Re: Beaumont Transit Facility Roof Replacement
Dear Ms. San Miguel,
Regarding the proposed replacement of the existing roof system, the current roof system on
the Beaumont Transit facility is a built-up tar and gravel roof system. The existing roof system
is approximately 28 years old and Is beginning to show signs of cracking and wear. Within the
past twelve months, we responded to four reports of roof leaks. In recent months, the reports
of roof leaks appear to be more frequent than in past years. The City of Beaumont is in the
process of having the roof assessed by a roofing consultant, Since 2005 this roof, along with
many roof systems within the City of Beaumont have experienced several hurricanes, tropical
storms, hailstorms, and hard freezes. The harsh weather from the storms tends to shorten the
life and/or damage the roof systems.
Sincerely,

Re: Beaumont Transit Facility Replacement of Two HVAC Systems
Dear Ms. San Miguel,
Regarding the proposed replacement of two 7.5-ton HVAC systems at the Beaumont Transit
Facility, the current HVAC split systems for the Parts Room and Shop Area are 1992 model
systems, therefore they are approximately 31 years old, The units are 7.5-tort capacity and are
beginning to experience more service calls. The typical life span of a DX split system is 15 -- 20
years if they are well maintained. The existing systems have been maintained well as reflected
In the current age of the units. Beaumont Facilities Maintenance Department recommends the
two systems be replaced due to the age and the units still utilize R-22 refrigerant which is being
phased out and not manufactured anymore.
Sincerely,
Keith Folsom

Dear Ms. Engman:
The Public Transportation Program managed by the Public Transportation Division (PTN) of
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was allocated 15,000,000 Transportation
Development Credits (TDC) for distribution to eligible projects by the Texas Transportation
Commission (commission) in Minute Order 116292 for state fiscal year 2023.
PTN has reviewed the City of Beaumont's project to be submitted for the FY 2023 Emergency
Relief Program Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Beaumont Urbanized area and finds that
the project is eligible for TDC. If funds are awarded, PTN will take necessary actions to award an
amount of up to 168,000 TDC for use as match.
PTN has considered the potential of the projects to expand the availability of funding for public
transportation projects and finds that the project meets the established goals set forth in Title
43, Texas Administrative Code, §5.102 to support public transit and maximize the use of
available federal funds, particularly in situations in which federal funds otherwise would be
unused because of the inability to provide the non-federal share.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Justin Lawson at
512- 884-8051.
