ARTICLE 2. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CONTRACTOR
  1. Scope of Services
 
This description of Services is intended to be general in nature and is neither a complete description of Contractor's Services nor a limitation on the Services that Contractor is to provide under this Agreement. Contractor must provide the Services in accordance with the standards of performance set forth in Section 2.5. The Services that Contractor must provide are described in Exhibit 1.
  1. Functionality of the System
 
The Contractor covenants and warrants that the System will perform those functions contained in Exhibit 1.
 
 
2.3     Implementation and Testing of System
 
Pursuant to the timeframe set forth as part of Exhibit 1, Contractor will install the System, and make it fully operational, in all locations as specified in Exhibit 1, which include, without
 
3
 
 
limitation, all WAVs, and the facilities described in Exhibit 1, and create such interfaces as necessary to make the System fully functioning in accordance with the functional requirements in Exhibit 1. Contractor will perform such tests on the System, in the presence of the Commissioner, to demonstrate that the System meets the functionality described in Exhibit 1. If the System does not meet such functionality in the Commissioner's judgment, the Contractor will make such repairs to the System, including, without limitation, substituting superior technology, all at no cost to the City, so that the System meets the terms of Exhibit 1, and reperform such tests to demonstrate to the Commissioner that the System is compliant with the terms of this Agreement. Contractor must achieve the Commissioner's approval of such System, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, within 10 days ofthe Effective Date.
  1. Deliverables
 
In carrying out its Services, Contractor must prepare or provide to the City various Deliverables. "Deliverables" include work product, such as written reviews, recommendations, reports and analyses, produced by Contractor for the City.
 
The City may reject Deliverables that do not include relevant information or data, or do not include all documents or other materials specified in this Agreement or reasonably necessary for the purpose for which the City made this Agreement or for which the City intends to use the Deliverables. If the City determines that Contractor has failed to comply with the foregoing standards, it has 30 days from the discovery to notify Contractor of its failure. If Contractor does not correct the failure, if it is possible to do so, within 30 days after receipt of notice from the City specifying the failure, then the City, by written notice, may treat the failure as a default of this Agreement under Section 8.1.
 
Partial or incomplete Deliverables may be accepted for review only when required for a specific and well-defined purpose for the benefit ofthe City and when consented to in advance by the City. Such Deliverables will not be considered as satisfying the requirements of this Agreement and partial or incomplete Deliverables in no way relieve Contractor of its obligations under this Agreement.
  1. Standard of Performance
 
Contractor must perform all Services required of it under this Agreement with that degree of skill, care and diligence normally shown by a Contractor performing services of a scope and purpose and magnitude comparable with the nature ofthe Services to be provided under this Agreement. Contractor acknowledges that it is entrusted with or has access to valuable and confidential information and records of the City. Contractor agrees to be held to the standard of care of a fiduciary. Any review, approval, acceptance of Services or Deliverables or payment for any of the Services by the City does not relieve Contractor of its responsibility for the professional skill and care and technical accuracy of its Services and Deliverables.
 
 
4
 
 
This provision in no way limits the City's rights against Contractor under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
Contractor must be appropriately licensed to perform the Services, if required by law, and must ensure that all Services that require the exercise of professional skills or judgment are accomplished by professionals qualified and competent in the applicable discipline and appropriately licensed as may be required by law. Contractor must provide copies of any such licenses. Contractor remains responsible for the professional and technical accuracy of all Services or Deliverables furnished, whether by Contractor or its Subcontractors or others on its behalf. All Deliverables must be prepared in a form and content satisfactory to the Department and delivered in a timely manner consistent with the requirements of this Agreement.
 
If Contractor fails to comply with the foregoing standards, Contractor must, at the City's option, perform again, at its own expense, all Services required to be re-performed as a direct or indirect result of that failure, unless the reason is failure to have and maintain required licensure. See subsection 8.1 (b)(ii) regarding failure to comply with licensure requirements.
 
2.6 Personnel
  1. Adequate Staffing
 
Contractor must, upon receiving a fully executed copy of this Agreement, assign and maintain during the term of this Agreement and any extension of it an adequate staff of competent personnel that is fully equipped, licensed as appropriate, available as needed, qualified and assigned exclusively to perform the Services. Contractor must include among its staff the Key Personnel and positions as identified below. The level of staffing may be revised from time to time by notice in writing from Contractor to the C ity and with prior written consent of the City.
  1. Key Personnel
 
Contractor must not reassign or replace Key Personnel without the written consent ofthe City. "Key Personnel" means those job titles and the persons assigned to those positions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.6(b). The Department may at any time in writing notify Contractor that the City will no longer accept performance of Services under this Agreement by one or more Key Personnel listed. Upon that notice Contractor must immediately suspend the key person or persons from performing Services under this Agreement and must replace him or them in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Key Personnel, if any, are identified in Exhibit 1.
  1. Salaries and Wages
 
Contractor and Subcontractors must pay all salaries and wages due all employees performing Services under this Agreement unconditionally and at least once a month without
5
 
 
deduction or rebate on any account, except only for those payroll deductions that are mandatory by law or are permitted under applicable law and regulations. The parties acknowledge that this Section 2.6(c) is solely for the benefit of the City and that it does not grant any third party beneficiary rights.
  1. Best Efforts Regarding Work Force
 
Contractor must use best efforts to employ members of a "Minority group" (as such term is defined in Section 2-92-420(r) of the Municipal Code of Chicago), whether through itself or through approved Subcontractors, for at least 25% of the work force that performs the Services under this Agreement. Contractor will be required to report on its ongoing best efforts to the Commissioner on a quarterly basis, and will provide documentation or other support showing its best efforts upon the Commissioner's request
  1. Insurance
 
Contractor must provide and maintain at Contractor's own expense, during the term of this Agreement and any time period following expiration if Contractor is required to return and perform any of the Services or Additional Services under this Agreement, the insurance coverages and requirements specified in Exhibit 5 of this Agreement, insuring all operations related to this Agreement.
  1. Indemnification
 
(a)      Contractor must defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its officers, representatives, elected and appointed officials, agents and employees from and against any and all Losses, including those related to:
  1. injury, death or damage of or to any person or property;
  2. any infringement or violation of any property right (including any patent, trademark or copyright);
  3. Contractor's failure to perform or cause to be performed Contractor's promises and obligations as and when required under this Agreement, including Contractor's failure to perforin its obligations to any Subcontractor;
  4. the City's exercise of its rights and remedies under Section 8.2 of this Agreement; and
  5. injuries to or death of any employee of Contractor or any Subcontractor under any workers compensation statute.
 
 
6
 
  1. "Losses" means, individually and collectively, liabilities of every kind, including losses, damages and reasonable costs, payments and expenses (such as, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, judgments or settlements, any or all of which in any way arise out of or relate to Contractor's breach of this Agreement or to Contractor's negligent or otherwise wrongful acts or omissions or those of its officers, agents, employees, Contractors, Subcontractors or licensees.
  2. At the City Corporation Counsel's option, Contractor must defend all suits brought upon all such Losses and must pay all costs and expenses incidental to them, but the City has the right, at its option, to participate, at its own cost, in the defense of any suit, without relieving Contractor of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any settlement must be made only with the prior written consent of the City Corporation Counsel, if the settlement requires any action on the part of the City.
  3. To the extent permissible by law, Contractor waives any limits to the amount of its obligations to defend, indemnify, hold harmless, or contribute to any sums due under any Losses, including any claim by any employee of Contractor that may be subject to the Workers Compensation Act, 820 ILCS 305/1 et seq. or any other related law or judicial decision (such as, Kotecki v. Cyclops Welding Corporation, 146 111. 2d 155 (1991)). The City, however, does not waive any limitations it may have on its liability under the Illinois Workers Compensation Act, the Illinois Pension Code, any other statute or judicial decision.
  4. The indemnities in this section survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for matters occurring or arising during the term of this Agreement or as the result of or during Contractor's perfonnance of Services beyond the term. Contractor acknowledges that the requirements set forth in this section to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City are apart from and not limited by the Contractor's duties under this Agreement, including the insurance requirements in Exhibit 5 of this Agreement.
  1. Ownership of Documents
 
All Deliverables, data, findings or information in any form prepared, assembled or encountered by or provided to Contractor under this Agreement are property of the City, including, as further described in Section 2.11 below, all copyrights inherent in them or their preparation. During performance of its Services, Contractor is responsible for any loss or damage to the Deliverables, data, findings or information while in Contractor's or any Subcontractor's possession. Any such lost or damaged Deliverables, data, findings or information must be restored at the expense of Contractor. If not restorable, Contractor must bear the cost of replacement and of any loss suffered by the City on account of the destruction, as provided in Section 2.9.
  1. Copyright Ownership
 
 
7
 
 
Contractor and the City intend that, to the extent permitted by law, the Deliverables to be produced by Contractor at the City's instance and expense under this Agreement are conclusively deemed "works made for hire" within the meaning and purview of Section 101 of the United States Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §101 el seq., and that the City will be the sole copyright owner ofthe Deliverables and of all aspects, elements and components of them in which copyright can subsist, and of all rights to apply for copyright registration or prosecute any claim of infringement.
 
To the extent that any Deliverable does not qualify as a "work made for hire," Contractor hereby irrevocably grants, conveys, bargains, sells, assigns, transfers and delivers to the City, its successors and assigns, all right, title and interest in and to the copyrights and all U.S. and foreign copyright registrations, copyright applications and copyright renewals for them, and other intangible, intellectual property embodied in or pertaining to the Deliverables prepared for the City under this Agreement, and all goodwill relating to them, free and clear of any liens, claims or other encumbrances, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Contractor will, and will cause all of its Subcontractors, employees, agents and other persons within its control to, execute all documents and perform all acts that the City may reasonably request in order to assist the City in perfecting its rights in and to the copyrights relating to the Deliverables, at the sole expense of the City. Contractor warrants to the City, its successors and assigns, that on the date of transfer Contractor is the lawful owner of good and marketable title in and to the copyrights for the Deliverables and has the legal rights to fully assign them. Contractor further warrants that it has not assigned and will not assign any copyrights and that it has not granted and will not grant any licenses, exclusive or nonexclusive, to any other party, and that it is not a party to any other agreements or subject to any other restrictions with respect to the Deliverables. Contractor warrants that the Deliverables are complete, entire and comprehensive, and that the Deliverables constitute a work of original authorship.
 
2.12    Records and Audits
 
(a) Records
  1. Contractor must deliver or cause to be delivered to the City all documents, including all Deliverables prepared for the City under the terms of this Agreement, promptly in accordance with the time limits prescribed in this Agreement, and if no time limit is specified, then upon reasonable demand for them or upon termination or completion of the Services under this Agreement. If Contractor fails to make such delivery upon demand, then Contractor must pay to the City any damages the City may sustain by reason of Contractor's failure.
  2. Contractor must maintain any such records including Deliverables not delivered to the City or demanded by the City for a period of 5 years after the final payment made in connection with this Agreement. Contractor must not dispose of such documents following the expiration of this period without notification of and written approval from the City in accordance with Article 10.
 
 
8
 
 
(b) Audits
  1. Contractor and any of Contractor's Subcontractors must furnish the Department with all information that may be requested pertaining to the performance of the Services and revenues from the Services. Contractor must keep books, documents, papers, records and accounts in connection with the Services open to audit, inspection, copying, abstracting and transcription and must make these records available to the City and any other interested governmental agency, at reasonable times during the performance of its Services.
  2. To the extent that Contractor conducts any business operations separate and apart from the Services required under this Agreement using, for example, personnel, equipment, supplies or facilities also used in connection with this Agreement, then Contractor must maintain and make similarly available to the City detailed records supporting Contractor's allocation to this Agreement of the costs and expenses attributable to any such shared usages.
  3. Contractor must maintain its books, records, documents and other evidence and adopt accounting procedures and practices sufficient to reflect properly all revenues from the performance of this Agreement. This system of accounting must be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices, consistently applied throughout.
  4. No provision in this Agreement granting the City a right of access to records and documents is intended to impair, limit or affect any right of access to such records and documents which the City would have had in the absence of such provisions.
  5. The City may in its sole discretion audit the records of Contractor or its Subcontractors, or both, at any time during the term of this Agreement or within five years after the Agreement ends, in connection with the Services provided under this Agreement. Each calendar year or partial calendar year is considered an "audited period." If, as a result of any such audit, it is determined that Contractor has underpaid the City in the audited period, the City will notify Contractor. Contractor must then promptly reimburse the City for any amount due the City as a result ofthe underpayment, as well as reimburse the City for the costs of the audit.
 
The audit described here does not diminish the City's right to require Contractor to perform an annual audit, as set forth in Section 4.2.
 
2.13 Confidentiality
 
(a)     All Deliverables and reports, data, findings or information in any form prepared, assembled or encountered by or provided by Contractor under this Agreement are property of the
9
 
 
City and are confidential, except as specifically authorized in this Agreement or as may be required by law. Contractor must not allow the Deliverables to be made available to any other individual or organization without the prior written consent of the City. Further, all documents and other information provided to Contractor by the City are confidential and must not be made available to any other individual or organization without the prior written consent ofthe City. Contractor must implement such measures as may be necessary to ensure that its staff and its Subcontractors are bound by the confidentiality provisions in this Agreement.
  1. Contractor must not issue any publicity news releases or grant press interviews, and except as may be required by law during or after the performance of this Agreement, disseminate any information regarding its Services or the project to which the Services pertain without the prior written consent of the Commissioner.
  2. If Contractor is presented with a request for documents by any administrative agency or with a subpoena duces tecum regarding any records, data or documents which may be in Contractor's possession by reason of this Agreement, Contractor must immediately give notice to the Commissioner and the Corporation Counsel for the City with the understanding that the City will have the opportunity to contest such process by any means available to it before the records, data or documents arc submitted to a court or other third party. Contractor, however, is not obligated to withhold the delivery beyond the time ordered by a court or administrative agency, unless the subpoena or request is quashed or the time to produce is otherwise extended.
  3. H1PAA and AIDS Confidentiality Act. To the extent not defined here the capitalized terms below and in Exhibit 6 will have the same meaning as set forth in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (Act). See 45 CFR parts 160,162 and 164. Contractor and all its Subcontractors must comply with the Act and all rules and regulations applicable to it including the Privacy Rule, which sets forth the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information at 45 CFR part 160 and part 164 subparts A and E; the Standards for Electronic Transactions, which are located at 45 CFR parts 160 and 162 and the Security Standards, which are located at 45 CFR parts 160, 162 and 164. Contractor must also comply with the Illinois AIDS Confidentiality Act (410 ILCS 305/1 through 16) and the rules and regulations of the Illinois Department of Public Health promulgated under it. If Contractor fails to comply with the applicable provisions under the Act or the Illinois AIDS Confidentiality Act, such failure will constitute an event of default under this Agreement for which no opportunity for cure will be provided.
 
Additionally, if Contractor is a Business Associate it must comply with all requirements of the Act applicable to Business Associates including the provisions contained in Exhibit 6.
 
2.14    Assignments and Subcontracts
 
(a) Contractor must not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement: (i) unless otherwise provided for elsewhere in this Agreement; or (ii) without the express written consent ofthe Commissioner. The absence of such a provision or
 
10
 
 
written consent voids the attempted assignment, delegation or transfer and is of no effect as to the Services or this Agreement. No approvals given by the Commissioner, including approvals for the use of any Subcontractors, operate to relieve Contractor of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.
  1. All Subcontractors are subject to the prior approval of the Commissioner. Approval for the use of any Subcontractor in performance of the Services is conditioned upon performance by the Subcontractor in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If any Subcontractor fails to perform the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the satisfaction ofthe Commissioner, the City has the absolute right upon written notification to immediately rescind approval and to require the performance of this Agreement by Contractor personally or through any other City-approved Subcontractor. Any approval for the use of Subcontractors in the performance ofthe Services under this Agreement under no circumstances operates to relieve Contractor of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.
  2. Contractor, upon entering into any agreement with a Subcontractor, must furnish upon request of the Commissioner a copy of its agreement. Contractor must ensure that all subcontracts contain provisions that require the Services be performed in strict accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, provide that the Subcontractors are subject to all the terms of this Agreement and are subject to the approval ofthe Commissioner.
  3. The City reserves the right to assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its interests under this Agreement to any successor.
 
2.15    Incorporation of Proposal; Performance Standards
 
The Contractor's proposal, dated December 21, 2012, and all other documentation provided to the City pertaining to the RFP, contained various promises with respect to the Services and the System to be provided by the Contractor. Such promises are incorporated in this Agreement. Any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the promises made in the proposal shall be decided in favor ofthe Agreement; the sole purpose of including the proposal is to ensure that Contractor will be obligated to perform all ofthe promises in the proposal.
 
Nothing in Section II of Exhibit 1 is meant to diminish Contractor's responsibility to perform every obligation in this Agreement, or to limit City's rights in law or equity in case of default.
 
ARTICLE 3. DURATION OF AGREEMENT
 
3.1     Term; Schedule of Performance
 
(a) Term: The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier pursuant to its terms or extended pursuant to Section 3.3 below, shall terminate 2 years from the Effective Date.
 
11
 
 
(b) Schedule: Contractor must meet the schedule contained in Exhibit 2 for its implementation and performance of the Services.

Contractor acknowledges that time is of the essence and that the failure of Contractor to comply with the schedule may result in economic or other losses to the City.
  1. Extension Options
 
The Commissioner, before this Agreement expires, may extend the Agreement for 3 periods of one year each, by providing written notices to the Contractor.
 
ARTICLE 4. COMPENSATION
  1. Contractor's Compensation
 
Contractor will receive no compensation from the City for the performance of the Services herein. Contractor will obtain its compensation only from charging a fee to WAV Taxicabs, which is set forth in Exhibit 2.
  1. City Compensation

  2. Non-Exclusivity of Remedies. The remedies under the terms of this Agreement are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided, but each and every such remedy is cumulative and is in addition to any other remedies, existing now or later, at law, in equity or by statute.

  2. Contractor must include in its contracts with Subcontractors an early termination provision in form and substance equivalent to this early termination provision to prevent claims against the City arising from termination of subcontracts after the early termination.
  3. If the City's election to terminate this Agreement for default under Sections 8.1 and 8.2 is determined in a court of competent jurisdiction to have been wrongful, then in that case the termination is to be considered to be an early termination under this Section 8.3.
 
8.4 Suspension
 
The City may at any time request that Contractor suspend its Services, or any part of them, by giving 15 days prior written notice to Contractor or upon informal oral, or even no notice, in the event of emergency.

Open Doors Organization
 
 
Open Doors Organization is a disability advocacy 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization based in Chicago, which works in the travel and tourism industry to promote better accessibility for travelers with disabilities. ODO represents that it is the go-to organization worldwide for travel and tourism accessibility. The organization further represents that it has been leading the way in every aspect of disability advocacy, from changing national laws to helping corporations increase accessibility and market to customers with disabilities; works as a liaison between customers and service providers in the travel, transportation and tourism; has been intimately involved in the taxi industry for the last decade; and, played a major role in developing the original Centralized Dispatch. ODO purports that it therefore understands what the endeavor involves and how it should be run to maximize driver and customer satisfaction.
 
Driven Solutions, LLC
 
Open Doors Organization will subcontract to Chicago-based technology development company Driven Solutions, LLC to provide the technological innovation necessary to create a progressive Dispatch system that fully meets the requirements of this Agreement. ODO represents that Driven Solutions has adapted ground breaking, GPS-based technology to provide streamlined and convenient taxicab dispatch service to people with disabilities. Driven Solutions' business philosophy on implementing this important service is rooted in three critical tenets: 1)
everyone, regardless of race, income, location or ability, should have access to fast, safe and affordable transportation; 2) public chauffeurs should have access to technology that will help increase their income and improve their job satisfaction; and 3) this is best achieved through a public-private partnership between the City of Chicago and the purveyors of leading-edge technology in the private sector.
 
Introduction
 
Contractor shall perform the Services in a manner that will better serve people with disabilities and will incentivize WAV drivers, affiliates and medallion owners to actively participate in the WAV Taxicab Centralized Dispatch Service.
 
By increasing incentives to drivers who respond quickly and serve their customers well, and by disciplining drivers who ignore their responsibilities, a system of better, more efficient, more accountable, technology-oriented service in Chicago can be created.
 
ODO represents that with its nearly 13 years of experience in the field of accessible travel and transportation, it is the highly qualified, deeply knowledgeable choice to ensure that people with disabilities are well-served.
 
Drivers will be able to process TAP vouchers (issued by the RTA and PACE to eligible people with a disability for transportation payment) and ODO will track compliance by drivers in
 
 
i
responding to requests for WAV dispatch.
 
Contractor will implement extensive automated data tracking and GPS location data regarding WAV taxicabs. In addition, ODO will provide the City data on use ofthe "short lane" at the airports by those drivers that receive "short lane" vouchers as an incentive. Contractor will form a WAV Committee, which will meet quarterly, with drivers, people with a disability, and government officials, to continue to improve dispatch services to people who use wheelchairs.
 
Implementation Plan
 
Contractor's implementation plan aims to improve accessibility, efficiency, accuracy, speed, accountability and revenue in the centralized WAV dispatch.
 
The WAV Taxicab Centralized Dispatch Service, with the exception of integration directly into the taxicab meters, will be operational by May 1, 2013. Prior to that date, Contractor will pilot the program with a small number of WAV taxicabs and drivers. All associated design, programming, and fixes will be completed by May 1, 2013.
 
Plan for Accountability and Training of Drivers
 
Because the key to dispatch is having the drivers respond to the dispatch call, Contractor shall use a combination of driver incentives to assure response to dispatch calls for WAV taxicabs.
 
1. Accountability
 
Total Quality Score (TQS): Driven Solutions' Snag technology has developed and will implement a system for deriving a composite WAV performance score. The score will be continually tabulated in real time and each data point will be weighted according to its importance to the efficient and timely dispatch of WAV taxicabs. The score will be based upon the following criteria:
  1. Percentage of WAV taxicabs operating;
  2. Percentage of WAV taxicab dispatch calls completed and not completed;
  1. Average WAV taxicab arrival times
  2. Average distance traveled to pick up passengers
  3. Descriptive data on all complaints, comments, and inquiries received
 
Drivers will be ranked by their TQS, which data will be available to the City to aid its assessment of the WAV drivers nominated for the annual WAV taxicab driver award pursuant to 9-112-575.
 
Refusal to accept WAV dispatch, bad customer service, or late arrival will be progressively disciplined, from mandating classes to notifying WAV owners that the driver should not be driving a WAV taxicab as they are not using the WAV taxicab to pick up customers who use wheelchairs. All disciplinary actions will be forwarded to the City for entry into the drivers' files.
 
 
Commitment to serve community members with a disability and excellent customer service will be progressively awarded, including awards of vouchers for use at the airports allowing the drivers access to immediate dispatch to the terminals without wait (commonly referred to as the "short'" or "fast" lane at the airports) and gift cards (for food and/or gas).
 
2. Training
 
Training is essential to the success of this program. A well-trained WAV taxicab driver will result in improved customer service for people with a disability and higher incomes for a driver.
 
ODO has created and will implement a full-day curriculum which covers: an overview ofthe laws and regulations that govern taxicab drivers; the definition and different types of disabilities; common courtesies and appropriate language; service animals; how to improve revenues by serving community members with a disability, and customer service skills for working with any type of disability, including blindness, deafness, and mobility limitations.
 
Customer Assurances
 
Snag technology will improve the Centralized WAV Dispatch by ensuring passengers get the right kind of transportation as quickly as possible. Technology will allow passenger and driver to communicate to verify pick-up times and locations. Snag Tek will install Android devices in all WAV taxicab by May 1, 2013.
All technology will be hands free and include text to speech for safe use by driver.
 
 
 
The Snag application provides map-based visuals ofthe taxicab location while en route to the passenger, so that he or she knows the cab is coming, and allows customers to choose whether a non-WAV taxicab will be suitable. The technology will also allow the customer to specify a preference for a particular type of WAV - such as a van, CNG, or hybrid.
 
Snag can schedule rides up to two days in advance and has implemented an innovation feature to ensure accuracy: if the call is more than 24 hours in advance of pick-up. Snag will identify the primary driver for the fare and a secondary driver who will assume the fare should the primary driver forget or neglect the fare. The Snag application also sends reminders to drivers for advance scheduled rides.
Customers may call (800) WAV_TAXI on a 24-hour-per-day basis seven days a week. Accessibility for Customers
Integration with phone voice controls: All Snag notifications can be translated into voice for
 
 
people with a visual disability by integrating with smart phone voice control features.
 
Text-based dispatch and arrival alerts: Snag provides options for text dispatch for people with a communication disability. Text and vibration alerts keep passengers informed on location and arrival of their taxicab.
 
Multiple arrival alerts: Snag sends multiple arrival alerts to several phone numbers, should a person with a disability rely on a doorman, relative or attendant to assist them to the taxicab.
 
 
 
Staffing and Management
  1. Management
 
ODO Executive Director Eric Lipp, an experienced organizational leader and expert in the field transportation for people with a disability, will manage dispatch staff and operations.
 
Finance & Reporting: ODO staff trained in financial auditing and reporting will be the City's point of contact for reports and transfers of revenue shares.
 
WAV Training: Laurel Van Horn,. ODO Program and Research Director, an experienced trainer, will oversee America's most extensive and progressive WAV taxicab training program.
  1. ODO Staff
 
The following are minimum staffing levels to be provided by Contractor. Contractor will provide such additional staffing, beyond the minimum levels contained herein, as necessary at its sole cost and expense, to perform the Services to the level required in this Agreement.
 
Dispatchers: ODO will employ six full-time Dispatchers, who will cover three 8 V2 hour shifts (two per shift) for 24-hour coverage.
Two part-time dispatchers will relieve night shift workers and support peak travel periods during holidays and special events. A Dispatch Manager will oversee the dispatchers and dispatch calls.
 
The Dispatcher position, which requires extensive customer services abilities, involves taking requests from customers with disabilities, ensuring that drivers meet customer needs, logging complaints and commendations, tracking driver statistics, and assisting the Dispatch Manager in ensuring that all record keeping is accurate. The company benefit package, including health insurance and compensation, depends on experience, but will begin at $10.0 per hour.

Technology
 
a. Driven Solutions
 
Driven Solution's Snag technology is founded on business policies and procedures that honor all stakeholders, including drivers, government officials, passengers and medallion owners and affiliations. Driven Solutions will do the following:
 
  1. Beta test everything: Snag beta tests all new technology developments in two ways: 1) submitting new developments to technical tests, and 2) then, submitting them to tests by users to ensure ease of use for the end user.
  2. Keep accurate records: It is Driven Solutions' policy to automatically update, backup and externalize data every 12 hours to ensure the integrity of our records. Long-term and real time data will be accessible to the City at all times via the online WAV Data Center. Snag staff is also dedicated to running special data reports periodically and upon special request.
  3. Verify and confirm service completion: Driven Solutions' commitment to consumers and to the City of Chicago is not just to connect passengers to cabs, but also to support the sale and complete the service. Therefore, a transaction is not closed until Snag can verify: 1) that a passenger was picked up within 30 minutes, in the right kind of vehicle, or 2) that the fare was canceled by the passenger or neglected by the driver.
  4. Respond to all requests and complaints: Snag has staff dedicated to processing and responding to input from all stakeholders. No inquiry goes unanswered. Snag achieves this in two ways: 1) by performing a system-wide diagnosis for bugs identified by users; 2) by then responding to all input with a written explanation or fix for the inquiry.
  5. Integrate with industry: It is Snag's policy to comply with all rules and regulations that govern the Chicago taxicab industry and to adopt business practices that enhance and augment the economic viability of the taxicab industry. Snag is the industry's technical support, not its competitor.
  6. Track and locate: By integrating its application to operate with existing meters that are already approved for accuracy of meter on/off activity tracking, Snag can confirm the ability to maintain 99% accurate meter operation tracking. Snag GPS technology can locate WAV taxicabs in real time within a 200-foot tolerance.
  1. Equipment in Hospitals and Medical Centers
 
Technology such as iPads or iPad Minis will be installed in hospitals, medical centers, and other key areas such as dialysis centers and hotels. Installation will be ongoing, beginning July 1, 2013 with a pilot program. A minimum of one hundred (100) devices will be installed throughout the city by October 31, 2013. Exact location ofthe devices will be determined by forecasted community demand and will adjust based on usage.
 
Community Outreach
 
A critical strength of the proposal is ODO's relationship and credibility with the disability community.
  1. WAV Advisory Committee
 
The committee will assist in beta tests of new Snag app features and guide the actions and strategy of the WAV Taxicab Centralized Dispatch Service and training programs. The WAV Advisory Committee will be comprised of members from all stakeholder groups, including
 
 
drivers, owners, community activists and government officials. The committee will convene quarterly.
  1. Workshops
 
Several workshops will allow individuals to experience the WAV Taxicab Centralized Dispatch Service's offerings in person. ODO will hold forums throughout the city to inform the community about the WAV Taxicab Centralized Dispatch Service. ODO will also participate in the consumer education series with the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities at the Access Chicago event.
  1. Social Media
 
The disability community is tech savvy. Through Facebook, Twitter, lnstagram and other social media sites, ODO/Driven Solutions will build an online community where ideas, complaints and connections are facilitated to help improve WAV service in Chicago and make it fun for users.
  1. Post on Applevis
 
Applevis.com empowers users of Apple products and related applications who are blind are have low-vision. By listing the Snag app for open integration on Applevis, it will become easily accessible to thousands of people with visual disabilities.
  1. Live phone calls
 
ODO/Driven Solutions will acquire phone numbers of known WAV and TAP users and execute phone banking to communicate with individuals one-on-one. A prepared script will inform targeted individuals about the WAV Taxicab Centralized Dispatch Service. When necessary, customer support will call and provide individuals with smart phones one-on-one instruction for downloading the Snag app.
 
Public Relations
 
ODO/Driven Solutions will engage the press to garner earned media exposure on television, in print, online, on the radio and especially in publications targeted at the disability community.
