EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the suhmittal of a grant application in the Federal Transit
Administration (FT A) Financial and Grant Management System (TEAM Web) and
authorize a budget amendment in the amount of $220,000 to recognize the 2008/2009
Congestion Management System/Intelligent Transportation Stakeholders (CMS/lTS) grant funds
awarded to Collier Area Transit (CAT) for the purchase of a vehicle to be used to provide service
on a east-west corridor on the Fixed Route system.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board approval to submit a grant application in the Federal Transit
Administration (FT A) TEAM system and authorize a budget amendment to recognize
Congestion Management System (CMS) grant funds in the amount of $220,000 which was
awarded to Collier Area Transit to purchase a bus for the transit system.
CONSIDERATIONS: On May 9, 2008, $220,000 remained in the 2008/09 CMS Box FW1ds
from the priority allocations for the fiscal year. The $220,000 was initially allocated for the Lee
County service connection and was amended to purchase an accessible bus for a future east-west
expansion for the Golden Gate Parkway con'idor. The amendment was approved by the MPO
Board on November 14, 2008.
The $220,000 will be utilized to purchase a 35' Gillig fixed-route bus. The total cost for the bus
is approximately $375,000. The remaining balance of $155,000 will be paid from Fiscal Year
2011, Federal Transit Administration (FT A) 5307 fonnula grant money.
In order to be utilized for Transit, the CMS funds granted for this purchase must go through an
administrative process with the State to llex the funds from Federal Highway Administration
(FHW A) Project into Federal Transit Administration (FT A) funds under the 5307 program. The
County was recently notified by the State that the funds have been transferred (llexed). In order
to complete the process, the County must submit an application through the FT A Financial and
Grant Management System (TEAM Web) for the review and approval by FT A.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no tiscal impact for this item. The cost to purchase a bus is
approximately $375,000. A budget amendment is required in FY 2011 to recognize grant
revenue in the amount 01'$220,000 to the Collier Area Transit Grant Fund (424), Project 33168.
The remaining balance of$155.000 will be paid tram FTA Section 5307 FY 2011 funding.
The llexed funds require a 20% match. Collier County has received approval from the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) for the use of toll revenue credits in the amount of
$55,000 as soft match for $220,000 in FY I I Capital Grant Funds eliminating the capital fiscal
impact to the County for this purchase.
This bus will serve the new routes implcmented 011 Pine Ridge and Golden Gate Parkway in
January 2011. The State allows the purchase ofa bus after a route has been implemented due to
the length of time required to order and receive a bus. There will be no additional fiscal impact

as existing funding was used to modify routes to include Pine Ridge Road and Golden Gate
Parkway.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been revicwed and approved by the County
Attomey's Office, is Icgally sufficient for Board action and only rcquircs a majority vote for
approval-SRT.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Gro\\th Managcment Impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the attached application and authorize the
County Manager, or his designee, to submit the application into the FT A TEAM systcm and

E. FDOT Update
Mr. Stan Cann, FDOT, reported on the following:
. The 2008 legislative session concluded on May 2nd and one of the biggest issues was the
budget;
. FDOT's Work Program was affected in some of the recovering of the revenue shortfall in
the general revenue category;
. The overall impact to the Statewide Five-Year Work Program was $1.4 billion; FDOT is
currently in the process of deciding how the funding shortfalls are to be addressed;
. At a later meeting, FDOT will provide a report on the impacts on District One's projects;
thus far, the Department has been successfui with the preservation of projects;
. In November 2007, adjustments were made to the Tentative Work Program, and more
adjustments will be made due to the general revenue shortfall;
. FDOT will be working with MPOs across District One to identify how to address the $1.4
billion shortfall in funding regarding projects;
. The former federal earmark of $10 million for the potential interchange at Coconut Road
in Lee County was recently changed by Congress to be allocated to 1-75 improvements
within Lee and Collier Counties. The next step in the process is to have the federal
earmark signed by the President of the United States, and if successful, FOOT
recommends that the federal earmark be on the next Joint Lee/Collier MPO
agenda in October to discuss how the counties would best utilize the funding;
. On April 24th, FDOT held an Industry Forum in Orlando regarding the pOSSible
privatization of Alligator Alley;
o The Forum was well attended and the department briefed attendees on the
revenue generated by Alligator Alley, the process for receiving proposals, and the
timelines;
o On May 6th, FDOT advertised for qualifications and there is a 30 day time period
for the industry to form teams if desired and submit qualifications due on June 3,d;
o FDOT will review the submittals to determine if the proposers are qualified to
submit proposals;
o A shortlist will be compiled and proposals will be requested;
o FDOT will send out a Request for Proposals in August to receive the proposals to
reveal what the private sector believes is the value of Alligator Alley;
o FDOT would like to see what the potential is for the leasing of Alligator Alley for a
period of between 50 and 75 years to bring in revenue to the department for
projects;
o Several meetings are scheduled for the community, and the first public meeting
will be on May 27'h in Collier County, and a similar meeting will be held in
Broward County;
o FDOT will provide an update at the next MPO Board meeting regarding the
elements of the Scope of Services, the contract, and other various factors; and
o Once the proposals are received, they will be presented to the Board and the
general public.
Discussion ensued regarding the privatization of Alligator Alley. Commissioner Henning asked
Secretary Cann if there was anything in the law that states if a toll facility was leased that those
monies will go to enhance state roads. Secretary Cann responded by stating that the way the

Page 13
statue is written is that revenue generated by a toll facility and if there is a surplus, anything that
is above what is owed for debt service or for maintenance, etc. can go to improving state roads
within the county where the facility is located (Alligator Alley would be Broward and Collier
Counties). Commissioner Henning stated that there was a provision in the statues (Florida Statue
Chapter 338 (Florida Intrastate Highway System and Toll Facilities), paragraph one 338.165
(Continuation of Tolls) that the Counties (Broward and Collier) can take over Alligator Alley if
there is no debt on the facility. Secretary Cann responded by stating that he would have to
research the statue. Chairwoman Fiala requested that Commissioner Henning forward
the Florida Statue to the Board members.
10. ManaGer's Reoort (Mav ReGuire Board Action)
