CITIBUS PROPOSED CAPITAL PROJECTS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
FY 1997
Replacement Vans
In order to maintain our compliance with ADA, additional vehicles are necessary. Citibus
intends to purchase 3 replacement vans. These vehicles will be used to replace equipment
which has exceeded its FTA recommended life schedule.
Proposed Schedule:
Project Bid: October 1996
Award Project: November 1996
Delivery: July 1997
Replacement of Operations Support and Maintenance Vehicles
It is necessary to replace the current operations support vehicle that has exceeded its
current useful life. This vehicle, a sedan, will be replaced with a minivan for supervisors to
transport passengers missing their transfers. The maintenance vehicle has also exceeded
its current useful life. This vehicle will be used in servicing revenue vehicle roadcalls.
Proposed Schedule:
Project Bid: October 1996
Award Project: November 1996
Delivery: July 1997
Associated Capital Maintenance Equipment and Parts and Vehicle Overhaul Funds
This would include the replacement and overhaul of engines, transmissions, tires, and
other main components needed in the maintenance area. These items will be available for
capital funding since their cost is at least 1/2 of 1% of the current fair market value of the
rolling stock on which the items are to be used and also capital assistance in an amount up
to 20% of Citibus annual vehicle maintenance costs after removing any associated capital
maintenance items.
Proposed Schedule:
Project Bid: October 1996 - ongoing through September 1997
Renovations of Facilities

GRANT PROPOSAL EVALUATION FORM
1. State, as clearly as possible, the goals and objectives of the proposed project for
which a grant is being sought.
To provide Lubbock citizens with dependable and economical public transportation, while
maintaining the lowest feasible fares and minimizing the need for local taxpayer support.
To provide the planning funds to justify the need for capital and operating assistance.
Specific goals are as follows: to meet the needs of the disabled community as well as the
general population by obtaining grant funding for the replacement of three (3) demand
response vans with larger capacity low -floor vans, an operations van, a maintenance
vehicle, and various minor maintenance and administrative equipment; to minimize the
need for local taxpayer subsidy by capitalizing the purchase of vehicle spare parts, which
reduces the local funding required.
A. Is this the fulfillment of an identifiable community (Lubbock) need? If so,
please provide quantifiable data (studies, etc.) that illustrate the community
need and how this grant will meet that need:
Yes. The purchase of three (3) replacement demand response vans will provide
transportation service to persons with disabilities. This transportation is needed to
allow person with disabilities the ability to be active members of the community.
f �" The purchase of the supervisor van will allow the operations supervisors to better
assist the Citibus passengers, should there be a missed or interrupted trip. This
grant will also provide operating assistance to Citibus which will allow for the
continuation of transportation services to the citizens of Lubbock.
2. List at least three measures by which City Staff and City Council might be able to
evaluate the program in order to determine that it has reached the goals and
objectives described in Question 1.
Passengers per hour (fixed route and demand response service); numbers of passenger
trips per year on fixed route; number of passenger trips per year on demand response
service.
3. Will this program benefit the Lubbock community as a whole? If not, please
provide a detailed profile of the individuals or groups that will benefit from the
program.
Yes; the primary users of the Citibus transportation system are: low income individuals
without any other means of transportation, disabled individuals (both physical and mental),
the elderly who are unable to drive, and school and college students. The demand
response service is provided for those passengers that can not utilize the fixed route
service due to a disability.
4. Are other agencies (other than the City of Lubbock) available to administer this
program? If so, list the agencies:
There are no other agencies in the City of Lubbock currently available to administer this
program.
5. Are other agencies administering similar programs? If so, list the other agencies. If
not, why not?
There are no other agencies currently providing public mass transportation services to the
citizens of Lubbock. This is because the City of Lubbock has been designated the
recipient of the Federal funds and has designated Citibus as the provider of the services.
6. Is the program or activity provided by this grant required by state or federal law, or
required as a condition of other ongoing state or federal programs? Please explain:
The state and federal governments do not require that cities operate public transportation
services; this decision was made by the City of Lubbock. Since the service is provided,
there are state and federal regulations that must be met to continue to qualify for
assistance.
To come into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a
transportation plan was developed with public input. The plan was required to identify the
�,.., demand for the service and the time frame within which the demand. would be met. The
replacement of three (3) vans will greatly assist Citibus in meeting the demand and is a
part of the ADA plan.
7. Does the grant require a local match? If so, in what amount? Is the match in the
form of cash or an in-kind contribution?
YES -- a cash match is required.
(1) Capital projects - A match of 20% is required on all of the projects. The City
share will be $160,000 which is: $52,500 for the three (3) replacement vans;
$50,000 for capital maintenance items; $12,000 for the replacement of two (2)
support vehicles; and $45,500 for the miscellaneous maintenance and
administration capital items.
(2) Operating assistance - A match of 50% of the net expenditures is required. The
local funding is as follows: $705,000 from the City of Lubbock; $502,000 from
Texas Tech University; $62,183 from route guarantee; and $430,817 from the
State.
(3) Planning - A match of 20% is required for all planning and technical studies. The
City share will be $14,200.
8. Is the grant for capital or operating programs? Please describe specifically what the
funds will be used for (personnel, supplies, services, capital outlay, capital projects,
etc.).
The grant contains capital, operating and planning items.
Capital.-
Three
apital.Three (3) replacement demand response vans
Vehicle spare parts and capital maintenance items
Painting and carpeting for Citibus administrative building
Replacement of a Citibus supervisor van and maintenance vehicle
Miscellaneous maintenance and administrative equipment
Operating:
To maintain the current quality of service to the citizens of Lubbock through the
operation of the Citibus public mass transportation system.
Planning:
Technical study to allow Citibus to operate the maximum amount of service at the
lowest possible fare. The study will identify areas where service should be
modified to better serve the citizens. The study will continue the ongoing fare
analysis and review to minimize the requirements for local taxpayer support of
public mass transportation services.
A. If the grant is for capital outlay or capital project, will it result in ongoing
City operational costs? If so, explain in detail.
The replacement vehicles will require fuel and maintenance parts on a continual
basis, thereby creating operational costs. These costs should be no more that
Citibus previously expended.
B. If the grant is for operating program or programs, is it a one-time grant
which will result in ongoing City expenses, if the program is to be continued
in the future?
The operating program is applied for on an annual basis, thereby creating ongoing
City expenses.
C. Does the grant require continuation of the program, at City expense, after
the grant funding has expired? If so, how long will the City be obligated to
expend local funds, and in what areas? Be specific.
The grant does not require the continuation of the program at city expense after
the grant funding has expired. However, the City would be required to sell all
assets purchased with the assistance o f the Federal Transit Administration and
return their portion of the proceeds, if the service were to be discontinued.
9. Is the grant a one-time grant with an option to renew the grant, or an ongoing
grant? If the grant is ongoing, how many years has the grant been provided to the
City, and what year does the upcoming period represent (2nd year, 5th year, etc.)?
.If the grant has an option to renew, how often can it be renewed, and what are the
terms of renewal? Please explain.
The grant is a one-time grant, the capital and planning portions may extend over a three
(3) year period. The operating portion of the grant begins October 1, 1996 and continues
until all funds are utilized. This is different from in the past so as to take advantage of the
last Federal Operating Assistance funds.
10. Are indirect costs reimbursed by the grant?
Indirect costs associated with the operation are reimbursed at 50%. Indirect costs
associated with the planning aspects of the grant reimbursed at 80%.
11. Are grant audit costs reimbursed by the grant?
Yes, audit costs are reimbursed at 50%.
12. What is the immediate (twelve-month) impact of the grant program on City
employee allocation and utilization? How will this affect their work hours,
productivity, etc., on City programs and activities.
Citibus is managed by a private firm and has no City employees. Some City services will
be utilized by the activities in this grant; these are: City Manager, Division Director, Legal
Department, and Purchasing. It is not anticipated that the activities in this grant will
adversely affect these departments.
13. What is the long-term (rive year) financial and manpower impact of the grant
program both on the community and on the City organization?
The city of Lubbock will receive $2,396,800 in Fiscal Year 1997 from the Federal Transit
Administration to assist in the operation, capitalization, and planning activities associated
with the operation of public mass transportation services. It is unlikely that similar
funding will be received in future years. The City employees will not be adversely affected
by this grant, but approximately 100 Citibus employees would be affected by the
discontinuation of the program. The community would greatly suffer by the
discontinuation of this program. Citibus provides an excess of 3.4 million passenger trips
per year to the citizens of Lubbock. Many of these individuals would be required to
forego medical, work, and school trips if the Citibus service was reduced or eliminated.
14. Provide, in as much detail as possible, a 5 -year Revenue and Expenditure Projection
for the grant related program beginning with the current year or the first year this
grant will be in effect. Show any ongoing costs to the City, even if the grant is only
for one year. If the grant is renewable or ongoing, show the estimated revenues and
expenditures for future years that you intend to renew/continue the grant (up to five
years). Be sure to fully explain the source and types of revenues (in-kind
contribution, reimbursement of expenses, etc.) and fully explain the specific types of
expenditures (payroll for 1/2 time clerk, purchase desk, capital project construction,
etc.). Attach additional sheets if necessary.
