Review and Action on Minutes from August 20, 2014 and November 18, 2014. A motion to approve the minutes was made by Mr. Haney and seconded by Mr. Aasness. The motion was voted on and unanimously approved. 3. Consider Member Appointment to the 2016-2020 Transit Development Plan Consultant Selection Committee Mr. Altenburg informed the Board that Metro COG was beginning to develop the RFP for the 2016-2020 Transit Development Plan. To help with the procurement process, Mr. Altenburg explained that a selection committee would be formed to help evaluate different consultant proposals for the Transit Development Plan. In addition to staff members from MATBUS and Metro COG, Mr. Altenburg explained that the proposed consultant selection committee would also include the chair of the MAT Coordinating Board as well as one member, elected or appointed, from North Dakota and one elected or appointed member from Minnesota. Mr. Altenburg also explained that it would be proposed that the Board also serve as the Study Review Committee to help review Transit Development Plan milestones and deliverables. The MAT Coordinating Board recommended that Mr. Aasness of the City of Dilworth serve as a selection committee member for Minnesota. Mr. Gilmour further recommended to the Board that a City of Fargo Commissioner serve on the consultant selection committee. Being that neither member of the Fargo City Commission was present at the meeting, Mr. Gilmour 1 informed the Board that he would follow-up with each member and would contact Metro COG with their decision on who would serve on the consultant selection committee. 4. Consider Draft RFP and Scope of Work for the 2016-2020 Transit Development Plan Mr. Altenburg informed the Board that Metro COG was nearing completion of the development of an RFP for the 2016-2020 Transit Development Plan which would identify strategies and recommendations to improve transit service delivery in the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area. Mr. Altenburg explained that the current TDP was adopted in January 2012 and covers a fiveyear planning horizon from 2012 through 2016. Mr. Altenburg stressed that many of the system goals and objectives outlined in the current TDP have already been implemented and, coupled with emerging service demands in the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area, the need is seen to begin the update to the TDP in 2015 rather than wait until 2016. Mr. Altenburg explained that development and adoption of the TDP is recommended by FTA for the purposes of establishing a transit agency’s vision for public transportation, assessing needs, and identifying a framework for program implementation. Mr. Altenburg described that the consideration of both longrange and short-range strategies and actions better enable the development of an integrated multimodal transportation system that efficiently moves people and addresses transportation demands. Mr. Altenburg stated that since program implementation largely depends on funding, grants, and participation from FTA and/or other state agencies, there is a vital need for a comprehensive TDP to guide considerations and policy decision related to operations, maintenance, infrastructure, and capital under a defined panning horizon. Mr. Altenburg explained that the TDP would utilize the services of a contacted consultant, with a not to exceed budget of $150,000. Metro COG would be responsible for eighty (80) percent of the project costs through its Consolidated Planning Grant (CPG) funds, with the remainder made up by a local match from the City of Fargo and the City of Moorhead. A motion to recommend approval of the draft RFP and scope of work for the 2016-2020 Transit Development Plan, contingent on final approval by NDDOT, MnDOT, and FTA/FHWA, was made by Mr. Weil and seconded by Mr. Aasness. The motion was voted on and unanimously approved. 5. Operations and Ridership Report – October through November 2014 Ms. Van Beek and Ms. Bommelman discussed the operations and ridership data between October and November of 2014. 6. Preliminary Discussion on Fargo-Moorhead Mass Transit Operational Services RFP Ms. Bommelman and Ms. Van Beek informed the Board that transit contracts between Fargo, Moorhead, and First Transit expire on December 31, 2015. Ms. Bommelman and Ms. Van Beek stated that a Fargo-Moorhead Mass Transit Operational Services RFP would be issued in the spring, with award of contracts in the fall of 2015. Ms. Bommelaman and Ms. Van Beek explained that an evaluation team consisting of transit staff and Board members would be assembled to assist and review the full Mass Transit Operational Services RFP prior to distribution, similar to the team assembled in 2010. This team would include the Board Chair, two Board members from the Fargo City Commission, one Board member from the Moorhead City Council, representatives from area colleges, and transit staff from Fargo and Moorhead Mr. Christian made the recommendation that a member of Metro COG also be selected to serve on the evaluation team. Chair Hanson adjourned the meeting at 8:31. 2 Attachment 2 To: From: Date: Re: MAT Coordinating Board Adam Altenburg, Metro COG March 16, 2015 Consider Consultant Selection for the 2016-2020 Transit Development Plan Metro COG is in the process of initiating an update to the current Transit Development Plan (TDP). The TDP is developed under a defined five-year planning horizon and functions as a sub-element of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The TDP is intended to identify strategies and recommendations to improve transit service delivery in the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Area. Metro COG prepared project objectives and a detailed scope of work which provided the basis for the Request for Proposals (RFP). The RFP was developed in coordination with MATBUS, Valley Senior Services, NDDOT, MnDOT, FHWA/FTA and the MAT Coordinating Board. In January, Metro COG’s Policy Board approved the RFP to secure a consultant to complete the technical tasks outlined in the scope of work under an approved UPWP project budget of $150,000. Metro COG received two (2) proposals prior to the February 19 closing date. The Selection Committee met with and interviewed both of the consultants on March 6 to further understand each consultant’s technical qualifications, understanding of task deliverables, and past project experiences. Based on scoring criteria, written technical proposals, and in-person interviews, the Selection Committee has chosen the proposal submitted by SRF Consulting Group/AECOM. The initial cost form submitted by SRF Consulting Group/AECOM for the TDP is $149,909.86. Total project costs would be split 80% Metro COG; 13.33% City of Fargo; and 6.67% City of Moorhead. Invoices for the local match on this contract will be sent immediately following contract execution. Metro COG entered final contract negotiations with SRF Consulting Group on March 16 to review and finalize the scope and fee for this project. Given the timing of these negotiations, Metro COG is unable to provide the final contract document for the Board to review. Requested Action: Recommend approval of the contract with SRF Consulting Group/AECOM to complete the 2016-2020 Transit Development Plan pending contract negotiations to finalize the scope and fee, and the development of a final contract document. To: From: Date: Re: MAT Coordinating Board Dan Farnsworth, Metro COG March 16, 2015 Consider Section 5310 Grant Application Attachment 3 In February NDDOT solicited for Section 5310/5311 grant applications. The goal of Section 5310 is to improve mobility for the elderly and persons with disabilities throughout the country and the goal of Section 5311 is to provide statewide rural public transit. Metro COG notified interested parties regarding the application solicitation and NDDOT advertised the solicitation in the Forum on February 23rd. Metro COG is responsible for coordinating all applications within the Metro COG planning area and submitting to NDDOT. Metro COG received two Section 5310 grant applications and no Section 5311 grant applications. The Section 5310 grants were received from the City of Fargo and from Bethany Retirement Living. The following requests were made in the applications: City of Fargo Purchase 5 (five) Paratransit cutaways for City of Fargo and purchase 5 (five) seven passenger mini vans for Metro Senior Ride • FTA 5310 - $360,000 • Local match - $90,000 • Total cost - $450,000 Bethany Retirement Living Purchase one 13-passenger off center vehicle • FTA 5310 - $52,000 • Local match - $13,000 • Total cost - $65,000 Attached is the Section 5310 grant application which Metro COG will submit to NDDOT, pending MAT Board approval. The application combines all requests within Metro COG’s planning area; therefore both the City of Fargo’s request and Bethany’s request are included in the same application. Metro COG will need to submit the application along with all supporting materials by April 1st, 2015. Requested Action: Consider approval of the Section 5310 Grant Application Attachment 3a Application for Transit Funding For July 1, 2015 – June 30, 2016 North Dakota Department of Transportation Section 5310 – Enhanced Mobility of Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities Agency Name City of Fargo Contact Person Jim Gilmour, Director of Planning and Development The goal of Section 5310, the Transportation for Elderly Persons and Persons with Disabilities Program, is to improve mobility for the elderly and persons with disabilities throughout the country. Section 5310 provides financial assistance for capital purchases and operating assistance for transportation services planned, designed and carried out to meet the special transportation needs of the elderly and persons with disabilities in all areas – small urban and rural. The program requires coordination of federally-assisted programs and services in order to make the most efficient use of federal resources.

Fargo: Retail stores Bethany: Social outings for residents 3 Fargo: Employment Bethany: Medical Page 3 of 6 Are you the lead transit provider in your area? If not, what is the relationship of your program(s) to other transportation providers? Yes No What is the need for transit service in your area? Why Fargo: does this need exist? How have you determined this The need is extensive for both fixed route and need? Paratransit. The need exists in our urban area for several reasons: people choosing to ride transit for “green” reasons, students reaching campus facilities located away from the main campus, people getting to employment and medical facilities, elderly and disabled people unable to drive individual vehicles choose transit to help maintain independence. We have determined the need by studies, surveys and ridership trends. Bethany: Among our goals in the care of our residents is to provide a lifestyle that keeps residents as active as possible for as long as possible. We are already limited in our ability to get residents to activities in the community by an inadequate fleet of appropriate vehicles. As the population ages and baby boomers become our residents, their expectation will be that we help the stay active in the community How many trips do you provide on an annual basis? Fargo: Fixed route 2014: 1,741,524 Paratransit 2014: 53,893 Bethany: 120 How will this proposed project address this need for Fargo: service? The purchase of vehicles assists with replacing older, mechanically diminished vehicles, which conversely keeps the maintenance costs lower and enhances the safety of vehicles. Bethany: An additional handicapped-accessible vehicle will allow Bethany to take more residents to activities in the community more regularly. What days of the week do you operate your transportation program? What are your hours of operation for the transportation program?
