5. RESOLUTION: REQUEST APPROVAL FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER

FOR WEITZ TO INSTALL THE SERVICE CONDUCTORS FOR POWER TO THE ORBT PLATFORMS AS INCLUDED IN THE ORBT STATION ROADWAY PACKAGE, A PORTION OF THE OMAHA RAPID BUS TRANSIT PROJECT

EXPLANATION: Weitz was awarded the ORBT Roadway Package contract for

$8,903,028.00. The package included the construction of all of the components related to the station platforms including some utility installations. The bid package included the installation of electrical conduits, power cabinets and communications wiring from the power cabinet on the platform to the canopy. Through design discussions with OPPD they were going to install the electrical service conductors from their power source to the power cabinet on the platform. Based on OPPD’s current workload and ability to meet the construction schedule, Metro requested a proposal from Weitz to complete the work. The scope of the proposed change order is the installation of the service conductor from the OPPD source location to the new power cabinet installed at all 24 platforms. The cost of the proposed change order from Weitz is a not to exceed amount of $199,720.00. The proposed amount is 9.89% greater than the Independent Cost Estimate.

We are requesting the Board authorizes the Executive Director to execute the proposed change order for Weitz to install the service conductors to provide power service to the 24 ORBT Roadway Package platforms.

This item was forwarded to the Procurement Committee, prior to the Board meeting for their review.

6. RESOLUTION: REQUEST APPROVAL OF CY 2019 AUDITED FINANCIALS

EXPLANATION: Staff is seeking approval of the 2019 audited financial statements. Metro’s

Finance Committee met with the representative from Hamilton Associates, Curt Simon, and Denise Finken to review the December 31, 2019 Audited Financial Statements prior to today. A copy of the audit report is included in the Board Packet or under separate cover. Hamilton Associates performed the audit and produced the audit report. The Finance Committee will make their recommendations to the Board concerning approval of the 2019 Audited Financials.

Meeting Minutes – February 27, 2020

Agenda Item #1: Call to order

Mr. Young called the meeting to order at 8:31 a.m. For the benefit of the public in attendance, a copy of the Open Meetings Law has been posted in the meeting room and the Agenda is published on the display in the facility lobby. Agenda Item #2: Approval of Minutes of Previous Meetings Mr. Young entertained a motion to approve the minutes of the Board Meeting on January 30, 2020. Motion by Mr. Lund; Second by Ms. Haase ROLL CALL: UNANIMOUS; MOTION CARRIES. Agenda Item #3a: Administrative Reports (C. Simon)

Metro is currently short 1 operator Metro continues to advertise for skilled mechanics, and recently brought back some retired mechanics

on a part-time basis to fill in the gap in Maintenance

Agenda Item # 3b: Administrative Reports (D. Jameson)

All Maintenance and Utility staff concluded their Smith System and ORBT bus driving training last week. We plan to start early next month with Operator training on ORBT buses. The second phase of training with the Operators will include familiarization and initial driving the bus, inside our bus barn. This will follow by platform training and then ORBT public information training.

2 of the new paratransit vans that were delivered were built incorrectly by the factory, as the left side seating was installed in the wrong location, too far forward. The other 2 vans have the same issue, but are still at the dealer. They now have to replace the flooring to repair. The manufacturer is sending new floors next week to the dealer. ETA, hopefully in March. The balance of our order, 13 vans, the manufacturer is still awaiting the results of requisite FTA Altoona testing and certification because it is a new model year, (same as crash testing a new automobile); and we hope to have the balance of the vans by later in the summer.

The Guard Shack remains on order, and on schedule, and should arrive in late March. The Guard Shack will be located under the CNG canopy. This will allow maintenance staff to get out of inclement weather during the lengthy CNG fueling process.

We will be sending Tracy Wells to Smith System recertification training the 1st of April. Additionally, we will be sending R Sherping and R DeLeon to Kansas City in April for two days for Comprehensive ADA Paratransit Eligibility training.

Meeting Minutes – February 27, 2020 BG&E staff has started re-painting the stripes in the bus barn. Beginning later next month, maintenance staff will start the summer-time process of checking a/c systems on buses.

The Quality Team from Project Phoenix continues to meet every other Friday. Quality Team members are bus operators, E Gomez, R Sosa, J Martinez, from maintenance, S Scheer, and from admin. staff, T Wells, R DeLeon and myself. This past month, work continued on fabric cleaning procedures for bus passenger seats, dialogue with company-wide recycling education campaign, maintenance department small equipment and trash issues at shelters and transit centers.

The CNG canopy installation is complete outside of our 22nd Street exit doors, however we are awaiting for the electricians to return to complete the wiring connections.

The TSA was here earlier this month as we finalized our plans for the next TSA SETA, (Security Enhancement Through Assessment) training exercise; (pass out Fact Sheet handout). We are working on Phase 3.

Meeting Minutes – February 27, 2020

Agenda Item #4: Succession Task Force Update (J. Lund & A. Haase)

Mr. Lund and Ms. Haase reported to the Board that the Succession Task Force met for the third time several weeks ago to interview two qualifying search firms that meet Metro’s criteria. One firm was chosen unanimously. This firm has a good track record and specifically works within transit. The Succession Task Force feels that Metro will be able to form a strong partnership with the chosen firm. The task force will meet monthly, and the next scheduled meeting will be March 23 and 24, 2020. Agenda Item #5: Administrative Report (C. Simon) Mr. Simon informed the Board that Metro is working on a public transit safety plan required by the FTA. The State of Nebraska has contracted with SRF consulting to assist in its development. Several meetings have already occurred towards creation of the plan. Mr. Bill Troe of SRF presented to the Board that all transit agencies are expected to have the final plan in place by July 20, 2020 and Metro should have no problem meeting this deadline. Metro will include 7 target areas that include risk analysis and mitigation strategies for each area. Mr. Simon notified the Board that fuel recently dropped to an annual low. Mr. Simon locked in a contact that will span from July to the end of December 2020, which will save Metro approximately $95,000. This occurred too late to add to the February Board agenda so the resolution will be brought forward at the March Board meeting. Lastly, Mr. Simon informed all in attendance at the Board meeting that Board members will be doing an walkthrough after the meeting to allow Metro employees the opportunity to meet and interact with Board members. Agenda Item #6: Executive Session Mr. Young entertained a motion to enter into Executive Session at 9:33 a.m. Motion by Mr. Lawse; Second by Ms. Haase. ROLL CALL: UNANIMOUS; MOTION CARRIES.

ORBT UPDATE

2

Our crews are currently working on eleven ORBT station locations: Westroads, 49th westbound, 24th westbound, 20th westbound, 15th westbound, 12th westbound, Park Ave eastbound, 24th eastbound, 19th eastbound, 15th eastbound, and 10th eastbound.

Platforms are finished at 90th, 84th, 72nd, 62nd, 42nd & 33rd, and road barricades have been pulled. Lanes will continue to be opened as platforms are completed.

We hosted two open house events about the transition from Route 2 to ORBT this fall to help riders plan for how their trips may change. A third open house was canceled due to concerns with COVID-19. An online comment form was open through the end of the day on Tuesday, March 24th.

As construction continues, informational messages will be posted on Facebook, Twitter, and rideORBT.com’s construction updates page. Information will also be sent out internally to staff and to the Public Works email list.
