Improvements Plan ‐ Project Summaries CAD/AVL ITS System Replacement ‐ $5,420,000 HART needs to replace the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology on the fleet. Currently, the Orbital Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), OrbCAD/AVL system, hereafter referred to as (CAD/AVL) is used to support day‐to‐day bus operations, including OneBusAway, regional fare collection efforts, and cellular/Wi‐Fi technologies. The CAD/AVL system at HART was first installed in 2007. Spare parts for many components are no longer available except from used sources and all of the hardware components will reach the end of useful life in 2019. The CAD/AVL system allows "closed microphone" communication channels between the vehicle and central dispatch to ensure privacy. In addition to this feature, the CAD/AVL system tracks the vehicle location in real time, records the vehicle routes, monitors vehicle health, provides an emergency alarm, displays the correct route on bus reader board signs, counts the passengers, has in‐vehicle security cameras, provides ADA in‐vehicle annunciations, and feeds real‐time arrival information to OneBusAway and Google for each vehicle that is part of the CAD/AVL system. In 2018, HART will be fully deploying Flamingo, the regional fare collection solution. It is extremely critical that the CAD/AVL system is stable in order to collect fares in operations, which could result in loss of revenue. The CAD/AVL system at HART is the core of day‐to‐day operations for all bus, van, and streetcar operations. The risk of a CAD/AVL system failure would directly impact day‐to‐day operations and cause associated applications such as OneBusAway and the regional fare collection systems to fail or be highly impacted. The reliability of the mobile surveillance system on our fleet has degraded and is no longer supported, while the need to review video surveillance has increased. Additionally, the quality of ADA announcements has been hindered by limitations of the obsolete annunciation system. The current CAD/AVL system no longer meets the needs and requirements for HART operations, security and cybersecurity, nor in providing the best customer service while taking people to places that enhance their lives. HM Building Renovation ‐ $5,340,348 The current Heavy Maintenance (HM) facility located at HART'S 21st Ave location, is almost 40 years old and no longer serves the functional requirements of HART. The facility no longer meets current building code requirements for wind loading, accessibility, mechanical and ventilation, and other structural elements essential for building support. Several of the bus inspection pits have been closed due to environmental reasons and the structure is such that very significant upgrades would be required just to add additional mechanical equipment. Additionally, the entire roof is in need or replacing. Taken together, the cost to upgrade the facility is greater than replacing it with a new facility. This new direction would support the design and construction of a new facility and provide HART with a 40 year building life to maintain its fleet operations. Currently the Design portion of this undertaking is fully funded.

CNG Bus Replacements (10) ‐ $5,290,981 In order to support HART operations, ten (10) forty‐foot Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powered heavy duty transit buses are required to replace vehicles that have outlived their useful life (12 years). The replacements are necessary to support fixed route service and to provide a reliable fleet. The purchase is funded by Federal Transit Administration Surface Transportation Block Grant Program and Section 5339 Bus and Bus Facilities discretionary funds. All prices were determined fair and reasonable and a contract was awarded by LYNX on December 12, 2013, to Gillig LLC. Tampa Arterial Corridor (BRT) Study ‐ $2,500,000 The Tampa Arterial Bus Rapid Transit Study (BRT) will evaluate the Florida, Nebraska, and Fowler corridors between the USF and Downtown Tampa areas. This study will evaluate the needs and potential for improved safety, connectivity, and operational improvements in these corridors with the goal of developing short‐term and long‐term BRT improvements. The study is comprised of 6 phases from Planning and Design through more than 75% Engineering. At 30% Engineering (the third phase), HART will have the option of entering into the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) small starts application process. HART is intending to select and present a final contract for approval at the November 2018 board meeting and for work on this project to begin prior to the calendar year's end. Streetcar Vehicle Maintenance ‐ $2,178,234
In order to support HART operations and maintain a state of good repair of the streetcar fleet, up to
three streetcars will be sent to a contract shop for overhaul and updating of systems. The remainder of
the fleet will receive upgrades performed by HART staff. The updates will include new air conditioners,
new air compressors, rebuilt trucks and propulsion equipment as well as interior and exterior
refurbishment.
Diesel Bus Replacements (8) ‐ $1,428,195 In July 2018, Sarasota County made available six 2011 forty‐foot diesel Gillig buses and two 2012 forty‐foot diesel Gillig buses for acquisition as a result of reduction in their bus fleet. In accordance with the HART fleet plan, up to eight buses are required. Six 2011 model transit buses still have five years of useful life and two 2012 model transit buses have six years of useful life still available. HART conducted a maintenance inspection of each of the vehicles. Vehicles are equipped with the Gillig BRT package, high back cloth seats, and overhead luggage racks. The transit buses are in excellent condition. HART will assume FTA interest in the amount of $230,812.89.
Regional Revenue Collection Flamingo ‐ $1,295,816
Flamingo Fares is a new payment system for the Tampa region, simplifying transit use. It allows a rider
to pay using a re‐loadable smart card or smartphone app, across 5 participating transit agencies
including: Hernando (The Bus), Hillsborough (HART), Pasco (PCPT), Pinellas (PSTA/Jolley Trolley), and
Sarasota (SCAT).

IT Hardware and Software Upgrades (11 projects) ‐ $1,105,029
1. Demilitarized zone (DMZ) Server Environment ‐ Security Requirement: A DMZ (sometimes referred
to as a perimeter network) is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an
organization's external‐facing services to an untrusted network, usually a larger network such as the
Internet. This server hardware will support the following projects: a. Work Place Mobility
(Requisitions approval via your phone), b. External facing applications (gohart.org website, Street Car
Website, Cisco Jabber (Expressways) and HART’s FTP site), c. Any new applications requiring external
access.
2. Security Software: (3 Year Support and Maintenance) Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a next‐
generation identity and access control policy platform that enables HART’s Technology Infrastructure
Division (TID) to enforce compliance and enhance infrastructure security. Cisco ISE allows HART’s
enterprise to gather real‐time contextual information from networks, users, and devices.
3. Universal Serial Bus (USB) Secure Devices: This is to satisfy a TID audit finding, the overriding goal of
this new hardware policy is to protect the integrity of the private and confidential data that resides
within HART’s technology infrastructure. This policy intends to prevent this data from being
deliberately or inadvertently moved outside the agency network and/or the physical premises where
it can potentially be accessed by unsanctioned resources. A breach of this type could result in loss of
information, damage to critical applications, loss of revenue, and damage to HART’s public image.
4. Internet Router Replacement for HART'S 21st Ave location: This would replace our existing End of
Life (EOL) internet routers and give us hardware redundancy if one device fails in the future.
5. Internet Router Replacement for HART'S 7th Ave YBOR location: This would replace our existing End
of Life (EOL) internet routers and give us hardware redundancy if one device fails in the future at our
YBOR location.
6. Core Distribution Layer for the 21st Ave location: This would replace our End of Life Local Area
Network (LAN) based routers and layer 3 switches. This layer ensures that packets are properly
routed between subnets and Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) in your enterprise.
7. Core Distribution Layer for YBOR location: This would replace our End of Life LAN‐based routers and
layer 3 switches. This layer ensures that packets are properly routed between subnets and VLANs in
your enterprise.
8. Wide Area Network (WAN) routers for 21st Ave and YBOR locations: This would replace our End of
Life wide area network (WAN) are called border routers at our 21st Ave and YBOR locations.
9. Access Switches at our 21st Ave location: This would replace our End of Life access layer is responsible
for providing end user devices with a connection to network resources. This layer is sometimes
referred to as the desktop layer, because it focuses on connecting client nodes to the network.
10. Access Switches at our YBOR location: This would replace our End of Life access layer is responsible for providing end user devices with a connection to network resources. This layer is sometimes
referred to as the desktop layer, because it focuses on connecting client nodes to the network.
11. Industry Safe Software: This software supports Short Message Service (SMS) implementation at
HART including safety assurance, data analysis, audit, inspection, hazard management, and
accident/incident collection. It will provide greater efficiency and productivity while meeting new
FTA SMS requirement.

Paratransit Van Replacements (15) ‐ $1,047,234 In order to support HART operations, fifteen (15) 23foot Paratransit cutaway vans with mobility lifts are required to replace vehicles that have outlived their useful life (5 years). The replacements are necessary to support paratransit service and provide a reliable fleet. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Transit Research Inspection and Procurement Services(TRIPS), conducted a procurement to establish to a statewide purchasing agreement for transit agencies in Florida, including HART, in accordance with the public procurement policies and procedures. Autonomous Vehicle Pilot ‐ $990,000 In early 2016, the City of Tampa with as many as 40 letters of support from major public and private institutions, submitted an application for the U.S. DOT Smart Cities Initiative. The application included provisions for a downtown Autonomous Mobility Service. HART has taken the lead to identify, operate, and deploy this service to connect parking and transit while demonstrating safety through the use of autonomous and connected vehicle technology. Streetcar ROW Infrastructure Upgrades ‐ $880,006 HART will be replacing wood cross ties on the ballasted track sections of the streetcar line, to keep up with the demands of the extended service. This work is necessary due to drainage issues that have shortened the life of the wood ties in these sections. The City of Tampa is correcting the drainage problems, and replacing the cross ties which will allow for 20 years of service in these sections. Security Surveillance ‐ Paratransit Vehicles ‐ $862,000
In order to improve security for HART paratransit riders, this project will install mobile security cameras throughout the entire HARTPlus fleet. The installation of the mobile camera system will also provide options for automatic download as vehicles are entering the bus yard thus improving efficiency in video retrieval. This project will also assist in security claim mitigation with the addition of video footage as well as audio in the entire paratransit fleet E Bus Stops and Shelters ‐ $815,564
This program is for the improvement of bus stops and of transit facilities to ADA compliance for new and existing service at various locations. As well as to provide accessible means to and from the bus stops, including sidewalks, benches, trash cans, lighting, bike racks and other passenger amenities.

Engine and Transmission Replacements ‐ $701,132 HART’s maintenance department will be replacing the remaining engines and transmissions on the 2009 and 2010 Gillig bus fleets to keep up with the demands and service requirements that HART provides. Midlife replacements are suggested between 250,00 and 350,000 miles or seven years. The current 2009 and 2010 buses have a useful life of 12 years. Currently the 2009 fleet has an average of 487,500 miles and the 2010 fleet has an average of 431,000 miles. Marion Transit Center Infrastructure Improvements ‐ $678,300
The pavement surrounding three sides of the Marion Transit Center are in need of repair and replacement. Laurel Street was repaired in 2014 due to curb, asphalt and concrete degradation. The repair was curb to curb and full concrete street replacement, this has been extremely effective. Morgan Street has substantial pavement issues especially surrounding a City of Tampa stormwater vault which has movement when buses transverse it. Marion and Fortune streets are showing signs of pavement cracking lifting in various sections. Curb to Curb restoration is the best method of repair. Bus Seat Safety Improvements ‐ $611,410 In the interest of the safety of our patrons, HART will be retrofitting a barrier deficiency of the ADA seating configuration on the 2009‐2013 bus fleets, which includes 85 Gillig buses out of the 172. It was determined that current seat configuration on 2009‐2013 Gillig buses could be a safety and risk issue. The first two rows of forward facing seats do not have a barrier that prevents patrons from being projected out of their seats during sudden emergency stops. The mitigation of potential injuries and claims requires that the first two rows of forward facing seats be eliminated and replaced with a three seat perimeter seating assembly and adding a half wall barrier with a pole. Transit Asset Management (TAM) Software ‐ $500,000 In 2012, the U.S. Department of Transportation identified an $89.8 billion State of Good Repair (SGR) backlog for the transportation industry nationally. In response to this finding, it mandated the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to develop a rule requiring transit agencies to create and maintain a Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan. On July 26, 2016, the FTA published its Transit Asset Management Final Rule (49 CFR Part 625) requiring federal formula grant recipients to develop a TAM Plan detailing their ongoing asset management planning process and providing accountability through annual reporting to the National Transit Database (NTD). HART certified its TAM Plan to the FTA on September 30, 2018. HART currently manages its assets through different systems and databases. Purchasing an integrated system will help HART more effectively and efficiently procure, record, operate, inspect, maintain, rehabilitate, and replace transit capital assets. Staff will be better able to manage asset performance, risks, and costs over their lifecycles, for the purpose of providing safe and reliable public transportation, as well as prioritize and allocate funding where it is needed the most.

Security Surveillance System ‐ $302,924 HART has completed the first phase of the Security Surveillance System. This second phase includes security camera installation throughout the Marion Transit Center and University Area Transit Center. The installation of the cameras will provide additional security for HART ridership and the Tampa community. Over half of all HART daily ridership passes through the Marion Transit Center and University Area Transit Center. The enhanced security infrastructure assists with coordination between HART, law enforcement and contract security.
Bus Stop Study ‐ $250,000 A Bus Stop Study was conducted in 2008 by Tindale‐Oliver and HART staff inventorying conditions at bus stops and facilities and developing a plan to improve accessibility, security and passenger amenities throughout HART’s system. The study was initiated in response to HART Board’s request for a plan to bring bus stops throughout the system into compliance with accessibility requirements. At the time, there were approximate 4,500 bus stops and 18 park and rides. Due to Mission Max, all of the bus stop improvements and stop consolidation over the last ten years, a new inventory and assessment is needed.
21st Ave. Administration Facility Air Conditioner Rehab ‐ $165,000 The Chiller for the 21st Ave HART’s Administration Building is past its useful life; an air cooled chiller has a typical life span of 12 years. The current chiller was installed in the year 2000 and has had several major failures. The cost of these failures are thousands of dollars. This chiller currently cools approximately 50% of the Administration Building. A catastrophic failure of this piece of equipment will cause major problems during the summer. A new chiller will provide cooling with minimal chance of breakdown. The new chiller will be environmentally friendly by using a Non‐CFC refrigerant. A new chiller will also run more efficiently and will reduce electric costs by nearly $12,000.00 per year. TECO offers a replacement Chiller Program which will increase incentives to $175 per KW for replacing inefficient cooling equipment with higher efficiency equipment. The two air handlers that supply air to 50% of the administration building are in need of replacement. We have not many repair issues with the air handlers, but they are past their useful life. The replacements could be deferred for a year or so, but they are past their useful life. One of the most important building systems for a commercial building are the cooling components.
Streetcar Facility Door Upgrade ‐ $165,000 The current track and access configuration at the HART’s YBOR 7th Avenue location is unable to house all of the Street Cars during a storm event. Track 5 currently has a standard opening and roll down door that cannot accommodate a streetcar, the goal of this project is to increase the opening and place a new vehicle door.
Operator Breakroom Northwest ‐ $100,000 This project will provide an operator breakroom, addition to the existing layout of the Northwest Transfer Center located at Waters Ave and Sheldon road. This addition will provide operators a room to rest and be able to have meals out of the public’s view.
