Staff worked with Ken Lobec - Coachella Valley Association of Governments, Bob Spilsbury - Riverside County's vendor, and County of Riverside's General Services Agency to determine a proposal for audio and video conferencing equipment for the Commission. Based on the conference room layout, the Concorde 4500 system unit is proposed. It includes three power microphones, two monitors (one facing the conference table and one facing the audience), a power camera with a look -at -me feature. The monitor is able to show the participants at four sites. It was determined that the look -at -me feature, rather than the voice -activated feature, would work best for the Commission because of the number of participants at its meetings. The voice -activated equipment functions by sound and the camera tends to focus in the direction of where the sounds are coming from and would be difficult to manage especially with a large number of participants sitting at the conference table and audience attending the meetings. The Concorde 4500 system unit, including installation and maintenance, totals $73,955.10. Having an audio and video conferencing equipment at RCTC office would provide another option for Commissioners and staff to participate at meetings located outside its facility as well as for Commissioners from the mid -valley and Coachella Valley area take part in meetings if they do not have sufficient time to drive to Riverside to attend meetings. There were two Special Meetings set up within a 24 -hour period over the last two months and the Commission located its meetings at the County of Riverside Board of Supervisors' Conference and the Coachella Valley members were able to participate at the meetings through the use of the County's audio and video conference system. Attached is the price list proposed by GTE as well as the room layout for the audio and video conference system unit. 000005 Financial Assessment Project Cost $73,955.10 Source of Funds Administration Included in Fiscal Year Budget N Year Included in Program Budget N Year Programmed Approved Allocation N Year of Allocation Budget Adjustment Required Y STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Budget and Finance Committee approve the purchase of the Concorde 4500 audio and video conference equipment, including installation and maintenance for one year at $73,955.10. nk Attachments 000006 County of Riverside Transportation Commission Proposed Videoconferencing Solution 6' Cable Trip Guard Recommended Power Requirement: 1 Quad nutlet 110V AC within 6' of the Concorde Network Requirement: 3 BR: ISDN Lines ' 6' Cable Trip Guard Recommended 1 Rev. 216/96 Eric Sasaki 003007 CEO GTE Price Quotation 2/2/98 County of Riverside Tran spo rtation Commissio n Reference PO# Quantity Part # GTE Mat Co de Descriptio n GTE Un it Price GTE Extended Price 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 2 1 1 1 1 2 4 1 S4500ZXN449US032 S45X-CK-A S4ZX-LK-E WCART-G MBV-BRI4U MBHD-449PT KV-35S26GRAY RPC-2 TPD DOCCAM PRV-120 MIC-1-EXT 3PK-LAMB-E LAMB -E 481760 CONCORDE 4500 LIMELIGHT 30FPS WORLD CART 443282 CONCO RDE 4500 COUNTRY KIT 443285 CONCO RDE 4500 LANGUAGE KIT 443067 WORLD CART SECOND DUAL DISPLAY 429591 ISDN IMUX 3BRI W/ U INTERFACE 360187 DB44M/DB37F CABLE 407514 MOTOROLA ISDN NT1 S/A 514959 SONY 35" COLOR TV 459294 POWERCAM 100 W/ PTZ & 50' CABLE 388244 TRIPOD FOR REMOTE PTZ CAMERA 506838 CANON NTSC DOCUMENT CAMERA 388249 3" PREVIEW DISPLAY FOR DO CUMENT CAMERA 400988 PO WERMIC DIRECTIONAL MIC 10' AND 25' CABLE 443075 3PK LOOK AT ME BUTTONS 443074 LOOK AT ME BUTTON $38,064.00 $0.00 $0 .00 52,760,00 51,990.31 5158 .58 5156 .60 $1,293 .81 54,800 .00 $480 .00 53,360 .00 5258 .75 $856 .24 $1,150.00 5460.00 $38,064 .00 50 .00 50.00 52,760.00 $1,990 .31 5158.58 5469.80 52,587.62 54,800 .00 5480 .00 53,360 .00 $258 .75 51,712 .48 54,600 .00 $460.00 Equipment Total: Labor T otal: Maintenance T otal: Subtotal: 7.75 % Sales Tax: $61,701.54 $2,630 .00 54,304.28 $68,635 .82 55,319 .28 T otal: 573,955 .10 AGENDA ITEM 5B RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: March 4, 1998 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: W. Dean Martin, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Bi-Annual Measure A Sales Tax Projections The backbone of the Measure A program are the revenues generated by the sales tax. Those revenues must be continually monitored and updated to ensure that the Commission's decisions on strategic direction are based on the most current data available. In fact, the Commission has established a policy that requires bi-annual update to those projections. The last projection was performed in February 1996 and was the basis for the Measure A revenue estimate found in the Measure A Vision and Strategy Issue Paper adopted by the Commission in September 1996. The Commission is currently reviewing its list of project priorities in light of the expanded responsibilities enabled by SB45. Additionally, both the Commission's management and financial auditors are recommending that the strategic plan of the Commission be reviewed and revised as needed. These two factors are added reasons for performing a review of our projections. In the past the Commission has contracted out the completion of those projections. Ernst & Young performed the February projection and our results to date have been consistent with those projections. Since the model used by E & Y appears to have reasonably predicted the level of sales tax revenues, staff recommends that we contract with E & Y to complete the 1998 Measure A sales tax projections in an amount not to exceed $45,000.

Although, not required by law or code the Commission has set a policy requiring a mid year course correction by revising the budget to reflect updated and more current information. Staff is pleased to present to the Commission the Revised Budget for fiscal year ending June 30, 1998. The following schedules are provided to assist the Commission in analyzing the Revised Budget and its financial impact.

With an expanding economy, Riverside County is experiencing strong growth in taxable sales. Through December 1997 sales tax revenues had increased 9.1% over the prior year quarter. With that reality, the estimate for 1998 has been adjusted upward from $59.541,000 to $60,782,6017 with the assumption that the second half of the year will perform at least as well as the first six months. TDA Transit Allocation. Expected revenues have been slightly reduced to reflect the actual final numbers for the Commission's share of the Metrolink annual operating budget. The original budgeted amount of $4,274,794 was preliminary pending final adoption of the SCRRA 1998 budget. Other Reimbursements. The budget has been nearly reduced by half due principally to project delays. The constnlction of the southside platform at the Downtown Riverside Station will continue into fiscal year I999. The delays are attributable to inclement weather and further examination and study of initial construction bids which exceeded original engineer's estimates. Approximately half($3.5 million) of the reimbursement revenues from state rail bonds have been removed and will be rebudgeted for 1999. CMAQ(Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality) funding for improvements to the San Jacinto Branch line in the amount of $I,765,000 have been removed. Negotiation with Santa Fe for the purchase of the freight use rights is ongoing. A portion of these funds will be rebudgeted in the 1999 budget. Construction of soundwalls along Route 60 has been delayed pending approval of funding by Caltrans. Ultimate management of construction of the project has not yet been determined. Given these uncertainties reimbursement revenues in the amount of $1,875.000 have been removed from the budget. Other revenue. Track improvements for the southside platform(Downtown Riverside Station) will be completed by Santa Fe. It was originally assumed in the budget that the Commission would pay for the needed improvements and then bill Union Pacific. However, it has been determined that Santa Fe will complete the improvements and directly bill Union Pacific. The budget amount has therefore been reduced by $I.5 million. Debt proceeds. The debt proceeds retired the Commission's outstanding commercial paper notes. The increase in the budgeted amount reflects the actual proceeds from the August 97 issue. The amount is higher than the original budget due to a last minute loan request from the City of Temecula. 000021 EXPENDITURES Personnel salary and fringe_ The reduction of $107,869 assumes that positions which currently are unfilled(Assistant Director of Legislation and Programming and Secretary II) will not be filled in time for the currem budget year. Capital Outlay. New call box in fills totaling $140,000 have been included in the revised budget. The new call boxes will be added along State Route 177, Highway 111 and State Route 79. The remaining increase is to cover updates to the Commission's computer system and to purchase video teleconferencing equipment. Projects General. The Bechtel contract has been increased to reflect construction management services for the southside platform at the Downtown Riverside Station and the work for CVAG on the Project Study Reports for the 1-10 interchanges. Highway/Rail Engineering. Design of La Sierra/West Corona over crossings was budgeted at $500,000 and has now been reduced to S257,000 based on definitive design estimate. Actual design for the southside platform was budgeted at $548,000 for FY98. Design was accelurated in the prior year reducing the amount required to complete in FY98 to $275,000. Van Buren interchange design of $500,000 has been deleted from the budget as it now appears the project will not proceed until the 1999 fiscal year. Ethanac corridor study for $500,000 has been deleted based on Commission action to not move forward with this project. Additions include $317,000 for various design projects along Route 111 expected to be completed in 1997, but are now scheduled for 1998. This amount will be funded with carryover from the 1997 budget. Highway/Rail Construction. A number of projects have been removed from the revised budget as a result of timing delays. The southside platform, originally budgeted at $6.5 million for the current year, has been reduced to $3.0 million, with the remaining amount deferred to the 1999 budget. San Jacinto track improvements for $1.8 million has been indefinitely postponed as negotiations with Santa Fe proceed. Soundwalls along Route 60 are not currently anticipated to be completed in fiscal 1998 resulting in a budget reduction of $1.8 million. These reductions have been partially offset by increasing the construction budget for the Date Palm Drive street scope project along Route 111 in Cathedral City -from just under $1.0 million to approximately $3.2 million. Construction of soundwalls along Route 91 has been reduced by $1.5 million and will be carried over to the 1999 fiscal year. Revised budget reflects payment of $900,000 to the City of Riverside for the Eastridge interchange, a commitment the Commission approved in the very early stages of Measure A. Monterey construction in the City Palm Desert in the amount of $942,000 has been carried over 000022 from the 1997 budget. The Commission is paying a claim settlement for Route 86 in the amount of $545,000. About $300,000 had been set aside in contingency to cover this construction claim. The additional amount is for prior engineering costs not previously billed by Caltrans. Median barrier work on Route 79 was not completed in 1997 as planned. The project wa; put on hold in order to resolve the fill slope repairs. The remaining cost of $187,000 has been carried forward from the 1997 budget. Highway/Rail ROW. Easements for soundwall construction along Route 91 were budgeted for 1997 but not completed. Most of those easement purchases are occurring in the current fiscal year . The revised budget has been adjusted upward by $130,000 for those purchases. Right of way purchases for the Cathedral City Date Palm Drive street scape have been added in the amount of $1,155,000. The purchase of the Atco Rubber property for the southside platform was originally budgeted in 1997 and has been carried over to 1998 in the amount of $270,000. Right of way purchased for the Monroe to Rubidioux project has been moved from the 1997 budget to the 1998 revised budget in the amount of $250,000. Final property settlements and right of way support services for Route 79 in the amount of 5280,000 has been carried over from the 1997 budget. LTF Disbursements. The increase of 210% is principally attributable to budgeting the planning disbursement for WRCOG in the amount of $190,000. The remaining $20,000 was an increase in the CVAG allocation based on the final approved amount. Regional Arterial. The increase represents unexpended amounts carried over from the 1997 budget_ Contingency. The contingency has been increased $351,000 to comply with the Commission's policy to have at least a two percent(2%) contingency(based on total costs excluding operating transfers). General fund contingencies were augmented by additional amounts to cover costs far potential litigation and/or settlements. 000023 AGENDA ITEM 6A RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: March 4, 1998 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Shirley Medina, Staff Analyst 11 THROUGH: Norm King, Interim Executive Director SUBJECT: City of Murrieta Request to Transfer Surface Transportation Program Discretionary Funds The City of Murrieta has requested to transfer Surface Transportation Program (STP) discretionary and formula funds from previously programmed projects on Jefferson Avenue to another programmed project on Murrieta Hot Springs Road. The project on Jefferson Avenue will be expedited by the transfer of local funds off the Murrieta Hot Springs Road project. In December 1994, the Riverside County Transportation Commission approved the following policy on substitution of STP discretionary funds: "To allow the substitution of two projects in STP discretionary funding categories or 20% of an agency's overall budget (whichever is larger) by fund type. The substituting agency must provide written certification that the substituted projects are of comparable value both financially and public benefit wise with respect to the projects they are replacing. Agencies requesting specific project substitution(s) must bring such requests before the Commission for review, consideration and action." This is the city's first request for reprogramming STP discretionary funds. Formula funds are not subject to the substitution policy since each local agency has a set amount of funds to program at their discretion. The City of Murrieta has provided certification that the project on Jefferson Avenue is scheduled for construction (see attached). The transfer of funds is consistent with staffs' encouragement of implementing projects in a timely manner. It also stresses the importance of utilizing federal funds for projects which must undergo federal processes, and freeing up local projects from unnecessary federal requirements. An administrative amendment to the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) will be necessary to reflect the above changes. This will take place in the next administrative amendment. 000024 Financial Assessment Project Cost $664,000 Source of Funds K`'C'riR�. �e ' ; k\.\:>»?; AL,,,,' .

The PS&E was submitted for review to Caltrans when NBS/Lowry went out of business. As a result of the design reviews performed by Caltrans, the City of Palm Springs, and the various utilities, several design changes were required in order to complete the design package to everyone's satisfaction. Engineering Resources is a relatively new firm that is composed of many of the previous employees of NBS/Lowry. When RCTC awarded Engineering Resources the Park and Ride Lot on Pigeon Pass Road, Engineering Resources agreed to also attempt to bring closure to the Gene Autry Trail PS&E package. At that time it was believed that the scope of work was very small. Unfortunately, the number of comments on the original design that was previously agreed by everyone continued to grow and the cost to complete the project went beyond what Engineering Resources could absorb in their overhead. At the present time Engineering Resources has spent $4,947.54 and up until now has not asked to be compensated by the Commission for its services relating to the Gene Autry Trail project. Engineering Resources estimates that an additional $6,581.98 will be required to address all of the outstanding changes that will be required. This will bring the total amount to $11,529.52. The complete scope of work for both work performed and work to be performed is attached in the Letter of December 23, 1997 from Engineering Resources. Note: RO-9219 with NBS/Lowry currently has extra work remaining in excess of $20,000.

NC. 100.000P December 23, 1997 Mr. William R. Hughes, P.E. Riverside County Transportation Commission 3560 University Avenue, Suite 100 Riverside CA 92501 039621 RECEIVE, DEC 2s BECHTEL CORP Piuwsidp Mrs INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS - GENE AUTRY TRAIL AT EAST PALM CANYON DRIVE Dear Bill: I have prepared the enclosed proposal for completing the intersection improvements at Gene Autry Trail and East Palm Canyon Drive in the City of Palm Springs in response to our recent conversations. Before this date, we have been working with the City of Palm Springs and Caltrans in an attempt to acquire an encroachment. Unfortunately, the costs associated with this effort have escalated beyond a level that we can bare. Therefore, the enclosed proposal is presented to identify the work effort to -date and the costs associated with this effort. In addition, we have identified the tasks necessary to complete the plans and acquire an encroachment permit. To complete the project, several issues must be resolved. These issues are the result of comments from Caltrans and comments from utility companies prompted by notification sent after Dave Barakian with the City of Palm Springs signed the plans. These issues include right-of-way, the traffic signal design and relocation or protection of existing underground utilities. PJGHT-OF-War The current design calls for widening the north side of East Palm Canyon Drive between Gene Autry Trail and Broadmoor. Within this area, the City has the right to construct and maintain sidewalk, bikepaths, drainage facilities, landscaping and utilities by virtue of the recordation of Tract No. 14116. This tract map also offers for this same area for street purposes, however, the City Council did not accept this offer at the time the map was recorded. 3550 E. FLOmIGA AVE. Sunt B Hoar, (A 92544 (9091765.6622 (9091765.6621 FAX 000029 100.000P Mr. William R. Hughes, P.E. Riverside County Transportation Commission December 23, 1997 Page 2 The Caltrans Right -of -Way Section has raised the issue of the State's right to maintain a facility within an area to which it has no legal rights. I have discussed this issue at length with Scott Neff, Caltrans Permit Engnecr, but I have no confidence in his suggested resolution. I have suggested to Scott that the City Council could act on the offer of Lots "C" and "D" for dedication as street right-of-way by way of a Council Resolution. This action would provide the City with the right to construct and maintain roadway improvements within the 60 foot strip of land shown as Lots "C" and "D"on Tract No. 14116. Based on this discussion, Scott has suggested that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to him after Council has acted and this will resolve this issue. However, what remains unclear to me is how this will provide Caltrans with the documentation they require. Therefore, the attached Scope of Services for completing the project assumes that we will be preparing a legal description and plat map. This assumption will provide enough budget for any involvement we might have in this issue whether resolution is a quitclaim deed, or consent to common use agreement. It is my opinion, the City will end up quitclaiming the rights to a portion of the existing right-of-way. The area impacted is defined by the existing back of curb and the back of the proposed curb. TRAFFIC SIGNAL PLANS In their November 25, 1997 letter, Caltrans has requested numerous revisions to the current traffic signal plan. The most troubling of these suggestions is the relocation of Pole E from its current location on the south east corner of East Palm Canyon Drive and Gene Autry Trail. The relocation is suggested because Caltrans believes the luminaires (safety lighting) will be in conflict with existing the existing power lines along the south side of East Palm Canyon Drive. A review of the construction drawings indicates relocation of Pole E will not improve the clearance between the luminaires and the power lines. Currently, there is a luminaire in -place at this location which has not resulted in any conflict or safety hazard to date. Further, the proposed luminaire is approximately the same distance from the power lines as the existing luminaires The most expedient resolution is to eliminate the proposed luminaire and the easterly cross walk crossing East Palm Canyon Drive. However, this could result in operational difficulties with pedestrians crossing from the north to south side of East Palm Canyon Drive. The second more time consuming resolution is to locate the existing the existing power lines and incorporate the necessary changes into the relocation of power poles in the south west quadrant of 093030 100.000P Mr. William R. Hughes, P.E. Riverside County Transportation Commission December 23, 1997 Page 3 the intersection. SCE would first be contacted to determine the location of the existing conductors, if there is enough clearance the issue is resolved. However, if there is not adequate clearance, the vertical location could be altered during the previously mentioned relocation. The final resolution of this issue is contingent upon further discussions with SCE personnel regarding the existing vertical clearance and pending relocation or the City of Palm Springs' willingness to eliminate the easterly crosswalk. UTILITY COORDINATION When this project was submitted to Caftans for the most recent review, I also sent plans to the various utilities impacted by the project. In response, the Desert Water Agency has returned a heavily redlined set of bluelines. In subsequent conversations with Woody Adams of DWA, he has voiced strong concerns about this projects impact on their existing facilities. DWA operates a 24 -inch and a 12 -inch waterline within the project limits. Items of work impacting these facilities include rough grading the street core and parkway, storm drain installation, installation of the parkway drain and mounding and sidewalk construction in the parkway. The resolution of this issue seems to involve a complete review of the as -built drawings for DWA's facilities and an equally complete comparison of the proposed construction to these as-builts. Once this has been completed and the plans have been appropriately revised, if necessary, I will meet with Woody to provide the assurances he requires that this project can be constructed without impacting DWA's facilities or to clearly identify any relocations necessary and develop a plan for implementing said relocations. Please note, because of the uncertainty surrounding any possible relocations, the cost of developing construction drawings for waterline relocations are not included in the prices quoted herewith. Finally, for your review, I have prepared and enclosed the following exhibits: • Exhibit "A" - Scope of Services, Services Completed Prior to December 19, 1997 • Exhibit "B" - Fee Breakdown, Services Completed Prior to December 19, 1997 • Exhibit "C" - Scope of Services, Services Required for Caltrans Approval • Exhibit "D" - Fee Estimated, Services Required for Caltrans Approval 000031 100.000P Mr. William R.

At the April 1996 Commission meeting, the SR 91 noise walls that are required to mitigate the SR91 HOV lanes between Magnolia and Mary Streets were broken into two stages designated Phase I and Phase II. This action was taken to address funding availability and to be consistent with priorities set by the City of Riverside (see an attached letter from the City of Riverside dated April 1, 1996). At the January 1998 meeting, the Commission directed that the remainder of the Phase I walls be advertised for bid. These construction bids will be brought back to the Commission for review and award to the lowest responsive bidder at the April 8,1998 commission meeting. The Currently adopted Strategic Plan indicates the start of construction for the Phase II Noise Walls to be in the year 2000. The Phase II noise walls project will also include the construction of auxiliary lanes at various locations; the widening of under crossings at Monroe Street, and Jefferson Street; and the replacement of the Jackson Street overcrossing. The general scope of work that is required will be consistent with the findings of the engineering study dated December 1995 regarding the noise walls and auxiliary lanes that are required to be constructed to mitigate the HOV lanes previously constructed and improve the operations of the freeway by adding the necessary, auxiliary lanes. The completion of this project will complete the Measure A designated project of adding up to two lanes in each direction between Magnolia and Mary Streets. Because of the involvement of several structures, Staff feels that it is prudent to begin the selection and design process now to assure that the PS&E package will be completed in a timely fashion. At this time it is not anticipated that new right-of-way will have to be purchased for this project. The following tables indicate the scope of work to be included in the design package. 003037.

Walls adjoining Diana Avenue where it serves as a frontage road should be located a minimum of 5 feet from the edge of the Diana Avenue pavement and planted with an impenetrable landscape buffer. - Recommendation continue on following page - 003041 AGENDA ITEM 6D RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: March 4, 1998 TO: Budget and Finance Committee FROM: Ruthanne Taylor Berger, Director Transportation & Air Quality Program for WRCOG THROUGH: Paul Blackwelder SUBJECT: Joint Application to the Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) for SR 91 High Occupancy Toll Lane Feasibility/Air Quality Monitoring Demonstration The Commission at its 23 June 1997 meeting authorized $80,000 from LTF for RCTC to participate in a joint application (with SCAG, CE-CERT, OCTA, CPTC and Caltrans), to the MSRC to analyze the feasibility of extending the SR 91 toll road east to the junction of 1-15 and west in Orange County to the LA County line. Unfortunately, the proposal did not make it to the South Coast Air Quality Management District by 5:00 p.m. on the due date and consequently it was not accepted. The MSRC has again issued an RFP for Market -based Incentive projects. One of the categories is High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes demonstration projects, with a cap of $250,000 per project with a minimum 50% match. Background: The 1988 voter approved Measure A plan called for two additional lanes in each direction on SR 91 from just east of the I-15/SR91 Interchange to the Orange County line. The Measure has constructed one lane in each direction as exclusive HOV lanes. The current Measure A Strategic Plan funding program shows insufficient funds to construct the other two lanes on SR 91. RCTC's initial policy objections to toll roads has changed in the recent past due to the settlement with CPTC and a shortfall in traditional funding sources of transportation revenue. The Commission has expressed an interest in using toll options to add capacity to SR 91 and SR 71. The proposal recommends a phased approach. Phase I would use the existing HOV lanes and moveable barriers to create "zipper lanes" during the directional peak with one exclusive HOV and the other a toll facility. The tolls would be applied to longer term solutions for capacity enhancement to SR 91. It is anticipated that in the future the directional peak will equalize and the zipper lane will have to revert to an exclusive HOV lane. Phase 11 would be to use the projected toll revenue to build the additional two lanes and operate them like the current orange county toll road or apply the funds to an alternative solution. A key component of any MSRC project is the ability to demonstrate emission reductions. Our proposal is to use the CE-CERT comprehensive modal emissions 00J 4? model to estimate emission impacts of hot lanes on SR 91.
