(D) CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR MUSCOGEE
COUNTY, GA ? RFP NO. 13-0029
It is requested that Council authorize an amendment to the contract with
Connetics Transportation Group, Inc. (Roswell, GA) for the public transit needs
assessment. The contract amendment, which shall not exceed $140,659.17, is
required for professional transit planning services.
In July 2012, voters in the River Valley region, which includes Columbus,
approved the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST), a
one-cent sales tax over 10 years earmarked to fund a list of transportation
related projects specific to each region. One of the projects approved was for
approximately $22.4 million towards transit improvements in Columbus-Muscogee
County.
Per Resolution No. 278-13, Columbus Council authorized the execution of a
contract with Connetics Transportation Group for a transit needs assessment,
which was completed in early 2015. The needs assessment was intended to
determine how to best invest those sales tax dollars in quality transit
services that will provide the greatest benefit to the community.
Implementation of the recommendations from the study would result in a complete
transformation of METRA?s service structure, ultimately providing a more robust
transit network with service to more destinations over a longer service day.
The Transit Needs Assessment includes recommendations that were developed in
mid-2014. It was assumed that the recommendations would be implemented in two
phases, with the first phase (Short Range Service Plan) being implemented in
2016, followed by the second phase (Long Range Service Plan) three years later
(2019).
Since the completion of the Transit Needs Assessment, CCG staff has gone
through a process of examining actual TSPLOST revenues and re-examining
estimated costs. Recognizing a likely shortfall in funding compared to
expenses, staff recommends revisiting the service plans to blend the best ideas
from the short and long range service plans. Georgia DOT has also agreed to
extend the timeframe for using the TSPLOST revenues by five years (from 2022 to
2028).
As part of the steps required to move forward towards implementation, staff has
identified a need for additional assistance from Connetics Transportation Group
to assist METRA with refinements to and implementation of the service plan
recommendations. Connetics Transportation Group proposes structuring this work
in task orders. Task Order 1 is clearly defined with designated hours and
expenses to complete each assignment. Task Order 2, however, is more loosely
defined as on-going implementation planning support on an as-needed basis.
TASK ORDER 1
This initial task order has been defined with specific tasks to be undertaken
by Connetics Transportation Group supporting the implementation of transit
system improvements identified as part of the METRA Transit Needs Assessment.
Task 1 ? Service and Financial Plan Refinements
As noted above, CCG staff has identified a need to refine the service plan
recommendations developed during the Transit Needs Assessment process to
reflect current cost considerations and the anticipated level of funding
available through the TSPLOST. Connetics Transportation Group will work
closely with METRA and other CCG staff to develop a financially sound and
implementable refined service plan that will make the best possible use of
projected resources to provide the services and amenities promised to the
public.
It is anticipated that prior to beginning service plan refinement, CCG staff
will solicit, compile, and provide requests for service or amenities to
Connetics Transportation Group that were not included in the initial service
plan recommendations. Connetics Transportation Group will analyze these
service requests to determine which should be accommodated within the refined
service plan.
Task 2 ? Bus Stop Siting and Amenities
For new and modified fixed routes included in the final service plan
recommendations, bus stops will need to be added, removed and relocated.
Connetics Transportation Group will drive each route alignment to identify
where bus stops (new and existing) may be impacted. Traffic flow, visibility,
adjoining land uses, pedestrian access and ADA access will all be considered
during the siting process. When complete, a listing of new, relocated and
deleted stops will be presented to METRA staff for action. Additionally,
Connetics Transportation Group will work with METRA to identify bus shelter
locations along new or modified routes. Connetics Transportation Group will
identify stop and shelter locations using parameters and standards established
by METRA. If no standards exist, Connetics Transportation Group will use
industry best practices. Costs for stop and shelter installation and/or
removal will be calculated upon request, provided unit costs are furnished by
METRA. Please note, this task does not include installation or utility
location services.
The Transit Needs Assessment identified 13 locations along existing METRA
routes where poor access to bus stops (e.g., sidewalks and ADA compliant curb
cuts/ramps) restricts use of the fixed route system for METRA?s ADA paratransit
customers. For new and modified fixed routes, Connetics Transportation Group
will work with METRA to identify locations where additional bus stop access
improvements appear to be needed or where previously identified bus stop access
improvements are no longer required. A list of these locations will be
compiled and provided to CCG staff for costing and implementation.
Task 3 ? Scheduling and Run Cutting
Upon final approval of the refined service plan recommendations, scheduling and
run cutting activities will need to be completed. These activities will take
place and shortly prior to the implementation of each service change.
Activities include:
? Run Time Development ? For each of the new and modified routes, new run times
will be developed. Timepoints will be established based on passenger
connectivity needs and operational effectiveness. Using a combination of
estimated travel speeds and input from METRA operations staff to ensure
reasonableness, timepoint-to-timepoint run times will be calculated for use in
the Trip Building sub-task.
? Trip Building ? Using the data from the Run Time Development sub-task,
weekday and Saturday schedules for each route will be developed as prescribed
in the Short Range and Long Range Service Plans. Departure times will be
assigned to maximize system wide connectivity and optimize capacity at the
METRA Transit Center.
? Blocking ? Once Trip Building has been completed, trips will be organized
into the daily activity each vehicle block performs for weekday and Saturday
service. A nomenclature will be created that will be consistent and easy for
METRA operations staff to track. Interlining will be employed as prescribed by
the respective service plan.
? Run Cutting ? Upon completion of the Blocking sub-task, work shifts for
weekday and Saturday service will be created using parameters defined by
METRA. These parameters may include a combination of full time work (8 and/or
10 hour runs), straight and/or split shifts, or any other industry-standard
practices as outlined by METRA.
Task 4 ? Operations Summary
This task includes operational items that fall outside of the Scheduling and
Run Cutting task, including turn-by-turn directions for new and modified routes
to assist bus operators with navigating each route. Inbound and outbound
patterns will be accounted for as well as any pattern differentials or
trip-specific deviations. Additional materials such as transit center layout
and bay assignments will also be developed.
TASK ORDER 2
Connetics Transportation Group will be available to provide on-going
implementation planning support on an as-needed basis over a period not to
exceed three years. The intent is to provide a method to quickly respond to
professional transit planning services needs associated with the implementation
of improvements identified in the Transit Needs Assessment. Work will be
initiated by Connetics Transportation Group upon request by CCG Planning or
METRA staff. It is anticipated that specific tasks will be initiated after a
detailed scope, schedule, and budget has been defined and agreed upon by CCG
and Connetics Transportation Group. Possible areas of support may include, but
are not limited to the following:
? Columbus Council Meeting Support ? Columbus Council briefings and/or actions
may be required to move the transit recommendations forward to implementation.
Connetics Transportation Group will be available to attend and/or develop and
make PowerPoint presentations to the Columbus Council at up to two meetings.
? Steering Committee or Public Information Meeting Support ? Depending on the
final service plan recommendations, there may be a need to present the
recommendations at Transit Needs Assessment Steering Committee Meetings and/or
Public Information Meetings. Connetics Transportation Group will be available
to support CCG Planning and METRA staff by attending and/or developing and
making PowerPoint presentations to the Steering Committee or the public at up
to four meetings. METRA may also request Connetics Transportation Group
assistance to staff in responding to questions and concerns from citizens
before and/or after the meetings.
? Bus Route Schedule Development ? METRA currently produces both printed and
on-line schedules and maps for each fixed route in the transit system for use
by the public. At a minimum, development of printed and on-line schedules and
maps will be required for each new or modified route. Connetics Transportation
Group will be available to work with METRA to produce route schedules and/or
maps for METRA fixed routes. Timetables and maps developed as part of Task
Order 1 will be used to create production-ready public route schedules and/or
maps using desktop publishing software. The formatting of schedules and maps
will be upon with METRA staff prior to development. METRA staff will be
responsible for final proofing of the schedules and maps including the cover
and fare boilerplates. METRA will also be responsible for all printing and
distribution activities.
? Minor Interim Route Adjustments ? Between the time the refined service plan
is approved and the final days of implementation, there may be minor route
alignment changes that need to be included in the next service implementation
phase. These changes may be caused by the unexpected opening, closing or
relocation of a major business, employment center or public service facility.
Additional affordable housing that falls just outside of a proposed route?s
walk-shed may also influence a change from the original proposal. In the event
of these occurrences and if able to be accommodated into the route?s projected
cycle time, minor modifications will be incorporated into the appropriate
service plan and reflected in all related materials.
? Operations Staff Training ? Prior to implementation of service changes, METRA
operations staff will require training on the specific details of how each
route will be operated. Connetics Transportation Group will be available to
brief selected supervisors and training staff on each route?s new alignment and
schedule, major connection points, and route interlining developed in the
Scheduling and Run Cutting task in Task Order 1. The selected supervisors and
trainers will also be versed in anticipated questions/issues that may arise
from bus operators and customers.
? On-Site Support on Day of Implementation ? To ensure a smooth transition to
the new service, Connetics Transportation Group staff will be available to be
on-site for the first day of implementation of major service changes. The
on-site presence will be in place to provide last-minute assistance and
trouble-shooting for METRA operations staff, bus operators and customers.
Estimated Labor Costs and Expenses
The following table identifies estimated labor costs and expenses associated
with the Task Orders outlined in this proposal.
Task Order 1 is clearly defined with designated hours and expenses to complete
each assignment.
Task Order 2, however, is more loosely defined as on-going implementation
planning support on an as-needed basis. Assignments within this task order may
or may not fully exhaust the hours and expenses identified. The allocated
hours/expenses for this task are on an on-call basis and will only be utilized
as requested by CCG Planning or METRA staff.
Funding is available in the FY16 Budget: Transportation Fund ? UMTA Capital
Grant ? Metra-TSPLOST ? Consulting ? Bus Route Study;
0751-610-2500-MTSP-6315-68001-20140.

The City?s Procurement Ordinance Article 3-110, Competitive Sealed Proposals
for the procurement of Equipment, Supplies and Professional Services, governs
the RFP Process. During the RFP process, there is no formal opening due to the
possibility of negotiated components of the proposal. In the event City
Council does not approve the recommended offeror, no proposal responses or any
negotiated components are made public until after the award of the contract.
Therefore, the evaluation results and cost information has been submitted to
the City Manager in a separate memo for informational purposes.
Funds will be budgeted each fiscal year for this on-going expense: General Fund
? Community Reinvestment ? Real Estate ? Appraisals, 0101-245-2400-REAL-6373;
and Other various projects will be funded through the Capital Improvement
Project Financing.

(F) SWITCHED ETHERNET SERVICE
It is requested that Council approve an agreement with AT&T for switched
Ethernet service. This agreement with AT&T for switched Ethernet service
covers the Garfield Dr & River Rd radio towers at an approximate monthly amount
of $857.50, for sixty (60) months and it also covers the Fire Stations and
other locations such as Pine Grove Landfill, the Sheriff's Training Facility,
Muscogee County Prison, and the Recycling Center at a monthly amount of
approximately $5,276.25 for sixty (60) months.
AT&T switched Ethernet is the service connection between many of the city
buildings and the data center. This used to be called Metro Ethernet or Metro
E. The locations in the agreement are already connected by AT&T through one of
their services and this new agreement moves the locations to the latest
offering by AT&T. The new services also are cheaper than the previously offered
services. The AT&T services provide connectivity for VoIP and other services by
connecting these locations to the wide area network (WAN).
Funds will be budgeted in the appropriate fiscal years to cover the payment as
follows: Emergency Telephone Fund ? Police ? E-911 ? Other Purchased Services;

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT WITH CONNETICS
TRANSPORTATION GROUP, INC. (ROSWELL, GA) FOR THE PUBLIC TRANSIT NEEDS
ASSESSMENT. THE CONTRACT AMENDMENT, WHICH SHALL NOT EXCEED $140,659.17, IS
REQUIRED FOR PROFESSIONAL TRANSIT PLANNING SERVICES.
WHEREAS, in July 2012, voters in the River Valley region, which includes
Columbus, approved the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax
(TSPLOST), a one-cent sales tax over 10 years earmarked to fund a list of
transportation related projects specific to each region. One of the projects
approved was for approximately $22.4 million towards transit improvements in
Columbus-Muscogee County; and,
WHEREAS, per Resolution No. 278-13, Columbus Council authorized the execution
of a contract with Connetics Transportation Group for a transit needs
assessment, which was completed in early 2015. The needs assessment was
intended to determine how to best invest those sales tax dollars in quality
transit services that will provide the greatest benefit to the community.
Implementation of the recommendations from the study would result in a complete
transformation of METRA?s service structure, ultimately providing a more robust
transit network with service to more destinations over a longer service day;
and,
WHEREAS, the Transit Needs Assessment includes recommendations that were
developed in mid-2014. It was assumed that the recommendations would be
implemented in two phases, with the first phase (Short Range Service Plan)
being implemented in 2016, followed by the second phase (Long Range Service
Plan) three years later (2019); and,
WHEREAS, since the completion of the Transit Needs Assessment, CCG staff has
gone through a process of examining actual TSPLOST revenues and re-examining
estimated costs. Recognizing a likely shortfall in funding compared to
expenses, staff recommends revisiting the service plans to blend the best ideas
from the short and long range service plans. Georgia DOT has also agreed to
extend the timeframe for using the TSPLOST revenues by five years (from 2022 to
2028); and,
WHEREAS, as part of the steps required to move forward towards implementation,
staff has identified a need for additional assistance from Connetics
Transportation Group to assist METRA with refinements to and implementation of
the service plan recommendations. Connetics Transportation Group proposes
structuring this work in task orders. Task Order 1 is clearly defined with
designated hours and expenses to complete each assignment. Task Order 2,
however, is more loosely defined as on-going implementation planning support on
an as-needed basis.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, HEREBY RESOLVES AS
FOLLOWS:
That the City Manager is hereby authorized to amend the contract with
Connetics Transportation Group (Roswell, GA) for the public transit needs
assessment. The contract amendment, which shall not exceed $140,659.17, is
required for professional transit planning services. Funding is available in
the FY16 Budget: Transportation Fund ? UMTA Capital Grant ? Metra-TSPLOST ?
Consulting ? Bus Route Study; 0751-610-2500-MTSP-6315-68001-20140.
