BOARD COMMUNICATIONS: YOLO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT 350 Industrial Way, Woodland, CA 95776 --- (530) 661-0816

Topic: Approve Actions Associated with Rolling Stock (Bus) Rehabilitation and Replacement

Agenda Item #:

Agenda Type:

Deliberation/Action*

7 Attachments: Yes No

Prepared By: Terry Bassett Approved By: Meeting Date: April 8, 2013

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Yolo County Transportation District Board of Directors conceptually support the

following proposed revised approach to addressing CNG bus replacement needs and authorize its Executive Director to undertake the steps necessary to procure the rehabilitation and/or replacement of 13-17 buses at a total cost not to exceed $6,285,000, including specification writing, on-line inspection, travel expenses and $2,000 per bus in spare parts (a requirement in the contract with Veolia).

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION: These buses are in need of replacement or rehabilitation. YCTD has a mix of funds that will enable us to rehab

and/or replace 13-17 buses.

BACKGROUND: The 2012/13 YCTD includes $8,320,000 to replace 15 CNG transit buses. This amount included a State of Good

Repair grant that, unfortunately, did not materialize. YCTD has several funding sources secured that will allow us to be able to rehab and/or replace at least 13 buses, and perhaps as many as 17 buses, that will have reached the end of their useful lives on or after December 13, 2013. The following is a chart of funding sources:

*Total includes capital, specification writing, on line inspections, travel and $2,000 per bus in spare parts

REVENUES

One grant (#CA-90Y051) is being amended to use funds leftover from a previous project to rehab buses. We

have already received an informal verbal approval from the FTA for the amendment. The use of these funds as a part of the rehab/replace project will be subject to FTA formal approval in the form of a grant amendment. To make this proposal work, YCTD will also need to use a combination of its capital reserves and Section 5307 transit funds associated with the City of Woodland becoming a small urbanized area. Regarding the proposal to use Woodland area Section 5307

Page 8: YOLO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT April...February, 2013 ii. Capitol Corridor Train Ridership Chart Through March, 2013 and Ridership by Location Through February, 2013 iii. Streetcar

6

funds for bus replacement, that matter will be addressed in the proposed preliminary budget for next year. For now, the proposed procurement process will include two of the buses as optional.

YCTD owns 50 full-size buses and 10 paratransit vehicles. Seventeen (17) vehicles will either be over 12 years old or will have broken 500,000 miles (vehicle life before FTA will participate in replacement). The proposed improvements will address 34% of the fleet of full size buses.

We have recent experience rehabilitating buses. In 2010, staff issued a Request for Proposals for Compressed Natural Gas Bus Rehabilitation. 12 buses were included in the rehab contract with Complete Coach Works and are now in service. That project seemed to resonate with FTA Administrator Peter Rogoff during the Cap-to-Cap trip to Washington D.C. two years ago.

YCTD is in need of addressing 17 buses that have reached the end of their useful lives. While we would prefer to purchase all new buses, by using a mix of rehab and replacement, we can stretch the dollars to 13-17 buses. While we request that the authorization from your Board be somewhat flexible in terms of the mix of new versus rehabilitated buses, the funding amounts as proposed should allow us to purchase 9-10 new buses and rehabilitate 4-8 existing buses.

On the rehabilitation side, your board is forewarned that the CNG tanks on those 6-8 buses will need to be replaced in 2-3 years, at which time an additional $300,000-$400,000 will be needed.

To save money, we plan to use existing radios and fareboxes on all 15 buses. The video surveillance system; however, will be new.

BUDGET IMPACT: New bus procurements and rehabilitations will take 6-18 months to complete and will be built into next year’s

budget. A total of $8,320,000 was included in the adopted budget for 15 new CNG buses; however, spending $6,285,000 on 9-10 new buses and rehabilitating 4-8 existing ones could save the District roughly $1.7 million.

BOARD COMMUNICATION: YOLO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT 350 Industrial Way, Woodland, CA 95776---- (530) 661-0816

Topic: Receive Director’s Report

Agenda Item #: Agenda Type:

8 Deliberation/Action*

Attachments: Yes No Prepared By: Terry Bassett Approved By: Meeting Date: April 8, 2013

RECOMMENDATION: Items with a staff recommendation are in italics and marked with an asterisk below. Your board reserves the

right to take action on all items below.

BACKGROUND: a) Sacramento International Airport Ridership Activities—When U.C. Davis undergraduate students

take breaks around holidays or between quarters, there can be surges in Yolobus ridership by this group between the campus and Sacramento International Airport. The following photograph, taken in the afternoon of Sunday, March 31st (the end of Spring Break) illustrates how much students rely on Yolobus to get back to campus.

b) Madison Bus Stop Update— On Thursday, March 21st, YCTD staff and staff from Ponticello Engineering

(YCTD’s engineering contractor) presented a preliminary drawing of the Madison Bus Stop Improvements to the Madison Community Group. The meeting was just the first step in working with members of the Madison community on the planned bus stop improvements. Besides members of the Madison Community Group, representatives from the Madison Fire Department, Madison Lighting District and a staff member from Yolo County Supervisor Duane Chamberlin’s office were in attendance. The preliminary drawings were well received, with members of the meeting recognizing the need for the improvements. Three concerns about the improvements were brought to YCTD’s attention; water flow (flooding), lighting and traffic controls if Main Street is extended to County Road 89. YCTD staff will work with Ponticello Engineering and Yolo County Planning and Public Works staff on solutions to all three concerns.

c) Courthouse Related Meeting—On March 15th, I met with Presiding Judge Steve Basha regarding the bus stop and shelter proposed on Main Street in front of the new courthouse. Based on that meeting, it appears that the porte cochere (Courthouse overhang) will be where passengers may be allowed to wait during inclement periods, rather than installing a bus shelter. We are still looking into matters related to bus stop signage and whether a real time electronic information sign across the street could be installed, rather than having an electronic sign installed on the courthouse side. Since then, we’ve learned that more work is needed, as there are certain city signage limitations, including around historic areas (e.g. downtown) that might restrict our options.

d) Transit Coordinating Committee/Federal Funding Subgroup—On April 2nd, SACOG hosted a second meeting on the next cycle of Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 funds associated with the Sacramento urbanized area. In the last cycle, YCTD was awarded $1,551,000 in FTA funds related to serving the Sacramento urbanized area. For this next cycle, the subgroup has recommended $1,534,000 for YCTD. $1,165,000 will be used for preventive maintenance and drive train overhauls and replacements, $231,000 will apply to ADA operations and $138,000 will be used to purchase two replacement paratransit vehicles.

YCTD has historically received and credited the City of West Sacramento $95,000 annually in Job Access/Reverse commute funds. That funding category has been collapsed into the 5307 category, but without additional funding—hence, there will no longer be the $95,000 credit to West Sacramento. Likewise, YCTD was using $60,000 annually in “New Freedoms” money for door-to-door service beyond ADA into the Sacramento urban area, for medical appointments only. Now, YCTD will need to apply for such funds under the State’s very competitive discretionary Section 5310 program.

Lastly, your Board needs to know that the transit federal funding subgroup will be getting together several times over the next year to assess the list of requested projects from multiple operators serving the Sacramento urbanized area to determine if some sort of equity measure, or barometer, should be developed and used before making recommendations in the next competitive round. I advise both YCTD and SACOG officials to use extreme caution with this approach, as FTA Region IX staff emphasizes project selection should be based on the merit and need of the project, not a formula. Furthermore, we found many inconsistencies in the accuracy and even existence of certain data from the various transit operators.

e) Update on Sacramento/West Sacramento Downtown/Riverfront Streetcar Project—The Policy Steering Committee (PSC) of the West Sacramento/Downtown Sacramento project met on March 29th. There is a revised Request for Qualifications on the street for the next phase of the work; namely, NEPA environmental work and some tasks under project development. Members from the Project Management Team, including YCTD’s Executive Director, will hear the proposals and pass on a recommendation for SACOG to consider. Attached is a listing of PSC meetings for the remainder of the calendar year, as well as a draft project implementation schedule
