HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 3d - Agreement for Transit Service Needs Assessment and Restructring Plan. GQsLIFORN —�9 A.6ust 5, 1903 V DATE: October 7, 2014 STAFF REPORT Development Services Department TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Jason Kruckeberg, Assistant City Manager /Development Services Director Philip A. Wray, Deputy Director of Development Services /City Engineer By. Linda Hui, Transportation Services Manager SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH IBI GROUP FOR A TRANSIT SERVICE NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND RESTRUCTURING PLAN IN THE AMOUNT OF $74,996, PLUS A 10% CONTINGENCY, AND APPROVE AN ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION OF $8,000 FROM PROPOSITION C LOCAL RETURN FUNDS Recommendation: Approve SUMMARY Arcadia Transit provides local transit service through a general public demand response, curb -to -curb system, with a City owned transit fleet of 18 twenty - passenger vehicles. Ongoing analysis of the system's efficiency, the current required subsidy for service, funding issues, and the anticipation of the Gold Line light rail opening, has prompted a need for an assessment of the current system, and the development of a plan for alternative service delivery options. The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to nine planning firms, and received two proposals. IBI Group was selected based on their qualifications and experience, proposed scope of services, and overall cost. It is recommended that the City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement with IBI Group in the amount of $74,996, plus a 10% contingency. The budget for this project was established in Fiscal Year 2014 -15 at $75,000, so an additional appropriation of $8,000 is requested from the Proposition C Local Return fund to cover the additional 10% contingency. BACKGROUND Arcadia Transit began its operations on April 21, 1975. The program was initiated with the intent of creating a demand - response system that would provide the amount and type of public transportation needed by individuals traveling within the City. The system was designed to provide specialized services for seniors, disabled, and for those Professional Services Agreement with IBI Group October 7, 2014 Page 2 individuals whose transportation needs were not met by the fixed route services provided by the Southern California Rapid Transit District (now the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro)) at that time. In the early stages, the Arcadia Transit service was delivered with a handful of sedans. Over the years, the ridership has grown steadily, and new funding sources have been obtained. Currently, Arcadia Transit provides a general public demand - response system with a fleet of 18 twenty - passenger vehicles, making an average of 115,000 annual trips. The cost for the service has increased throughout the years, but significantly so in recent years due to several factors, including rising fuel costs and increased demand. Since Fiscal Year 2009 -10, the total operating cost for the transit service has increased by 17 %, while the ridership has increased by 11%. This cost increase is expected to continue. As a member of the Included Municipal Operators within Metro's Formula Allocation Program (FAP), the City receives an annual allocation of state and local transportation funds to provide a general public transit service. However, the FAP funds only cover about 40% of the operating cost. Propositions A and Measure R Local Return funds are utilized to fully fund the service. The Proposition A fund is a '/2 cent county sales tax dedicated to funding transit services and infrastructure improvements in Los Angeles County. Each city in the county receives an annual allocation (Local Return) for a specific use to provide /improve public transit related programs and projects. For many years, the Proposition A Local Return fund was the only fund used to supplement the transit service cost. In the past few years, with the impact of the economic crisis, the dramatic hike in fuel costs, and increases in the general cost of doing business, the annual allocation of Proposition A Local Return fund has been outpaced by the required expenditures. Measure R, another' /2 cent county sales tax, was passed in 2008, which has helped fill the gap of the dwindling Proposition A Local Return funds. Currently, the Arcadia Transit system is funded using Metro's FAP (40 %), Proposition A Local Return (34 %), Measure R Local Return (22 %), and farebox revenue (4 %). The use of these funds is generally restricted to transportation /transit related programs /projects. Of all the fund sources, the Measure R Local Return fund allows the most versatile use, including roadway improvements. Thus, it is important to keep transit costs as efficient as possible so that the Measure R Local Return fund can be used for other allowable programs and projects. The recent Triennial Performance audit of Arcadia Transit, conducted by Metro, found that the consistently low farebox revenue demonstrates that the current service delivery model is neither optimally productive nor efficient. Currently, the City charges a general fare of $1.00 and a discounted fare for seniors and people with disabilities of $0.25. A discounted monthly pass of $5 is also available for seniors and people with disabilities. Given the low fares, the farebox revenue has been consistently low, leading to an Professional Services Agreement with IBI Group October 7, 2014 Page 3 average passenger subsidy of $14 per ride in the past five years. A fare increase or additional marketing of the demand - response service may be of benefit, but neither is likely to reverse the trend of declining farebox recovery, or to keep pace with the cost. As such, the audit found that the current service delivery model is not sustainable, and recommended that the City consider alternative models of service delivery. In addition, the timing is right to study the transit service because it is anticipated that the Gold Line light rail operation will have impacts on the travel patterns of both residents and visitors to the City. The Gold Line Arcadia Station will act as a transit hub for Metro and Foothill Transit bus lines. It is also anticipated that the Gold Line light rail will have impacts on the demand for Arcadia Transit service. Therefore, given the continual service cost increase and efficiency and connectivity issues, it is an opportune time to evaluate the current service system, assess potential needs, and explore alternate ways of delivering Arcadia Transit service. DISCUSSION On July 21, 2014, the Request for Proposals (RFP) package was sent directly to nine (9) consulting firms soliciting proposals for the Transit Service Needs Assessment and Restructuring plan. On August 20, 2014, the City received two proposals as follows: IBI Group $74,996 Moore & Associates $91,823 The proposals were evaluated based on the established criteria including the firm's professional qualifications, experience, understanding of the scope, proposed project approach, and proposed cost. Although both firms met the minimum requirements, it was determined after careful consideration that IBI Group was the better qualified of the two firms. IBI Group demonstrated a strong project approach and project management. In addition, IBI Group's cost proposal was the lower of the two proposals. The scope of the project includes an analysis of the current service, and an extensive public outreach component to gain an understanding of the travel patterns and needs now and in anticipation of the Gold Line operation. The project then covers development of alternative models of service delivery options and an implementation plan. FISCAL IMPACT The cost of the project, with the 10% contingency included, is $82,496. An amount of $75,000 in Proposition C Local Return funds has been allocated in the Fiscal Year 2014 -15 budget for the Transit Service Needs Assessment and Restructuring Plan project. An additional $8,000 would need to be appropriated from Proposition C Local Return funds to cover the total cost of the project. No general funds will be utilized. Professional Services Agreement with IBI Group October 7, 2014 Page 4 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize and direct the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with IBI Group for a Transit Service Needs Assessment and Restructuring Plan in the amount of $74,996, plus a 10% contingency, and approve an additional appropriation of $8,000 from Proposition C Local Return funds.
