transit agency must develop a Transit Development Plan (TDP) Major Update every five years
and an annual progress report for all other years. The deadline to submit all TDP updates to the
Florida Department of Transportation for approval is September I". The requirements that must
be met in the TDP Annual Progress Report are outlined in Rule 14- 73.001, Florida
Administrative Code. The 2011 Collier County TDP Annual Progress Report outlines the
progress that Collier Area Transit has made in 2010 towards achieving the goals and objectives
identified in the last TDP Major Update which was approved September 28. 2010.
The Collier County TDP Annual Progress Report is a ten year planning document that
recommends implementation strategies to achieve the goals and objectives. This document also
evaluates where there were discrepancies in the implementations that differ with the TDP Major
Update. The funding shown in the Financial Section of the TDP Annual Progress Report for FY
2012 -2021 is for planning purposes only and should not be considered a proposed budget.
The TDP Annual Progress Report went through the Collier Metropolitan Planning
Organization's (MPO) public participation process which includes a review and comments from
all the MPO Committees. The TDP has undergone a fifteen day public comment period as
required by the MPO's current Public Involvement Participation Plan.
This document was endorsed by the Pathways Advisory Committee on May 27`11. the Technical
Advisor, Committee and Citizen Advisor, Committee on Mav 24`x', and accepted by the Collier
Metropolitan Planning Organization's Policy Board on June I0. 2011
FISCAL IMPACT: The TDP Progress Report includes an estimated budget for ten years. At
the time the TDP was written the following funding estimates were developed and are contained
in the plan for FYI 2. The budget includes Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 5303, 5307,
5309, 5310 and 5311 grant funds in the amount of $3.169.228. Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) funding is included for the Transportation Regional Incentive Program
(TRIP) in the amount of $1.400.000 and State Block grant in the amount of $725.788. County
funding includes Gas Tax funding in the amount of $3400.000 and a General Fund contribution
of $537.700. In addition, farebox revenue estimated at $1.053.800 has been included. The total
estimated funding is $10,284,516.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the award of RFP 11 -5650, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
for Collier Area Transit (CAT) Program to Avail Technologies, Inc. for an estimated $1,109,947, in
FY 2011 and 5449,366 in FY 2012 and authorize the Chairman to execute the attached contract.
OBJECTIVE: To award a contract to provide the functional, performance, installation,
integration and project management services for the implementation of a fixed -route and
paratransit Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to Avail. Technologies, Inc. The
implementation of 1TS is being completed in order to improve and maximize our public
transportation system efficiencies. This project is funded by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) with 100% federal capital grant dollars.
CONSIDERATION: Requests for proposals # 11 -5650 "Intelligent Transportation Systems
(ITS) for Collier Area Transit (CAT) Program" were solicited on January 28, 2011.
Notifications were sent to 748 firms and 96 packages were downloaded. Three proposals were
received by the closing date of March 8, 2011. The proposals submitted by the firms noted below

I. Pricing Changes
Avail has made the following chances to our proposed solution based on our discussions and
specific requests made by Collier:

key capabilities or functionality, including many of the Phase 2 Real -Time Passenger
Information options, all with 2 years premium Warranty, Support & Hosting from Avail that
keeps things as easy as possible for the County's IT and Maintenance Departments;
✓ Phase 2, and support includes overage out to 5 years with no gap in coverage, and simply
builds upon and expands the Real -Time Passenger Information capabilities of the system
in the most cost effective manner possible:
✓ This approach will greatly enhance the public visibility and positive impact of this project to
the community you serve right out of the gate in Implementation Phase 1;
✓ Structuring the project this way eliminates all of the costly and time consuming rework and
system down -time associated with removing key functions in Phase 1 (like AVA and APCs
for example) and then trying to add them back in Extended warranty Phase 2 ;

contracts and subcontracts "financed at least in pan by loans or grants from ... the [Federal] Government." 40 USC
3701(b)(1)(B)(iii) and (b)(2), 29 CPR 5.2(h), 49 CFR 18.36(1)(6). Although the original Act required its application in any
construction contract over 52,000 or non - construction contract to which the Act applied over S2,500 (and language to
that effect is still found in 49 CFR 18.36(i)(6)), dw Act no longer npplie, to mer "contract in nu unvrtrni their A not

procurements because transit procurements (to include rail cars and buses) are deemed "commercial items." 40 USC 3707,
41 USC 403 (12). A grantee that contemplates entering into a contract to procure a developmental or unique item should
consult counsel to determine if the Act applies to that procurement and that additional language required by 29 CFR 5.5(c)
must be added to the basic clause below. The clause language is drawn directly from 29 CFR 5.5(b) and any deviation
from the model clause below should be coordinated with counsel to ensure the Act's requirements are satisfied.

Flow Down Requirements: Anyone who performs a safety- sensitive function for the recipient or subrecipient is required
to comply with 49 CFR 655, with certain exceptions for contracts involving maintenance services. Maintenance
Contractors for non - urbanized area formula program grantees are not subject to the rules. Also, the rules no not apph to
maintenance subContractors.
Introduction
FTA's drug and alcohol rules, 49 CFR 655, respectively, are unique among the regulations issued by PTA. First.. they
require recipients to ensure that any entin performing a safety- sensitive function on the recipient's behalf (usua)ly
subrecipients andior Contractors) implement a complex drug and alcohol testing program that complies with Part 655.
Second, the rules condition the receipt of certain kinds of PTA funding on the recipient's compliance with the rules: thus,
the recipient is not in compliance with the rules unless every entity that performs a safety- sensitive function on the
recipient's behalf is in compliance with the rules. Third, the rules do not specify how a recipient ensures that its
subrecipients and.!or Contractors comply with them.
Explanation of Model Contract Clauses
Collier County relies on the Contractor to implement a drug and alcohol testing program that complies with 49 CFR 655,
but retains the ability to monitor the Contractor's testina program; thus, the recipient has less control over its compliance
with the drug and alcohol testina rules than it does under option I. !he advantage of this approach is that it places the
responsibility for compiving with the rules on the entity that is actually performing the safety- sensitive function. Moreover.
it reserves to the recipient the power to ensure that the Contractor complies with the program. The disadvantage of Option
2 is that without adequate monitoring of the Contractor's program, the recipient may find itself out of compliance with the
rules.
