “turnaround” days. The contractor must provide at least three climate‑controlled 13‑plus‑passenger shuttles (with the ability to add two more on 24‑hour notice), operate primarily between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., and maintain communications with terminal staff. Drivers must be uniformed, licensed, capable of handling handicapped passengers, and possess TWIC cards for secure‑facility access. The contract runs for one year starting November 1 2019, with two possible one‑year extensions, and the vendor is paid a fixed daily rate for core service plus an hourly rate for any extra vehicles. Key points include:
• Primary service: shuttle 250 passengers + luggage from terminal to overflow lot (debarkation) and 100 passengers + luggage back (embarkation) on cruise days.
• Minimum fleet: three 13‑plus‑seat vehicles on‑site; ability to add two additional vehicles with 24‑hour notice.
• Performance period: November 1 2019 – October 31 2020, with up to two automatic one‑year renewals.
