ANALYSIS
This item is contingent on approval of the proposed FY 2000-01 Electrowave Operating Budget,
submitted as a previous item of this same City Commission Agenda.
Beginning in FY 1997-98, the project administration funds included in the Electrowave Operating
Budget have been transferred to the Miami Beach Transportation Management Association
(MBTMA) which, on the City's behalf, assumed first-line responsibility over the Electrowave project
development and implementation, and the transit service's efficiency and effectiveness. MBTMA
performs most of the project's administrative services, oversees all contracts and services, marketing
and advertising, plans and implements route enhancements, performs route management and
scheduling, oversees vehicle maintenance, personnel training, and handles all passenger complaints
and other challenges, Additionally, MBTMA establishes and maintains most local, regional, and
national contacts which are essential to the Project's continued success; searches for new funding
sources, and applies for additional funding to help meet the capital and operating needs of the
project.
FY 2000-01 is proposed to be the fourth year of contracted services with MBTMA for the
Electrowave Shuttle Project.

Agreement with MBTMA regarding Electrowave
Page 2
The City maintains two annual agreements with MBTMA, as follows:
1. The MBTMA Agreement at $50,000 a year (funded by Miami Beach Parking Enterprise
Retained Earnings), which, in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT), provide "seed" funding for MBTMA to operate as a public-private organization.
This $50,000 Agreement was approved by Resolution No. 2000-24078, dated September 13,
2000; and
2. The ElectrowavelMBTMA Agreement at $99,250 (funded by the shuttle operating budget),
for the performance of contract management and overall administrative services for the
shuttle program, this Agenda item.
The overall services to be delivered by MBTMA, under the attached Professional Services
Agreement, are listed as Exhibit A, Scope of Services. Beginning FY 2000-01, the Electrowave
Service will operate a new route on Collins Avenue, using vehicles purchased with Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) Section 3 funds. This new route will increase MBTMA's workload.
MBTMA will be required to file Section 15 Reports for the capital expenditures and related
operations of the additional buses. The Federal reporting system is quite extensive, demanding and
time consuming.
Exhibit B is the MBTMA Contract Management Budget, a summary of which is provided below:
Salaries/Benefits of 3 full-time employees $75,360"$ll
Travel 5,000
Office/Operating 3,000
Postage 1,500
Telephone 1,400
Printing/distribution of information material 12.990
Agreement Price/Budget ................... $99,250
~ This figure represents 50.2% of the salary/benefits to be paid to three MBTMA employees
during FY 2001. The 49,8% balance is paid by the MBTMA Operating Budget which
includes $50,000 from the City, $100,000 from FDOT, and $12,000 from membership dues.
The $99,250 Agreement price would be transferred to MBTMA via quarterly payments of
$24,812.50 each, with the first installment due October I, 2000.
The main duties ofMBTMA and City regarding the Electrowave Project are set forth in Exhibit C
to the Agreement, and entitled Division of Duties; and the Project Accomplishments in Exhibit D.
The Electrowave Shuttle Service has carried over 3 million passengers since January 1998, and has
collected over $200,000 in fares since July 1, 1999. The Administration attests that MBTMA has
ably managed the Electrowave Project and recommends approval of this fourth-year Agreement.
