The following timeline shows the process: • July 30, 2007: The LMPO announced the Request for Proposal in local newspapers and on their website; Citibus, Sexton Enterprises, O'Hair Shutters, and Total Contract Solution requested and received packets https://ftateamweb.fta.dot.gov/teamweb/ApphcationsiViewPrintfViewPrintRes. asp?GUID... 3/24/2008 View Print Page 3 of 7 • August 10, 2007: Written questions were due • August 17, 2007: Written responses were posted, and the closed date was extended to August 28, 2007, at 3:00 pm CDT • August 28, 2007: The LMPO received a proposal packet from Citibus at 1:28 pm • September 25, 2007: Darrell Westmoreland, LMPO, Tera Davis, LMPO, and Lynn Castle, TxDOT opened and reviewed Citibus' proposal; there were no other proposals • October 16, 2007: The LMPO's Policy Committee voted to award the project funds to Citibus, and further noted that all subsequent project administration would be done by Citibus staff The Project Citibus is proposing that the FY2007 and FY2008 JARC funds be used to continue fixed route service on Route 19 and Route 34 (previously the JARC-funded Route 25). Because of the dire funding situation that Citibus is in, we propose using the FY2007 and FY2008 JARC funds in FY2008. As Route 25, this service began in 2001, as a crosstown route that was anchored at one end by Citibus' Downtown Transfer Plaza and at the other end by the Convergys call center, near 34th Street and West Loop 289. It was modified in 2007 and is now two routes, allowing service to an expanded area. Route 19 Route 19 serves the following educational facilities: • Bowie Elementary School • Dupre Elementary School • Wester Elementary School • Lubbock High School • Lubbock Christian University • Texas Tech University Significant areas of employment along Route 19 include: • Convergys • Covenant Health System (two locations) • Lubbock Christian University • South Plains Mall • Texas Tech University (Of these, Convergys, Covenant Health System, and Texas Tech University are listed by the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance as major local employers) Additionally, passengers on Route 19 have access to affordable housing, primarily near 32nd Street and Genoa and north of South Plains Mall, medical services at the two locations of Covenant Health System and the related facilities in the medical district, and the Social Security office. Route 34 Route 34 serves the following educational facilities: • Bean Elementary School • Stewart Elementary School • Williams Elementary School • O.L. Slaton Middle School • Hutchinson Middle School • Wilson Middle School • Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center • Coronado High School Significant areas of employment along Route 34 include: • The entire 34th Street corridor • South Plains Mall Additionally, passengers on Route 34 have access to the LIFE/Run Independent Living Center and the City/County Health Department. Service Summary https:llftateamweb. fta.dot.gov/teamweb/ApplicationsNiewPn'ntNiewPrintRes.asp?GUID... 3/24/2008 View Print Page 4 of 7 Citibus proposes to use JARC funding to provide fixed route service on these two routes Monday -Saturday, on headways ranging from 30 minutes to one hour; the specific headway time will be designed to coordinate with the remainder of the system. The History In the past, planning partners for this service included the Texas Department of Human Services, Women's Protective Services, LMPO, Women's Empowerment Program/Catholic Family Service, Inc. and the Texas Department of Transportation. All of these agencies have been involved with and supportive of Citibus' JARC program since our first program was funded; most of these agencies are currently involved in the local regional coordination efforts. Beginning in April 2005, Citibus has been the lead agency and has headed the regional transportation coordination efforts for the South Plains region. As part of the formal process of developing a regional plan, the regional group identified unmet needs across the region. One significant unmet need was identified as "Citibus operating assistance." and the associated remediation strategy was stated as, "Utilize JARC funds to maximum extent possible to offset loss of Federal operating assistance, while maintaining current route structure." The proposal, as outlined above, is vital in meeting the unmet need noted in the coordinated public transportation plan. Earmarks No information found. Secure No information found.
