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.

2.

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.

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:

Re:

Payment for a third-party review of a feasibility study for Oneida Casino

Background
The Oneida Casino has completed a feasibility study for economic development and was put in
motion in General Tribal Council on January 20th, 2020, under BC Resolution #03-11-20-C, to do
a third-party review of the feasibility study. The Oneida Casino is requesting $49,900 to have
the review to be done. The Oneida Casino has completed a request for proposal, scored the
RFP, and has both legal and purchasing approval for the contract and vendor.
Current Request
On April 6th, 2023, the Oneida Casino applied to the Economic Development, Diversification,
and Community Development team to review the request for payment of $49,900 for a thirdparty review of a feasibility study.
Findings after review
The request supplied the RFP scoring sheets, proposal winner (FSA Advisors, LLC), and the BC
Resolution #03-11-20-C, for the EDDCD review team.
The Guiding Documents utilized to determine the use of the EDDCD funds include the Broad
Goals, Comprehensive Plan Elements, and Economic Development plan which have the
following community related items:

Public Packet

¾ Revenue Generation- We want to gain financial security by leveraging our assets and
strengths, such as agriculture, tourism, entertainment, and the ability to create our own
corporate and tax laws to provide financial independence from Gaming and from the
federal government to provide a strong economy where the Nation and community
members can succeed and have individual independence and self-reliance.
¾ Economic Development-Support sound economic activities.
¾ Visitor Attraction-Elevate the role of the Oneida Reservation as a visitor destination with
events, conferences, and new tourist attractions.
In Closing
The requested $49,900 from the EDDCD fund for Oneida Casino is an appropriated use of the
funding.

The Oneida Business Committee has approved the following projects to be funded with TC Savings
TAP Community Events $66,000
I have attached the TC Savings Project resolution template. Please complete the template and submit to the next
available BC agenda as timing allows.
Please be aware that the lion’s share of TC Savings dollars have been obligated and the portal will soon be closed. Please
submit your agenda requests to officially obligate the funds and ensure you do not lose out on the opportunity.

Aliskwet –
For the BC meeting packet, generally there is confirmation that the proposed TC Savings Project was
approved by the BC Work Session and I don’t want there to be an question for the meeting
materials.
Please accept this email as confirmation, in addition to RaLinda’s email below, that the BC discussed
the HRD Remodel TC Savings Project at the 4/18 BC Work Session and supported the project being
funded.
There are some barriers identified because the request was:
submitted before the portal was closed, and
a technological issue prevented it from being considered before the portal was closed by BC
resolution # 03-22-23-F
The solution identified was for an amendment be made to BC resolution # 03-22-23-F to add a
“Group 3” and the portal remains closed. Chief Counsel has submitted the identified resolution and
it will need to be considered by the BC before the resolution to obligate TC Savings for the HRD
Remodel Project.
Thank you!

Attached is the BC Resolution to allocate TC Savings funds for your project. As your project is a CIP, I
don’t believe the project would run through your business unit. I believe it would go through
Engineering and they would be the project sponsor. Alternately, it could run through the Bldg Mtce
Set Aside if it can be completed by the end of the year and Craig Clausen would be the sponsor. The
PRT 888 shouldn’t be needed in HRD’s business unit. If that is an incorrect statement, my manager’s
will correct me.
