Agenda 05/14/2024 Item #16B 4 (Resolution - Public Transit Grant agreements with the FDT)05/14/2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the attached Budget Amendment and adopt a Resolution approving and
authorizing the Chairman to execute the Public Transit Grant Agreements (PTGA) Section 5310 (FPN
448810-1-94-23), with the Florida Department of Transportation to accept Federal Transit Administration
grant funding in the total amount of $721,687 for the purchase of four paratransit cutaway vehicles, four
radios, and four tablets.
OBJECTIVE: To leverage federal and state grant funds to purchase four replacement paratransit cutaway vehicles,
four radios, and four tablets.
CONSIDERATIONS: On December 13, 2022 (Item 16.A.25), the Board of County Commissioners (Board)
approved the submittal of a FY23 FTA Section 5310 grant application for the purchase of four replacement
paratransit cutaway vehicles along with a radio and tablet for each vehicle.
The paratransit system maintains a capital replacement schedule for vehicles recommended and scheduled for
replacement by Fleet Management. The vehicles being considered for replacement have met FTA’s vehicle end of
useful life criteria and are identified in the Vehicle Replacement Plan in the 2020 Transportation Disadvantaged
Service Plan Major Update and the Transit Asset Management Plan. These paratransit vehicles will be purchased in
FY24 through the FDOT Transit Research Inspection Procurement Services Program (TRIPS), a State of Florida
contract which assists transit agencies with technical assistance and guidelines for vehicle procurement at the
lowest possible prices using a combination of FY23 FTA Section 5310 grant funds and local matching funds.
TRIPS procurement program is managed by the FDOT and administered by the Center for Urban Transportation
Research (CUTR).
FDOT has recently submitted the attached PTGA providing for a grant award of $721,687, which is comprised of
80% Federal, 10% State, and 10% local match. The FTA Section 5310 Grant requires a ten percent (10%) local
match. The attached resolution authorizes the Chairman to execute the corresponding PTGA, as well as any
required certifications and assurances related therewith.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to design and maintain an effective
transportation system to reduce traffic congestion and improve the mobility of our residents and visitors.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total FTA 5310 award passed through FDOT totals $721,687 as shown below:
Description Award Total Federal Award

(4) Standard Cutaways / (4)
Radios / (4) Mobile
Radios/Tablets
$721,687 $577,348 $72,169 $72,170
Budget Amendments are required to appropriate grant funding within the Transportation Disadvantaged Grant Fund
(4034) in the amount of $649,517, and Transportation Disadvantaged Match Fund (4035) in the amount of $72,170
within Project No. 33899. Matching funds are available from vehicle auction proceeds ($72,170).
The purchase of the replacement vehicles will not be an increase to the overall paratransit fleet inventory. The
maintenance cost for the vehicle has been allocated within the annual budget. By adequately maintaining a
replacement plan, the overall maintenance costs are reduced by replacing the aging vehicles.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item is consistent with Objective 12 of the Transportation Element
of the Growth Management Plan.
