Chairman Redmond thanked Commissioner Vitagliano for his public service on behalf ofthe residents of Wyoming County.
D. CEO Report
Bill Carpenter, Chief Executive Officer, presented the monthly CEO Report as reflected in thepower point presentation, a copy of which shall be attached to these Minutes.
Commissioner Argust asked if there is a point at which we just can’t go any higher withOn-time performance? Chris Dobson, VP of Finance, responded that there is alwaysroom for continuous improvement. At some point in the future, we may find that we hitthat threshold.
Commissioner Fischer asked how much increased revenues have we received from theinterlining? Chris Dobson, VP of Finance, responded right now we’re not seeing theincreased ridership that we anticipated seeing, so we are not yielding additional revenueat this time.
Chairman Redmond asked if it is time to tighten the window on what is considered earlyand late for On-time Performance? Bill Carpenter, CEO, responded we are working onconnection points, that is what is more important to the customer. So we do measurereliability but as we talk about the schedule and what needs to be done, it’s getting thoseconnection points so that customers are not missing the next bus because it was early ortheir current bus was late.
Commissioner Pryor asked about the Reshaping Rochester Lectures that Bill Carpenterattended. Bill Carpenter, CEO, responded that the lecture that Dr. Norman Garrick gavethe night before described how the design of your transportation system will influencewhat your community will become. During the community leaders’ breakfast thatmorning the point was made that there are 190 unique municipalities in the 9 countyregion, as well as a variety of private developers, and the transportation system we havehas to be used by all. So how do you get to a holistic view/plan of the entire region whena developer wants to do a suburban mall and someone else wants a great urbancommunity? Dr. Garrick made the point in the morning conversation that there’s adifference between the City of Rochester doing well and there being a great urbanenvironment for the community (i.e. just because the City does well does not necessarilymean the urban environment is great). And great transit planning does not need toencompass the entire 9 county area.
On motion of Commissioner Battaglia, seconded by Commissioner Vitagliano, the CEO Reportwas accepted by unanimous vote.

Resolution Amending Resolution RGRTA 22-2015 Establishing the Guaranteed MaximumPrice for the Design Build Contract and Authorizing a Contract Amendment with LeChaseConstruction Service for Design Build Services for the RTS Campus Improvement Project,
RGRTA 33-2015
In response to a question from Commissioner Argust, Dave Belaskas, Deputy Director ofEngineering, stated that the board has already authorized the purchase of the lifts.
In response to a question from Commissioner Battaglia, Dave Belaskas, Deputy Director ofEngineering, stated that the reason we didn’t have the board approve the GMP forinstallation of the lifts back when the board approved the purchase of the lifts was thatthis project was moved up in the schedule in order to get the work completed in July andAugust. In order to still meet that schedule, and because there’s a long lead time to orderand receive the lifts, we had to get that authorized at the prior board meeting in order tomeet the revised schedule.
RGRTA 33-2015: On motion of Commissioner Battaglia, seconded by Commissioner Argust, theaforementioned Resolution, a copy of which shall be attached to these Minutes, was unanimouslyapproved.
Resolution Authorizing the Award of a Contract for Parts Management Services for RTS,RGRTA 34-2015

In response to a question from Commissioner Battaglia, Rusty Korth, VP of Maintenance,stated that yes we are currently contracting this out and have been for 10 years. We had acontract with NAPA for 5 years, and then we had a five year contract with Neopart. TheVMI industry is an ever maturing business model; it is not easy to do. We feel that MANCONis doing it right and has been with Virginia DOT for the last 13-14 years.

Takeaways
On-Time Performance has been improving year-over-year.
We have been doing this by tightening both our late and early arrivals.
Even as we continue to improve, OTP remains a focus of the organization.
We drive this focus at all companies.
We also focus on how changes, like interlining, impact OTP.

On-Time Performance: Focus on Interlining
What is interlining? Interlining ….
Refers to the practice of combining two routes end-to-end
Relies on a fixed transfer point between the routes, in our case: the Transit Center.
Allows the use of the same vehicle and/or operator on more than one route without going back to the garage.
Allows for a better matching of schedules and frequency based on ridership/demand.
Considered as a means to minimize vehicle requirements as well as a method to provide transfer enhancement for customers.
On-Time Performance: Focus on Interlining
The Transit Center and Interlining have changed our system…
What effect has this had on our On-Time Performance?

Takeaways
OTP has increased from 84% in 2009 to 94.8% in 2015
Integrated improvement process yielded results
System change from through routing to interlining has yielded added reliability for our customers
If we identify that the schedule needs to be adjusted, interlining makes it easier to modify it
When a route is running late (ex. Road closure, accident, weather), interlining permits more flexibility to insure the next trip starts on time

Furthermore, in May 2015, per RGRTA Resolution 22-2015, the contract was amended to undertake services for PhaseI.
RGRTA currently desires to proceed with installation of heavyduty lifts as part of the RTS Campus Improvement Project. Toaccomplish this phase of the project, LeChase ConstructionServices undertook a competitive process to establish aGuaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) to proceed with the work.
In May 2015, prequalified subcontractor bids were opened for theconstruction work. Popli Design Group, the Authority’sconsultant, and LeChase Construction Services performed post-bid interviews to insure that the full scope of work was included inthe low bids. Popli Design Group has reviewed the proposedGMP and has recommended approval.
The GMP includes allowances for project requirements, bondsand insurances and a five percent construction contingency onthe bids.
The proposed GMP value is $373,308. The breakdown for theGMP is shown below.

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERSAGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
Board MeetingDate:
June 4, 2015
Presenter: Rusty KorthSubject: Authorizing the Award of a Contract for Parts Management
Services for RTSBackground: The Authority desires the services of a parts management firm to
provide vendor managed inventory (VMI) services for RegionalTransit Service. These services include the acquisition,inventorying and delivery of bus parts necessary to support theday-to-day operations of RTS’ Maintenance Department andstaffing of the RTS parts room which includes the dispensing ofparts to RTS maintenance technicians.
The Authority sought proposals from VMI firms by issuing aRequest for Proposals (RFP) and publicly advertising forproposals in the New York State Contract Reporter and TransitIntelligence on December 24, 2014 and the Rochester BusinessJournal on January 2, 2015. Twenty-nine (29) sets of the RFPdocument were distributed to proposers. On January 14, 2015eight (8) firms attended a Pre-bid Meeting and a tour of the RTSmaintenance facilities and parts room. Subsequently, three (3)proposals were received and opened on February 13, 2015.Proposals were received from the following firms:
1. Genuine Parts Company DBA NAPA Auto PartsEastern Division, Albany, New York
2. Management Consulting, Inc. (MANCON), VirginiaBeach, VA
3. Neopart, LLC, Honeybrook, PA
Proposals were then reviewed and all three (3) firms were invitedin for interviews to enable RGRTA staff to seek additionalclarification regarding their respective proposals.
The contract award recommendation was based on the followingscoring criteria:
Qualifications and Experience of the Firm Project Plan for Providing the Specified Services Cost of Services and Parts Pricing Experience and Qualifications of the Staff
Based on a review of each firm’s proposal, reference checks andthe in-person interviews, the evaluation team arrived at thefollowing scores, based on a maximum score of 100
Management Consulting, Inc. (MANCON) 92Genuine Parts Company DBA NAPA Auto Parts 88Neopart, LLC 72
The evaluation team determined that the proposal submitted byManagement Consulting, Inc. (MANCON) was the most favorableto the Authority. The proposal and proposers demonstratedexperience in providing parts management services andinventory management dealing with a variety of clients includingCharlotte Douglas International Airport, Ohio Department ofTransportation, Virginia Department of Transportation andFederal Department of Defense Facilities. MANCON proposed abusiness model with fixed fees for VMI services and no markupon parts that was unique among the three (3) proposals and wasjudged to be most beneficial to the Authority. Further, theevaluation team concluded that MANCON has a highly qualifiedmanagement team with a strong analytics background to supportthe efficient provision of VMI services.
The proposal submitted by MANCON featured a fixed fee of$634,455 for its services. The services fee includes the labor
cost for the dedicated on-site staff and non-labor costs consistingof necessary equipment and operating expenses.
RTS will be charged the same price that MANCON pays for theparts, inclusive of transportation and handling costs.
Beyond the fixed fees for labor and non-labor expenses, a PartsFulfillment Incentive has been established in the maximumamount of $22,000 per year. MANCON can earn the incentive ona month-to-month basis if it satisfactorily fills 100% of RTS partsorders associated with a list of critical and frequently used parts.The Authority chose to implement such an incentive program dueto the savings associated with having parts readily availableresulting in more efficient utilization of RTS’ maintenance staffand the reduction in the amount of time that buses are out ofservice while waiting for a critical part.
Also, beyond the fixed fees for routine services provided byMANCON, an annual allowance in the amount of $10,000 hasbeen established for emergency services requested by RTS.
The Authority determined that MANCON appears to be aresponsible proposer and its price proposal is fair andreasonable.
Financial Impact: Based on the specified services set forth in the Request forProposals and the anticipated transition costs, MANCONsubmitted a fixed fee in the amount of $634,455 for the first yearof service, including transition costs of $26,284. The fixed fee(minus the transition costs) shall be adjusted annually subject tochanges to the Consumer Price Index (Northeast Urban, NotSeasonally Adjusted, All Items Less Food and Energy) for thepreceding twelve (12) month period with a 3.0% annual cap.
Further, allowances have been established for the PartsFulfillment Incentive and emergency services totaling $32,000annually.
The estimated cost for services and allowances for the initialthree-year term of the contract is $1,955,738, assuming amaximum annual escalation of 3.0%. RGRTA estimates that the
annual cost of the parts will be $2,900,000, escalating at anestimated rate of 3.0% per year resulting in a total combined costof $10,919,348 for services, allowances and parts for the initialthree-year term.
Assuming the cost of MANCON’s services and the cost of partsand supplies for the optional two-year term continue to escalateconsistent with the terms above, the estimated total cost for theoptional two-year term is $7,827,534.
The table in Exhibit “A” to the resolution sets forth the anticipatedfive-year cost of the services and parts, estimated at$18,746,882.
Actual annual expenditures will be based on the fixed fee forservices, incentive payments, charges for emergency servicesand the value of parts consumed. The project will be funded fromthe Authority’s operating budget.
Recommendation: That the Chief Executive Officer or his designee be grantedauthority to enter into a contract with Management Consulting,Inc. (MANCON) for parts management services for an initialthree-year contract with one (1) optional two-year renewal.

The Authority conducted a request for proposals for HVAC services at Authority owned facilities. Initially the services will be for the Main Street Campus, the Transit Center, RTS Access Campus and RTS Livingston Campus. As new RTS owned facilities are completed, this service contract will be utilized for the new facilities. The procurement was advertised in the Rochester Business Journal and the New York State Contract Reporter on February 27, 2015. A total of thirty-three (33) packages were sent out and five (5) proposals were received on March 26, 2015.

Board Meeting Date:

Subject: Resolution Amending RGRTA 59-2014 Authorizing the Award of a Contract for Vehicle Maintenance Services for RTS Seneca
Background: The Authority adopted Resolution RGRTA 59-2014 on September 11, 2014, authorizing the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority to enter into an agreement with Eagle Auto Center, Inc. (Eagle) for Vehicle Maintenance Services for RTS Seneca for a period of one (1) year with four (4) optional one-year extensions. We are currently in year one (1) of this contract. This resolution authorized expenditures estimated to be $50,000 based on rates and anticipated usage. At the time of the original procurement, RGRTA desired to include towing services. However, Eagle did not possess equipment capable of safely and reliably towing RTS Seneca’s Revenue Vehicles and thus, we had to utilize an out of county vendor at an additional cost. Since the procurement, Eagle has purchased a tow truck capable of safely and reliably towing RTS Seneca Revenue Vehicles. Towing rates will be assessed based on distance: $95.00 per tow for any vehicle towed within a 15-mile radius and $125.00 per tow for any vehicle towed outside a 15-mile radius and less than one hour. The standard contract labor rate of $75/hour will apply for each additional hour after the first hour in 15-minute increments. These towing and standard contract labor rates proposed have been determined to be fair and reasonable. The Authority has found Eagle’s maintenance services to be reliable and cost effective during this contract period and has had to use them for several extensive and unanticipated repairs due to the aging fleet of revenue vehicles. This unanticipated work to
the RTS Seneca Fleet, along with the estimated cost for towing for the remainder of the current contract year, requires us to request an amendment of $25,000 to the current contract value. This will amend only the first year of the contract with Eagle raising the total value of this year’s contract to $75,000. RTS Seneca anticipates replacing several buses within the next twelve (12) months and does not anticipate the level of extensive repairs incurred these last few months due to the age of the current fleet of revenue vehicles.
Financial Impact: Resolution RGRTA 59-2014 is amended to allow for towing services and to increase the contracted amount of $50,000 to $75,000 for the first year of service. The subsequent contract years remain at the $50,000 previously authorized amount. Funding for this contract is available in the RGRTA 2015-2016 operating budget.
Recommendation: That the CEO be authorized to amend the Authority’s agreement with Eagle Auto Center, Inc.
Resolution: RGRTA 37-2015
Resolution Amending RGRTA 59-2014 Authorizing the Award of a Contract for Vehicle Maintenance Services for RTS Seneca
WHEREAS, the Rochester Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (the “Authority”) adopted Resolution RGRTA 59-2014 on September 11, 2014, authorizing the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority to enter into an agreement with Eagle Auto Center, Inc. for vehicle maintenance services for RTS Seneca; and
WHEREAS, Resolution RGRTA 59-2014 authorized an agreement with Eagle Auto Center, Inc. for an estimated annual amount of $50,000 based on estimated hours and rates for a period of one (1) year with four (4) optional one-year extensions; and
WHEREAS, RGRTA has found Eagle Auto Center, Inc.’s services to be beneficial and cost effective for RTS Seneca’s maintenance needs; and
WHEREAS, RTS Seneca has been able to utilize Eagle Auto Center for extensive and unanticipated vehicle repairs; and
WHEREAS, RTS Seneca also desires to utilize Eagle Auto Center for towing services; and
WHEREAS, the anticipated additional cost of these additional repairs and towing services is $25,000.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Resolution RGRTA 59-2014 is hereby amended such that the Chief Executive Officer is authorized to amend the Authority’s agreement with Eagle Auto Center, Inc. to include towing services and increasing the estimated contract amount for year one to be $75,000; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chief Executive Officer or his designee is hereby authorized empowered and directed, for and on behalf of the Authority, to perform any and all actions and to execute any and all documents on behalf of the Authority as may be deemed necessary, appropriate or advisable to carry out the intent and purposes of the foregoing resolution.
