Texas Department of Transportation

Notice of Request for Proposal - Workforce Transportation Projects

The Texas Department of Transportation (department) announces a Request for Proposal (RFP) for workforce transportation projects. The project will be funded through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 42 U.S.C. §5316 Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) Program, and will be administered by the Public Transportation Division of the department. The RFP is available in electronic and printed format from the department. See "To Obtain a Copy of the RFP" later in this notice.

Purpose: The purpose of the funding is for public transportation projects for access to jobs and reverse commute purposes. A job access project is one that transports welfare recipients and eligible low-income individuals to and from jobs and activities related to employment. A reverse commute project is one that takes individuals from urbanized (cities/downtown areas) and non-urbanized areas to suburban employers. The federal statute has no reference to welfare or income status associated with reverse commute projects; therefore these projects are open to a rider of any income level.

Eligible Applicants: Eligible applicants include local governmental authorities, private nonprofit organizations, operators of public transportation services and private for-profit operators of public transportation services.

Availability of Funds: A maximum of $5,245,677 ($3,065,349 for areas 50,000 to 199,999 population and $2,180,328 for areas less than 50,000 in population) will be available to fund the competitively selected job access and reverse commute proposals requested by this RFP. The department anticipates the project period to be from August 2007 to August 31, 2009.

Program Goal: The department's goal in administering the Section 5316 program is to promote the availability of public transportation services targeted to employment and employment-related transportation needs. To achieve this goal, the department's objectives are to:

(1) promote the development of employment transportation services throughout the state, in partnership with local officials, public and private non-profit agencies, and operators of public transportation services;

(2) fully integrate the JARC program with other federal and state programs supporting public, employment, and human service transportation;

(3) foster the development of local, coordinated public and human service transportation service plans from which JARC projects are derived;

(4) support local economic development; and

(5) improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the JARC program.

Eligible Projects: Eligible types of projects have been defined by the Texas Transportation Commission in accordance with FTA guidelines, other laws and regulations, and in consultation with members of the public transportation industry, see 43 Texas Administrative Code, Part 1, Chapter 31, Subchapter C, §31.17. These include projects for local administration, vehicle capital, planning, marketing, and operating assistance.

Job access projects include:

* financing the eligible costs of projects that provide public transportation services targeted to welfare recipients and eligible low-income individuals;

* promoting public transportation use by low-income workers, including the use of public transportation by workers with nontraditional work schedules;

* promoting the use of employer-provided transportation, including the transit pass benefit program under Section 132 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;

* supporting mobility management and coordination programs among public transportation providers and other human service agencies providing employment or employment-related transportation services;

* otherwise facilitating or providing transportation for employment or employment-related purposes by welfare recipients and low income persons.

Reverse commute projects include:

* subsidizing the costs associated with adding reverse commute bus, train, carpool, van routes, or service from urbanized areas and non-urbanized areas to suburban workplaces;

* subsidizing the purchase or lease by a nonprofit organization or public agency of a van or bus dedicated to shuttling employees from their residences to a suburban workplace;

* supporting mobility management and coordination programs among public transportation providers and other human service agencies providing employment or employment-related transportation services;

* otherwise facilitating or providing public transportation services to suburban employment opportunities.

Review and Award Criteria: Each application will first be screened for completeness and timeliness. Proposals that are deemed incomplete or arrive after the deadline will not be reviewed. Proposals will be evaluated against a matrix of criteria and then prioritized. Subject to available funding, the department is placing no preconditions on the number or on the types of projects to be selected for funding. During the evaluation phase of each proposal, the department reserves the right to conduct formal negotiations pertaining to a proposer's initial responses, specifications, and prices. An approximate balance in funding awarded to the five types of projects, or an approximate geographic balance of selected projects, may be seen as appropriate, depending on the proposals that are received. The department may consider these additional criteria when recommending prioritized projects to the Texas Transportation Commission.

Key Dates and Deadlines:

February 26, 2007. Statewide Pre-Proposal Video Teleconference conference.

1:30 - 4:30 PM CST Statewide Texas Department of Transportation district offices (with the exception of Odessa; applicants may attend in Lubbock, San Angelo or Abilene). Please notify the department district office in your area, three days prior to the event, if you plan to attend.

Public Notice of DEIS

Pursuant to Title 43, Texas Administrative Code, §2.5(e)(5), the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is announcing to the public the availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), dated January 2007, for the proposed construction of Segment G of the Grand Parkway (State Highway 99) northeast of Houston in Harris and Montgomery Counties, Texas. Comments regarding the DEIS can be mailed to the Grand Parkway Association, Attention: Segment G Comments, 4544 Post Oak Place, Suite 222, Houston, Texas 77027 or to TxDOT Houston District, Attention: Director of Project Development, P.O. Box 1386, Houston, Texas 77251-1386. Comments will be accepted by e-mail to segmentgcomments@grandpky.com. All comments must be submitted prior to 5:00 p.m. on April 27, 2007.

Transportation improvements are needed in the Segment G study area because there are inefficient connections between suburban communities and major radial roadways, the current and future transportation demand exceeds capacity, many roadways in the study area have a high accident rate, and there is an increasing strain on transportation infrastructure from population and economic growth. The purpose of the proposed transportation improvements in the Segment G study area is to efficiently link the suburban communities and major roadways, enhance mobility and safety, and respond to economic growth. The goal is to improve system linkage, address current and future transportation demand, improve safety and hurricane evacuation, and accommodate population and economic growth.

The study process included consideration of a full range of alternatives; the Study Team considered the No-Build Alternative, various transportation modes, alternative corridors, and various Build Alternative Alignments. Transportation System Management (TSM), Travel Demand Management (TDM), Smart Street improvements, and modal transportation improvements such as bus transit, high-occupancy vehicle lanes, rail feasibility, and new planned roadway construction were considered. Alternatives determined not to meet the need for and purpose of the project were eliminated from further consideration, while other reasonable alternatives were identified and carried forward for detailed study. The Build Alternative was selected because it is the only alternative that fulfills the need for and purpose of the project. The study approach first emphasized avoidance, and then minimization to ensure that the identified Preferred Alternative Corridor, and ultimately the Recommended Alternative Alignment, minimizes adverse impacts to the greatest extent possible. The Recommended Alternative Alignment was identified after careful consideration of comments received from the public and resource agencies.

The Recommended Alternative Alignment consists of a controlled access toll road on a new location. The proposed facility would include four main lanes and intermittent frontage roads within a right-of-way width of 400 feet. A total of four Build Alternative Alignments (A through D), in addition to the No-Build Alternative, are presented in the DEIS. All alternative alignments extend from IH 45 to US 59 in an east-west direction and are described as follows.

• Alternative Alignment A begins at IH 45 approximately 2.9 miles north of FM 2920 and passes through the center of the study area. This alignment alternative ends at US 59 near Community Drive and is 13.7 miles in length.

• Alternative Alignment B begins at IH 45 approximately 0.2 mile south of IH 45 and the Hardy Toll Road interchange. Alternative Alignment B passes through the northern and southern portion of the study area before ending at the same location as Alternative Alignment A. Alternative Alignment B is 13.6 miles in length.

• Alternative Alignment C begins at the same location as Alternative Alignment A but passes through the southern and northern portion of the study area. Alternative Alignment C ends at the same location as Alternative Alignments A and B and is 13.7 miles in length.

• Alternative Alignment D begins at the same location as Alternative Alignments A and C and is 14.4 miles in length. Alternative Alignment D passes through the northern and southern portion of the study area before ending at the same as Alternative Alignments A-C.

The Recommended Alternative Alignment that has emerged from the study is a combination of alternative alignments. The Recommended Alternative Alignment allows impact avoidance and minimization for a number of resources, fulfills the need for and purpose of the project, and provides feasible engineering alternatives. The Recommended Alternative Alignment best balances the expected project benefits with the overall effects.

The Recommended Alternative Alignment for Segment G would require the taking of right-of-way, the adjustment of utility lines, and the filling of aquatic resources including approximately 31.7 acres of potentially jurisdictional wetlands. The displacement of one business, 63 existing residences and 59 platted residences would occur. Additionally, like all alignments considered, the Recommended Alternative Alignment would affect visual resources in the immediate area, present potential access impacts, cause changes to community cohesion, and affect 129.9 acres of bottomland hardwood forests. No effects to schools, churches, archeological sites, historic properties, cemeteries, publicly-owned parks, remnant prairie topography, riparian forests, or endangered species are expected. The separation of farmland from homesteads is also not expected. No disproportionate affects to minority or low-income populations would result from this alternative. Although a Recommended Alternative Alignment is presented, selection of the final Preferred Alternative Alignment will not be made until after the public comment period is completed, comments on the DEIS are received and considered, and the environmental effects are fully evaluated.

The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act of 1970 (Uniform Act) requires that comparable, decent, safe, and sanitary replacement housing within a person's financial means be made available to all affected residents. The State's Relocation Assistance Program will be available to all individuals, families, businesses, farmers, ranchers, and nonprofit organizations displaced as a result of the proposed project. Acquisitions of businesses and residences will be conducted in accordance with the Uniform Act, as amended in 1987. Relocation assistance would be made available to all businesses and residences without discrimination, consistent with the requirements of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Housing and Urban Development Amendment of 1974. Representatives from the State of Texas will be available at the public hearing to answer questions and provide information concerning the property acquisition process and benefits offered by relocation assistance. The property acquisition process for this project is scheduled to begin in 2008. Construction could begin as early as 2009, depending upon the completion of property acquisition and the availability of funds.

Copies of the DEIS and other information about the project may be obtained by contacting Mr. David Gornet at the Grand Parkway Association, at (713) 965-0871. Paper copies of the DEIS may also be reviewed at the following locations: (1) Grand Parkway Association 4544 Post Oak Place, Suite 222, Houston, TX, 77027; (2) Texas Department of Transportation, 7721 Washington Avenue, Houston, TX, 77251; (3) Houston Public Library (Texas Room) 500 McKinney, Houston, TX, 77002; (4) Montgomery County Library, South Branch, 2101 Lake Robbins Dr., The Woodlands, TX, 77380; (5) Montgomery County Library, R.B.
