Increase Project Costs
Regional Planning Target-funded phases

4. Proposed Council Resolution 24-13 (Amending the FFYs 2023-2027 TIP by Combining the Replace 40-ft buses (FFY 23) and the Replace 40-ft buses (FFY 24) projects 
(TIP # T23-06-MN1, PIN 482316) – RGRTA 
(TIP # T23-07-MN1, PIN 482317) – RGRTA

Combine the Replace 40-ft buses (FFY 23) project (TIP # T23-06-MN1, PIN 482316) and the Replace 40-ft buses (FFY 24) project (TIP # T23-07-MN1, PIN 482317); 
Increase the Combined Total Cost from $3,148,300 ($2,518,700 Federal) to $21,999,697 ($5,570,564 Federal);
Increase a FFY 2024 Combined Other phase from $3,148,300 ($2,518,700 Federal) to $21,999,697 ($5,570,564 Federal);
Delete the Replace 40-ft buses (FFY 23) project.

The sources of Federal funds programmed are the FTA Section 5307 and 5339 programs. This change is combining PINs 482316 and 482317 under one project (482317). RGRTA decided not to place any orders for 40-ft. buses in FY 2023 due to significant price increases and the manufacturer under contract, Nova Bus, ceasing operations in North America. Therefore, RGRTA is requesting that the buses programmed for purchase in 2023 be added to those programmed in 2024. In addition, revisions to the bus replacement plan have increased the number of buses programmed for FY 2024 from 25 to 28. As part of this change, PIN 482316 will be removed from the TIP. The combined value of the Federal share is being considerably reduced to address other needs as addressed in proposed Resolutions 24-15 through 24-20.

5. Proposed Council Resolution 24-14 (Amending the FFYs 2023-2027 TIP by Increasing the Total Cost of the Rt 332 Corridor High Visibility Signal Enhancements project)
(TIP # H23-61-ON1, PIN 433209) – NYSDOT

Increase the Total Cost from $4,706,100 ($4,235,500 Federal) to $5,625,800 ($5,063,650 Federal);
Increase a FFY 2024 Construction phase from $3,628,400 ($3,265,560 Federal) to $4,465,000 ($4,018,500 Federal);
Increase a FFY 2024 Construction Inspection phase from $362,900 ($326,610 Federal) to $446,000 ($401,850 Federal).

The source of Federal funds programmed is the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The Construction and Construction Inspection phase costs are being increased to match the most recent available estimates. The increased cost estimate reflects recent bid prices (primarily for signal poles and other signal-related items) and to address project impacts on the pedestrian network beyond what was originally anticipated.

6. Proposed Council Resolution 24-15 (Amending the FFYs 2023-2027 TIP by Increasing the Total Cost of the Replace Paratransit Buses – (FFY 2024) project)
(TIP # T23-15-MN1, PIN 482325) – RGRTA

Increase the Total Cost from $1,049,100 ($839,300 Federal) to $1,580,580 ($1,264,464 Federal);
Increase a FFY 2024 Other phase from $1,049,100 ($839,300 Federal) to $1,580,580 ($1,264,464 Federal).

The source of Federal funds programmed is the FTA Section 5307 program. This change is to reflect significant price increases that resulted in a prior order needing to be lowered by two buses.

7. Proposed Council Resolution 24-16 (Amending the FFYs 2023-2027 TIP by Increasing the Total Cost of the Preventive Maintenance – RTS & RTS Access (FFY 2024) project)
(TIP # T23-02-MN1, PIN 482312) – RGRTA

Increase a FFY 2024 Other phase from $8,296,700 ($6,637,300 Federal) to $15,763,109 ($12,610,487 Federal).

The source of Federal funds programmed is the FTA Section 5307 program. This adjustment will align the project with RGRTA’s revised capital plan.

8. Proposed Council Resolution 24-17 (Amending the FFYs 2023-2027 TIP by Increasing the Total Cost of the Operations Building Improvements project)
(TIP # T23-27-MN1, PIN 476143) – RGRTA

Increase the Total Cost from $1,557,100 ($1,245,700 Federal) to $5,999,901 ($4,799,941 Federal);
Increase a FFY 2024 Other phase from $1,557,100 ($1,245,700 Federal) to $5,999,901 ($4,799,941 Federal).

9. Proposed Council Resolution 24-18 (Amending the FFYs 2023-2027 TIP by Reinstating  of the Connection Hubs – Phase II project)
(TIP # T20-34-MN1, PIN 482310) – RGRTA

Reinstate a project with a Total Cost of $1,302,290 ($1,041,832 Federal);
Add a FFY 2024 Supplemental Other phase of $1,302,290 ($1,041,832 Federal).

The source of Prior Year Federal funds is the FTA Section 5307 Program. The source of additional Federal funds is the FTA Section 5307 Program.

10. Proposed Council Resolution 24-19 (Amending the FFYs 2023-2027 TIP by Adding the Replace 10 On Demand Vehicles (FY 24) project)
(TIP # T24-01-MN1, PIN 482350) – RGRTA

Add a new project with a Total Cost of $1,317,149 ($1,041,832 Federal);
Add an Other phase of $1,317,149 ($1,041,832 Federal).

The source of Federal funds programmed is the FTA Section 5307 Program. This project will enable RGRTA to purchase 10 On Demand vehicles to align with the On Demand Fleet Replacement Plan.

11. Proposed Council Resolution 24-20 (Amending the FFYs 2023-2027 TIP by Adding the Sprinkler Water Main Replacement project)
(TIP # T24-02-MN1, PIN 482351) – RGRTA

Add a new project with a Total Cost of $500,000 ($400,000 Federal);
Add an Other phase of $500,000 ($400,000 Federal).

The source of Federal funds programmed is the FTA Section 5307 Program. This project will enable the water main serving the fire suppression system for RGRTA’s Operations Building to be replaced. A similar aged water main for potable water recently failed, and this project will allow RGRTA to ensure the fire suppression system does not fail.

Regional Planning Target and Main Office-funded phases

12. Proposed Council Resolution 24-21 (Amending the FFYs 223-2027 TIP by Increasing the Total Cost of the I-590 Bridges over Rt 31 and Allens Creek Rd project)
(TIP # B20-21-MN1, PIN 459004) – NYSDOT

Increase the Total Cost from $54,973,000 ($25,562,800 Federal) to $58,933,008 ($22,680,800 Federal);
Increase a FFY 2024 Construction phase from $46,700,000 ($19,332,000 Federal) to $50,300,008 ($19,438,000 Federal);
Increase a FFY 2024 Construction Inspection phase from $4,670,000 ($2,952,000 Federal) to $5,030,000 ($0 Federal).

The sources of Federal funds programmed is the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) and the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). This request is to increase the programmed funding for the Construction and Construction Inspection phases to the most recent available estimates. 

The increased estimate reflects an increased project scope required by a new NYSDOT Main Office Engineering Instruction related to grooved-in pavement markings. NYSDOT Main Office has provided funds to cover this increased scope. Additional increases will address a non-standard feature that was envisioned to be retained during project scoping but not approved. The new estimate reflects recent bid prices. In addition, this request will consolidate all federal aid onto the Construction phase, with the Non-Participating Share on the Construction and Construction Inspection phases to reduce the complexity of project accounting. 

FFY 2024 funding from the three removed Job Order Contract (JOC) projects (PINs 4T45.24, 4T50.24, 4T55.24) as well as the Main Office grooved-in funds are proposed to help offset this increase. The balance will be covered by expanding the state’s Non-Participating Share.

13. Proposed Council Resolution 24-22 (Amending the FFYs 223-2027 TIP by increasing the Total Cost of the NYSDOT Pavement Markings (FFY 2025) Eastside project
(TIP # H20-41-R43, PIN 4T3522) – NYSDOT

Increase the Total Cost from $2,408,400 ($1,190,400 Federal) to $7,133,600 ($3,414,600 Federal).
Increase a FFY 2024 Construction phase from $2,070,000 ($1,035,000 Federal) to $6,628,000 ($3,179,000 Federal);
Increase a FFY 2024 Construction Inspection phase from $310,000 ($155,000 Federal) to $478,000 ($235,600 Federal);
Change the Project Description from “Replace and modify pavement markings for safety or operational reasons in Monroe, Ontario, and Wayne Counties” to “Replace and modify pavement and grooved-in markings for safety or operational reasons in Monroe, Ontario, and Wayne Counties.”

The source of programmed Federal funds is the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP). The source of additional Federal funds is the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), managed by NYSDOT-Main Office. There is no impact to Planning Target funds from this request. 

The increased cost estimates reflect an increased scope, mandated by a new NYSDOT Main Office requirement related to grooved-in pavement markings (same as PIN 4590.04), and recent bid prices. This request includes a change to the project description to specify “grooved-in markings” in the description.
