From YouTube: COTPA Trust Meeting - April 3, 2020
Description
The regular monthly meeting of the City of Oklahoma City's COTPA trust for April 3, 2020.
A
Alright
I'll
show
9
o'clock,
so
I've
got
a
few
announcements
before
we
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
as
if
this
teleconference
has
discontinued
at
any
time.
During
the
meeting,
the
meeting
will
be
stopped
and
reconvene
once
the
audio
connection
is
restored
and
if
it
can't
be
restored,
we'll
try
again
one
o'clock
this
afternoon
and
I'd:
ask
that
all
participants
accept
the
Trustees.
Keep
their
phones
on
mute
until
they're
recognized
to
speak.
A
Trustees
will
be
allowed
to
ask
any
questions
comments
at
any
time
during
the
meeting,
so
I
will
call
the
the
April
meeting
of
teleconference
meeting
of
central
common
transportation
and
Port
Authority
to
order.
We
need
to
take
a
roll
call
vote,
but
I
would
also
say
that
any
items
that
require
action
on
our
agenda
has
to
be
recorded
by
voice
vote
and
I'll.
A
B
B
A
A
A
A
Yes,
Laura,
yes,
Brent!
Yes,
all
right!
Thank
you.
Now
our
items
for
individual
consideration
item
a
is
quite
lengthy,
I'm
just
going.
To
paraphrase
it
a
little
bit,
please
that
the
resolution
ratifying
the
actions
of
the
administrator
in
declaring
an
emergency
and
implementing
an
emergency
purchasing
policy
in
procurement
of
supply,
services,
materials
or
equipment
in
response
to
the
Cova
219,
and
also
the
administrator
to
adjust
service
level
schedule
fares
and
redirect
human
resources
as
necessary
to
respond
to
the
kovat,
not
219,
so
Jason.
If
you'd
like
to
make
any
comments
on
item
a.
D
D
You
know,
deliver
services
that
we
have
them
contracted
to
provide
or
deliver
so
I'm,
really
just
all
in
the
all,
in
the
interest
of
keeping
the
system
running
and
making
sure
that
we
have
the
supplies
and
services
that
we
need
and
then
really
I
think
the
bigger
piece
of
that
is
allowing
the
administrator
to
adjust
service
levels
fares
and
redirect
human
resources
as
necessary.
And
again
it's
it's
really.
B
D
Idea
is
to
build
in
the
continuity
and
resiliency
of
the
system,
despite
the
current
operating
conditions
that
we're
in
and
as
the
trustees
know,
and
as
we've
put
information
out
publicly,
we
are
leveraging
this
state
of
emergency
to
make
some
adjustments
to
our
service
levels
and
the
service.
The
service
level
adjustments
are
made
primarily
in
the
interest
of
protecting
the
public
health
and
protecting
our
employees
and
the
way
we're
going
to
go
about
doing
that
is
starting
Sunday.
D
We're
going
to
adjust
to
a
12-hour
service
span
here
in
Oklahoma
City,
so
will
it
be
operating
6:30
a.m.
to
6:30
p.m.
seven
days
a
week,
the
majority
of
our
routes
are
going
to
move
from
30-minute
frequency
to
one-hour
frequency,
with
the
exception
of
the
following,
we'll
have
we
will
have
routes
23
to
5
and
38.
All
maintain
frequency
will
have
Ralph's
12,
13
and
14
on
45
minutes
three,
and
so
what
that
allows
is.
D
Basically,
work
half
of
our
operations
and
maintenance
staff
on
any
given,
thereby
allowing
the
other
half
of
our
staff
to
be
able
to
follow
the
mayor's
Proclamation
and
the
governor's
executive
order
to
shelter
in
place.
So
again,
the
the
changes
are
being
made
with
the
interest
of
offering
as
much
protection
these
in
the
public
as
we
can
a
couple
of
other
changes
to
the
service
that
have
been
implemented
under
this
declaration
of
emergency
is
we
have
limited
access
to
the
Transit
Center?
We
allow
five
people
in
the
transit
center.
D
Now
we
keep
the
transit
center
open,
only
to
purchase
bus
passes
and
for
restroom
facilities
and
then
also
as
you're
aware,
we
have
implemented
required
spacing
on
the
buses
to
keep
with
the
social
distancing
requirements.
So
we
have
certain
seats
that
are
are
basically
marked.
Is
you
know
not
usable
in
order
to
maintain
that
distancing
and
again
for
the
trustees
information?
D
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
how
that's
impacted
our
operations,
we
could
get
approximately
12
people
now
on
a
40-foot
bus
about
10
people
on
a
35-foot
bus
and
roughly
eight
on
a
on
a
30-foot
bus.
So
that's
just
a
summary
and
if
the
service
changes
that
that
have
kind
of
come
along
with
this
declaration
of
emergency
and
I'm
glad
to
answer
any
other
questions,
the
trustees
might
have.
A
A
C
C
A
B
A
D
But
you
know
it's
a
pretty
critical
position
for
our
department,
our
financial
services
manager
and,
like
we've
done
in
the
past,
with
some
of
our
key
division,
heads
that
are
retired
after
you
know,
literally
decades
of
experience
with
the
department
we'd
like
to
encourage
them
and
and
try
to
secure
a
basically
a
contract
for
consulting
services
so
that
we
can
better
transition.
You
know
we're
basically
were
able
to
keep
that
institutional
knowledge
and
better
transition.
D
You
know
whoever
that
that
new
person
is
in
the
position,
and
so
yeah
melissa
has
agreed
to
you
to
support
us
on
a
limited
basis,
primarily
be
there
to
answer
some
questions
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
the
pivotal
roles
she'll
play
is
training
the
or
assisting
and
training
the
new
person
in
that
position
with
our
NTD,
our
national
transit
database
reporting.
So
with
approval
of
this
item,
it
will
certainly
strengthen
our
position
in
terms
of
transitioning
to
to
whoever
our
next
money.
Services
Manager
is
estimated
cost
on
the
item.
A
C
A
C
A
Brent,
yes
and
Steve.
Yes,
all
right!
Thank
you
item.
C
is
an
amendment
number
one
to
professional
services,
agreement
with
the
wet
investments,
DBA
elite
protection
service
for
street
car
fare
inspection
and
security
services,
estimated
cost
at
three
hundred
thousand
so
Jason.
You
might
explain
this
yeah.
D
In
the
initial
contract
approved
by
the
board
back
in
October,
we
competitively
bid
our
security
services
elite,
the
leading
protection
I'm,
sorry
elite
protection
services
was
awarded
the
contract.
When
we
took
the
contract
to
the
trust,
we
had
a
an
estimated
amount
or
not
to
exceed
amount
of
fifty
thousand
in
that
contract,
and
that
was
essentially
an
error
on
our
part.
We
should
have
had
the
full
estimated
annual
cost
of
about
three
hundred
thousand
in
the
contract.
D
So
since
we're
bumping
up
on
exceeding
that
fifty
thousand
we
need
to,
we
need
to
increase
the
amount
and
just
as
a
reminder,
the
three
hundred
thousand
roughly
that
we
pay
annually
for
security
services
covers
our
security
at
the
Transit
Center.
When
we
use
contracted
security,
it
covers
the
fare
inspection
officers
on
the
streetcar
and
then
it
also
covers
some
security
at
the
streetcar
storage
and
maintenance
facility.
So
this
this
agreement
or
this
contract
is
essentially
for
all
of
our
security
services
for
all
modes.
D
D
Item
D
is
really
a
pricing
agreement
between
the
trust
and
another
security
company
here
locally
superior
security
that
has
a
contract
with
the
utilities,
trust
and
really
our
motivation
for
going
out
and
getting
this
separate
contract
is
really
to
provide,
really
gives
us
the
ability
to
provide
supplemental
security
service
if,
for
some
reason,
elite
our
primary
security
provider
is
coming
up.
You
know
short-handed
in
terms
of
staffing
and,
quite
frankly,
the
only
reason
this
item
is
on
the
agenda
is
because
of
the
current
state
of
emergency.
D
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
if,
for
some
reason,
our
primary
security
service
provider
couldn't
didn't,
have
the
personnel
that
we
had
another
provider
to
draw
from.
So
this
is
so
with
approval
of
this
pricing
agreement.
It
gives
us
the
ability
to
also
use
superior
security
to
supplement
elite.
If,
for
some
reason
you
know,
elite
doesn't.
D
D
B
A
B
B
D
A
B
A
Yes,
Steve,
yes,
all
right!
Thank
you.
We've
got
three
more
items.
Item
II
is
amendment
number
one
to
contract
for
engineering
services
with
HNTB
corporation
for
Phase,
two
of
the
northwest
bus
rapid
transit,
an
increase
of
a
million
for
33.
So
this
is
one
of
the
more
important
items
we
had
on
the
agenda
to
to
have
a
to
have
a
meeting
this
month.
So
Jason.
D
A
A
B
A
C
D
Thank
you
right
so
so
this
is
amendment
one
to
our
engineering
contract
with
HNTB
for
the
bus,
rapid
transit
corridor
along
Classen
and
northwest
expressway.
D
D
You
know
all
the
way
through
final
design,
and
you
can
see
in
your
memo
there
some
of
the
tasks
that
are
that
are
going
to
be
laid
out
with
this
amendment.
But,
as
you
recall,
we've
we've
completed
the
environmental
we've
done.
You
know
some
conceptual
planning
through
task
1a
and
now
with
approval
of
this
contract,
will
start
doing
the
the
work
for
for
the
preliminary
design
report
we'll
get
to
30%
plans,
the
60%
working
our
way
up
to
basically
a
hundred
percent
plans.
D
There
HDTV
is
going
to
assist
with
the
documents
to
bid
the
project
they're
going
to
assist
with
an
operating
plan
for
the
BRT.
The
amendment
also
includes
consultation
on
bus
procurement
and
then,
of
course,
assisting
us
with
facilitating
some
public
meetings.
So
again
it's
a
significant
amendment,
but
it's
also
a
very
significant
milestone
being
the
project
forward.
So
two
other
quick
comments-
and
you
can
see
this
on
on
your
memo,
but
the
total
contract
amount
with
task.
D
1A
that's
been
completed
and
then
this
amendment
is
going
to
put
the
contracts
right
around
1.8
million
and
that
equates
to
right
around
10
percent
of
the
project
left
the
bus
procurement
side
of
that.
So
you
know
I.
Think
generally,
you
know
we
look
at
8
to
10
percent
for
a
and
E
as
part
of
these
projects,
so
we're
a
little
bit
at
the
high
end
of
that.
But
I
think
you
know
well
within
the
parameters
of
what
we
would
expect
and
then
just
a
quick
comment
on
the
funding
source.
D
D
Geo
bond
funds
for
the
local
share
so
anyway,
with
that
I'm
glad
to
answer
any
questions:
oh
I'm,
sorry,
one
other
thing
that
I
know
is
probably
of
interest
to
the
trust
is
just
the
timing
on
basically
with
the
approval
of
this
amendment
and
then
giving
HNTB
Notice
to
Proceed,
they
will
work
on
the
tasks
that
I
described.
All
the
way
really
through
just
about
the
end
of
2021,
is
when
we'll
get
to
final
design,
at
least
that
last
quarter
thereof,
2021
and
then
we'll
begin
construction,
possibly
based
on
the
timeline.
A
D
B
A
B
A
D
D
D
Group
is
just
over
16,000
dollars
and
then
there
was
just
under
nine
hundred
dollars
allocated
to
reworking
some
of
the
counter
space
in
the
in
the
offices
that
were
constructing
in
the
garage.
So
overall,
as
you
mentioned,
the
total
change
order
is
thirty,
one
thousand
six
hundred
ninety
six
dollars
and
ninety-five
cents.
D
It
is
our
third
change
order
on
the
project,
but
if
you
add
all
the
change
orders
to
date
or
just
under
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
over
the
contract,
so
it's
an
overall
increase
so
far
was
that
with
the
three
change
orders
of
1.4
percent,
which
at
least
at
this
point
is
definitely
manageable.
I
mean
I.
E
A
C
A
C
B
A
C
A
B
A
D
What
I
did
what
a
mention
is?
Having
talked
with
the
chairman
of
the
Transportation
Committee
trustee
Seffner,
depending
on
how
this
progresses,
we
would
plan
to
you
know
further
vet
what
our
plans
are
for
expansion
in
probably
a
upcoming
joint
Transportation
and
Finance
Committee
meeting,
and
then
the
other
item
I
wanted
to
mention
is
that
in
no
way
shape
or
form
disapproval
of
this
item
allow?
You
know
the
administrator
or
designee
to
actually
purchase
property.
A
B
A
B
C
A
A
B
E
A
C
A
A
D
Minutes
as
went
by
so
just
two
quick
comments
and
I've
made
I've
shared
this
with
the
trustees
before,
but
it's
a
significant
source
of
revenue,
so
I
just
want
to
remind
the
group
again
that
I'm
looking
at
our
transit
operations,
in
particular
our
federal
grant
revenue
to
be
through
February
about
2.5
million
less
than
what
we
had
projected
and
we
did
receive
over
three
million
dollars
worth
of
reimbursements
in
March.
In
fact,
most
of
that
came
in.
B
D
Right
after
the
start
of
the
month,
otherwise
it
would
have
been
reflected
in
this
February
financial
and
then
the
other
item.
I
wanted
to
share
with
the
trustees
too
and
I
know.
I've
mentioned
this
here
in
the
last
week,
but
with
the
cares
Act
that
is
now
signed
into
law,
there's
about
25
billion
going
to
transit
across
the
country,
and
although
we're
still
working
out
the
details
of
how
that
will
affect
us
locally,
it
goes
without
saying
we
are
incurring
some
additional
expenses
to
respond
to
our
state
of
emergency.
D
But
all
indications
at
this
point
look
like
we're.
Definitely
going
to
be
able
to
seek
federal
reimbursement
for
some
of
those
expenses
associated
with
with
our
response,
so
I'll
be
sure
to,
of
course,
keep
the
trustees
informed
as
we
move
through
that.
But
if
there
are
any
thoughts
about
you
know,
additional
pressures,
look
particularly
on
the
expenditure
budget
on
the
transit
side,
I'm
optimistic
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
recover
a
lot
of
that,
if
not
all
through
the
federal
funds
that
are
on
the
way
and
also.
D
But
you
know
looking
at
the
financials
here:
okay,
February
there's
virtually
you
know
you
just
can't
see
any
impact
at
all
to
the
you
know
to
the
current
state
of
emergency
that
we're
in,
but
when
we
start
looking
at
our
March
financials
and
particularly
our
April
financials.
That's
when
things
are
going
to
dramatically
change,
but
we
as
staff
will
be
like
I
said,
will
be.
We
feel
like
we'll,
be
well
ahead
of
that
trying
to
look
at
how
that's
impacting
our
parking
system
and
definitely
appreciate
the
finance
departments.
Assistance
with
that
all.
A
B
B
A
Okay,
all
right,
we
don't
have
any
program
reports
items
from
the
trustees
I
would
before
I
ask
for
that.
I
would
just
say
that
we
all
say
our
prayers
for
our
country
and
our
state
and
our
city
and
all
our
family
and
friends
and
every
one
of
you
all
take
care
of
yourselves
and
maybe
by
our
May
meeting,
will
be
back
to
somewhat
normal
and
can
get
to
see
each
other
again.
So
any
comments,
James.
B
A
A
Yes,
I,
don't
have
anything
all
right,
Steve
all
right,
I
have
nothing
to.
Thank
you
all
right.
Well,
as
I
say
this,
or
these
are
difficult
times-
and
this
is
a
first
for
us
on
a
teleconference
meeting
and
I
guess
we
got
through
it
and
and
got
everything
done
and
I
would
tell
you
know:
I've
got
I've
got
everything
signed,
so
the
staff
can
pick
up
all
the
signed
contracts
today.
So
if
there's
nothing
else,
everybody
please
take
care
of
yourselves
and
we'll
see
you
next
month.
Meeting
adjourned,
yeah.
