Re:

Special Recognition – RAISE Grant Recipients

Background:

The Oneida Transit Team and Oneida Grants Department are the recent recipients of

the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Grant for

the Oneida Transit Bus Garage in the amount of $2,952,050.00.

In accordance with the Grant,: The Oneida Nation will construct a new transit garage

that consists of office space, vehicle storage, wash bay and mezzanines to accommodate

the Transit Department’s space needs. The new facility will be built on a 3-acre site,

including exterior hard surfaces and green space. The new facility will be approximately

12,660 square feet total, with the office portion approximately 3,700 square feet, and

the vehicle bay area approximately 8,960 square feet. The vehicle bay area is large

enough to house the entire transit fleet and provide adequate storage space for vehicle

supplies and parts. The facility is designed to be functional, ADA compliant, expandable,

and energy efficient in order to minimize operating costs and offer sustainable design

features.

SCHEDULE E

CHANGES FROM APPLICATION

Scope: None

Schedule: The schedule in the application projected a start date for construction approximately

90 days after award in 2023 and an opening on or before June 30, 2026. The schedule has been

revised to indicate a construction start date of February 2024 and an opening date of March

2025. The main reason for the variance in the start date is that the original application did not

account for adequate time in the schedule for negotiation of the grant agreement. The

construction will still be completed within 365-548 days. These allowances have been included

in the revised schedule included in Schedule C.

Budget: The total project costs included in the application have increased by $1,643,554 (49%)

due to an inflationary increase in construction materials cost since the time of the application.

This additional cost is being covered by additional Other Federal Funds in the form of 5311c

Tribal Transit formula funds and additional Non-Federal Funds in the form of local contribution

from Oneida Nation.

Supporting Narrative.

The facility will be designed to protect the environment from air pollution and to be

suitable for Oneida Nation’s long-term goal of replacing its current 10 bus fleet with a

fleet focused on the use of electric buses. The public’s use of buses, in addition to

promoting community travel and business, also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and

reduces wear and tear on local highways and bridges. Improving the condition of the

Oneida Nation’s buses will allow it to expand and encourage transit transportation and

reduce the community’s carbon footprint. It is ultimately part of a plan to move the

Oneida Transit fleet to all electric, supported by the creation of an adequate bus facility.

The construction of a new modern facility will allow Oneida Nation to expand its bus

service by improving the condition of our current fleet and keeping its buses in better

condition and on the road. The improved condition of its buses will allow expansion of its

demand response or on-demand services encouraging bus usage as a valid choice for the

community. The newly constructed facility will be built to be supportive of the

11 of 19

environment and the community by providing a cross-functional, centralized facility that

will allow us to effectively contribute to community resilience planning. It will be in a

position to operate as an incident Command Post, emergency shelter or a point of

community distribution. A garage facility will give us enough space to allow for us to

partner with multiple community emergency response teams and to host evacuation

workshops.

Supporting Narrative.

The Oneida transit system operates accessible buses for the transporting of differently

abled individuals and the elderly, removing physical barriers for individuals and

communities. This project will also support Oneida Nation’s monthly service for

transporting clients to inter-city locations for medical purposes such as trips to Madison

and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

This project proactively addresses racial barriers to opportunity, including auto

dependence. While by far the majority of its clientele is American Indian, the Oneida

transit does not discriminate in the service that it offers. Oneida transit is dedicated to the

preservation of the Oneida community and supports it by providing adequate

transportation to those community members that need it and by supporting community

events and activities. Oneida transit supports community events and cultural activities by

providing transportation to and from the various venues, including Tribal events such as

the annual Oneida Nation powwow and the Apple festival. Oneida transit also transports

community members to important public gatherings and political meetings. The Oneida

Transit system operates a daily schedule of rides that are designed to cover as many

clients as possible while doing so in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Rides are

provided at a reasonable cost to promote ridership and affordability. Buses are operated

by a trained staff of drivers and are equipped to handle the varied needs of its passengers,

as well as the requirements of the ADA. Oneida serves all reservation locations and visits

local bus company hubs to transfer individuals to other buses for longer trips. The

existence of this reliable service negates the impact that high costs associated with

automobile dependent transportation can have on elders, low income and differently able

individuals.

The Recipient or a project partner will provide training and placement

Supporting Narrative.

Oneida transit as required by federal law and Oneida preference laws seeks to hire

contractors that obey all local and federal regulations and strives to encourage the hiring

of Oneida Tribal members, other minorities, and female employees. The Oneida Nation

requires that contractors selected to work on projects for Oneida Nation departments and

16 of 19

Public Packet

25 of 261

divisions hire qualified Oneida people to fill project position and to hire other individuals

from minority classes as possible to fill open positions or to be included among

employees hired to be trained for positions on Oneida projects.

One benefit of this project is the potential for job creation and retention. The construction

project itself will create an opportunity for higher wage employment, and Oneida Nation

estimates that the project will employ as many as 45 workers. Further, having a facility

where Oneida transit can secure its buses will also allow it to hire a maintenance staff and

to contribute to the retention of other staff such as groundskeeping and housekeeping and

later to expand our service and hire more drivers. Currently all routine and other

maintenance except the most basic cleaning services are subcontracted outside the

Oneida Nation community.

Re:

Resolution ‐ “Office of Violence Against Women – FY2023 Grants to Indian Tribal

Governments Program”

The Domestic Violence Program (under Family Services) is re-applying to the Office of Violence

Against Women – FY2023 Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program to enhance current

sexual assault services and respond to clientele need with additional resources. This grant will

help to increase the quality of life of those served using culturally based systems of care to help

victims heal from trauma.

We currently have the grant but the funding cycle is ending as of the end of September. The

purpose of which is to increase tribal capacity to respond to such gender-based violence victims.

This includes advocacy services such as emotional support, education, empowerment groups,

legal advocacy, and referrals, all through a culturally relevant lens. The grant is for up to

$1,000,000 for 3 years and requires no match from the Nation and is all encompassing.

If there are further questions, please contact:
