Resolution - Public Transit Services:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a FY 2023 Section 5304 Planning Grant, TxDOT PLN 2303 (05) 040_22, Project ID 51008030523, with the Texas Department of Transportation, for preliminary engineering, initial design, and environmental work.
Item Summary
TxDOT is allocating a FY 2023 Section 5304 planning grant in the amount of $500,000 for preliminary engineering, initial design, and environmental work for the administrative/maintenance facility, downtown transfer facility, and mobility hubs.
The preliminary engineering, initial design, and environmental work will be conducted by a consultant that will be hired through a competitive procurement process. The consultant will use the data from the Facility Feasibility Study and the Comprehensive Operational Analysis to determine what is suitable for the proposed locations of each facility.
The administrative and maintenance facilities and bus yard for Citibus currently occupy the greater part of two square blocks in Downtown. The administrative facility was renovated for transit operation in the early 1980s, and small upgrades have been done incrementally as funding was made available. The bus yard was renovated in 1999 and expanded in 2009. Security enhancements and surveillance were installed in 2009. The Citibus transfer facility was built in 1994, and is located on a city block in the center of Downtown Lubbock.
The agreement is effective when fully executed by both parties or on September 1, 2022, whichever is later, and shall remain in effect until August 31, 2024.
Fiscal Impact
Acceptance of this grant will result in no additional cost to the City of Lubbock. The City of Lubbock/Citibus has been awarded 100,000 Transportation Development Credits (TDC’s) to serve as local match. The TDC’s are included in the grant agreement.
