BUDGET/FINANCE AGENDA ITEM NO. 2
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
July 11, 1990
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Jack Reagan, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Proposed Contract With Georgiena Vivian of Valley Research and Planning
Associates for Development of Congestion Management Plan Work Program
Georgiena Vivian worked for me for nine years at the Council of Fresno County
Governments. She has since established her own planning consulting practice. I consider
her to be one of the most capable and productive planners with whom I have worked. Her
experience makes her well suited to assist RCTC to meet the Congestion Management
Program requirements. She also has the ability to relate well with local agencies' staff and
elected officials.
In light of the need to quickly begin work on the Congestion Management Program, I asked
Georgiena to meet with Paul Blackwelder and determine her interest in providing assistance
to RCTC. It was agreed that Georgiena should prepare a proposal for preparation of the
CMP Work Program. Based upon her performance, additional work may follow.
A copy of Georgiena's proposal is attached. Her hourly rate of $55 is very competitive.
She suggests a total fee of $6,480 but, considering potential for unanticipated problems I
would prefer a $10,000 cap on the contract. The previously approved standard contract
form would be used, with the amount of Commercial General Liability Insurance for this
initial work set at $100,000.In the event the Commission is pleased with Georgiena's work
and supports expanding the contract to participate in the Congestion Management Plan
work activities, the insurance amount may be amended.
BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation of the Budget and Finance Committee will be presented during the
meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
RCTC should approve a contract with Valley Research and Planning Associates for
development of a detailed work program for preparation of the initial Congestion
Management Program, with costs not to exceed $10,000.

BUDGET/FINANCE AGENDA ITEM NO. 3
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
July 11, 1990
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Mark T. Massman, Measure A Project Manager
Kim T. Shultz, Measure A Project Coordinator
THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Consultant Agreement with Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Quade and Douglas for
Preliminary Design and Environmental Analysis of the I-215 Project
In the joint RCTC/SanBAG meeting of February 1990, agreement was reached
cooperatively to participate in and fund project development work on the Interstate 215
Project. The primary element of the preliminary project development phase is conceptual
design engineering and environmental analysis. As a result of the competitive consultant
selection process, staff previously recommended the consulting firm of Parsons,
Brinckerhoff, Quade and Douglas, Inc. (PBQ&D) to complete all aspects of this phase of
the project. Staff has since negotiated a scope of work and cost proposal with PBQ&D
(attached) to complete this phase of the I-215 Project.
The major elements in the scope of work include preliminary design engineering, traffic
analysis, and environmental studies; leading to approval of the Project Report and
Environmental Impact Report/Statement (EIR/EIS). PBQ&D also will play a pivotal role
in coordinating parallel support efforts of other consultant firms performing survey work,
aerial photogrammetric mapping, and geotechnical analysis for the I-215 Project.
The RCTC, through Bechtel's project management services, will administer the consultant
contract, while SanBAG will participate in the Project Development Team and assist in
setting policy direction where appropriate. Caltrans will provide project technical review
and oversight to ensure adherence to State and Federal highway design and environmental
standards and regulations.
The total cost of the Consultant Agreement with PBQ&D is $2,810,682. Pursuant to the
cost sharing formula executed with SanBAG, RCTC's share of costs under this agreement
would be approximately $2,110,000. SanBAG's share of the costs, approximately
$700,000, will be received on a reimbursement basis.
PBQ&D Consultant Agreement
Page 2
SanBAG also will fund a proportionate share of RCTC's management costs for administering
the project development process.
Staff is still pursuing commitment of Caltrans funding for preliminary project development,
Phase 0 activities. Caltrans indicated they will not be able to fund all Phase 0 work at this
time; however, in recognition of RCTC's funding of Phase 0 activity Caltrans has suggested
enhancements to the Master Agreement discussed under a separate agenda item. Staff
believes work should proceed with the I-215 Project under this enhanced Master
Agreement.
The recently approved standard consultant agreement has been modified (identified in bold
print) through negotiations with the consultant, PBQ&D. These changes are acceptable to
staff and RCTC Legal Counsel. An additional contract amendment is currently under
review by the respective legal counsels. Staff expects this issue will be resolved by the
Commission meeting and appropriate amendments made to the agreement prior to
execution.
BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The recommendation of the Budget and Finance Committee will be presented during the
meeting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Subject to ratification of the Cooperative Agreement with Caltrans, staff recommends:
1. The Commission approve the Consultant Agreement with Parsons, Brinckerhoff,
Quade and Douglas, Inc., in the amount of $2,810,682, with a 15 percent
contingency amount of $421,602 for a maximum contract amount of $3,232,284.
Funds for this contract are included in the FY 1990-1991 budget.

TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Mark Massman, Measure A Project Manager
Bill Hughes, Project Coordinator
THROUGH: Jack Reagan, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to Psomas and Associates Contract R090007
Digital mapping is an expensive long lead time item required for the final design of a
project. Digital mapping is also useful and desirable for the preliminary engineering and
environmental phases of project development. Previously, staff has recommended and the
Commission approved proceeding with digital mapping for the Route 215 project. Staff is
now recommending proceeding with digital mapping efforts for most of the rest of the
Measure A highway projects in Western Riverside County including Routes 74, 79, and
one-half of Route 91. Caltrans has also requested our help with digital mapping efforts for
Route 60.
Included in your agenda package is a proposed amendment to our contract with Psomas
and Associates. This amendment will expand the existing agreement to include Tasks 3, 4,
5, and 6 which will provide survey quality control, the establishment of primary horizontal
and vertical survey control, and the placement of photo ground targets for portions of the
Measure A projects associated with State Routes 60, 74, 79 and 91. Additional aerial
photography and mapping contracts with the survey firms assigned to each of these Routes
will follow in the coming months.
This amendment will also revise the indemnification clause of the contract to conform to
the approved form and content currently contained in the model contract approved by the
Commission under item 12D of the June 13 Agenda.
General Scope of Work
The general conditions of the original agreement will also be applicable to the new Tasks.
All work will be performed to Caltrans standards and will be subject to review and
approval of the designated Caltrans personnel. The following specific scope items shall be
performed for each of the new Task items considered under this amendment unless noted
otherwise.

b. The primary horizontal and vertical survey control will be established for
each route for the specified project limits.
c. Centerline and wing point photo targets will be set and locations documented
for aerial photography and digital mapping.
d. The aerial triangulation calculations of the photo diapositives created by
others will be checked.
e. Spot checking of digital mapping created by others will be performed as
directed by Caltrans and RCTC.
For State Route 60, only items b and c above will be performed; the remainder of the work
will be performed by Caltrans. See attached letters dated June 26 and 27 from Don
Weaver/Frank Hearth requesting RCTC to contract this scope of work for State Route 60
for the project limits listed above.

BUDGET/FINANCE AGENDA ITEM NO. 5
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
July 5, 1990
TO: Budget and Finance Committee (Commissioners Beirich, Lopez, Murphy)
FROM: Naty Kopenhaver, RCTC
SUBJECT: Copier for RCTC Office
The Commission's budget for FY 1990-91 included the leasing of a copier. Staff contacted
various copier manufacturers and requested proposals. Proposals were received for the
following copiers: Xerox, Kodak, Mita, Panasonic, Minolta.
Staff averages 35,000 copies per month. The average number of copies for RCTC's agenda
packet is approximately 19,000 copies. The numbers will likely increase due to project
contracts that will be before the Commission and information material to be developed for
various Commission programs. Also, staff has to meet a deadline in producing and mailing
the agenda and, therefore, a reliable and high speed copier is needed. In reviewing the
features of the copiers, Kodak and Xerox appeared to be the two copiers that would meet our
needs. Kodak and Xerox granted our request to try out their copiers for a two -week period.
Staff found that the Xerox copier is faster (92 cpm) and, therefore, less staff time is needed
to produce voluminous material such as the agenda. The noise level for Xerox is less; this
is very important because of the office's open space design. During the tryout period, the
Kodak machine jammed and broke down a number of times while the Xerox machine
reproduced the RCTC agenda with no difficulty. Also, the Kodak machine does not have
enlargement capability, which is needed for maps, etc. Given the results, staff recommends
that the Committee authorize the leasing of the Xerox copier.
