holding area. The Authority will advise the Contractor in writing
thirty (30) days prior to any construction on this site. The Authority
is not obligated to provide the Contractor with substitute holding
area.
ARTICLE III. SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. This Contract grants the Contractor the exclusive right to operate a Shared
Ride service, (defined in Section IV (A) herein) from the Airports to
points within the Washington Metropolitan Area, according to the following
schedule. During the first Contract Year, the Contractor shall operate the
Shared Ride service, at a minimum, between Washington National Airport, the
Authority's Downtown Airports Terminal located at 0000 X Xxxxxx, X.X,
Xxxxxxxxxx, X.X., and approximately seventy-five (75) hotels in the
Downtown Washington area, listed in Exhibit G. No later than the first day
of the second Contract Year, the Contractor shall provide the service from
Washington National Airport to all residential, business and government
addresses in the Washington Metropolitan Area. The Contractor may also
implement Shared Ride service from Washington Dulles International Airport
on the first day of the second Contract Year, and must provide this service
from Dulles Airport to all residential, business and government addresses
in the Washington Metropolitan area by the last day of the second Contract
Year. The Washington Metropolitan Area is defined as the District of
Columbia; the Maryland counties of Xxxxxxxxxx, Prince George's and Xxxxxxx;
the Virginia counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince Xxxxxxx;
and the Virginia independent cities of Alexandria, Fairfax,

Falls Church, Herndon, Manassas and Manassas Park. Shared Ride service is
to be provided to patrons upon demand by the patron. Service is to be
provided, in a timely manner, in vans to patrons travelling to the same or
similar destinations. This exclusive right is subject to the following
limitations:
1. Shared Ride service may be provided to and from the Airports by
persons or entities other than the Contractor to the extent such
service is permitted by the Metropolitan Washington Airports
Regulations, as may be amended from time to time. The Authority's
regulations allow passengers to be dropped off at the Airport by
vehicles other than the Contractor's, but prohibit passenger pick-up
by non-Contractor vehicles unless such service has been prearranged by
the passenger and the operator of the non-Contractor vehicle, and the
operator of the non-Contractor service has a record of the name of the
person to be picked up, the point of pick-up and the time the request
was made. The Authority agrees to use its best efforts to enforce
these regulations.
2. Motels, hotels, rental car companies, parking operators and similar
establishments may provide "courtesy" transportation to and from the
Airports for their patrons.
3. The Authority shall have the right to provide or to enter into
contracts with others for the right to provide ground transportation
services other than Shared Ride services, such as, but not restricted
to: limousine and executive sedan services, taxicab service, and motor
coach service on a scheduled, unscheduled, regular route or irregular
route basis. For example, the Authority has granted a third party the
exclusive right to manage and dispatch taxi service at Washington
Dulles International Airport.
B. The Contractor may, at its discretion, provide Shared Ride service to the
Airports from points in the Metropolitan Washington Area for persons in
need of such service, subject to all laws and regulations enacted by the
governmental authorities with jurisdiction over such service. The Authority
will use its best efforts to assist the Contractor in obtaining rights from
other jurisdictions to pick up passengers for transport to the Airports.
C. In the event that the Contractor is unable to provide the level of service
required herein because of the general non-availability of fuel supplies,
the failure to provide the service required by this Contract shall not be
considered a default under Article IX., of the Standard Provisions attached
hereto. Under such circumstances, the Authority reserves the right to
contract with others to provide temporary transportation service to and
from the Airports throughout the term of the Contract, until such time as
the Contractor notifies the Authority of its ability to resume service in
accordance with the provisions of the Contract.

ARTICLE IV. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Service.
1. The Contractor shall establish and operate at Washington National and
Washington Dulles International Airports an exclusive Shared Ride
service, affiliated with the Washington Flyer transportation system,
to transport passengers to and from the Airports, the Downtown
Airports Terminal, and other points within the Washington Metropolitan
Area, as defined in Article III.A. This service shall be operated in a
manner consistent with the provisions of this Contract, and that will
meet the transportation needs of all passengers and accompanying
baggage at the Airports terminal buildings and the Airport's fixed
base operator facilities.
Shared ride service is defined as a service in which passengers will
share vans with other passengers travelling between the Airports and
the same or proximate locations. Each van operated in the Shared Ride
service may make up to three stops when travelling to or from the
Airports, unless one of the following three circumstances, as
described in the Contractor's proposal (Exhibit B), applies,
permitting more than three stops to be made:
a. A travel emergency may only be declared by the Contractor's
Operations Manager and is defined to include such occurrences as
a natural disaster or extremely inclement weather conditions that
result in extraordinary travel conditions, or a special event
that results in road restrictions and closures (e.g.,
Presidential Inaugurations).
b. Holiday restrictions are defined as those holiday periods of
extraordinarily high transportation demand (e.g. Thanksgiving and
Christmas) that necessitate the addition of extra stops to
accommodate an increased number of service requests.
c. Express Areas are defined as clearly delineated, published areas
in which the Contractor has determined that customary passenger
density is so high that the occurrence of more than three stops
within close proximity would not likely increase the average
amount of time the passenger would spend in the van, as compared
to a Shared Ride van making three stops outside the Express Area.
The Contractor shall provide the Authority with a detailed
description of its proposed Express Areas as part of its
Operations and Procedures Manual.
2. The Contractor shall conduct its activities under the Contract in a
manner which is at all times consistent with the laws and regulations
enacted by any
Concession Contract
Contract No. MWAA-C3-96-O1
Page 5 of 26

governmental authority having jurisdiction over its operations and
shall possess all required permits and licenses. Copies of said
permits and licenses shall be provided by the Contractor to the
Authority upon request.
3. To ensure a high level of customer service, the Contractor shall,
during the term of the Contract, at its own cost and expense:
a. Establish and operate an automated Shared Ride dispatch and
control system using personnel who are thoroughly trained to
provide for the effective and efficient movement and utilization
of vehicles and personnel. Within thirty (30) days after the
commencement date of the Initial Period of the Contract, the
Contractor must provide to the Authority a full and complete
Operations and Procedures Manual for the central automated
dispatch and control system, describing current capabilities and
limitations and potential for growth. Backup systems and
emergency procedures to be followed in the event of primary
system failure must also be described. The system must provide
for rapid reservations and ticketing from all non-Airport points
of origin including, but not limited to, hotels, convention
centers, and residences within the Washington Metropolitan Area.
The Operations and Procedures Manual may be updated by the
Contractor as necessary. Any updates to this Manual shall be
provided to the Authority prior to their implementation.
b. Acquire, install and operate a dedicated frequency by which to
maintain radio contact between the Contractor's central dispatch
system, its (curbside) Guest Coordinators and all of its van
operators in the Washington Metropolitan Area. The Contractor's
telephone reservation and dispatching location shall be operated
twenty-four (24) hours daily.
c. Equip Guest Coordinators with communications equipment
specifically allowing them to maintain radio contact with the
vehicle holding area and thereby provide an efficient flow of
vehicles between the holding areas and the loading areas.
d. Guest Coordinators shall assist all passengers as needed,
including the physically disabled, assign passengers to vehicles,
and coordinate the vehicle flow between the holding and loading
areas. The guest coordinators shall be courteous and helpful and
shall at all times conduct themselves in a manner which reflects
positively upon the Contractor and the Authority.
e. Require that the operators of all vans used to provide passenger
service to
Concession Contract
Contract No. MWAA-C3-96-O1
Page 6 of 26
9
and from the Airports load and unload passenger baggage at curb
side promptly, carefully, courteously and efficiently, exercising
reasonable control over baggage to prevent its theft or loss.
Require that the operators of all vehicles conduct themselves in
a courteous manner to passengers during each trip.
f. Provide, throughout the term of this Contract, the full-time and
part-time staffing as shown in Exhibit B of this Contract. The
Contractor's staffing may be reduced only after the Contractor
receives written approval of such reduction from the Authority.

Authority. The Contractor shall notify the Authority in writing
of any changes in management personnel and schedules. The
Operations Manager(s) shall maintain office hours at least eight

number of the Operations Manager or other supervisory employee
who can be contacted by the Authority in the event of an
emergency.
g. Promptly and courteously respond to, and resolve to the extent
possible, customer complaints made directly to the Contractor by
the customer or made to the Authority and referred by the
Authority to the Contractor. A record of all such complaints
shall be maintained by the Contractor throughout the term of this
Contract. The Contractor shall within three (3) calendar days of
the date in which a written complaint is first received, either
as a passenger complaint referred by the Authority or as a
complaint made directly to the Contractor, make an appropriate
written response to the customer. If further action on the
complaint is required, the initial response may consist of an
acknowledgment of the complaint and a statement of further action
or investigation to be taken by the Contractor. When such further
action or investigation is complete, a follow-up response will be
sent to the customer. Customer complaints which are received by
telephone are to be responded to immediately by telephone and, if
appropriate, in writing. The Contractor shall submit to the
Authority a copy of each complaint report prepared by the
Contractor and the Contractor's written response to or record of
telephone discussions with the customer to resolve such
complaints. The Contractor shall also provide a copy of its
procedures for handling customer complaints to the Authority for
approval within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the
Contract.

the operators of all vehicles maintain a neat and clean
appearance at all times while on duty.
i. Establish a notification form which will list all Authority rules
and regulations applicable to operating vehicles on the Airports.
The purpose of this form is to ensure formal notification to each
driver of the applicable rules and regulations governing the
right to operate a vehicle on the Airports. The Contractor shall
provide a copy of the form to the Authority. Copies of all
Authority regulations will be provided to the Contractor prior to
commencement of operations.
j. Ensure that all drivers have a current, valid operator's permit

Authority shall specify from time to time. The Contractor shall
also cooperate fully with any survey of Shared Ride service
conducted by the Authority.
4. The Contractor shall develop a written procedure to suspend a driver
for failure to obey the orders of the guest coordinator or for a
serious violation of the motor vehicle laws and regulations of any

ARTICLE V OBLIGATIONS OF THE AUTHORITY
A. Collection of Shared Ride Fares.
Fare collection at the Airports and at the Downtown Airports Terminal shall
be the responsibility of the Authority and will be accomplished through the
use of a separate contract issued by the Authority for ticketing services
for the Washington Flyer Ground Transportation System. The Authority will
use its best efforts to provide a level of staffing, to be mutually agreed
upon by the Authority and the Contractor, at ticket sales locations that is
appropriate to the level of passenger traffic anticipated and that is
consistent with quality passenger service. Revenues from Shared Ride ticket
sales collected at the Airports and the Downtown Terminal, as well as
points of other origin, shall be reported to the Contractor on a periodic
basis to be mutually agreed upon by the Contractor and the Authority.
1. National Airport: Ticket sales at Washington National Airport will be
conducted initially at Washington Flyer counter locations in the
Interim Terminal (in the bag claim area), and in the Main Terminal (at
the north end in the United Terminal, and in the south end in the
Northwest Terminal). When the new North Terminal opens, ticket sales
will be conducted at two the Ground Transportation Information Centers
(GTICs) at the bag claim level, at three ticket sales podiums located
at the north, center and south ends of the bag claim level, and at a
location in the Main Terminal proximate to passenger traffic (to be
determined by the Authority after final airline space assignments have
been made).
2. Washington Dulles International Airport: Ticket sales at Washington
Dulles International Airport will be conducted at Washington Flyer
counter locations in the East and West Ground Transportation Centers
within the Main Terminal.
X. Xxxxxxxxxx Flyer Ground Transportation System Marketing: The Authority
shall include the Shared Ride service in its efforts to market the
Washington Flyer Ground Transportation system, and shall use its best
efforts to incorporate input from the Contractor in the development of the
Washington Flyer annual marketing plan. The Authority's marketing program
currently includes, but is not limited to, preparation and distribution of
promotional materials, as well as participation in tourism and travel trade
shows.
C. Interactive Video System: The Authority currently employs a program of
general passenger information presented via interactive video kiosks.
Airport users can use the interactive video kiosks to obtain information
about the Airports, the region, airport services and ground transportation
options. In addition to providing general information to passengers, the
kiosks will also offer the capability to pre-arrange services through a
Concession Contract
Contract No. MWAA-C3-96-O1

direct telephone link and credit card reader located at the kiosks.
The Authority agrees to limit the information provided on the kiosks
regarding competitors of the Shared Ride service to that typically found in
"Yellow Pages" (telephone directory-type) listings. The Authority shall
configure the interactive video kiosks such that passengers cannot use the
direct phone link or credit card reader to arrange ground transportation
services directly with Shared Ride providers other than the Contractor.

The following provisions relate to the quality of the service that the Authority
expects to be provided to the public under the Contract. The Contractor agrees

denigrates the quality of the service, and therefore, is in violation of this

liquidated damages. The Authority will notify the Contractor within seven (7)

incident. Liquidated damages shall not be imposed for the first violation of
each type listed below observed by the Authority during each Contract Year; the
