ISSUE/REQUEST
Approval of an agreement with GreenPlay, LLC to develop a Parks and Open Space
Comprehensive Master Plan (“Parks Master Plan”) in the amount of $98,499.00 as approved
in the FY 2015-16 Capital Improvements Plan (Project PR-49).
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION
The Blue Springs Parks and Recreation Department has identified several needs through the
parks system over the recent years. A Parks Master Plan is recommended as a means of
outlining, identifying and prioritizing park uses and needs. Along with staff input, resident input
will also be sought to develop a vision and priority list, to be included in a strategic plan
outlining the community’s future park system. The final product will be a document that will
serve as the Parks Master Plan. The Plan will provide an inclusive framework for orderly and
consistent planning; acquisition; development; and administration of the parks and recreation
resources, programs, and facilities.
The selected vendor will engage stakeholders and garner public input, and provide a
foundation for understanding and responding to the parks and recreation needs of a
community. The process involves strategically examining the community’s vision; existing
community services, facilities, and resources; and assessing future needs concerning parks,
recreation, open space, and greenways.
The recent 2015 City Council Strategic Plan Framework, Goal No. 5.2, identified parks and
recreation planning as a tool to shape successful communities, play a role in economic
development and revitalization and contribute to green infrastructure solutions. The Master
Plan will assist in shaping the delivery of local parks and recreation services, programs, and
activities in a manner that is consistent with the current comprehensive plan and policy
agenda.
Staff sent out a Request for Qualifications in July and received five submissions. A panel
reviewed the submissions and then selected three firms for interviews. The three firms
selected to interview were as follows:
GreenPlay, LLC Louisville, CO
Lose & Associates Nashville, TN
Pros Consulting Indianapolis, IN
A panel of nine members made up of City Council, Park Commission, School District and staff
Rev. 6/01/2015
Council Meeting Date: 11/16/2015
Agenda Item #: 3b
Page 2 of 3
interviewed the selected firms in early October. The panel recommended staff engage
GreenPlay, LLC in contract negotiations. An agreeable lump sum of $98,499.00 was
negotiated. It is anticipated there will be additional expenses not to exceed the total budgeted
amount. The budgeted funding of $120,000 for the Parks Master Plan project was included in
the FY 2015-16 Capital Improvement Program (Project PR-49). It is anticipated that it will take
nine months to complete the first parks master plan for the City of Blue Springs. Based upon
the interviews, timeline and the successful negotiated fee, staff recommends approval of the
agreement with GreenPlay, LLC to conduct the development of the Parks Comprehensive
Master Plan.

Company, PO Box 6000, West Fargo, ND 58078 utilizing the State of Missouri Department of
Transportation cooperative contract #3-130326RW in the amount of $21,372.10.
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION
In the 2016 capital outlay budget the department has been approved to replace skid steer

replaced before expensive wear items not covered under warranty are needed. The
equipment will be delivered through KC Bobcat of Blue Springs. All repairs will be covered
under warranty and performed by KC Bobcat located in Blue Springs. Public Works will trade-
in a 2014 S630 Skid Steer and a 2014 T590 Track Loader.
The purchase price of the 2016 S630 T4 Bobcat Skid-Steer Loader is $42,297.20, less the
trade-in value of $32,000.00 for a 2014 S630 Skid Steer, resulting in a purchase price of

ISSUE/REQUEST
Approval of an agreement between MARC Solid Waste Management District (SWMD) and the
City of Blue Springs to participate in the 2016 Regional Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Program in the amount of $54,678.00.
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION
The MARC SWMD provides regional household hazardous waste (HHW) collection for the
Kansas City area. Blue Springs joined the MARC’s HHW program in 1999. Since 1999, Blue
Springs residents have recycled 806,160 pounds of household hazardous waste at mobile
events and permanent facilities. Most recently, Blue Springs residents recycled 60,400 pounds
in 2012, 70,034 pounds in 2013, 64,958 pounds in 2014 and 64,551 in 2015 (through
September 30th). Of the 64,551 pounds collected during the first three quarters of 2015, 39,140
pounds were collected at the mobile event held at Pink Hill Park in April 2015. The remaining
weight was collected at other area mobile events and permanent collection facilities in Kansas
City and Lee’s Summit. Materials collected through the program include: antifreeze, batteries,
oil, paint, pesticides, household cleaners and other household chemicals and solvents.
Member communities pay a per capita rate per year allowing their residents to safely dispose
of HHW at permanent facilities in either Kansas City or Lee’s Summit, or attend mobile events
at no charge. Through this program, Blue Springs also hosts a mobile event within the City
each spring. This event provides a conveniently located household hazardous waste drop-off
site for the residents of Blue Springs. The HHW program provides residents with a safe and
legal way of disposing of household hazardous waste, which reduces costs and injuries related
to fires and medical emergencies, and illegal dumping clean up costs.
The 2015-2016 Community Development budget includes $55,370 in the Solid Waste
Commission Expense account. This covers the HHW Program expenses.

SUBMITTED BY: Adam Norris DEPARTMENT: Administration
Ordinance Resolution Presentation Public Hearing
Agreement Discussion Rezoning Other
ISSUE/REQUEST
Approval of an agreement between the City of Blue Springs and Kansas City Area
Transportation Authority (KCATA) to provide commuter bus services from Blue Springs to the
downtown Kansas City area. Term of the agreement is from October 1, 2015 to September
30, 2016, in an amount not to exceed $108,470.
BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION
The proposed contract amount for the KCATA #170-Blue Springs Express bus route for 2015-
2016 is $108,470. This represents a year over year increase of 4.25%. The contract will
continue to provide eight commuter express trips each weekday consisting of four westbound
trips from Blue Springs to downtown Kansas City, Missouri during the morning peak commute
period and four eastbound trips from downtown Kansas City, Missouri to Blue Springs during
the afternoon peak commute period. This budgeted expense is a part of the approved 2015-
2016 operating budget and is included in the City Council’s operating budget.
As outlined in the table below, the total cost of service for the Blue Springs Express route is
$435,990 for the 2015-2016 Fiscal Year (October 1, 2015 – September 30, 2016). Of this cost,
approximately $232,215 will be offset by state and federal grants (2.5% year-over-year
decrease). Passenger revenues will offset approximately $95,305 of the service cost and are
based on the current one-way fare of $3.00 ($95 monthly pass). Passenger revenue continues
to decrease, and is projected to offset 22% of route service costs. The City’s annual cost for
the service is the net difference between service costs and offsetting revenues. The 2015-16
FY, City funding represents 25% of the route service costs ($108,470).
Ridership on the #170-Blue Springs Express continues to exhibit a downward trend since the
peak in 2008, averaging 212 trips per day through September (see attached Ridership Totals
Chart). With a daily seating capacity of 320, the route has a utilization of approximately 69%.
The most recent ridership survey conducted in 2008 indicated that approximately 69% of riders
live in Blue Springs. Staff has requested another ridership survey during the 2015-16 service
period.

Contract for Transit Service
BLUE SPRINGS, MISSOURI
THIS CONTRACT, entered into this th day of October, 2015 by and between the KANSAS CITY
AREA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (hereinafter referred to as the "KCATA"), a body
corporate and politic and a political subdivision of both the States of Missouri and Kansas and the
CITY OF BLUE SPRINGS, MISSOURI (hereinafter referred to as the "Community").
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, a sound, efficient and viable public transportation system is essential to the
socioeconomic well-being of the Kansas City Area Transportation District (hereinafter referred to as
the "District"), including the Counties of Cass, Clay, Jackson, and Platte in Missouri, and the Counties
of Johnson, Leavenworth, and Wyandotte in Kansas; and
WHEREAS, the KCATA is a public agency authorized by law to plan, own, operate, have and
generally deal with public transportation systems and facilities in the District; and
WHEREAS, the Community desires to promote the convenience, comfort, prosperity, general
interests and welfare of its citizens, and
WHEREAS, the public transportation facilities and services of most immediate concern are those
estimated to be provided by the KCATA at a deficit, described generally in amounts and, more
specifically, by formula set forth in Amendment "A" adopted in January, 1976, modified in August,
1977, revised in January, 1983, and in December 1997.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Community requests public transportation services (hereinafter referred to as "Contract
Service"), set forth in Attachment "B", to be operated by the KCATA for the period October
1
1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.
2. The level of service as generally set forth in Attachment "B" shall not be changed or be
modified without the written consent of the Community.
3. The computations and, more specifically, the formula contained in Attachment "A" attached
hereto and made a part hereof, are the accepted methods for the determination of the
estimated deficit of the Community.
4. The KCATA and the Community estimate the Community’s total payment for the service
(hereinafter referred to as “Local Share”) to be $108,470. This estimate is based on the
following components of cost and revenue to be applied to the Contract:
Service Cost $411,934
Local Capital Cost $ 24,056
Service and Local Capital Cost $435,990
Passenger Revenue (95,305)
Estimated Total Deficit $340,685
Federal Funding (229,671)
State of Missouri ( 2,544)
Total Local Share $108,470
5. It is the understanding of the parties that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement,
the maximum obligation of the Community under this Contract shall be the sum of $108,470.
If the actual total deficit and other factors are such that the KCATA deems the full Local
Share is not required, the KCATA shall require payment of less than the Local share, or
reimburse the Community for a portion of the Local Share previously paid.
6. When the estimated total deficit of $340,685 is reached, KCATA's obligation to furnish
services shall terminate. The Community and KCATA may mutually agree to amend this
Contract to provide additional operating subsidy or to adjust the level of service so that the
cost of such service will not exceed the contractual subsidy.
7. If for any reason the KCATA is unable to obtain the federal or state assistance (the Federal
and State Share), as provided for in Paragraph "4" of this Contract, the Community will be
immediately notified and this contract will be amended to provide additional Local Share
subsidy or to adjust the level of service. If a satisfactory amendment is not agreed to after
a reasonable period, KCATA's obligation to furnish services will terminate.
8. The KCATA shall indemnify, save and hold the Community harmless from any and all
damage, loss or liability of any kind whatsoever arising out of this Contract, including, but
not limited to, any loss occasioned by reason of any injury to property or third persons
2
occasioned, in whole or in part, by any act, omission, neglect or wrongdoing of the KCATA,
or any of its officers, agents, representatives or employees. At its own cost and expense,
the KCATA will defend all losses arising therefrom.
9. The Community recognizes that the KCATA, as the principal public transportation operator
in the region, is obligated to conform with various regulations and requirements of the
Federal Transit Administration, in order to maintain its eligibility for financial assistance
pursuant to the Federal Transit Act. KCATA complies with Department of Homeland
Security and Social Security Administration employment eligibility requirements as
documented in Attachments “C” and “D.” In this regard, the Community agrees to
cooperate with the KCATA in meeting said regulations and requirements, and will not
require KCATA to violate said regulations and requirements. The Community will also
cooperate with reasonable requests of the KCATA, and the KCATA agrees to make all such
records available to the Community for the auditors upon reasonable request of the
Community.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this instrument to be executed as of the
day and year first above written.

ATTACHMENT "A"
REVENUE AND COST ALLOCATION PROCEDURES
Operating Expense and Revenue
The procedure to be used in determining passengers, direct operating expenses, indirect operating
expenses, farebox revenue, and estimated loss for transit service shall be as follows:
A. Passengers and Revenue - The number of passengers and the amount of revenue
reported will be derived from electronic farebox reports.
1. Revenue figures are computed as follows:
a. Total Fare Revenue is the total farebox revenue plus pass sales proration.
b. Pass Sales proration for a line is the Pass Sales Revenue multiplied by a pass
utilization factor as determined by data from electronic fareboxes.
2. Passenger types - definitions
a. Intra-city passenger - a passenger boarding and alighting in the same
jurisdiction.
b. Inter-city passenger - a passenger who boards in one jurisdiction and alights
in another.
3. Computation of inter-city and intra-city passengers
a. Intra-city passengers for each subsidizing jurisdiction will be determined by
multiplying total passengers by the appropriate intra-city passengers ratios
as determined by periodic activity checks. An intra-city passenger ratio is the
ratio of passengers who both board and alight a bus within that community
to total route passengers on the line.
b. Inter-city passengers for the route will be determined by subtracting the intra-
city passengers from the total route passengers.
B. Direct Operating Expenses - Each route shall be charged direct labor and benefits on the
basis of scheduled pay hours (including allowances, spread, guarantee, and overtime) times
the fully burdened operator cost per hour of service for each type of bus used
4
(Large, Small, or Metroflex). Each route shall be charged fuel and tire expense for the same
type of bus used (Large, Small or Metroflex) in the proportion of route miles per type of bus
to total system miles for the same type of bus.
C. Indirect Operating Expenses - Indirect operating expenses shall be allocated to each
route on the ratio of route miles to total system miles for the same type of bus used (Large,
Small, or Metroflex). Indirect operating expenses include all expenses except direct labor
and fuel and tire expense, such as maintenance cost, vanpool operations, administrative and
overhead expense, and a contribution to self-insured reserves for revenue vehicle and
workers compensation.
D. Estimated Net Income or Loss - Intra-City Routes - Estimated net income or loss for
each route shall be calculated by subtracting total fare revenue for each route from the total
operating expenses for each route.
E. Allocation of Net Income or Loss on Inter-City Routes.
1. Suburban Express Routes
a. A suburban express route is a route or portion of a route that is designed to
serve inter-city passengers and suburban community intra-city passengers,
and does not serve Kansas City, Missouri, intra-city passengers.
b. Net income or net losses of inter-city routes shall be prorated among the
subsidizing jurisdictions by calculating the net loss per passenger (total
operating expense less total fare revenue) and then multiplying the net loss
per passenger by the number of passengers boarding in each jurisdiction.
2. Local Service Inter-City Routes
a. A local service inter-city route is a route designed to serve Kansas City,
Missouri, intra-city passengers, as well as inter-city passengers and suburban
community intra-city passengers.
b. Revenue shall be credited among subsidizing jurisdictions by assigning intra-
city passenger revenue to the jurisdiction in which the trips are made. Inter-
city passenger revenue shall be assigned by calculating the revenue per inter-
city passenger and then by multiplying the revenue per inter-city passenger
by the number of inter-city passengers boarding in each jurisdiction.
c. Operating costs shall be allocated among subsidizing jurisdictions as follows:
(l) Direct labor costs shall be allocated on the basis of operator cost per
hour of service multiplied by the actual time operated in each
5
jurisdiction.
(2) Fuel and tire expense in the proportion of miles in each jurisdiction to
total system miles.
(3) Indirect operating expense in the proportion of miles in each
jurisdiction to total system miles.
d. The Net Income or Loss for each jurisdiction is calculated as the sum of direct
labor cost, fuel and tire expense, and indirect operating expense, less
passenger revenue credit.
F. Capital Expense - Each jurisdiction will be charged capital expense, prorated on community
miles to system miles, to be used for the acquisition of buses, facilities and other equipment.
The capital charge may be used for the purchase of vans for a vanpool operation that will
facilitate in providing a regional transit system. Such vanpool operation must provide service
to or from the Community that is reasonable when compared to the amount of the
Community’s capital contribution for the vans.
G. Enclave Communities - Local service inter-city routes operating from a part of Kansas City,
Missouri, through another jurisdiction and into another portion of Kansas City, Missouri, will
be treated differently for the allocation of Net Income or Loss. The Net Income or Loss for
the intermediate (enclave) jurisdiction will be based on 50% of the calculated cost for that
jurisdiction per Item "E". The remaining 50% of the calculated cost within the intermediate
jurisdiction will be allocated to Kansas City, Missouri.
H. For Service Implemented After December 31, 1997 – Service implemented after
December 31, 1997, that is above the service level that exists as of December 31, 1997, will
be allocated costs as stated in other sections of this Appendix, except for Indirect Operating
Expenses. Indirect Operating Expenses shall be allocated to such service based on 45
percent of the ratio of route miles to total system miles for each type of bus. Indirect
Operating Expenses include all expenses except direct labor and fuel and tire expense; such
as maintenance cost, vanpool operations, administrative and overhead expense, etc.
