CORPUS CHRISTI REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY

Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority - Project Selection Process Procedures

January 19, 2019

Project Selection Process

Project selection begins with capital needs assessment/identification which then leads to the development of projects within the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority’s (CCRTA’s) annual Capital Improvement Program This work is then supplemented by various age and condition assessment and safety needs Some of these considerations are incorporated into system performance requirements identified within the FAST Act (Section 1.7). Transit projects are prioritized based on an estimation of need, age, condition and future demand for each proposed service or project. These priorities determine which projects may proceed with respect to environmental and engineering studies and right of way acquisition, if necessary. Projects are then proposed for inclusion within the TIP based on the completion of any necessary studies, the acquisition of any necessary right of way and a formal commitment of necessary funds.

Transit projects generally include all federal operating funds allocated to Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority during the 4-year scope of the TIP. In addition, all capital purchases are included, based on need and a commitment of necessary funds. Other transit projects are evaluated in conjunction with the Transit 20/20 a separate transit route study, the results of which are incorporated into the MTP. Similar to highway projects, these projects are proposed for inclusion based on the completion of necessary studies, the availability of necessary funds and system performance requirements identified within the FAST Act (Section 1.7).

Priority within the TIP is determined by the year in which the project is programmed. Projects programmed for FY 2019 are considered to be the highest priority and may be implemented as soon as plans are complete and funds are available. Projects programmed for FY 2020 are considered a secondary priority and projects programmed for FY 2021 and 2022 are considered a tertiary priority.

Fiscal Constraint

Each identified phase of work within the TIP must have a formal commitment of funding prior to consideration. Projects lacking this commitment for a significant portion of the project cost cannot be programmed into the TIP.

Regional Performance Targets and Relationship to TIP Priorities

Transportation Performance Management (TPM) is federally required through the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. It is a strategic approach that uses goals, measures and data to make better informed decisions about how to invest transportation funding resulting in a better performing national transportation system with greater public benefit. Emphasis is placed on efficient delivery of goods and safe reliable journeys to work, school, shopping and community activities. Funding is intended to be targeted toward projects aimed at achieving national performance goals for improving the safety, reliability and condition of roadway facilities that are a part of the National Highway System (NHS) and regional transit systems.

CORPUS CHRISTI REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY

Future long range transportation plans and short range implementation programs (MTPs and TIPs) developed by the CCRTA are required to demonstrate a performance based decision process that ties back to performance targets.. Performance measures focus on transportation system safety, and transit safety and asset condition.

The Transit Asset Condition performance rule (TAM) establishes national performance requirements to assess the condition of regional transit networks relative to a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) definition of State of Good Repair (SGR). SGR is the condition in which a capital asset is able to operate at a full level of performance. The premise of the rule is condition of assets should guide funding prioritization in order to meet the national goal of strategically and systematically maintaining the nation’s transit networks in good condition.

Transit Asset Management

Every year in coordination with the Corpus Christi MPO, the CCRTA sets asset condition targets for three federally required transit asset performance measures for the regional transportation system. These measures focus on assessing the condition of rolling stock (e.g., buses and passenger vans), the condition of equipment (e.g., maintenance vehicles) and the condition of transit facilities (transit stations, maintenance shops).


SUMMARY 3

A summary of the MPO’s (or State’s) expected results in terms of achieving the adopted targets through implementation of the projects selected. It may be, based on the nature, type of magnitude of those transit projects, that the expected result will be minimal, none, or unknown, and that is acceptable.

2. Introduction of Visiting Agency Officials

San Patricio Judge Elect David Krebs, Ms. Sharon Montez, Ms. Christina Perez (RTA) and all in attendance were welcomed.

3. Public Comments

Judge Simpson called for public comment on TPC agenda items; none were offered.

4. Approval of the November 1, 2018 TPC Special Meeting Minutes

Mr. Zahn made a motion to approve the November 1, 2018 TPC Meeting Minutes. Mayor Skurow seconded; motion passed unanimously.

5. Presentation, Discussion and Possible Action

A. Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan. Presenter: Sharon Montez, Managing Director of Capital Programs.

Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires all transit agencies who provide public transportation and receive federal financial assistance to develop a TAM Plan. Ms. Montez presented RTA’s TAM Plan that aims to achieve and maintain a State of Good Repair (SGR) condition for RTA’s assets to deliver the performance-based service. Current RTA’s assets, non-revenue vehicles, rolling stock/buses, and facilities satisfied the FTA’s useful life benchmark and are considered in good condition. RTA uses the useful life, asset age, and vehicle mileage/age for their asset condition assessment and is using several strategies such as risk management, maintenance, overhaul, disposal, and acquisition and renewal, to prioritize investment and prepare five-year capital replacements and comply with the FTA’s SGR requirement.

Judge Simpson made a motion to adopt the RTA’s TAM Plan. Mayor Skurow seconded; motion passed unanimously.

B. RTA Transit Projects Amendment to the FY 2019-2022 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and 2015-2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). Presenter: Christina Perez, DBE/EEO Compliance Officer.

Ms. Perez presented the proposed amendment to the FY 2019-2022 TIP based on the Capital Investment Plan and routine purchase/maintenance of assets. Most projects are routine in nature, such as replacement of vehicles, shelter amenities and improvements, and this amendment is for specifying the projects and their cost. Three major facility projects: Port/Ayers Station renovation, Del Mar South Campus Transfer Station, and Bear Lane Bus Parking Lot Improvement are programmed in FY 2020. Westside Station near Del Mar College is programmed in FY 2022. Port/Ayers Station Renovation project is expected to complete within 18 months and Del Mar South Campus Transfer Station is expected to complete within 12 months in two phases. The first phase would be the turn-off drive, sidewalks, shelter

pad, 50% of the overall covered shelter, and related infrastructure construction. The second phase would be another shelter pad, and the rest of the overall covered shelter and related infrastructure construction. Westside Station near Del Mar College is still under the concept development at this point and more detail will be provided after the concept is finalized.

Judge Simpson asked if the Del Mar South Campus Transfer Station’s two phases are both in FY 2020. Ms. Montez responded that the two phases are planned to be in FY 2020.

Judge Simpson made a motion to approve the requested TIP and MTP amendments. Mr. Zahn seconded; motion passed unanimously.

C. Discussion and possible action to select a third-party recruiting agency to recruit for the position of the MPO Director.

Mayor Skurow briefed the current status of recruitment efforts for the MPO Director. The job opening was advertised via Nueces County Human Resources webpage and other resources such as caller.com and indeed.com for two weeks and received two applicants. The opening period was extended for another two weeks and we received another two applicants. The ad-hoc committee will meet and review these four applications. Meanwhile, MPO sent 27 Request for Qualification (RFQ) to the recruitment agencies with the help of City of Corpus Christi and Nueces County Human Resources Office and received two RFQs from Renee’s Narloch & Associates and GovHRUSA. Renee’s Narloch& Associates is a Texas-based, boutique-style agency and GovHRUSA is a Florida-based, relatively large agency and both are considered qualified firms. Mayor Skurow recommended Renee’s Narloch & Associate as the recruiting agency for the MPO Director search. Mayor Skurow also informed that Nueces County Human Resources agreed to advertise the Director’s salary range as “negotiable,” and the ad-hoc committee would make a recommendation based on the candidate’s qualification upon reviewing the application and submit it to the TPC.

Mr. Martinez inquired that the hiring of the agency would be simultaneously done with the reviewing of potential applicants. Mayor Skurow answered that the execution of contract with Renee’s Narlock & Associate would be after the ad-hoc committee’s review and recommendations for the potential candidates.

Mr. Zahn made a motion to approve the recommendation to hire Renee’s Narlock & Associate. Judge Simpson seconded; motion passed unanimously.
