Agenda Item #10c City of Wichita City Council Meeting November 23, 2004 Agenda Report No. 04-1168 TO: City Council Members SUBJECT: Recertification of Paratransit Eligible Passengers (All) INITIATED BY: Wichita Transit AGENDA: Consent Recommendations: Authorize execution of a contract with Performance Assessment Center for recertification services. Background: On April 13, 2004, City Council approved a plan that would recertify all of Wichita Transit ADA paratransit clients. An important component of this recertification plan was to have a third-party contractor perform all "in-person" application interviews, and physical and / or cognitive functional assessments, as necessary. WT estimates it will take three (3) years to recertify all present and new clients. All clients will be recertified every three years. It is estimated the recertification plan will have an annual cost avoidance after the third year of $120,000 per annum. Analysis: The recertification plan involves contracting for professional services. An RFP was prepared and two groups submitted proposals. The RFP selection committee found the proposal submitted by Performance Assessment Center (PAC) to be the best qualified per the evaluation criteria established: qualifications, price, staffing and organization, work plan, and operating facility. The RFP called for a 3-year contract, with 2 option years. Financial Considerations: WT estimates the proposal submitted by PAC will cost $141,960 the first year, while years two and three will be $139,460. The allocation of funds to cover these costs for the life of this contract will be: Federal Transit Administration (FTA) annual allocation 40%, Federal Access to Jobs 24%, Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) 24%, and local City match 12%. Local match from the Transit fund has already been budgeted, so no additional funds will be necessary. Legal Considerations: The Legal Department will negotiate and prepare a contract in conformity with the RFP. Recommendation/Actions: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a contract with Performance Assessment Center. Agenda Item #10d. (Deferred November 16, 2004) City of Wichita City Council Meeting November 23, 2004 Agenda Report No. 04-1138A TO: Mayor and City Council SUBJECT: Cessna Sublease Agreement (District I) INITIATED BY: Department of Finance AGENDA: Consent ______________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation: Approve lease amendment and sublease agreement. Background: On May 22, 1990 the City Council entered into a Lease Agreement with The Cessna Aircraft Company pertaining to the subassembly facility located at 2101 E. 21st Street. On May 1, 2001 the City Council approved an amendment to extend the term of the lease for a period of ten years commencing on the 1st day of May, 2001, and terminating the 30th day of April, 2011. The monthly rent was amended to $4,256 per month through the term of the agreement. The lease, limits the use of the premises for the purposes of supporting aircraft manufacturing, including, but not limited to, as a storage area. The workers in the facility will be general Cessna employees or Cessna contract employees. Analysis: Cessna proposes to sublease the 2101 E. 21st Street property to A New Beginning, Inc. a 501(c)3 not-for-profit drug and alcohol outpatient program provider. The sublease would be for four years, with an option to extend for Cessna's entire lease term, until April 30, 2011. The sublease would begin December 1, 2004. The proposed activity is allowable under the current zoning code. Staff has informed Cessna that A New Beginning, Inc., will be required to document activities and submit performance reports in order to meet HUD requirements. The HUD requirements are part of the sublease agreement. Financial Considerations: The sublease agreement states the following: SUBLESSEE agrees and covenants to pay as rent to SUBLESSOR for the Premises, for the term stated, the total of $215,640 [$186,618 in cash monthly installments paid by SUBLESSEE to SUBLESSOR and donation receipts for contributions made by SUBLESSOR towards rent of $22,698 in the first year and $6,324 in the second year] as follows: TIME PERIOD MONTHLY PAYMENTS 12/1/04 - 11/30/05 $4,256.00 ($2,364.50 in cash and a donation of $1,891.50) 12/1/05 - 11/30/06 $4,256.00 ($3,729.00 in cash and a donation of $527.00) 12/1/06 - 11/30/07 $4,729.00 12/1/07 - 11/30/08 $4,729.00 There is no change to the monthly rental payment due to the City from Cessna. Legal Considerations: The lease agreement between the City of Wichita and Cessna states that Cessna may not sublease without the prior written consent of the City, and such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Approval of the sublease does not modify Cessna's responsibility to make monthly rental payments to the City and insure and maintain the building and grounds. The Law Department has reviewed the sublease agreement. In order to facilitate the sublease between A New Beginning, Inc. and Cessna, an amendment to the lease between Cessna and the City of Wichita to expand the use of premises to include activities for drug and alcohol outpatient programs and the facility to be occupied by patients and A New Beginning, Inc., personnel, will be necessary. The Law Department has approved the lease amendment as to form. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council approve the lease amendment, sublease agreement and authorize written consent.

Agenda Item #12 City of Wichita City Council Meeting November 23, 2004 Agenda Report No. 04-1170 TO: City Council Members SUBJECT: Electronic Fare-Card Encoding System and Receiver Unit (All) INITIATED BY: Wichita Transit AGENDA: Consent Recommendations: Approve the purchase of the GFI Electronic Fare-Card Encoding System, the vault receiver unit, and the additional pass stock materials. Background: Wichita Transit recently implemented its electronic registering fare-box system, which was purchased with FY1999 and FY2000 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) capital funds, at 80% and matched 20% with funds from the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT). A total of $880,000 was approved by City Council in March 2003 for this system. After the initial system purchase, the project has a total of $82,213.43 of remaining funds. Analysis: During the first year of operating the electronic fare-box system, Wichita Transit followed the recommendation of the vendor (GFI) and delayed the purchase of the desktop model card printing and encoding machine until all system bugs were dealt with, and staff had a chance to gain needed experience with the new system. Now that the production process for Wichita Transit encoded passes is in place, the need has arrived for acquiring the encoding machines. The card-encoding machine will allow Wichita Transit to produce special limited quantity cards for special purposes (e.g. SRS program passes, student semester passes, special event passes, etc.). In addition, the encoding machine will also serve as a card replacement unit for damaged or defective cards that still have rides or cash value on them. Finally, it takes several months to get special cards coded (far too long for some of the limited notice events that are serviced) and the cost is prohibitive due to the limited supplies needed. Card printing and encoding machines are needed at both the Transit Operations Center and the Downtown Transit Center. In addition, a spare vault receiver unit is needed. The receiver is designed to provide a method of transferring collected revenues from the bus firebox to a secured cash vault providing a high level of security as no human hands ever contact the collected revenues. If a cash box from the firebox jams inside the receiver, the collection process is halted. Financial Considerations: The estimated cost of the GFI printing and encoding machine system and the vault receiver unit (exclusive products of GFI) is up to $70,000 (which includes 500,000 paper stock and 50,000 plastic stock passes with the Wichita Transit design that GFI already has been using). The $82,213.43 remaining in the original project budget was intended for this purpose and remains available for immediate use. FTA will cover $56,000 and KDOT will provide the $14,000 matching funds. No city funds will be used in this purchase. Legal Considerations: This is a sole-source acquisition. Recommendation/Actions: It is recommended that the City Council approve the purchase of the GFI Printing and Encoding System, the vault receiver unit, and the additional pass stock materials. Agenda Item No. 13a City of Wichita City Council Meeting November 23, 2004 Agenda Report No. 04-1171 TO: Mayor and City Council SUBJECT: Fleet Internal Service Fund Budget Adjustment INITIATED BY: Department of Public Works AGENDA: Consent Recommendation: Approve the budget transfers. Background: Fleet Maintenance is responsible for the operation and maintenance of about 2,200 automobiles, light trucks, heavy trucks, heavy equipment and light equipment used by City departments. Fleet does not provide vehicles or service for Wichita Transit's large buses, or for Airport equipment. Internal customers pay rent on vehicles and equipment to offset the operation, maintenance and future replacement costs. Services include preventive maintenance, repairs, tire service, mobile service, fueling, overhauls, towing, body shop and major mechanical repairs. Repairs to electrical components, cooling systems and heavy equipment tires are contracted to outside vendors. Major repairs for specialized heavy equipment are managed contractually with local businesses. Analysis: The Fleet Fund has a 2004 expenditure budget of $11,034,220. The budget is established based on known and estimated costs, including wages, insurance, repair parts and fuel. In 2004, parts and fuel costs have been significantly higher than estimated. The higher costs have caused a budget shortfall in the Fleet inventory accounts. Financial Considerations: To complete all 2004 transactions, it is estimated that transfers of up to $450,000 (about 4% of the budget) will be needed. The transfers would occur within the Fleet Fund. The transfers would use line-item savings to pay the increased costs. The Fleet budget will be re-evaluated in 2005 to incorporate new cost estimates and to look for operational savings. Legal Considerations: Budget transfers over $10,000 require City Council approval. Recommendations/Actions: It is recommended that the City Council approve the budget transfers. Agenda Item No. 13b City of Wichita City Council Meeting November 23, 2004 Agenda Report No. 04-1172 TO: Mayor and City Council SUBJECT: Transfer of Funds Within the Water & Sewer Utilities INITIATED BY: Water & Sewer Department AGENDA: Consent Recommendation: Approve the transfer of funds within the Water Utility. Background: In the past, a performance complaint of water and sewer customers was the length of time from the submission of an application for service-to-service installation. In July 2002, City Council affirmed Staff's recommendation to adopt procedures to reduce the time involved to install new water services. Time has decreased from an average of fifteen (15) working days to six (6) working days. Part of the procedural change was to have a private contractor install a larger portion of the services, particularly during the peak construction season. Analysis: This has been a record setting year for new water service installations, and revenues received for service installations have set a record as well. Nearly $2.09 million in plant equity fees were collected through October, compared to $2.06 million in 2003. Tap fees, thus far, have generated $1.6 million, compared to $1.3 million in 2003. Staff analyzed alternatives that would allow service installation and new construction to continue without increasing budget authority. If City crews were to install all new services, maintenance activities would significantly decrease, service installation times would increase and there would be a substantial increase in Staff overtime, creating a different stress on the budget. Financial Considerations: The 2004 revised Water Distribution budget includes $500,000 for installation of water services by a contractor, and additional funds in Personal Services for installation by Staff; however, contractors have installed a larger percentage of services than was anticipated. To-date $713,000 has been paid to contractors, with more service installation anticipated for November and December. Less has been paid from Personal Services than expected. A transfer of $350,000 in budget authority from Personal Services to Contractuals will provide sufficient budget authority to meet operational needs through year-end. The Finance Department concurs with the Water & Sewer Department assessment. Legal Considerations: City Council approval is required for budget transfers of $25,000 or more. Recommendations/Actions: It is recommended that the City Council approve the transfer. Agenda Item No. 14 CITY OF WICHITA City Council Meeting November 23, 2004 Agenda Report No. 04-1173 TO: Mayor and City Council Members SUBJECT: Acquisition of a Vacant Lot in the 800 Block of North Sprindale for the Crestview Country Club Interceptor Sewer (District II) INITIATED BY: Office of Property Management AGENDA: Consent ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommendation: Approve the acquisition. Background: The Crestview Country Club Interceptor Sewer project requires the construction of an interceptor sewer line across Crestview golf course. At its east end, the line will cross 143rd Street and tie into the existing interceptor line. A 25-foot permanent easement across the platted lots is required to reach 143rd Street. The houses in the area are large compared to the lots, making it very difficult to place a 25-foot wide easement without impacting improvements. This, coupled with elevations, made the undeveloped lot in the 800 block of Springdale the optimum choice. Analysis: The lot is one of the last undeveloped parcels adjoining Crestview golf course. The owner acquired the lot in 1994 for $100,000. He has plans drawn to develop the lot with a 5,000 square foot ranch-style residence. These improvements would prohibit the utilization of the lot for the permanent easement. The owner has agreed to sell the lot to the City for a negotiated value of $150,000. The site will be utilized for project staging during construction. When the project is complete, the surface of the lot will be restored and it will be offered for sale with the proceeds offsetting some of the acquisition cost. Financial Considerations: Funds have been budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP S-532) for this project. The funding source will be Water Utility revenues and reserves. A budget of $155,000 is requested. This includes $150,000 for the acquisition and $5,000 for closing costs and title insurance. Legal Considerations: The Law Department has approved the contract as to form. Recommendation/Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve the budget and authorize all necessary signatures. Agenda Item No. 15 City of Wichita City Council Meeting November 23, 2004 Agenda Report No. 04-1174 TO: Mayor and City Council Members SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewer for My House Addition (south of 55th Street South, west of Broadway) (District IV) INITIATED BY: Department of Public Works AGENDA: Consent Recommendation: Adopt the amending Resolution. Background: On June 8, 2004, the City Council approved a sanitary sewer project for My House Addition, a new residential development located south of 55th Street South, west of Broadway. Analysis: As part of the design process, it has been determined that the pipeline should be oversized to serve future development outside the improvement district. An amending Resolution has been prepared to increase the project budget with Sanitary Sewer Utility funds. The Utility share of the project cost will be recovered with the collection of Main Benefit fees in the future. Financial Considerations: The existing Petition on file is for $181,000. The revised total project cost is estimated to be $232,494 to be funded as follows: Sewer Utility: $115,000 Special Assessments: $106,000 Main Benefit Fee: $11,494 Legal Considerations: State Statutes provide the City Council authority to increase the budget with Sewer Utility funding. Recommendation/Action: It is recommended that the City Council adopt the amending Resolution.

Agenda Item No. 21 CITY OF WICHITA City Council Meeting November 23, 2004 Agenda Report No. 04-1179 TO: Mayor and City Council Members (Wichita Airport Authority) SUBJECT: Acquisition by Eminent Domain of Tracts Required for Runway Approach Protection at Mid-Continent Airport INITIATED BY: Office of Property Management AGENDA: Airport (Consent) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommendation: Adopt resolution and approve and place on first reading the ordinance providing for the acquisition by eminent domain of certain real property. Background: The property located west of Ridge Road and south of K-42 Highway partially lies in the Runway Approach Protection area as defined for Mid-continent Airport. The Airport has requested that this tract be acquired to prevent further development in this protected area. The site has 54.7 acres with 34.51 acres in the protection area and has been zoned and platted for industrial development. The site is currently unimproved. Analysis: City staff has attempted to negotiate the purchase of the identified property to protect the Airport facilities, but have been unable to reach an agreement with the owners. The property has been appraised at $410,000 and this amount has been offered to the owner. The owner has indicated that this amount is insufficient but has declined to provide a counter offer. Staff will continue to negotiate with the owner, but due to the lack of constructive negotiations to date, eminent domain proceedings are considered necessary. Financial Considerations: Funds have been budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program for acquisitions for runway protection. The cost of this acquisition will be paid for with a mixture for General Obligation bonds paid with airport revenue and passenger facility charge funds. Legal Considerations: The Law Department has approved the resolution and ordinance as to form. Recommendation/Action: It is recommended that the Wichita Airport Authority adopt the Resolution and approve and place on first reading the Ordinance providing for the acquisition by eminent domain of certain real property and directing the City Attorney to file the appropriate proceedings in the District Court to accomplish such acquisition.
