STAFF REPORT TO: Operations Committee

AC Transit Board of Directors

FROM: Michael A. Hursh, General Manager

SUBJECT: Transfer of Ownership of Sixteen (16) Buses to SamTrans.

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):

15-308 December 9, 2015

Consider adoption of Resolution No. 15-052 authorizing the General Manager, or his designee, to execute a Transfer of Ownership Agreement with the San Mateo County Transit District (Sam Trans) for the transfer of sixteen (16) buses for the Dumbarton Express bus service.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On July 9, 2014, the Board authorized procurement of sixteen (16) new buses from Gillig LLC for the Dumbarton Express service. MV Transportation is contracted to operate and maintain the Dumbarton Express service through December 2016. While the District led the procurement of the new buses in its role as administrator of the Dumbarton Express service, its labor agreements preclude AC Transit-owned rolling stock from being operated and maintained by a contractor. This report seeks Board authorization to transfer ownership of the new buses to the San Mateo County Transit District, which is also a member of the Dumbarton Bridge Regional Operations Consortium (DBROC or the Consortium), consisting of the five transit agencies which have oversight over the Dumbarton Express service.

BUDGETARY /FISCAL IMPACT:

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission provided the funds to the District on behalf of the Consortium to procure the 16 new buses. The proposed action is simply a transfer of title between two members of the Consortium; therefore, this action will have no impact on the District's budget.

BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:

On July 9, 2014, the Board authorized procurement of sixteen (16) new buses from Gillig LLC for the Dumbarton Express service as detailed in Staff Report 14-091. The current Dumbarton Express fleet consists of buses ranging from 12 to 18 years old, and they are a challenge to maintain in nominal operating condition due to their age. MV Transportation is contracted to operate and maintain the Dumbarton Express service from December 2011 through December 2016. AC Transit acts as administrator of the Dumbarton Express service on behalf of the

168 of 388

Report No. 15-308 of 3

DB ROC. DB ROC membership consists of AC Transit, the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, the San Mateo County Transit District {SamTrans), Union City Transit, and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.

The District led the procurement of the new buses in its role as administrator ofthe Dum barton Express service. However, provisions in labor agreements preclude AC Transit-owned rolling stock from being operated and maintained by a contractor. Historically, Sam Trans holds title to the rolling stock used for the Dum barton Express.

The new buses were procured using Regional Measure 2 (RM-2) capital funds redirected from the Dumbarton Rail project with approval and consent from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Dumbarton Rail project stakeholders. MTC Resolution 4157 authorized allocation of the redirected funds for the new bus procurement.

The only provisions identified for inclusion by MTC staff as part of the transfer agreement between AC Transit and SamTrans for the new buses is to restrict their use to Dumbarton Express service and to include repayment/reimbursement clauses should the buses be removed from Dumbarton Express service prior to the end of their useful life. For this reason and because the Consortium has contracted with MV Transportation via AC Transit to operate the Dumbarton Express service through December 2016, AC Transit cannot make use of the new buses for its own service.

ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES:

The advantage of this action is that it facilitates the replacement of the old Dumbarton Express rolling stock with new buses, thereby improving passenger comfort and contributing to an overall positive riding experience. In addition, new buses will help to improve service reliability and reduce maintenance costs. There is no disadvantage to this action.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS:

The alternative action is to deny the transfer. This is not recommended because the Dumbarton Express service would then continue to operate with aging vehicles past their life cycle. Moreover, due to the MTC RM-2 provisions, the new buses could not be used anywhere else.

PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTIONS/POLICIES:

Staff Report 14-091: Procurement of up to Ninety Six (96) 40-Foot Buses.

GM Memo 11-181a: Transfer of Ownership ofTen (10) Buses for Use in the Contracted Dum barton Express Services.
