|
| | | | | | | | Purpose:
Discussion and possible action to: (a) authorize the Neighborhood and Human Services Department to accept two Intergovernmental Agreements totaling $235,161 between the City of Peoria and the City of Phoenix through Federal Transit Authority; and (b) approve a budget amendment in the amount of $211,448 from the Contingency account to the Transit Fund; and (c) authorization to use the funds as recommended. |
| | | | | | | | Summary:
The City is eligible to receive reimbursement from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant program by way of a pass through agreement with the City of Phoenix. The City of Phoenix is the regional recipient for grant funds and has received FTA grants that allocate federal funds to Peoria projects.
Grant AZ-2024-028 provides $55,431 in federal funds for preventative maintenance expenses related to ADA paratransit operating services, to include Dial-A-Ride. This grant requires a 25% local match by Peoria totaling $13,858.
Grant AZ-2024-011 provides $179,730 in federal funds for the purchase of two Dial-A-Ride vehicles. This grant requires a 17.65% local match in the amount of $31,718 which is reimbursed through an agreement with Valley Metro for regional funds for vehicle purchases. The two new Dial-A-Ride vehicles will replace existing vehicles. |
| | | | | | | | Previous Actions/Background:
The last grant agreement between the City of Phoenix and the City of Peoria was approved by City Council on April 05, 2022 for grant pass through funding for transit projects. |
| | | | | | | | Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends authorization to (a) approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City of Phoenix for Grants AZ-2024-011 and AZ-2024-028 for reimbursement of transit operating and bus procurement expenses and (b) approve a budget amendment of $211,488 from contingency to Transit to purchase two Dial-A-Ride vehicles. |
| | | | | | | | Fiscal Analysis:
The Transit budget includes funding for vehicle maintenance expenses in the operating budget. The grant, AZ-2024-028, will be used to reimburse the City of Peoria for eligible Transit Expenses. Therefore, there will be no fiscal impact to the City.
The $211,488 budget amendment will use one-time funds from contingency to Transit to cover the purchase of two replacement Dial-A-Ride Vehicles. There will be a revenue offset from the grant, AZ-2024-011, in the amount of $179,730. The City of Peoria is responsible for the match of $31,718. |
