Providing passenger amenities is one way of attracting riders to the system; some potential passengers will choose other modes of transportation if riding the bus means they will have to wait in an unsheltered or unsafe location. Transit systems in other Texas cities have seen the benefits of indoor transit centers.and have chosen to invest in them: Abilene - A 16-bus system, has a transfer facility adjacent to its administrative offices. Port Arthur - A 10-bus system, has an unmanned transfer center across the alley from its administrative facility. Following the opening of the facility, and during a period. -of general economic decline in the region, Port Arthur Transit realized a three percent ridership increase. Waco - with 15 buses, currently plans to construct a transfer facility in a location that is separate from its administrative/maintenance facility. The large systems --Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio --have several types of transfer facilities throughout their service areas. Citibus has been interested in developing an off-street transfer facility for several years. In 1981, the transit department conducted a study and developed recommendations' for such a facility. One of the recommendations, to locate the facility at Broadway and Ave. K, was endorsed by the Transit Advisory Board, and was presented to City Council in the hope that Council would take action toward the completion of the project. However, the City Council recommended that a temporary facility be constructed. Citibus staff then selected the corner of Broadway and Texas and installed two bus shelters for use as a "temporary" facility. The "temporary" facility is still in use, and bus shelters are now located on every corner of the intersection. During FY88, a total of 261,245 Citibus passengers used transfers, which is 28.4 percent of the total number of fixed route passengers. Because of Citibus' route alignment, a very high percentage of these passengers make their transfers at Broadway and Texas Avenue. Since the temporary facility uses all four corners of the intersection, many passengers who are making transfers must cross at least one street to get to their bus, and a sizeable number must cross two streets. From a safety standpoint, an off-street transfer center would be a valuable addition to Citibus' fixed route service. During FY89, planning firm RTKL conducted a downtown revitalization plan for the City of Lubbock. One of the recommendations in the plan was to develop a major public square for use as a transit center. The site that was proposed by RTKL was a block bounded by Ave. G, 13th Street, Ave. H, and Broadway; it is one block -to the east of the existing transfer point. (See proposed site location, Figure 1.) The site is the most appropriate location in downtown for several reasons. Its proximity to the current transfer point and to the Citibus maintenance and administrative facility are important for smooth operations of the system. The physical condition of the site was a factor in its selection: for the most part, the site is vacant land, which reduces the costs for land acquisition and site preparation. (See current land uses, Figure 2.) In recommending the transit center as part of Lubbock's redevelopment plan, the RTKL study stated: The Urban Design Plan for Downtown Lubbock depicts the three-dimensional development guidelines:for the revitalization of downtown area through to the year 2000. The primary focus is on four distinct elements; the Core area enhancing program; the Retail Mall along 13th Street; Broadway Streetscape; and the Overton Park system. Development opportunities are based on findings from the market overview, site analysis and traffic volume projections. The development opportunities also derive their locational character from two other planning concepts --location within walking distance of the major downtown stakeholders and activity centers; and proximity or exposure to major existing and projected traffic volumes. The Stakeholder/Activity Centers (are located within) comfortable walking distances... from major activity center and Intown stakeholders. It becomes evident that several opportunity areas could be located along Broadway within walking distance of the Civic Center, financial/office core, Avenue Q, and Texas Tech. The plan identified a list of potential projects in the area, including the transit center, which was identified as "Trolley Square". The plan stated, "A major public square or event space should be developed on Broadway at the east end of downtown to serve as the terminus and turnaround for the Broadway trolley. The space could also serve as a transit hub for buses coming to the downtown area, where riders could switch from bus to trolley." 9tr 10th Current i 3tr.

There are tentative plans to relocate the dispatch and supervision functions to the facility, and the possibility of providing a concession area operated by a private concessionaire has been discussed. At the present service levels, and with the current pulse scheduling system, there are eleven routes that are downtown every thirty minutes during peak periods. The pulse system works well in a system of this size; there are no plans to change it. The benefits that Citibus could realize from such a facility are numerous: Citibus anticipates a ten to fifteen percent increase in passengers during the facility's first full year of operation. If the facility is opened during FY91, estimated passenger loads for FY92 are between 980,000 and 1,000,000 passengers. The convenience and service of the facility will result in a continuing steady increase of passengers. It is expected that potential passengers will be attracted to the system because of the increased convenience and enhanced security that the facility will afford. It will also be possible to integrate some DRS clients into the fixed route system at the transfer center. There would be increased passenger comfort, as there would be an indoor area to wait to transfer to another bus. An enclosed waiting area would provide additional security for waiting passengers, since the facility would be staffed throughout the times the routes are in service. Possible amenities that could be placed in the center include restrooms for passengers and bus operators; concessions, which could be operated under contract with a private concessionaire; pay phones; newspaper vending machines; Econocard sales and route schedule information; and a park or open area. There would be increased passenger safety, since passengers would not have to cross any streets in order to make their transfers. This is an important consideration during inclement weather, and during periods of heavy traffic conditions, and is especially important for passengers who are elderly or handicapped. A transfer center that provides areas for buses to pull off the street would be safer for automobile traffic, since it will help to resolve the current bus/car conflict. • Such a center would provide higher visibility for Citibus, thus promoting a positive image of the transit system. • The facility could serve as a major improvement in an area of downtown that is in a period of decline. The site that was recommended in the RTKL study is in the general area of the site that was originally recommended in' 1981. It is in an area that has declined, although it is adjacent to the Federal building, the Lubbock County Courthouse, -and the Lubbock County jail; the immediate area represents a sizeable investment of Federal funds. Figure 3 illustrates the site's location and adjacent land uses. None of the buildings on the site, or in the immediate area could be considered historic, and there are no parks in the area that would be impacted by development. .The site is not located in or near a wetlands area. The traffic volumes that are shown in Figure 4 are based upon current traffic levels and projections that were prepared by RTKL. The projected increases are due to changes in traffic patterns following completion of I- 27, which is approximately five blocks east of the proposed site. The facility itself will have little impact on traffic in the area, since the same number of buses are using the current transfer point. For the most part, the site itself is vacant land, and many of the lots are owned by Lubbock County: Lot # 1-2 Estimated Demolition Owner Current Land Use Est.

An appraisal will be completed prior to the time Citibus applies for capital funding for this project. ** The alleys in the targeted block are privately owned and must be acquired.as any other privately -owned -property. The total estimated project cost is as follows: Estimated Actual Value Appraisals Utilities Relocation (Burying existing above -ground utilities, including electric lines and telephone trunk lines) Demolition, Business Relocation Architectural/Engineering Construction and Landscaping Contingencies and Administration TOTAL $690,000 35,000 775,000 176,600 105,000 775,000 235,250 $2,791,850 An important consideration of the downtown redevelopment plan was to respect the needs of private sector developers. The RTKL study stated: The community must recognize the importance of private investment and the needs of the development industry. A flexible system of ... development control, sensitive to environmental as well as economic concerns must be developed, together with incentives that encourage adaptive reuse of buildings that are well located and structurally sound but lack a strong market for their original use. The city must develop creative public/private joint development opportunities and provide public improvements from the Tax Increment Financing funds in the form of public parking and other public amenities as incentives for. development. The city should accelerate the approval process, introduce more flexible zoning standards and persuade the banks (the largest stockholders in downtown) to provide low interest interim and permanent financing for new construction within the ... area. The proposed site is not currently within the established boundaries of the Tax Increment Financing district, but the development plan recommended an addition to the district that would include the site. Citibus staff proposes that the facility be constructed over a two-year period. The first year of the project would include land acquisition, business relocation, and demolition. The second year would include utilities relocation, and design, construction, and landscaping of the facility. The funding breakdown of the project, then, will be as follows: Year One Land $ 690,000 Appraisals 35,000 Demolition/Relocation 176,600 Preliminary Architectural/ 26,000 Engineering Contingencies 46,380 Administration 38,960 TOTAL i $1,012,940 Year Two Utilities Relocation $ 775,000 Architectural/Engineering 79,000 Construction and Landscaping 775,000 Contingencies 81,450 Administration 68,460 TOTAL $1,778,910 Citibus will examine several methods of funding the operating expenses of the facility, including transfer fees and/or having services provided by the private City Corp, Inc., an organization which has been formed to promote downtown revitalization. Citibus and the City of Lubbock considered private financing and/or operation of the facility; it was determined that such an arrangement would not be in.the best interests of the City. As part of a presentation to the Lubbock Public Transit Advisory Board on the proposed project, Citibus staff had preliminary architectural studies prepared. Although done.in a very conceptual manner, the studies were used to illustrate the possible uses of the site. The preliminary site plan included a building for dispatch/pass sales/route information and a series of detached, enclosed passenger waiting areas. The preliminary estimate of total enclosed square footage is approximately 6,500 square feet. The dispatch/supervision/concession area will be approximately 3,500 square feet and will include restrooms, and a waiting area. The passenger shelters will be approximately 1,5oo square feet each; they will be climate -controlled areas with seating. The preliminary site plan also includes sawtooth bus pullouts on two sides of the site, a parking area for the staff of the facility, landscaping, and an area for future expansion to inlcude the. proposed trolley system. Figure 5 illustrates the preliminary site plan. Bus Refurbishment Citibus' fleet of 34 GMC RTS-II buses was placed into service in 1980 and 1982. The buses that were placed into service in 1980, which are used primarily for Texas Tech University service, have an average of 248,312 miles on them. The remainder of the.fleet has an average of 266,046 miles. Due to routine wear, there are several items that are in need of replacement. Citibus staff anticipates that in addition to being able to use the buses for an additional five years before replacing them, the fleet refurbishing will increase fuel economy, reduce bus -caused air pollution, and enhance the overall image of the fleet. The items that will be done as part of the refurbishment project are: Body work, entire fleet Engine Rebuild, 26 coaches Transmission Rebuild, 15 coaches Radiator replacement, entire fleet Fuel System Replacement, entire fleet TOTAL Fareboxes Cost/Bus Total $ 8,837 $300,460 11,500 299,000 3,420 51,300 500 17,000 2,000 68,000 $735,760 Citibus plans to replace the current fareboxes with electronic, registering fareboxes. It is anticipated that this change will be helpful in meeting the goal of a ten percent increase in revenues during FY90. In addition, information that can be collected with electronic fareboxes will assist Citibus staff in preparing the annual Section 15 report, as well as assist in the gathering of other important planning data. The estimated total cost for this portion of the project is $179,000. x e rikilte 5 Proposed Site - Preliminary Site Plan Broadway Passenger Vaiting Area Dispatch /Pass Sales / Route Information / Concessions :.y 1 0 4 r• q w passenger Vaiting Area / Green Space/ Future Expansion 13th Street c� a North Radio System Citibus plans to replace the outdated radio system, which will greatly improve the communications between the Dispatch office and the bus operators. Good radio communication is very important in the DRS in order to keep operators updated as to.. changes in their schedules. The radios are also used to contact operators in case of emergency, either accident or weather - related emergencies. Working with the local police department, Citibus operators are trained to observe suspicious behavior or possible crimes in progress; radios play an instrumental part in this program. The estimated total cost for this portion of the project is $250,000. Computer System and Related Equipment, ID Camera, and Office. Copier The computer system will be used to computerize the Citibus" Department of Finance, and to implement a network that will -tie together the computer system in Maintenance (to be purchased with Technical Study funds during FY90), the computerized dispatch system (also purchased with Technical Study funds during FY90), and the computers already in use by the Manager of Administration and the Administrative Secretary. The ID camera will be used to replace the existing camera, which is frequently out of order. The camera is used to make employee identification cards as well as identification cards for handicapped persons who ride the bus handicapped persons are required to present a valid ID card in order to get the discounted fare. The office copier will replace the current copier, which has been in service since 1986. The estimated cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $86,000. Facility Improvements Due to the age of the facility, a variety of repairs are necessary. Repair and Seal Shop Floor This will involve reconstructing floor drains in the shop and applying sealant to the floor. The drains and sealant will be important in reducing the amount of maintenance that is needed to keep the shop floor clean. The drains are also important from a safety standpoint, as they will permit proper floor drainage. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $30,000. Replace Driveway, Alley, and Parking Lot with Concrete This will involve replacing the asphalt -paved bus lot with concrete paving, and replacing existing concrete on the driveway and alley with new.concrete. The bus lot will include sand traps to prevent oil leakage from leaving the property. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $155,000. Roof Repairs This will involve replacing fiberglass roof panels and repainting a portion of the shop ceiling that is stained from the roof leaking. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $25,000. Parts Room Renovation The renovation of the Parts Room will include expansion, replacing a door, and installing a security system. The expansion will permit more efficient use of the room. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $25,000. Fuel Storage Monitoring System In accordance with EPA regulations, Citibus will install a.system to monitor the underground fuel storage tanks in order to detect leakage. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $15,000. Repainting The interior of the Citibus facility has not been painted since the facility was completed in 1981. The areas to be painted include reception area, dispatch, drivers' break room, restrooms/locker rooms, and the administrative suite. It is estimated that this portion of the project will cost $5,000. Replace Bus Wash Facility The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $100,000, and will involve installing a complete bus wash system, expanding the existing building to accommodate the bus wash, and installing new plumbing, pumps, compressors, and tanks. The total cost of facility improvements is estimated at $355,000. Passenger Amenities This portion of the project will include developing bus shelters and pullouts on the Texas Tech University campus, replacing signs and benches on the fixed route, and installing additional bus shelters. Additional signs will be required following the route modifications which are scheduled for implementation during the second half of the year. The estimated cost is $450,000. Vans Citibus plans to replace two lift -equipped vans and add two additional lift -equipped vans to its DRS program. The vans that will be replaced will have approximately 150,000 miles on them by the time they are replaced. The estimated replacement cost will be $240,000. Pickup Citibus will replace its 1980 model one -ton pickup at an estimated cost of $20,000. Supervisorst cars Citibus will replace its two 1980 model supervisors cars, which are in very poor condition. The estimated cost is $24,000. Maintenance Shop Equipment Equipment that will be purchased includes steam cleaners, bus lifts, tire dolleys, and a hoist. The equipment will be required in order to complete the bus refurbishing portion of the capital grant. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $37,200. Funding Sources The funding for these projects will be provided by a variety of funding sources, including UMTA, Oil Overcharge Funds, State Public Transportation Fund, and the City of Lubbock. It is anticipated that projects which will be eligible for Oil Overcharge Funds will include the downtown transfer facility; bus refurbishment facility improvements, replacing fareboxes;. replacing the radio system; passenger amenities; and lift - equipped vans. Oil Overcharge Funds will account for 100 percent of the local share of these projects. The local funding for the remaining projects --computer system, ID camera, and copier; maintenance shop equipment; one ton pickup; and supervisors, cars --will be provided by the Public Transportation Fund (65 percent of the local match) and the City of Lubbock (35 percent of the local match). The anticipated funding breakdown for these projects follows: UMTA $2,886,864 Oil Overcharge Funds 644,540 Public Transportation Fund 50,164 City of Lubbock 27,012 TOTAL $3,608,580 Resolution # 3264 Item #5-C ecember-i4;=-983 PREPARED BY: Citibus DATE: f 1:4 *194W C00 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK: THAT the Mayor of the City of Lubbock BE and is hereby authorized and directed to execute for and on behalf of the City of Lubbock an application for a grant, under the Department of Transportation, Urban Mass Transportation ,Act of 1964, as amended, to provide for Capital and Operating Assistance for the period from April 1 1990,.4.t through September 30, 1991, which shall be spread upon the minutes of the Council and as spread upon the minutes of this Council shall constitute and be a part of the Resolution as if fully copied herein in detail.

Providing passenger amenities is one way of attracting riders to the system; some potential -passengers will choose other modes of transportation if riding the bus means they will have to wait in an unsheltered or unsafe location. Transit systems in other Texas cities have seen the benefits of indoor transit centers and have chosen to invest in them: Abilene - A 16-bus system, has a transfer facility adjacent to its administrative offices. Fort Arthur - A 10-bus system, has an unmanned transfer center across the alley from its administrative facility. Following the opening of the facility, and during a period. -of general economic decline in the region, Port Arthur Transit realized a three percent ridership increase. Waco - with 15 buses, currently plans to construct a transfer facility in a location that is separate from its administrative/maintenance facility. The large systems --Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio --have several types of transfer facilities throughout their service areas. Citibus has been interested in developing an off-street transfer facility for several years. In 1981, the transit department conducted a study and developed recommendations' for such a facility. one of the recommendations, to locate the facility at Broadway and Ave. K, was endorsed by the Transit Advisory Board, and was presented to City Council in the hope that Council would take action toward the completion of the project. However, the City Council recommended that a temporary facility be constructed. Citibus stAff then selected the corner of Broadway and Texas and installed two bus shelters for use as a "temporary" facility. The '°temporary" facility is still in use, and bus shelters are now located on every corner of the intersection. During FY88, a total of 261,245 Citibus passengers used transfers, which is 28.4 percent of the total number of fixed route passengers. Because of Citibus' route alignment, a very high percentage of these passengers make their transfers at Broadway and Texas Avenue. Since the temporary facility uses all four corners of the intersection, many passengers who are making transfers must cross at least one street to get to their bus, and a sizeable number must cross two streets. From a safety standpoint, an off-street transfer center would be a valuable addition to Citibus' fixed route service. During FY89, planning firm RTKL conducted a downtown revitalization plan for the City of Lubbock. One of the recommendations in the plan was to develop a major public square for use as a transit center. The site that was proposed by RTKL was a block bounded by Ave. G, 13th Street, Ave. H, and Broadway; it is one block to the east of the existing transfer point. (See proposed site location, Figure 1.) The site is the most appropriate location in downtown for several reasons. Its proximity to the current transfer point and to the Citibus aintenance and administrative facility are important for smooth operations of the system. The physical condition of the site was a factor in its selection: for the most part, the site is vacant land, which reduces the costs for land acquisition and site preparation. (See current land uses, Figure 2.) In recommending the transit center as part of Lubbock's redevelopment plan, the RTKL study stated: The Urban Design Plan for Downtown Lubbock depicts the three-dimensional development guidelines for the revitalization of downtown area through to the year 2000. The primary focus is on four distinct elements; the Core area enhancing program; the Retail Mall along 13th Street; Broadway Streetscape; and the Overton Park system. Development opportunities are based on findings from the market overview, site analysis and traffic volume projections. The development opportunities also derive their locational character from two other planning concepts --location within walking distance of the major downtown stakeholders and activity centers; and proximity or exposure to major existing and projected traffic volumes. The Stakeholder/Activity Centers ,(are located within) comfortable walking distances... from major activity center and Intown stakeholders. It becomes evident that several opportunity areas could be located along Broadway within walking distance of the Civic Center, financial/office core, Avenue Q, and Texas Tech. The plan identified a list of potential projects in the area, including the transit center, which was identified as "Trolley Square". The plan stated, "A major public square or event space should be developed on Broadway at the east end of downtown to serve as the terminus and turnaround for the Broadway trolley. The space could also serve as a transit hub for buses coming to the downtown area, where riders could switch from bus to trolley."

There are tentative plans to relocate the dispatch and supervision functions to the facility, and the possibility of providing a concession area operated by a private concessionaire has been discussed. At the present service levels, and with the current pulse scheduling system, there are eleven routes that are downtown every thirty minutes during peak periods. The pulse system works well in a system of this size; there are no plans to change it. The benefits that Citibus could realize from such a facility are numerous: Citibus anticipates a ten to fifteen percent increase in passengers during the facility's first full year of operation. If the facility is opened during FY91, estimated passenger loads for FY92 are between 980,000 and 1,000,000 passengers. The convenience and service of the facility will result in a continuing steady increase of passengers. It is expected that potential passengers will be attracted to the system because of the increased convenience and enhanced security that the facility will afford. It will also be possible to integrate some DRS clients into the fixed route system at the transfer center. There would be increased passenger comfort, as there would be an indoor area to wait to transfer to another bus. An enclosed waiting area would provide additional security for waiting passengers, since the facility would be staffed throughout the times the routes are in service. Possible amenities that could be placed in the center include restrooms for passengers and bus operators; concessions, which could be operated under contract with a private concessionaire; pay phones; newspaper vending machines; Econocard sales and route schedule information; and a park or open area. There would be increased passenger safety, since passengers would not have to cross any streets in order to make their transfers. This is an important consideration during inclement weather, and during periods of heavy traffic conditions, and is especially important for passengers who are elderly or handicapped. A transfer center that provides areas for buses to pull off the street would be safer for automobile traffic, since it will help to resolve the current bus/car conflict. • Such a center would provide higher visibility for Citibus, thus promoting a positive image of the transit system. The facility could serve as a major improvement in an area of downtown that is in a period of decline. The site that was recommended in the RTKL study is in the general area of the site that was originally recommended in 1981. It is in an area that has declined, although it is adjacent to the Federal building, the Lubbock County Courthouse, -and the Lubbock County jail; the immediate area represents a sizeable investment of Federal funds. Figure 3 illustrates the site's location and adjacent land uses. None of the buildings on the site, or in the immediate area could be considered historic, and there are no parks in the area that would be impacted by development. . The site is not located in or near a wetlands area. The traffic volumes that are shown in Figure 4 are based upon current traffic levels and projections that were prepared by RTKL. The projected increases are due to changes in traffic patterns following completion of I- 27, which is approximately five blocks east of the proposed site. The facility itself will have little impact on traffic in the area, since the same number of buses are using the current transfer point. For the most part, the site itself is vacant land, and many of the lots are owned by Lubbock County: Estimated Demolition Lot Owner Current Land Use Est.

The total estimated project cost is as follows: Estimated Actual Value $690,000 Appraisals 35,000 Utilities Relocation (Burying 775,000 existing above -ground utilities, including electric lines and telephone trunk lines) Demolition, Business Relocation 176,600 Architectural/Engineering 105,000 Construction and Landscaping 775,000 Contingencies and Administration 235,250 TOTAL $2,791,850 An important consideration of the downtown redevelopment plan was to respect the needs of private sector developers. The RTKL study, stated: The community must recognize the importance of private investment and the needs of the development industry. A flexible system of ... development control, sensitive to environmental as well as economic concerns must be developed, -together with incentives that encourage adaptive reuse of buildings that are well located and structurally sound but lack a strong market for their original use. The city must develop creative public/private joint development opportunities and provide public improvements from the Tax Increment Financing funds in the form of public parking and other public amenities as incentives for -development. The city should accelerate the approval process, introduce more flexible zoning standards and persuade the banks (the largest stockholders in downtown) to provide low interest interim and permanent financing for new construction within the ... area. The proposed site is not currently within the established boundaries of the Tax Increment Financing district, but the development plan recommended an addition to the district that would include the site. Citibus staff proposes that the facility be constructed over a two-year period. The first year of the project would include land acquisition, business relocation, and demolition. The second year would include utilities relocation, and design, construction, and landscaping of the facility. The funding breakdown of the project, then, will be as follows: Year One Land $ 690,000 Appraisals 35,000 Demolition/Relocation 176,600 Preliminary Architectural/ 26,000 Engineering Contingencies 46,380 Administration 38,960 TOTAL $1,012,940 Year Two Utilities Relocation $ 775,000 Architectural/Engineering 79,000 Construction and Landscaping 775,000 Contingencies 81,450 Administration 68,460 TOTAL $1,778,910 Citibus will examine several methods of funding the operating expenses of the facility, including transfer fees and/or having services provided by the private City Corp, Inc., an organization which has been formed to promote downtown revitalization. Citibus and the City of Lubbock considered private financing and/or operation of the facility; it was determined that such an arrangement would not be in the best interests of the City. As part of a presentation to the Lubbock Public Transit Advisory Board on the proposed project, Citibus staff had preliminary architectural studies prepared. Although done.in a very conceptual manner, the studies were used to illustrate the possible uses of the site. The preliminary site plan included a building for dispatch/pass sales/route information and a series of detached, enclosed passenger waiting areas. The preliminary estimate of total enclosed square footage is approximately 6,500 square feet. The dispatch/supervision/concession area will be approximately 3,500 square feet and will include restrooms, and a waiting area. The passenger shelters will be approximately 1,5oo square feet each; they will be climate -controlled areas with seating. The preliminary site plan also includes sawtooth bus pullouts on two sides of the site, a parking area for the staff of the facility, landscaping, and an area for future expansion to inlcude the. proposed trolley system. Figure 5 illustrates the preliminary site plan. Bus Refurbisbment Citibus' fleet of 34 GMC RTS-II buses was placed into service in 1980 and 1982. The buses that were placed into service in 1980, which are used primarily for Texas Tech University service, have an average of 248,312 miles on them. The remainder of the -fleet has an average of 266,046 miles. Due to routine wear, there are several item that are in need of replacement. Citibus staff anticipates that in addition to being able to use the buses for an additional five years before replacing them, the fleet refurbishing will increase fuel economy, reduce bus -caused air pollution, and enhance the overall image of the fleet. The items that will be done as part of the refurbishment -project are: Body work, entire fleet Engine Rebuild, 26 coaches Transmission Rebuild, 15 coaches Radiator replacement, entire fleet Fuel System Replacement, entire fleet TOTAL Fareboxes Cost/Bus Total $ 8,837 $300,460 11,500 299,000 3,420 51,300 500 17,000 2,000 68,000 $735,760 Citibus plans to replace the current fareboxes with electronic, registering fareboxes. It is anticipated that this change will be helpful in meeting the goal of a ten percent increase in revenues during FY90. In addition, information that can be collected with electronic fareboxes will assist Citibus staff in preparing the annual Section 15 report, as well as assist in the gathering of other important planning data. The estimated total cost for this portion of the project is $179,000.

Good radio communication is very important in the DRS in order to keep operators updated as to. changes in their schedules. The radios are also used to contact operators in case of emergency, either accident or weather - related emergencies. Working with the local police department, Citibus operators are trained to observe suspicious behavior or possible crimes in progress; radios play an instrumental part in this program. The estimated total cost for this portion of the project is $250,000. Computer System and Related Equipment, ID Camera, and office. Copier The computer system will be used to computerize the Citibus' Department of Finance, and to implement a network that will tie together the computer system in Maintenance (to be purchased with Technical Study funds during FY90), the computerized dispatch system (also purchased with Technical Study funds during FY90), and the computers already in use by the Manager of Administration and the Administrative Secretary. The ID camera will be used to replace the existing camera, which is frequently out of order. The camera is used to make employee identification cards as well as identification cards for handicapped persons who ride the bus; handicapped persons are required to present a valid ID card in order to get the discounted fare. The office copier will replace the current copier, which has been in service since 1986. The estimated cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $86,000. Facility Improvements Due to the age of the facility, a variety of repairs are necessary.' Repair and Seal Shop Floor This will involve reconstructing floor drains in the shop and applying sealant to the floor. The drains and sealant will be important in reducing the amount of maintenance that is needed to keep the shop floor clean. The drains are also important from a safety standpoint, as they will permit proper floor drainage. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $30,000. Replace Driveway, Alley, and Parking Lot with Concrete This will involve replacing the asphalt -paved bus lot with concrete paving, and replacing existing concrete on the driveway and alley with new.concrete. The bus lot will include sand traps to prevent oil leakage from leaving the property. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $155,000. Roof Repairs This will involve replacing fiberglass roof panels and repainting a portion of the shop ceiling that is stained from the roof leaking. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $25,000. Parts Room Renovation The renovation of the Parts Room will include expansion, replacing a door, and installing a security system. The expansion will permit more efficient use of the room. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $25,000. Fuel Storage Monitoring System In accordance with EPA regulations, Citibus will install a.system to monitor the underground fuel storage tanks in order to detect leakage. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $15,000. Repainting The interior of the Citibus facility has not been painted since the facility was completed in 1981. The areas to be painted include reception area, dispatch, drivers' break room, - restrooms/locker rooms, and the administrative suite. It is estimated that this portion of the project will cost $5,000. Replace Bus Wash Facility The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $100,000, and will involve installing a complete bus wash system, expanding the existing building to accommodate the bus wash, and installing new plumbing, pumps, compressors, and tanks. The total cost of facility improvements is estimated at $355,000. Passenger Amenities This portion of the project will include developing bus shelters and pullouts on the Texas Tech University campus, replacing signs and benches on the fixed route, and installing additional bus shelters. Additional signs will be required following the route modifications which are scheduled for implementation during the second half of the year. The estimated cost is $450,000. Vans Citibus plans to replace two lift -equipped vans and add two additional lift -equipped vans to its DRS program. The vans that will be replaced will have approximately 150,000 miles on them by the time they are replaced. The estimated replacement cost will be $240,000. Pickup Citibus will replace its 1980 model one -ton pickup at an estimated cost of $20,000. Supervisorsf Cars Citibus will replace its two 1980 model supervisors cars, which are in very poor condition. The estimated cost is $24,000. Maintenance Shop Equipment Equipment that will be purchased includes steam cleaners, bus lifts, tire dolleys, and a hoist. The equipment will be required in order to complete the bus refurbishing portion of the capital grant. The cost of this portion of the project is estimated at $37,200. Funding Sources The funding for these projects will be provided by a variety of funding sources, including UMTA, Oil Overcharge Funds, State Public Transportation Fund, and the City of Lubbock. It is anticipated that projects which will be eligible for Oil Overcharge Funds will include the downtown transfer facility; bus refurbishment; facility improvements, replacing fareboxes; replacing the radio system; passenger amenities; and lift - equipped vans. Oil Overcharge Funds will account for 100 percent of the local share of these projects. The local funding for the remaining projects --computer system, ID camera, and copier; maintenance shop equipment; one ton pickup; and supervisors' cars --will be provided by the Public Transportation Fund (65 percent of the local match) and the City of Lubbock (35 percent of the local match). The anticipated funding breakdown for these projects follows: UMTA $2,886,864 Oil Overcharge Funds 644,540 Public Transportation Fund 50,164 City of Lubbock 27,012 TOTAL $3,608,580
