Commission Memo Prepared by: Kevin Greenwood Date: May 1, 2018 Re: Public Hearing No. 2 - P3 Rules With the passage of HB 2750, the Oregon State Legislature allowed the Port of Hood River to consider Public Private Partnerships (P3s) if the Port would develop rules similar to the State’s. Steve Siegel has been a technical advisor throughout the process. This schedule, developed by Siegel and Port Staff, has been moving along and May 1st is the second and final opportunity for the Commission to hear public comment on the Rules. As of April 24, the Port had received four sets of comments (all of which are available at https://portofhoodriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/P3-Rules- 18.04.24_Redacted.pdf). Siegel and staff have reviewed the comments and were able to improve the rules based on received input. Attached is a memo from Siegel on the significant changes and a red-lined version of the rules. Mr. Siegel will call in to summarize the changes and answer any questions. • Key timeline dates (Commission meetings in italics), X=completed: o Prelim Review Draft #1 Discussed ...............................

RECOMMENDATION: Open hearing and receive public comment on the P3 rules. (3) This page intentionally left blank. (4) TO: Port of Hood River Commission, Michael McElwee, Kevin Greenwood FROM: Steve Siegel SUBJ: Proposed Final Draft of Public-Private Partnership (P3) Rule About 60 specific comments were received from four testifiers during the public review period. The comments reflected in depth reviews by the testifiers, all of whom were transportation professionals, some of whom specialized in P3 projects. In addition, ODOT reviewed the Draft Rule and did not provide written testimony, but verbally advised the Port’s lobbyist that they found that the Port’s Draft Rule substantially conforms to the ODOT Rule, as required by the statute. The attached Proposed Final Draft shows the redline revisions to the Public Review Draft proposed for Commission action. Most of the proposed revisions reflect grammatical or citation corrections, terminology refinements for understandability, or other technical clarifications; but there are a few the deserve attention from the Commission. Below is a summary of the key issues identified in the comments: 1. Establish limitations in the Rule regarding the types of P3 arrangements the Port will consider. Comments were received that the Rule should prohibit P3 agreements wherein (i) ownership is transferred to the private entity, (ii) public resources other than toll revenue are provided to the P3 partner, and (iii) the P3 partner is involved in toll setting. We concluded it was premature to establish these prohibitions in the rule. The Port will be undertaking analyses of P3 market for the replacement bridge. Establishing limitations on deal points in the rule prior to these analyses would simply amount to a guess about what is feasible. If it is feasible to restrict ownership, public funding requirements, etc., the Commission can do so later in the RFP. Thus, no revisions to the rule are proposed in response to these comments. 2. Streamline the process by eliminating inefficiencies. P3 entities are sensitive to the amount of time a procurement process takes because time is money. The comments address two different ways to expedite the process: a. Tighten time period requirements in the rule. Early drafts of the rule had tight time frames. In the preparation of various drafts, the time period requirements were lengthened. Upon review, we believe that some time period requirements should be retightened. As a result, revisions are proposed to subsections 4.4(1), 5.2(7), 6.3(4) and (5), each of which shorten the time period for appeals. b. Allow Director to take additional intermediate actions that currently are assigned to the Commission. There is full agreement that the major policy and substantive actions during the procurement (i.e.; issuing the RFP, selecting proposals for detailed evaluation, selecting the preferred proposal, approving agreements, etc.) should be taken by the Commission. But there are intermediate actions that are more procedural in nature that could be made by the Director in shorter time frames without undermining the Commission’s role. The initial draft of the Rule had the Director handling these items, the Public Review Draft placed responsibility for these actions on 1 | Page (5) the Commission, and the attached proposed final rule seeks to refine the balance. As a result, revisions are proposed to subsections 4.1(6)(c), which expands to the types of addenda to an RFP that the Director may issue without Commission approval; 4.4.(4)(a), which allows the Director to approve changes in the proposed Team prior to any action by the Commission selecting or rejecting the team (after a Commission action, any change in the Team still requires Commission approval); 4.5(5) and (6), which allows the Director to determine the penalty associated with lobbying (which is now referred to as unauthorized public communications), although the Director’s determination can be appealed to the Commission; and 5.2, which allows the Director to determine Unresponsive Submissions (with appeals to the Commission). 3. Restrict, to the extent permitted by law, public disclosure of Submissions and the Evaluation Panel’s report until after the Agreement is executed. The final selection of a preferred proposer does not occur until after the Agreement is approved (subsection 3(4)). Until then, it is possible that there may be Competitive Negotiations with multiple proposers, or there may be further consideration of a lower ranked proposer if an agreement cannot be reached with a higher ranked proposer. Allowing proposers to have access to the Submissions or the report of the Evaluation Panel during this period could undercut the Port’s ability to get the best deal. Thus, subsection

  • MAASTO Annual Report
    DRAFT i A letter from the president Greetings — I am pleased to present this 2017 annual report highlighting the achievements and innovations by our member states over the past year. The 10 states that comprise MAASTO are accomplishing some truly impressive things that will further elevate the prominent role we play in supporting our nation’s economy and enhancing the quality of life for citizens who call our region home. One thing is clear — as technology rapidly advances and the need deepens for identifying creative solutions for new and old problems alike, it is more important than ever that we work together to share best practices and inspire innovation. In that spirit, 43 individuals from across the region met in Chicago this spring for a summit on intermodal freight with an ultimate goal of strengthening the Midwest economy and improving the mobility of goods and people. A lot of discussion centered on opportunities for collabora - tion, as well as leveraging emerging technology and harmonizing regulations that vary by state and therefore affect freight movement. An overview of the summit begins on page 4. This report also highlights MAASTO’s effort to improve freight network safety and efficiency by providing truckers, dispatchers and their companies with real-time parking information. This is America’s first multistate effort of its kind. I am confident you will be impressed with the progress this partnership has achieved over the past year. We have a lot to be proud of and clearly can achieve great things together. Experiencing that level of partnership has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my role as MAASTO president.

Its health and economic impacts are staggering in scope and still developing as I present this proposal. And the true impact is further complicated by an evolving federal response for providing relief to different segments of our community, economy, and Louisville Metro Government. Given the number of unknown factors, I thought it prudent to present a continuation budget, knowing that we will undoubtedly need to revise it to achieve a structurally balanced and fiscally responsible plan that represents our city values.

  • E-ZPASS TRANSPONDERS RECOMMENDED for MOTORCYCLES Tolling Is Expected to Begin Late This Year
    Contact: Mindy Peterson RiverLink spokesperson 502.595.8704, [email protected] E-ZPASS TRANSPONDERS RECOMMENDED FOR MOTORCYCLES Tolling is expected to begin late this year LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 9, 2016) – Motorcyclists who have been waiting to open RiverLink accounts have a recommendation on which transponder to use. It’s recommended that motorcyclists use a RiverLink E-ZPass transponder, and purchase a transponder holder that works best for their motorcycle and needs. Several options can be found through third-party vendors with an online search. The RiverLink E-ZPass transponder is $15 per transponder. It’s a one-time cost for the life of the transponder, with the battery expected to last at least seven years. The RiverLink E-ZPass transponder can be moved from vehicle to vehicle registered to a single account. It can also be used in all 16 E-ZPass states, primarily located in the Northeast corridor. With a transponder, the toll for motorcycles is $2 per crossing, the rate for passenger vehicles. Opening an Account RiverLink is the new, all-electronic tolling system making the Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project possible. There are no toll booths, no coin machines, no lines and no stopping. Initial toll rates range from $2-$12. The lowest toll rates are for drivers with transponders. Drivers must set up a prepaid account to get a transponder. Drivers can open a personal account online at www.RiverLink.com, by phone at 855-RIV-LINK or in person at one of two RiverLink customer service centers. The customer service centers are located at 400 East Main Street in Louisville and 103 Quartermaster Court in Jeffersonville.

  • TOLLING on OHIO RIVER BRIDGES to BEGIN DECEMBER 30 Kennedy, Lincoln and East End Bridges Will Be Tolled
    TOLLING ON OHIO RIVER BRIDGES TO BEGIN DECEMBER 30 Kennedy, Lincoln and East End bridges will be tolled JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (Dec. 13, 2016) – Tolling on the Louisville – Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project is scheduled to begin Friday, December 30. Tolled bridges include the new I-65 Abraham Lincoln Bridge, the improved I-65 Kennedy Bridge and the new East End bridge. “Critical system testing is complete,” said Clint Murphy, director of tolling oversight for the Indiana Department of Transportation. “While system preparations are continuing, we’ve cleared the necessary hurdles to set a start date for tolling. The Ohio River Bridges Project will mean faster and safer commutes for drivers. Without tolling, this new and improved transportation system would not be possible.” Drivers opening their RiverLink accounts online or by phone are encouraged to do so by the end of this week (Dec. 17) to help ensure they get their transponders before the start of tolling. Drivers with transponders will pay the lowest toll rates. Drivers must set up a prepaid account to get a transponder. All drivers who set up their accounts and have transponders assigned to their vehicles will pay the lowest toll rates on the first day of tolling, even if they haven’t received their transponders. License plates will be scanned and the transponder rate applied until transponders are delivered. Crossings will not count toward the frequent-user discount until transponders are properly mounted in cars. Drivers who have their RiverLink local transponders are encouraged to mount them now, so they’re prepared for the start of tolling.
