Adjournment CEO REPORT Report of the Chief Executive Officer July 17, 2019 Board of Commissioners Delaware River Port Authority of Pennsylvania and New Jersey One Port Center 2 Riverside Drive Camden, New Jersey 08101-1949 To the Commissioners: The following is a summary of recent DRPA activities. The appropriate reports are attached. Emergency Powers June 20th Storm Damage at PATCO I utilized my CEO Powers for emergency repairs due to the June 20, 2019 weather related damages. We employed contractors already on our property to insure the fastest mobilization. The following contractors were hired: AP Construction for clean-up at Ashland Station and drainage inspection at Haddonfield Station; Rail Road Construction of South Jersey to utilize equipment and labor to perform immediate repairs of washed out areas and HNTB to perform track inspections, drainage inspections, and oversight for track area repairs in an amount estimated at $65,000.00. Open Invoices for Dunbar On August 15, 2018 the Board approved PATCO to enter into a contract with Dunbar for 5 years N-T-E $740,847. At the time of contract preparation/negotiation, Brinks started the process of buying Dunbar Armored. Due to the ongoing issues with the buyout, DRPA has been unable to contract successfully with Dunbar/Brinks. Dunbar has continued to service the EVMs daily and bill PATCO monthly. PATCO was able to pay Dunbar up to December 2018 when the previous contract expired. Dunbar has not been paid for their servicing since that time. Approximately $60,000 was needed to satisfy Dunbar invoicing until a contract can be executed with Dunbar. Dunbar has indicated that it will stop serving our machines until we paid the past due invoices. PATCO’s machines could not go unserviced and I utilized my CEO Powers for this emergency Purchase Order. STEWARDSHIP Ben Franklin Bridge Barrier Replacement Project The Ben Franklin Bridge Highway Department recently wrapped up a labor-intensive project that replaced the entire movable barrier wall on the historic bridge. Over the past four years, workers gradually replaced the entire old concrete movable barrier wall with upgraded steel shell concrete-filled barrier segments. The work on the barrier wall, which is nearly 1.75 miles in length, was replaced segment by segment. The replacement work had to be done over select weekends during the four years and it was completed on Sunday, June 23. This was a planned multi-year capital project entirely by in-house DRPA Highway Department forces with material procurement cost of $7.3 million. SERVICE Up & Down… Over & Across On Tuesday, June 27, Chief Engineer Michael Venuto and PATCO General Manager John Rink served as panelists on Woman In Transportation (WTS) Philadelphia’s “UP & DOWN... OVER & ACROSS: How DRPA, PATCO, and NJTransit Are Moving the Region” event at the Sheraton Society Hill. Attendees learned about the concerted collaboration among agencies in South Jersey as well as upcoming projects that will have positive impacts on the region. Special Districts Summit On Tuesday, June 25, DRPA participated in the Special Districts Summit Northeast. The Summit is a unique gathering of government organizations representing water, power, transportation, planning, ports, bridges & more. Attendees share ideas & network with agency leaders throughout the region. The Summit included topics on management and leadership, process improvement and emerging technologies to name a few. Robert Hicks, DRPA Chief Operating Officer, serves on the Summit’s Advisory Board COMMUNITY Community Stewardship Employee Pin Last month we told you about the “Authority Pin Program,” initiated in the Administrative Division over a year ago as a pilot program, which is designed to recognize employees who “model behaviors and actions” which build trust and credibility among employees, and that illustrate and support the Authority’s 10 Shared Values: Community Stewardship, Authentic Communication, Humility, Fairness & Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, Safety First, Collaboration, Growth & Development, Credibility and Continuous Improvement. Each Shared Value is displayed on a beautiful ceramic pin. As reported last month, to kick off the Pin Program initiative, we asked employees to consider supporting a Mother’s Day project sponsored by The Unforgotten Haven located in Blackwood, NJ (www.theunforgottenhaven.org). Volunteers of this organization were putting together “empowerment bags” for homeless women and women of domestic violence and asked for “gently worn” handbags that they could fill with toiletries, journals, pens, candy, etc. We proudly reported that DRPA and PATCO employees donated 470 handbags. A total of 99 employees participated (77 DRPA employees and 22 PATCO employees). Each employee who participated received a “Community Stewardship 2019” pin and a lanyard. This initiative could not have happened without the vision, time and energy of a number of employees pictured below who helped coordinate this effort. We thank them for their help with this important outreach initiative of such great benefit to the community. Pictured below from left to right are: Chief Administrative Officer Toni P. Brown, Director of Human Resources Services Kelly Forbes, Chief Operating Officer Robert Hicks, Walt Whitman Bridge Director Larry Walton, Ben Franklin Bridge Director Val Bradford, C&M Mechanic Johnathan Mathieu, Administrative Coordinator, Karen Dougherty, Administrative Coordinator Noemi Jones, C&M Mechanic Eric Riggs, Administrative Coordinator Kathleen Harris, Administrative Coordinator Tyshia Ramos, DRPA Customer Service Coordinator Tina Petaccio, DRPA Customer Service Coordinator Laura Sadler Hunter, DRPA Commissioner Donna Powell, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Maria Wing, Chief Executive Officer John T. Hanson, and DRPA Commissioner Aaron Nelson. Ben Franklin Bridge Special Lightings As part of community stewardship with regional non-profits we are pleased to provide special lighting on the Benjamin Franklin Bridge for the following occasions and organizations from July 1-31, 2019: • July 1-4 — Independence Week Celebration • July 22 — Fragile X Awareness Day AROUND THE AUTHORITY Our DRPA/PATCO Summer Interns Are Here Our 2019 Summer Interns are here! After a thorough Summer Intern Orientation organized by Linda Ashley, Administrator, Employee Relations, Policies and Programs, and delivered by numerous Authority staff, the summer interns arrived at their various work locations on May 28th at DRPA and PATCO eager to work. We have received very positive feedback on the meaningful contributions they are making in their respective assignments.

ABOVE AND BEYOND Officers Recognized for Going Above and Beyond Call of Duty Top Cop Award of Excellence for DWI Enforcement On June 13, Sgt. Voll was recognized by Mothers Against Drunk Driving with the Top Cop Award of Excellence for DWI Enforcement. Sgt. Voll led not only our department, but the entire state of New Jersey, in DWI arrests for 2019. Ben Franklin Bridge BFB Units were alerted to a BOLO from Camden County Metro PD for a white Ford sedan wanted for shooting at a Pennsauken PD officer. P/O Tubens located the vehicle traveling westbound on the BFB and initiated a felony stop at 5th and Vine. The driver and passenger were removed from the vehicle and taken into custody. Both the subjects and vehicle were later turned over to Camden County Metro PD. Sgt. Voll, P/O Byrd, P/O Fletcher, and P/O Fitzpatrick assisted. Ben Franklin Bridge BFB Units were dispatched for a report of a female standing on the steel railing of the south pedestrian walkway. P/O DeLuca, P/O Allenbach, and P/O Waters arrived on scene. P/O De Luca and P/O Allenbach began a dialogue with the subject while P/O Waters kept other pedestrians away from the subject.

  • On Track Progress Towards Transit-Oriented Development in The
    Created in 1965, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is an interstate, intercounty and intercity agency that provides continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning to shape a vision for the future growth of the Delaware Valley region. The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, as well as the City of Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties in New Jersey. DVRPC provides technical assistance and services; conducts high priority studies that respond to the requests and demands of member state and local governments; fosters cooperation among various constituents to forge a consensus on diverse regional issues; determines and meets the needs of the private sector; and practices public outreach efforts to promote two-way communication and public awareness of regional issues and the Commission. Our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal, and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole, while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for its findings and conclusions, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies. DVRPC fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities.
