ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolutions. FUNDING: Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Grant No. FL-03-0191: $744,375 Local match: $186,094 in FOOT 'soft' match, utilizing toll revenue credits. Source of City-advanced funds: $708,731 from Undesignated General Fund Balance. ANALYSIS The City's Electrowave Shuttle Project received a $744,375 eannark as part of the FY 1998-99 Appropriations Bill, utilizing Federal Transit Administration, Section 5309 funds. These funds are for capital acquisitions (bus and bus-related equipment/facility) of the shuttle service. If not promptly appropriated and encumbered by the City, these funds will expire on September 30,2001. FT A funds are available via the reimbursement method. Therefore the City needs to appropriate the FTA funds and advance $708,731 in City funds, of which $698,311 are for the proposed capital purchases (24 sets of batteries at $313,200, one hybrid bus at $244,526, and miscellaneous equipment from various vendors at $140,585), plus $6,698 in contingency funds, and $3,722 in County administrative fee. As the only designated recipient ofFT A funds in the County, the Miami- Dade Transit (MDT) is charged with reimbursing the City for eligible expenses incurred under FT A Grant # FL-03-0191 to the Electrowave project. Reimbursements are received within three months of invoice submittal by the City. The Administration submitted and recently received pre-approval from FTAlMDT for certain, Electrowave-capital purchases. Listed below is the proposed budget for these purchases, and as they apply to each specific Resolution of this Agenda Item. These purchases are needed, and will become essential, if the City is to contract with an outside organization to perform mechanical maintenance on both the batteries and buses, without sharing equipment utilized by the City's Fleet Management Division to maintain all other City vehicles and equipment. RESOLUTION NO.1 - Overall Bud~et - FTA Section 5309 funds at $744,375 <> Total proposed new capital purchases <> FTA reimbursement for service bay retrofit (completed in 2000) <> Contingency funds <> Administrative fee retained by MDT at .05% of total $ 698,311 35,644 * 6,698. 3.722 $ 744,375 * City Resolution No. 99-23131 of 04/14/99, procured and received a pre-award authorization July 18,2001 Commission Memorandum Electrowave Capital PurchaseslFTA Grant Page 3 from FT A, in the amount of $50,000, to retrofit an existing Fleet Management service bay into an auxiliary charging facility. Only $35,644 of these funds were actually expended in the retrofit, which was completed in year 2000. Therefore, the City needs to advance only $708,731 in City funds, from Undesignated General Fund Balance, while appropriating $744,375 in FTA funds. RESOLUTION NO.2 - Purchase of 24 battery sets at $13,050/set, delivered, at $313,200 The new batteries will replace most of the existing batteries, which cells have either deteriorated or died, causing the repeated towing we have experienced in the last months. The Administration recommends that a fourth (4th) change order be made to an existing standing order with Advanced Vehicle Systems (A VS), Inc., for this purchase, as an emergency. A history of change orders with A VS is included as part of the Resolution. A VS' quote, attached hereto, has also estimated that a progressive delivery of batteries will occur within a three-month period, after receival of a standing order from the City. Included in the total cost is a $750 delivery fee per set. RESOLUTION NO.3 - Purchase of one (1) electric/hybrid bus, at $244,526 The City wishes to purchase one (1) electric/hybrid bus for testing purposes, and to serve as a rotation vehicle to the existing Electrowave Shuttle fleet. The new hybrid technology, utilizing only one set of electric batteries plus diesel fuel, has proven to be a much more efficient and effective mode for small circulator shuttle buses, with one system recharging the other as the vehicle operates throughout the day. In addition, the technology is as clean as that of a strictly electric vehicle. The Administration proposes to purchase this vehicle, utilizing an existing purchase order that the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) of Tampa, Florida, has with Advanced Vehicle Systems (A VS). HART's purchase authority has recently been extended to March 2002. Attached hereto is HART's pertinent documentation. In addition, the City will issue various purchase requisitions to several vendors, for the purchase of the following essential items, totaling $140,585, as itemized below: <) A Tire Servicerrow Truck in an amount not to exceed $54,250; and <) Other miscellaneous shop/office equipment from various vendors, being: Floor jacks $ 18,000 Multimeters 750 Current meters 250 Personal computes with stand 2,500 Accountinwinventorysofiware 200 Solderinwdesoldering equipment 750 Battery conditioning equipment 21,950 Load bank 17,935 One forklift 24_000 For a total of .................................... $ 86,335 July 18, 2001 Commission Memorandum Electrowave Capital PurchaseslFTA Grant Page 4 The purchase of batteries and of the above-mentioned items is essential, if the vehiclelbattery maintenance services are to be turned over to an outside contractor, as it will be proposed in the near future, and if the contractor is to perform in an efficient and effective manner. An outside contractor cannot share equipment that is being used by Fleet Management to maintain and service all other City vehicles and equipment. On the other hand, separate equipment for the Electrowave Shuttle vehicles has always been the ideal situation envisioned for the project. The availability of Ff A funds has made these purchases possible. Therefore, the Administration recommends approval of the three Resolutions.

It is further recommended that the Board authorize the County Manager to execute the grant agreement and expend funds pursuant to the application. A local match of $186,093 will be provided through the Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) using toll revenue credits as a soft match. No county funds will be used. . BACKGROUND In fiscal year 1999, the FrA budget included $744,375 in Section 5309 discretionary funds for capital purposes for the City of Miami Beach ELECTROW A VE Shuttle program. The funds are scheduled to expire as of September 30. 2001. While the City of Miami Beach has begun the process of requesting approval from Fr A to apply.directly for future allocations under the applicable federal guidelines, that approval process will be not completed prior to the expiration of the FY 99 funds. Therefore, with the concurrence of Fr A, Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) as the local urbanized area designated recipient for transit funds will process these discretionary monies as a "Pass Through" to the City of Miami Beach. Procedurally, this transfer will occur through an amendment to an existing Section 5309 MDT gran! from Fr A for bus and bus facility purchases. The funds for the City of Miami Beach will be used to purchase one electriclhybrid bus along with bus-related shop equipment. The local match of $186,093 will be provided by FOOT using state toll revenue credits as a soft match. i ~ U Florida Department of Transportation TPC AGENDA ITEK III.

Mesa: The Department requests that your office process an amendment to the Miami Urbanized Area's 2000/200 I Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to add a new phase to an existing project. This addition will add Federal Transit Administration (FTA)- Section 5309 funding appropriated in FY 1999 to the TIP for Miami- Dade County. The Electrowave project is an extremely successful local bus circulator serving the South Beach area of Miami Beach. The addition of these funds will permit the City to purchase needed capital equipment including one additional bus, several set of electric batteries, a forklift and a tow truck. Federal and State/Local funding is provided on a 80120% matching basis. This TIP Amendment adds $744,375 in FT A Section 5309 funds to the work program. State Toll Revenue Credits provide the remaining project share or $186,093.75. No local funding is required to match the Federal contribution. The attached sheet shows the proposed amendment in the usual TIP format. The Department appreciates your expe itious handling ofthi uest.

HART RFP #98-07-02 NOTICE OF AWARD The Florida Transit Association Finance Corporation Members and Other Governmental Entities May Purchase Hybrid-electric Transit Coaches, Date: June 14, 1999 6.

Department of Labor/Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price index (PPI) Category 1413, .Truck and Bus Bodies FORMULA: Index Point Change PPI Index: Future Award Month .

The published data for PPI-Category 1411-06 shows an index value of 141.1 in August 2000 (Future Award Month). The index for July 1999 (Base Award Month) was 137.6. The percentage change in the index values from July 1997 to August 2000 would be 2,54%. The buses ordered in August 2000 would be priced 2.54% higher than the base award price. This example assumes that the August 2000 order contained no significant equipment notifications when compared with the original order.
