EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: Under an interlocal agreement between Capital Metro and the City of Pflugerville (“ILA”), date effective October 1, 2020, Capital Metro provides for a one-year Pickup Service Pilot. The service is possible by sharing FTA funds through the Capital Metro Service Expansion Program. The transit services were recommended as part of the Pflugerville Transit Development Plan, which is required in the Capital Metro Service Expansion Policy.
BUSINESS CASE: The City of Pflugerville is participating in the Capital Metro Service Expansion Program, which is funded with FTA Section 5307 Funds for transit projects. The ILA defines the parameters for the amount and use of the federal funds for this project.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item was presented and recommended for approval by the Operations, Planning and Safety Committee on September 15, 2021.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Through the Capital Metro Service Expansion Program, the City of Pflugerville uses a combination of FTA and local funds to pay 100 percent of the cost for transit service operated in the city. To use the FTA funds, the city completed and adopted a Transit Development Plan (TDP) in 2018 in compliance with the Capital Metro Service Expansion Policy. Under the ILA, Capital Metro and the City of Pflugerville agreed to a one-year Pickup Service Pilot. The service began on March 23, 2021 and the current agreement expires on September 30, 2021.
This amendment to the ILA updates the cost allocation for the pilot by updating the current amount of revenue per customer from $0.54 to $0.52. This is the updated agency fare recovery from FY2019 - FY2020. This amendment also extends the period of the one-year pilot through March 22, 2022.
DBE/SBE PARTICIPATION: Does not apply.
PROCUREMENT:Chapter 791 of the State of Texas Government Code encourages governmental entities to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of local governments by authorizing them to contract, to the greatest possible extent, with one another. In doing so, local governments are permitted to forego the requirements of full and open competition and contract directly with one another.
