EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the purchase of four (4) paratransit vehicles utilizing
the FY08-09 Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 Grant award.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board of County Commissioners' approval for the purchase of
four (4) paratransit vehicles utilizing the FY08-09 Federal Transit Administration Section
5310 Grant award.
CONSIDERATION: Collier County has been awarded a Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) FY2008-2009 5310 grant to purchase four (4) replacement paratransit vehicles.
The FTA 5310 Grant requires a 10% local match. On December 11, 2007, the BCC
approved to accept the FT A FY2008-2009 5310 grant to purchase four vehicles, if
awarded. On June 23, 2008 Collier County received a notice from the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) of a grant award determination for the purchase of
four (4) paratransit vehicles. The County is required to write a purchase order equaling
10% of the total cost of the vehicles, The remaining 90% (80% Federal and 10% State)
of the total costs for the vehicle are covered by purchase orders written by FDOT using
the awarded FT A FY2008-2009 5310 grant money.
-
The Paratransit system maintains a capital replacement schedule for vehicles. The
purchase of these vehicles will replace high mileage vehicles that have 200,000 to
250,000 miles and have been recommended and scheduled for replacement by Fleet
Management. All four (4) vehicles were purchased in 2003, meet FTA vehicle end of
useful life criteria, and are identified in the Vehicle Replacement Plan in the 2008
Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan. The four (4) paratransit vehicles will be
purchased through the FDOT Vehicle Procurement Program using a combination of
FY08-09 FTA 5310 grant money and 10% local matching money.
Each year the Florida Vehicle Procurement Program has assisted transit agencies in
purchasing transit vehicles in the most economic way possible. This procurement
program is managed by the FDOT and administered by the Center for Urban
Transportation Research (CUTR).
On March 29, 2008 Fleet held a Board of County Commissioners vehicle auction at
which time (6) six paratransit vehicles were sold for $12,023,92 net proceeds, The
$12,023.92 was deposited into Fund 427, In accordance with grant agreements made
with Florida Department of Transportation to originally purchase these six sold vehicles,
Collier County is obligated to reinvest any monies received in the disposal of these
vehicles back into the grant program. By applying the $12,023.92 towards the 10% local
matching money, the County fuliills this obligation and reduces our local match costs.
,-.
FISCAL IMP ACT: The County match in the amount of $31,080 will be expended
from Fund 427, Project 31427,\,

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authorizing the Chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners to execute the attached Federal Transit Administration
Section 5310 grant application and applicable document, and to accept the grant if
awarded
OBJECTIVE: To obtain authorization for the Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners to execute the attached Federal Transit Administration (FT A) grant
application and applicable documents and to accept the grant if awarded.
CONSIDERATION: FTA funds, which are to be used for the purchase of para-transit
vehicles to provide transportation services to the elderly and disabled residents of Collier
County, are made available each year through an application process administered by the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). As a governmental entity, the BCC is
eligible to file the grant application. This grant application seeks to maximize grant
funding for the purchase of the four Para Transit vehicles scheduled for purchase in
FY08.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost is estimated to be $310,800 for four (4) vehicles. If the
grant request is approved, the source of funds will be $248,640 Federal, matched by
$31,080 State and $31,080 local. The local share is budgeted in Fund 427 Transportation
Disadvantaged operating budget in FY08.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Consistent with the Transportation Element of
the Growth Management Plan as stated in Objectives 10 and 12,
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve a Resolution authorizing the
Chairman of the BCC to execute all documents necessary to apply for the Federal Transit
Administration Section 5310 Grant, including executing the Certification and Assurance
to FDOT document, a copy of which documents are attached hereto. It should be
recognized that the grant award referenced above in the amount of $310,800 is a
preliminary number and is subject to change. In approving this item, the BCC is
providing authorization to approve all necessary budget amendments to receive and use
these grant dollars including those incremental grant dollars received above or below the
target grant award. By providing this latitude, the BCC is authorizing the County
Manager to recognize by budget amendment actual grant revenue received currently and
as may be adjusted in the future and align expenses accordingly. Any decision to
terminate or otherwise not accept the Grant shall require this Board's prior approval as an
agenda item; however, the number of vehicles purchased shall be in proportion and
accordance to the grant award.

COLLIER COUNTY / COLLIER AREA TRANSIT
2008 5310 GRANT APPLICATION
EXHIBIT A: Current System Description:
Currently, Collier Area Transit provides transportation services to the general public. Services
provided include fixed route bus service and paratransit service. The public transit services are
managed by a contracted management company; McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. Paratransit
service is available seven days per week, 24 hours per day, All service is provided by contracted
operators.
Paratransit service is door to door. Drivers will assist anyone who appears to need assistance,
especially the frail and elderly and those who are mentally or physically disabled, from their door
to their seat on the vehicle. Drivers will not go into a home and cannot go to rooms of nursing
homes or hospitals due to time constraints and liability issues. Office hours are from 7:00 a,m, to
5:30 p.m, Monday through Friday. After hours calls are forwarded to one of the contracted
carriers who have actual operations twenty-four hours per day.
All available funds will be used to carry out the mission of the Collier County's Transportation
Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board, which is to carry out a coordinated and
comprehensive approach to planning, developing and providing transportation services that meet
the needs of transportation disadvantaged persons.
It is estimated that over 100,000 one-way trips will be provided during the current fiscal year.
Fares for the general public will be the same as other passenger fares. Fares for the paratransit
program are implemented as regulated by each funding source. ADA fares are set up at $2,00
per one-way trip, lower than allowed by regulations and based on Collier Area Transit's fixed
route bus fares. As mentioned above, service is managed by a contracted management company,
McDonald Transit Associates, lnc, service is provided by carriers under contract to McDonald
Transit using vehicles owned by thc County and hy the carriers.
Collier Area Transit's fixed route operates nine routes, using 16 buses in peak service, Collier
Area Transit's paratransit program operates up to 25 routes and or manifests each day; using an
average of 15 Collier County owned vehicles. The balance of the routes are operated vehicles
provided by private-for-profit providers.
The maintenance of Collier County owned vehicles is performed by Collier County Fleet
Management. Subcontractors are responsible for maintenance on privately owned vehicles,
Collier Area paraTransit's program conducts regular safety inspections on subcontractor vehicles
as a critical component of our overall safety and security program. Safety is a primary concern of
all transportation entities,
Our current vehicle inventory is supplied elsewhere in this grant application. As can be seen,
many of the vehicles presently in the Collier County / Collier Area Transit Fleet have high
mileage on them, As the Community Transportation Coordinator, we would like to be able to
replace high mileage vehicles.

COLLIER COUNTY I COLLIER AREA TRANSIT
2008 5310 GRANT APPLICATION
2009
EXHIBIT B: Proposed Project Description:
FTA - 5310
The Collier County Board of County Conunissioners is requesting FTA Section 5310
funds in the amount of $248,640.00 (80%). State match funds in the amount of
$31,080.00 (10%) will also be requested, This will be matched with local funds in the
amount of $31,080.00. Funds from this grant will be used to purchase replacement
vehicles to continue the existing level of service. The vehicles scheduled for replacement
have exceeded their useful life and must be replaced if normal service is to continue.
These and other vehicles will be used to provide paratransit transportation services
throughout the county,
The vehicles will be leased to providers under contract. Maintenance of these vehicles
will be performed by the Collier County Management Department.
Section 5310 funding for these vehicles is essential if service is to continue, Collier
County currently provides over $1,000,000 each year to provide paratransit service. The
current fleet of vehicles is inadequate due to their age and condition. If this grant is not
approved, Collier County may be forced to use some of the Local Operating funds to
purchase replacement vehicles. Collier Area Transit provides ADA, Medicaid,
Transportation Disadvantaged, and agency funded paratransit trips for the at-risk
population of Collier County, including those with disabilities, low income, or the
elderly. Without 5310 funds for replacement vehicles, Collier County may have to
implement the prioritization of Transportation Disadvantaged paratransit trips as allowed
by the State of Florida Conunission for the Transportation Disadvantaged, outlined in
Collier County's Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan. Trips would be reduced
and many passengers would not have access to recreational, medical, shopping and other
life sustaining transportation.
A Budget is provided elsewhere in the grant application.
