of Good Repair program, for eligible projects that extend the utility and useful lives of existing
transit assets such as stations, administration and operations centers, maintenance facilities, etc;
and,
WHEREAS, the existing facility that Petaluma Transit operates from was originally
designed for a different use, and lacks requisite features to enable efficient transit operations,
particularly in the maintenance area, where the modern Petaluma Transit fleet cannot be worked
on inside the bays due to low roof clearances; and,
WHEREAS, the State of Good Repair grant was awarded in the amount of $600,000 in
federal funding to complete the planning and design, as well as construction of the Phase One
improvements to the maintenance building; and
WHEREAS, TDA funds allocated annually from the Local Transportation Fund of
Sonoma County to the City of Petaluma to support transit operations and various transit capital
projects will comprise the City's required 20% local matching funds, a total of $150,000; and,
WHEREAS, this project will create an overall master plan for the ultimate
improvements desired by Petaluma Transit for the Petaluma Transit Operations, Administration
and Maintenance Facility that will chart the course for seeking future funding opportunities that
will help to develop this critical community facility; and,
WHEREAS, TLCD Architecture was evaluated as the most qualified proposal submitter
for the planning and design element of Phase One of this project based on evaluation of the firm
qualifications and experience, project manager and personnel qualifications and experience and
