The City of Atlanta City Council approved Ordinance 25-O-1368, authorizing the waiver of competitive source selection provisions to extend a sole source operations and maintenance contract with Alstom Transport USA, Inc. for the Automated Guideway Transit System (Plane Train) at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The extension is on a month-to-month basis for a period up to nine months, commencing July 1, 2025, and expiring on or before May 1, 2026. The total amount for this extension will not exceed $27,499,990.00. This action ensures the uninterrupted services of the critical Plane Train system while the Department of Aviation completes the competitive procurement process for a new long-term contract. The original agreement for these services was established in 2005 and had previously undergone two five-year renewal options before its expiration on June 30, 2025. The ordinance was adopted by the City Council with an 11-0 roll call vote.
