[M-2 Request that the City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to execute a Construction Manager at Risk contract with Hoar Construction for the general contractor management of the Downtown Tyler Community Space Improvement Project in the amount of $349,491.00.]

MAYOR AND COUNCIL. GOOD MORNING. I AM PRESENTING THIS ITEM TODAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT MANAGER AT RISK PROCESS THAT WE'RE DOING DOWNTOWN. AND WE REALLY LOOKED AT WE HAVE A TIGHT BUDGET. WE'VE GOT ABOUT 5.9 MILLION OR SO LEFT OUT OF THE 31 MILLION BUDGETED FOR DOWNTOWN. SO FOR PHASE TWO, THE GREEN SPACE WE LOOKED AT, HOW CAN WE BE MOST EFFICIENT WITH THE BUDGET AND THEN TALKING THAT THROUGH WITH OUR TEAM, IT WAS THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK. SO WE WENT THROUGH THE FORMAL PROCESS, THE LEGAL PROCESS WE POSTED IN THE NEWSPAPER ALL THE THINGS THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO DO DID THE QUALIFICATIONS, AND WE HAD SIX APPLICANTS FOR THAT PROPOSAL. THE FIRMS INCLUDED SEVERAL LOCAL FIRMS OUT OF TYLER, CI OUT OF TYLER FOR CONSTRUCTION, ALSO IS WORKING IN TYLER. AND THEN OF COURSE SPAIN, WHO'S CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE PROJECT. AFTER WE WENT THROUGH THE SCORING AND QUALIFICATION PROCESS, AS WELL AS LOOKING AT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY WERE REQUESTING FOR THIS, WE AWARDED OUR AT LEAST OUR SCORING TO FOR CONSTRUCTION. ALSO, ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS WITH FOR CONSTRUCTION IS THAT THEY WILL BE WORKING ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE GREEN SPACE. SO THE TIMING IS REALLY CRITICAL AND WE THINK THAT THEY CAN TAKE THIS AS FAR AS THE WEST SIDE AND THE EAST SIDE TOGETHER AND REALLY DO AN EFFICIENT JOB TO FINISH THE PROJECT FOR US. SO WE TOOK THIS ITEM TO HAPPENING YESTERDAY, AND THEY RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF IT OF THIS CONTRACT WITH FOR CONSTRUCTION. SO WE'RE REQUESTING THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE CITY

[00:10:04]

MANAGER TO EXECUTE THIS CONTRACT WITH FOR CONSTRUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF 349 491. AND JUST TO CLARIFY, THEY'LL WALK THROUGH THE PRELIMINARY PROCESS OF DESIGN WITH US SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THEIR EXPERTISE, WE ARE, AGAIN, STICKING TO THE VERY TIGHT BUDGET THAT WE HAVE FOR THE GREEN SPACE. AND STEVEN IS HERE FROM CONSTRUCTION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ANY QUESTIONS FOR STEPHANIE OR STEVEN, I WILL SAY THIS. FOR CONSTRUCTION AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE ON THE COURTHOUSE HAS PROVEN AND SHOWN TO THE TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY THAT THEY'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. SO I'M EXCITED THAT THAT. STEVEN, I'M GLAD YOU GUYS HAVE GOTTEN THIS, AND I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE EAST SIDE OF THE SQUARE AS WELL AS THE WEST. SO THERE'LL BE A CONSISTENCY IN, IN, IN THE PRODUCT THAT'S, THAT'S PRESENTED. SO I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS. SO ANYWAY.

[M-3 Request that the City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with HDR, Inc., to develop an East Grande, Old Omen, and Toll 49 Route Study for the Tyler Area Metropolitan Planning Organization in the amount of $200,000. ]

MICHAEL. GOOD MORNING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THE NEXT ITEM WE HAVE IS A PROPOSAL. THIS IS TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR THE ROOF STUDY FOR EAST GRAND BOULEVARD, OLD ROMAN ROAD AND TOLL 49. SO IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA, WE ARE JUST FOCUSING ON THE THE SECTION WHERE IT'S JUST EAST OF HIGHWAY 110, WHICH IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THIS MAP, TROUP HIGHWAY, HIGHWAY 110 IS LOCATED RIGHT HERE. THIS IS EAST GRAND. AND YOU SEE SHILOH ROAD TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE MAP.

SO THERE ARE MULTIPLE PLANS RIGHT NOW THAT THIS STUDY IS HERE TO SUPPORT. SO THE FIRST ONE IS BEING THE EXTENSION OF EAST GRAND BOULEVARD, WHICH IS GOING TO GO EAST FROM FROM THE CURRENT LIMITS AT HIGHWAY 110. THERE'S ALSO A PROPOSAL TO EXTEND OLD MONROE SOUTH IN THE VERY SAME AREA. WHILE ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING. SO THIS IS WHAT IS ALL IN THE THE CITY OF TYLER'S MASTER STREET PLAN. THE NET RMA IS LOOKING AT TOTAL 49 SEGMENT SIX RIGHT NOW, WHICH HAS THREE OPTIONS THAT THEY HAVE COLOR CODED. THE FIRST ONE BEING THE PURPLE ROUTE WHICH LOOKS APPROXIMATELY KIND OF LIKE THIS. AND THEY ALSO HAVE WHAT THEY CALL THE YELLOW ROUTE, WHICH ESSENTIALLY PARALLELS THE PURPLE ROUTE. AND THEN THEY HAVE A THIRD ONE WHICH IS CALLED THE TEAL ROUTE, WHICH GOES APPROXIMATELY IN THIS DIRECTION. SO THERE IS A LOT OF OVERLAP THAT WE'RE SEEING IN THE AREA. FURTHER COMPLICATING IS THAT THERE IS THE RAIL LINE THAT GOES ALONG JUST TO THE EAST SIDE OF HIGHWAY 110. AND. WHAT MAKES THINGS EVEN MORE INTERESTING IS WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO GRAND BOULEVARD. THERE IS A OVERHEAD UTILITY LINE THAT IN CASE THERE'S ANY CASES WHERE, FOR INSTANCE, IF THESE TWO STREETS ARE TO CROSS, SINCE TOTAL 49 IS AN ACCESS ROAD AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AN OVERPASS IN ORDER FOR THESE TWO TO CROSS. SO HAVING THE UTILITY LINE THERE REALLY MAKES THINGS A WHOLE LOT MORE DIFFICULT. AND THE LAST THING IS JUST LOOKING AT ALL OF THE DRAINAGE THAT'S IN THE AREA. SO THERE'S A LOT OF FLOODPLAINS IN THERE. SO THERE IS A LOT OF CONSTRAINTS HAPPENING, AND THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST IN TRYING TO MAKE ALL OF THESE THOROUGHFARES WORK.

AND THAT IS THE THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS LOOKING AT THESE SEPARATE PLANS. THE MPO DECIDED TO COME IN AND TRY TO SAY, LET'S LOOK AT THIS WHOLE AREA HOLISTICALLY AND TRY TO FIND A ROUTE STUDY IN A PROPOSAL FOR ALL OF THESE SCENARIOS THAT WILL WORK BEST. SO THE REALLY THE GOAL IS TO ADDRESS BOTH THE THE LOCAL AND THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION NEEDS. SO LOCAL REALLY BEING THE CITY STREETS, TRYING TO HAVE THAT CONNECTION FROM GRAN THAT COULD GO AROUND TO OLD OMEN, WHICH HAVE A CONNECTION FROM SOUTH TYLER UP TO THE UT TYLER AREA, AND THEN OF COURSE, THE REGIONAL TRAFFIC GOING AROUND THE EAST SIDE OF TOLL 49. ONE OF THE THINGS I DO WANT TO NOTE IS THAT THIS FINAL REPORT, IT WILL BE A RECOMMENDATION OF OPTIMAL ROUTES THAT THAT WILL BE WORKING WITH THE CITY AND THE RMA THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS TO TO FIND A RECOMMENDATION. BUT IT DOES NOT LOCK NEITHER THE CITY NOR THE RMA INTO A SPECIFIC ROUTE. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WILL WORK FOR, FOR INSTANCE, FOR THE THE PURPLE AND THE YELLOW ROUTES, AND ALSO LOOKING AT THE TEAL ROUTES IF THEY ARE SELECTED. SO THERE'S NO PREFERENCE THAT'S BEING GIVEN WITH THIS STUDY, JUST RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH SCENARIO. THE MPO PUT OUT A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS CALLED AN RFQ THAT WENT OUT IN SEPTEMBER. THERE WERE SIX SUBMITTALS THAT CAME IN, AND THE GRADING COMMITTEE THAT REVIEWED THE PROPOSALS FOUND THAT IT WAS HDR WAS THE MOST QUALIFIED FIRM TO PERFORM THE WORK. THIS STUDY WILL BE 100% FUNDED THROUGH THE MPO

[00:15:03]

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING GRANT. HOWEVER, THE CITY OF TYLER IS THE FISCAL AGENT FOR THE MPO, WHICH MEANS THAT WE FOLLOW THE FINANCIAL POLICIES, WHICH MEANS ANY CONTRACT EXCEEDING 100,000 IS BROUGHT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. SO THE CITY OF TYLER WILL BE PAYING THE UPFRONT COST AND THEN WILL BE REIMBURSED THROUGH THE TRANSPORTATION GRANT 100%. AND WITH THAT, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER AN AGREEMENT WITH HDR ENGINEERING TO DEVELOP AN EAST GRANDE BOULEVARD, OLD ROMAN ROAD AND TOLL 49 ROUTE STUDY FOR THE TYLER AREA METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION AND THE AMOUNT OF $200,000. MICHAEL, CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ON THE TOLL 49 SINCE THAT'S A NET PROJECT? WHAT IS MPO OR OUR FUNCTION REGARDING TOLL 49 WHEN THAT'S A NET MAY KNOW? THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WITH NET MAY WHO IS ACTIVE IN THIS PROJECT ALREADY AND HAS ALREADY BEEN SUPPORTING IT. THEY ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF DOING WHAT'S CALLED THE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF ALL THREE OF THEIR ROUTES. SO THEY HAVE NOT REALLY DETERMINED WHICH ROUTE THAT THEY WANT TO SELECT, OR EVEN IF THE ROUTES THAT THEY HAVE SELECTED RIGHT NOW ARE GOING TO BE THE FINALIZED ONES. AND IN TALKING WITH THE NET, MAY THEY HAVE SAID THAT ESSENTIALLY NOW WOULD BE THE BEST TIME FOR THEM AS THEY ARE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP THESE ROUTES AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS FOR THEIR STUDY. THAT'S THIS IS THE BEST TIME FOR THEM TO LOOK AT AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS COORDINATING WITH THE CITY OF TYLER PROPOSAL STREETS. SO IT REALLY BECAME THE WE REALLY DO HAVE THE SUPPORT FROM BOTH THE CITY OF TYLER ENGINEERING STAFF AND THE NET RMA ENGINEERING STAFF OF WANTING TO TRY TO FIND THIS BEST OUTCOME. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MICHAEL? NO, BUT I IT'S A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE IT'S IT'S NEEDED OUT THERE FOR SURE. SO GLAD TO SEE IT MOVE TO APPROVE M3. SECOND GOT A MOTION BY KURTIS. SECOND BY WINN. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. HEY, MICHAEL, WHO CAME UP WITH THE LITTLE TRAIN EMOJI THING? DEAL. THIS IS 2025. YEAH. THAT'S. I FIGURED EVERYBODY WOULD RECOGNIZE. YEAH. WAS IT THE B AND O THE SHORT LINE. THE PENNSYLVANIA. WHICH ONE WAS IT.

[M-4 Request that the City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to award Carahsoft Technology Corporation through Omnia Partners Contract # R240303 for the Samsara product as the telematics provider for the City of Tyler's fleet. ]

THAT'S FUNNY. THIS IMPORT. GOOD MORNING. YEAH I'VE GOT HIM FOR I'D LIKE TO REQUEST THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AWARD CARAHSOFT TECHNOLOGY CORP.

THROUGH OMNI PARTNERS CONTRACT R240303 FOR THE SAMSARA PRODUCT. AS THE TELEMATICS PROVIDER FOR CITY OF TYLER, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. WE'VE BEEN USING DRIVECAM FOR THE PAST 13 YEARS, AND IT'S BEEN AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO EVERY YEAR. DRIVER AWARDS. JAMES, HE'S A VETERAN, KNOWS THAT, HAVE NO RISKY BEHAVIORS. BUT FLEET WHEN IT COMES TO TELEMATICS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE WHAT THEY NEEDED FROM DRIVECAM. SO WE'VE BEEN RUNNING DRIVECAM AND NEXT TRACK. NEXT TRACK GIVES THEM THE ABILITY TO TRACK MOWERS, TRACTORS, TRAILERS. THEY GET TELEMATICS SUCH AS ENGINE HOURS, MILES, FUEL USAGE, DIAGNOSTIC CODES, ALL THAT INFORMATION THAT THAT FLEET NEEDS. BUT THERE WAS EITHER A TRANSITION WHERE NEXT TRACK WAS BOUGHT OUT AND THEY STARTED HAVING BILLING ISSUES AND GPS TRACKING ISSUES.

SO THEY STARTED LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SOLUTION. AND THAT'S WHERE SAMSARA POPPED UP.

WORKING WITH FLEET, WE STARTED A DEMO BACK IN JUNE OF 25, AND WE STARTED LOOKING AT COULD THIS BE A SOLUTION FOR ALL, AN ALL IN ONE DEMO WITH SOLID WASTE, TRANSIT CODE AND TRAFFIC AND EVERYBODY LOVED IT. PART OF IT IS WE'VE GOT INSTANT GPS TRACKING. WE CAN SEE WHERE OUR UNITS ARE. ARE THEY MOVING? ARE THEY SITTING IDLE? WE CAN SEE THE BREADCRUMB TRAILS TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ROUTE THE DRIVER HAS RAN THROUGHOUT THE DAY. OF COURSE, THE SAFETY IS STILL THERE. IT SHOWS BEHAVIORS THAT NEED TO BE COACHED, WHO COACHED THEM WHEN THEY WERE COACHED, AND WE CAN STILL RECOGNIZE THOSE WITH NO RISKY DRIVING BEHAVIORS. NOW FOR FLEET, THE MAINTENANCE MODEL. THEY LOVE THIS BECAUSE JUST BY LOGGING IN DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE. THEY SEE BATTERY VOLTAGE, MILES, HOURS AND DIAGNOSTIC CODE. DO WE HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT'S ACTIVE? IS IT LOW SEVERITY LIKE THAT? FIRST ONE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT, BUT PRETTY MUCH IT'S A VERY SMALL FUEL LEAK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH TELLING THEM THE GAS CAP PROBABLY IS AN OLD TYPE. SO THEY CAN SEE THAT JUST FROM LOGGING IN THE SYSTEM. OF COURSE, THE ABILITY TO TRACK THE MILES PER GALLON IDLE TIME. THIS IS ONE THAT I LOVE. WE

[00:20:04]

HAVE THE VIDEO FOOTAGE THAT SHOWS IN-CAB OUT. CAB GET CLEAR PICTURE SHOWS THE THE SPEED LIMIT AND THE SPEED OF THE TRUCK, AND ALSO THE ABILITY TO TAP INTO ADDITIONAL CAMERAS. SO IF WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT WENT INTO THE HOPPER, WHAT THE DORM GRAB, I'M SORRY GIVES THAT ABILITY TO TO TAP INTO THOSE ADDITIONAL CAMERAS. ALSO, AND THIS IS JUST A BREAKDOWN. WHAT IS A TRAILER A VEHICLE, THE CAMERA, THE MULTI-CAMERA JUST GIVES THE BREAKDOWN PER YEAR OF OF EACH TRACTOR OR CAMERA. AND THE TOTAL FOR THE THE YEAR ONE WILL BE $331,060. SO THIS IS A LITTLE QUICK QUICK BREAKDOWN. ANY ANY QUESTIONS. ANY QUESTIONS FOR LEROY. SO LEROY EACH DEPARTMENT HEAD WILL HAVE THEIR OWN LITTLE MODULE TO TRACK ALL THE VEHICLES THAT ARE UNDER THEM. YES, IT'S A ONLINE SYSTEM. SO EVERYBODY GETS A LOGIN. AND ONCE YOU LOG IN YOU CAN SEE YOUR DEPARTMENT VEHICLES, YOU KNOW, IN THE SYSTEM. AND IT DOES TRACK SPEED.

IT DOES TRACK SPEED. SO YOU COULD SLIP ONE UNDER THE MAYOR'S CARD. AND. I DON'T THINK SO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LEROY. THIS IS FIVE YEAR CONTRACT RIGHT. IT'S A FIVE YEAR. SO IT'S A TWO YEAR. BUT IT HAS THREE ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR RENEWALS. SO A TOTAL OF FIVE. THAT'S GOOD. AND IT STAYS THE SAME RATE. THERE'S NO INFLATION. NO IT ACTUALLY GO DOWN. THE FIRST YEAR WE GOT ABOUT $4,000 OF FREIGHT. BUT THE NEXT YEAR IS THAT 4000 COMES OUT. SO IT GOES TO LIKE THREE 2326 FOR THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS. IF THERE'S A FAULT IN ANY OF THE COMPONENTS, ARE THEY WARRANTED OR ABSOLUTELY SO, THEY REPLACE THEM WITH NO CHARGE. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE MOVE TO APPROVE HIM FOR SECOND, GET A MOTION BY WIN. SECOND BY NICHOLS. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES FIVE.

[M-5 Request that the City Council consider authorizing the City Manager to award River North LLC (Via) as the primary vendor for any passenger trips provided for Tyler Transit.]

SO IN FIVE. THIS IS. WE'D LIKE TO REQUEST THAT THE CITY COUNCIL CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AWARD RIVER NORTH, LLC VIA AS THE PRIMARY VENDOR FOR PASSENGER TRIPS PROVIDED BY TYLER TRANSIT. AND JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY HERE, INDIAN J WAS THE PREVIOUS VENDOR. THEY WERE PURCHASED BY ACOG JANUARY OF 25. THEY WERE DOING ABOUT 25,000 TRIPS TO ASSIST US. ABOUT NINE 9000 SERVICE HOURS. AND TYLER TRANSIT. WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD.

LET'S PUT A BID OUT AND LET'S SEE WHAT YOU KNOW. WHAT FEEDBACK WE WOULD GET VIA WAS THE ONLY RESPONSE. THEY SUBMITTED TWO RESPONSES AND THE BID PACKAGE. OPTION ONE IS CALLED A NON-DEDICATED FLEET MODEL, AND THIS MODEL UTILIZES DRIVER OWNED VEHICLES. THE THE BYOB. AND IT'S SIMILAR TO UBER LYFT. THE DIFFERENCE IS THEY'RE COMPLIANT WITH DRUG AND ALCOHOL AND THEY'RE FTA COMPLIANT. SO THIS MODEL THE PRICING WAS 4980 PER HOUR OR 2666 PER TRIP WITH A 550 CAMERA UPFIT COST, WHICH WE WANTED THE CAMERA. JUST WHEN WE HAVE INCIDENTS, HAVING THAT CAMERA FOOTAGE IT IT'S WORTH THE MONEY. OPTION TWO WAS TO UTILIZE A DEDICATED FLEET, WHICH IN THIS MODEL, THOSE THOSE VEHICLES WILL BE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE, WHICH IN MODEL ONE THE OPTION ONE THEY ARE NOT. AND THIS COST IS 8509 PER HOUR. WITH THE 550 UP FRONT CAMERA COST. SO OF COURSE WE SELECTED OPTION ONE THAT HAS THE GREATEST COST SAVING POTENTIAL AND THE HIGHEST EFFICIENCIES. AND IT'S A THREE YEAR SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH FOR ONE YEAR RENEWALS. THE AGREEMENT ALSO HAS A DO NOT EXCEED 500,000 UNLESS WE BOTH AGREE TO EXCEED IT. AND JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. SO LOCAL MATCH YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE 2122 LOCAL MATCH BECAUSE OF CARES AND THE MONEY WE GOT FOR COVID, WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANY LOCAL MATCH. BUT OF COURSE ONCE THAT MONEY RAN OUT, THE LOCAL MATCHES SLOWLY TRICKLING UP, WHICH LAST YEAR WE HIT 1.1 AND I GO WITH TRYING TO GET BACK UNDER A MILLION. SO PROJECTS LIKE THIS ARE REALLY HELP US. ALSO, THE THE LEARNING CURVE IS REAL. WE WE DID MICRO TRANSIT TO HELP REDUCE COST. YOU COULD DEFINITELY SEE THAT THE RIDERSHIP WHEN WE STARTED IN JANUARY, IT DEFINITELY DROPPED. AND ONE THING WE FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT JULY, AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER, THE RIDERSHIP IS STARTING TO CLIMB BACK UP. SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

[00:25:06]

PEOPLE ARE LEARNING THE SYSTEM AND THEY'RE RIDING, SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE THOSE NUMBERS START CLIMBING, CLIMBING BACK UP PARATRANSIT REALLY STAYS PRETTY CONSISTENT, ABOUT 4 TO 5000 PER MONTH. SO THAT LINE IS IS FLAT. IT'S REALLY CONSISTENT. AND HERE'S JUST A QUICK ANALYSIS. SO INDIAN J WAS $33 A TRIP FOR 25,000 TRIPS A YEAR. WE WERE PAYING ABOUT 800,000 FOR THAT AGREEMENT PER YEAR VIA THE BID IS 2666 PER TRIP. THAT WOULD BE AN INSTANT SAVINGS OF 158,500. BUT THAT'S NOT THE MODEL WE SELECTED. WE SELECTED THE HOURLY. WE LIKE TO LOOK AT THE 4980 PER HOUR BASED ON 9000 HOURS, AND WE'VE GOT THE POTENTIAL TO SAVE 376,000. SO THAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF. SO THE 4980 THAT'S JUST PER HOUR. THERE'S NOT A COST PER TRIP. THAT IS CORRECT. SO DOES THAT MEAN THE EDITOR THAT BOUGHT OUT THE END VEHICLES WILL NO LONGER BE USING THOSE. SO GOOD QUESTION. WE HAVE THEM STILL AS A BACKUP BECAUSE AGAIN OPTION ONE DOES NOT DO WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE VEHICLES. SO IF WE EVER GET IN A TIGHT WHERE WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WHEELCHAIR TRIPS, THE LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND OR ONE OF OUR PARTNERS, WE STILL CAN UTILIZE THAT CAR FOR THOSE TRIPS. OKAY. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING. YEAH, THAT'S MY THAT'S MY QUESTION. WITH THAT OPTION. SO THEN THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PREVIOUS VENDOR AND THE ONE WE'RE APPROVING TODAY IS THESE ARE GOING TO THE CELL PHONE VEHICLES LIKE LYFT AND UBER. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. THAT'S THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE. WE'RE GOING TO CALL THEM RIDESHARE. BUT WE'RE USING PASSENGER VEHICLES TO PROVIDE THOSE TRIPS. SO ARE PEOPLE GETTING USED TO THE MICROTRANSIT? I THINK THAT'S WHAT THAT I'M I'M REAL HAPPY WITH THAT RIDERSHIP NUMBER BECAUSE SEEING RIDERSHIP START TO GO BACK UP, THAT TELLS ME THAT PEOPLE ARE ARE RIDING AND WE'D LIKE TO SEE THAT NUMBER CONTINUE TO CLIMB. YOU KNOW, WE'D LIKE TO GET BACK TO THOSE OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER NUMBERS SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE BACK WHERE WE WERE BEFORE WE WE IMPLEMENTED IS THE EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT FOR THE WAIT TIMES. BECAUSE I DID A TRIP IN THAT WAS BACK IN LATE SUMMER, AND THE WAIT TIMES WERE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AT THAT TIME. GOOD QUESTION. SO OUR AVERAGE WAIT TIME RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT 20 MINUTES, 15, 20 MINUTES. AND THAT'S WAIT. AND THEN YOU STILL GOT 15 20 MINUTES FOR THE RIDE. SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE HITTING ABOUT 40 MINUTES ON AVERAGE. AND AND RIDERS THAT SEEING THAT TRICKLE UP THE RIDERS THAT REALLY LEARN THE SYSTEM IF THEY ARE WITHIN THEIR ZONE REALLY I MEAN UNDER AN HOUR THEY'RE GETTING WHERE THEY NEED TO GET IS THE ONES THAT KIND OF GO FROM NORTH TO SOUTH OF THEIR CROSSING ZONES. IT'S NOT ONE TRIP, IT'S TWO TRIPS. SO THAT'S WHERE SOMETIMES YOUR WAIT TIMES AND RIDE TIMES CAN BE ALMOST DOUBLE BECAUSE IT'S TWO TRIPS, HAVE ALL THE HICCUPS WITH THE APP KIND OF SETTLED DOWN. ABSOLUTELY. SO THE APP, IT WORKS PRETTY GOOD. WE'VE GOT ABOUT 40% OF THOSE 12,000 RIDES THAT USE THE APP, 60% ARE STILL CALLING. BUT THE APP WORKS GREAT AND THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO USE BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE VEHICLE, YOU CAN TRACK THE VEHICLE. YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'S TAKING. I MEAN, YOU CAN SEE IT ALL IN REAL TIME. SO WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE APP.

WANT TO KEEP PUSHING THE APP AND IT'S WORKING FINE. WE HAD THAT AMAZON DAY WHERE THE INTERNET KIND OF TANKED. YOU KNOW DAYS LIKE THAT, THE APP DOESN'T WORK, BUT WE'VE GOT PROCEDURES IN PLACE WHERE WE STILL, YOU KNOW, GO OUT AND GET THE THE PASSENGERS, THE BUSSES KIND OF JUST GO BACK AND START CIRCLING THROUGH AND PICKING UP THE PASSENGERS. SO IS THERE A WAY TO TRACK, SAY, I GET ON THE APP AND I REQUEST A RIDE? IS THERE A WAY TO TRACK MY REQUEST AND HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR A VEHICLE TO GET THERE? OH, ABSOLUTELY. SO STAFF, THAT'S WHY THEY LOVE ON DEMAND AND VIA. WE CAN TRACK WHEN YOU BOOKED IT WHEN THE VEHICLE ARRIVED, HOW LONG YOU WERE ON THE VEHICLE. WHAT STOP WHERE YOU WENT. SO THE DATA FROM AN ON DEMAND SYSTEM WE HAVE ALL OF THE DATA AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT. WE KNOW THAT. AND THEY CAN LOOK AND SEE. AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'VE GOT TO WATCH IT OKAY. WE'RE IN THE RED. TRIPS ARE TAKING OVER 40 MINUTES. SO WE CAN EASILY PUT ANOTHER VEHICLE TO HELP PUSH THOSE TIMES BACK DOWN. BUT THE DATA WE GET FROM THE VR SYSTEM IS AMAZING. YEAH. AND I LIKE TO ON THE APP YOU

[00:30:03]

CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE RIDER CAN SEE WHERE THEIR RIDE IS. AND THAT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR LEROY. MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND GOT A MOTION BY NICHOLAS. SECOND BY WINN. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. THANKS.

[CITY MANAGER'S REPORT]

DIFFERENT ITEMS OF NOTE. ON THE NIGHT OF THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30TH, WE HAD A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT AT THE INTERSECTION OF OLD BRIDGE ROAD AND RICE ROAD THAT CAUSED A POWER OUTAGE THAT DISABLED THE MAIN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS BACK IN THE OLD DAYS, THE OLD DAYS BEING LAST YEAR, WE WOULD HAVE THEN HAD TO HAVE CALLED A STAFF PERSON TO GO OUT THERE TO BRING A GENERATOR TO POWER THE THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL IN ORDER FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL TO BE OPERATIONAL AGAIN. BUT BECAUSE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE THROUGH OUR INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN THAT'S BEEN FUNDED THROUGH THE SALES TAX FUND, WE HAD THE NEWLY INSTALLED BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEMS IN THE TRAFFIC CABINET, WHICH WERE ACTIVATED IMMEDIATELY AND ALLOWED THE SIGNALS TO CONTINUE OPERATING WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. SO THAT WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE POLICE OFFICER FROM HAVING TO CALL TO DIRECT TRAFFIC FROM US, HAVING TO GO GET A BACKUP BATTERY TO GO PUT THEIR GENERATOR THERE. AND SO WE WERE VERY PROUD OF KIND OF SEEING THAT IN ACTION AND MAKING SURE THAT THAT WORKED. IT GOT COLD. IT'S GETTING HOT AGAIN, BUT WE THINK IT WILL GET COLD AGAIN. AND THE TYLER PUBLIC LIBRARY AND TYLER ANIMAL CONTROL ARE TEAMING UP FOR THIS MONTH, IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER, TO COLLECT AS MANY BLANKETS AS POSSIBLE AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR FURRY FRIENDS AT THE SHELTER STAY WARM IN THE WEATHER. THAT AS IT GETS COOLER. AND SO IF YOU HAVE BLANKETS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO DONATE, WE ARE ABLE TO. WE'RE TAKING THOSE AT THE TYLER PUBLIC LIBRARY TO BE ABLE TO USE AT OUR ANIMAL SHELTER. AND WITH THOSE PEOPLE IN NEED WHO MIGHT NEED BLANKETS FOR THEIR DOGS OR CATS. AND THEN FINALLY, WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE INSTALLATION OF A PERMANENT PROGRAMABLE LIGHTING THAT HAS BEGUN AT THE TYLER MUNICIPAL ROSE GARDEN. WE HAD THE BIG REVEAL PLANNED FOR THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4TH AFTER THE CHRISTMAS ROTARY CHRISTMAS PARADE AND WITH THE TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY, AS THE GARDEN WILL ALSO BE OPEN FROM 5:00 TO 8:00 PM THROUGHOUT DECEMBER FOR FESTIVE FAMILY EVENING STROLLS AND PLENTY OF PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES, GO AHEAD. YEAH, ANY COMMENTS OR ANYTHING FOR ADA BEFORE WE MOVE ON? OKAY.

BEFORE WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION. BUT ONE THING I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT FOR THIS, WHICH IS OUT OF THE BLUE, YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY NICE TO LOOK OUT THERE AND SEE PEOPLE THAT WE DON'T NORMALLY SEE AT A COUNCIL MEETING. AND I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE AND IT DOESN'T MATTER. BUT LIKE THE YOUNG MEN BACK THERE, I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE, BUT I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE. SO I GUESS YOU CAME HERE TO SEE GOOD GOVERNMENT AT WORK OR WHATEVER THE REASON. YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME ANYTIME. SO I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT BEFORE WE ADJOURN HERE FOR OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION TO THANK THE CITY OF TYLER FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR THAT GREAT CELEBRATION FOR OUR VETERANS YESTERDAY. GREAT JOB BY ALL.
