4B. KAWES CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT AMENDMENT
Overview
The Route 91 Median Widening Project, from the Orange County Line to Main Street in
the City of Corona, started construction in July of 1991. It is currently on schedule and
is expected to be complete by June of 1993. The Commission had previously approved
an amendment to KaWES's contract in March of 1991 for $150,000. There have been
several problem areas that have surfaced during project construction that required
additional engineering effort not foreseen in the original estimate. The details of the
contract amendment are outlined in the staff memorandum.
Staff Recommendation
That the Commission approve Amendment No. 2 to Contract RO-9002 in the amount of
$60,000 for technical support of construction activities on the Route 91, OCL to Main
Street, Measure A Highway Improvement Project. Amendment to be reviewed by Legal
Counsel prior to approval.
4C. AMENDMENT 3 TO PBQ&D CONTRACT
Overview
Recently, management direction has both delayed and changed the scope of the HOV
lane addition for Interstate 215 from the east junction with State Route 60 north to
Interstate 10. The result of these changes is that additional alternatives will now have to
be studies, the project limits have increased on the east, west, and south in order to
properly tie into adjacent projects, the environmental study for the Ultimate alternative will
be rescoped as a Tier 1 study, and the preferred alternative will be a full standard HOV
addition (one lane in each direction) throughout the project limits.
Staff Recommendation
Staff and Legal Counsel are still reviewing the scope of the amendment as well as
reviewing the impact that this change will have on the current MOU with SANBAG. The
final format for Amendment 3 to the PBO&D contract and the proposed change to the
MOU with SANBAG will be presented at the Administrative committee meeting.
4D. CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 3 FOR AGREEMENT RO-9101 WITH GREINER, INC.,
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING AND FINAL DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE ROUTE 91 MEDIAN
WIDENING PROJECT, FROM MAGNOLIA AVENUE TO MARY STREET
Overview
Greiner is requesting an amendment to Agreement No. RO-9101 for compensation due
to the addition of extra scope of work to the original milestones set forth in Amendment
Number Two, for the PS&E work task. This additional work scope is a result of several
situations that have occurred since the approval of amendment number two.

the amount of $225,260.92.
4E. COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS FOR THE FOLLOWING MEASURE A HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS: 1) ROUTE 79, FROM GILMAN SPRING ROAD TO FIRST
STREET IN THE CITY OF BEAUMONT, AND 2) ROUTE 79. FROM KELLER ROAD TO
NEWPORT ROAD
Overview
The Measure A plan calls for improvements on Route 79 for the two projects referenced
in the staff memorandum. Normally, Cooperative Agreements are entered into at the onset
of preliminary engineering for the project. Because of the difficulty in reaching agreement
on the exact wording for one of the first Cooperative Agreements initiated for the 1-215
Measure A projects, and to keep that project and all other Measure A projects moving
towards completion of preliminary engineering and environmental clearance, the project
development process was initiated by RCTC on many projects without resolution of the
Cooperative Agreement language. The Cooperative Agreements for Route 79 were
patterned after the wording of the 1-215 Agreement on which RCTC and Caltrans have
reached resolution.
Staff Recommendation
That the Commission approve the Route 79 Cooperative Agreements to be entered into
by Caltrans and RCTC for the following projects: (1) Project Development and Final
Design PS&E for the Route 79 Measure A Improvement Project, from Gilman Spring Road
(PM 33.9) to First Street (PM 40.1) in the City of Beaumont; and (2) Project Development
and Right -of -Way Engineering for the Route 79 Measure A Improvement Project, from
Keller Road (PM 10.9) to Newport Road (PM 15.2).
4F. CAJALCO CORRIDOR STUDY- INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CONTRACT AMOUNT FOR P&D
TECHNOLOGIES
Overview
RCTC staff has reviewed P&D Technologies request for an additional increase in their
authorized contract amount for the Cajalco Corridor Study (Phase II). In addition, P&D
Technologies requested payment for their attendance at a presentation in March to brief
a Commissioner and staff on the overall status of the Cajalco Corridor study.
Staff Recommendation
That the Commission approve P&D Technologies' final request for funding in the amount
of $11,408.85 which will end the Commission's current participation in the Cajalco
Corridor study.

5A. MEASURE A COMMUTER BICYCLING DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM
Overview
The Riverside Bicycle Commuter Coalition (RBCC) submitted a FY91 /92 Congestion
Management and Air Quality (CMAO) proposal to promote bicycling as a safe and viable
commuting alternative. While the proposal was not funded under the CMAO process,
staff has evaluated its merits and application to the Measure A Commuter Assistance
Program. The RBCC Board has indicated its willingness to enter into an agreement with
the Commission to develop and implement a demonstration program. Staff has identified
those tasks of the CMAQ proposal most consistent with the overall Measure A Program.
The goal of the demonstration effort is to determine its effectiveness in shifting local work
related trips from the automobile to the bicycle.
Staff Recommendation
That the Commission: 1) Direct staff to negotiate and finalize an agreement with the
Riverside Bicycle Commuter Coalition, pursuant to the attached CMAQ proposal, for the
development and implementation of a Commuter Bicycling Demonstration Program; 2)
Approve the agreement as negotiated by staff, subject to legal counsel review, and
authorize the Executive Director to execute, on behalf of the Commission, said agreement
with RBCC; and 3) Approve the expenditure of Measure A Commuter Assistance funds
in an amount not to exceed $160,000 for the bicycle commuter program for the period
September '92 through June '93.
5B. MEASURE A LEASE PARK-N-RIDE PROGRAM
Overview
The Commission has contracted with Inland Transportation Services (ITS) for the past two
years to negotiate and manage park-n-ride lease agreements with private property
owners. Seven lots totalling 435 spaces have been negotiated. Consultant services
continue to be required on an as needed basis to secure and renew leases, and market
lots to increase commuter use. Based on performance and program continuity, the ITS
agreement is proposed to be extended for a third year.
Staff Recommendation
That the Commission: (1) Approve, pursuant to the attached proposal and subject to
Legal Counsel review, amendment of the existing contract for lease park-n-ride services
with Inland Transportation Services at hourly rates of $65/Project Manager and
$45/Marketing Specialist; (2) Authorize the Executive Director to execute the amended
agreement on behalf of the Commission, and; (3) Allocate Measure A highway funds in
an amount not to exceed $20,000 for the period August 15, 1992 to August 15, 1993.
