Motion carries. Let's move to item 25, please. Adam 25 is a report from Public Works. Recommendation two What a contract to Parent Movement for ongoing operation and maintenance of the Long Beach Bike Share Program. Four Total contract amount not to exceed 1.4 million citywide. To have a report on that which. Craig back. Good evening, counsel. Thank you for the opportunity to address this. Similar to previous discussions about the Citywide Bikeshare program, we've been using the group pedal movement to provide interim support of our program. We went through a full RFP process and they were selected as the best candidate. We are now in front of you to ask to transition that kind of interim or pilot work that they've been doing into a permanent program. So pedal movement would be our vendor going forward. One of the things that this contract does do is provide funding that would support the purchase of parts. Many of our bikes that we have out in the system are dated and we need to invest in the maintenance and upkeep of those those bikes as we work to bring in our new bikes, which would be about 600 more bikes. That concludes a report I'm in here to answer any questions. Thank you. Janey. Public comment on this item. If not, we move behind the diocese concept. Whoa. Okay. Hi. My name's Nick Russo. We've got Evan Kelly and. John Tully here. We're representatives of pedal movement. We know many of you. Thank you for having us tonight. Council thank you to city staff and to council for the opportunity to be here, to be bringing the bike share program to the next level. We're very excited to be the vendor selected for this project and we're looking forward to providing great service and continuing to to work with the city in whatever capacity. Thank you once again, Councilwoman Pierce. Yes, I want to think public works and paddle movement. Obviously, you guys are at every awesome event that I have in my district, not because of me, but because you guys are so well-known and do a great job at valet and other efforts. It's been great to work with you guys and look forward to working with you more. So I just want to thank staff for their hard work. Thank you, Councilman Price. Thank you. I echoed those sentiments. You guys are very responsible operators in the city, and I sometimes wish that once we do adopt a full on scooter program, that you meet with those operators and share with them some of your best practices, because I've never received complaints about it. Although are our bikes bikes that you are helping us manage in the city? I do have a question. Do we have any data on the number of residents using the bikes? Are we are we tracking that data? And is council going to get a report back at some time in regards to the effectiveness of this program? Yes, Councilmember, we do track membership. We have the membership numbers. We also have what we call HEATMAPS, which shows where all the ridership utilizes our bikes. And it's really quite amazing to look at some of that data. I will definitely put together importance in that to you all. I think you'd enjoy seeing how successful we've been with the 400 bikes that are deployed thus far. Yeah, I would love to see it and I imagine I'm not sure, but I imagine the heat maps are going to show a lot of activity in the third district, both because of our Belmont Shore business corridor as well as our coastal area. So I look forward to seeing that. I will say the one complaint we always get is that the bikes don't have drink holders, not for water bottles, water bottles, not red solo cups, but water bottle bottles. Because when you put them in the basket, they jiggle around in there and it's just not very conducive. Remember, the peninsula is in the third district and 4th of July. The peninsula is utilized by a lot of bikers. So bicyclists. So I think maybe I don't know if that's something that we can have installed in the new bikes or if it's something that we can go in after the fact to put in. But I do think that's an amenity that the public would very much enjoy. We can certainly look at that for bike bottles, not red solo cups, because that wouldn't be consistent with our EPS band. That is true. Exactly. Yes. That. Thank you. I think you said it. Councilwoman, are you through? It's very quick. Mr. Beck. Very, very impressive. Because you got to register. Thank you. Pat, a movement. You know, I know you folks. You do great work. Thanks a lot for helping me out with connecting the Kerry thing to the city by couldn't figure it out. You help me out. Thanks a lot, Craig. I ask the question I ask every time. When are we getting the North Lawn beach bikes? Soon as they come in wrecks. They're going in the ninth district. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Councilwoman Gonzalez. I just have to say thanks as well. And pedal movement, I have to say. Great job. You do that citywide. We've seen you a lot in downtown, in my district, but I love that their local. That's really important. I know for many of us on the council and so I'm glad congratulations almost. And great job Craig with with garnering such a great group. Thank you. That's awesome. Thank you very much. Hey, so there's a sentence in here. It says that the city's current program consists of over 30,000 active members and 400 bicycles, with the potential to expand to a thousand bicycles in 2019. Does that mean we're getting 600 more bikes? Potentially. And yes, actually, we had brought forward a previous item to this council in support of the purchase of bikes. We are in the final negotiation stages of that contract and we anticipate placing that order any day now. That order would consist of roughly 600 new bikes and once they come in is, as Councilmember Richardson likes to joke with me, certainly have them targeted to go into this seventh, eighth and ninth district. We want to expand our program north. We want to ensure that we're supporting some of our Bike Boulevard corridor projects. And one of the most recent ones, as you know, Councilman, is the Myrtle Daisy Bike Boulevard Project. So you'll see new stations going in along those corridors. I appreciate that. Thank you very much. And I know I've been advocating for bicycles in my district in the north for for some time. It's going to be really nice to finally have them. First of all, I want to congratulate you individually for the hard work you're doing. But my biggest concern right now, you guys, is are they going to have how much are they going to require that or do the city require it? Because I just think that could be quite a you know, I have for those individual out on the bikes, I don't know how soon it's coming, but I know eventually it's going to have to come. So I'm just letting you guys know what you're doing now is great. But please, I know you looked for it. You looked at that way before we have, but please give us some help on that because I'd hate to see so accidents and then having that helmet I thank you guys again so much for the hard work you're doing. Keep them rolling, you guys okay? That's just upon, you know, keep rolling. Thank you again. Okay. Would you please like to take your vote? Motion carries. Okay. Oh, okay. Now we're going to move on to our second item 26. We have item to find this an item.
