corridors to be developed. In addition, sensitive environmental areas should be
identified for future preservation efforts. If agreement can be obtained for the
necessary corridor improvements and habitat preservation in a combined process, the
time necessary to obtain all of the necessary approvals could be greatly reduced. A
further advantage of having necessary corridor improvements identified and cleared,
at least to a Tier I level of approval, would be that it would greatly assist future
efforts to obtain funding for the needed improvements. Proceeding with this planning
study at this time will allow us to coordinate this study with general plan updates of
the County and Cities that are impacted, and the development of an Expenditure Plan
for extending the local sales tax for transportation programs. Once the corridors and
habitat areas have been identified and agreed upon, the impacted general plans will
need to be updated to incorporate the appropriate land use and arterial feeder
systems.
The actual details of the cost and schedule of such an undertaking is unknown at this
time. Staff recommends that a scoping effort be authorized by the Commission.
Funding for the scoping effort could be obtained by redirecting TDA Planning funding
currently remaining from the recently completed Corona By Pass study. Funding for
the actual study could come from a combination of several sources including the 2%
planning money established by SB45. Staff would propose working with Dangermond
& Associates to prepare the scoping documents for this effort since they have been
at the forefront of this effort to move the CETAP process forward. In addition,
Bechtel can make Mike Davis, the previous Environmental Manager for RCTC,
available to assist in the scoping effort. His services, through June 1998, can be
covered under the current Bechtel Agreement with RCTC.
Financial Assessment
Project Cost
Initial cost $25,000 for Dangermond & Associates

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
April 1, 1998
TO:
Administrative Review
FROM:
Cathy Bechtel, Program Manager
THROUGH:
Eric Haley, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
FY 1998 State Transit Assistance Incentive Bonus
In December 1995, the Commission approved a policy to allocate 90% of the State
Transit Assistance (STA) funds based on population to each apportionment area,
consistent with State TDA guidelines. It was also approved to set aside 10% of the
funds off the top for allocation on an incentive award basis. In FY 1998, $241,852
was set aside for this incentive award and the Commission was advised that the
transit operators would be convened to develop a proposal on how to award the
bonus this year.
The operators met on March 16 and they are recommending that this 10% bonus
money be thrown back into the pot and allocated on the population formula basis as
is done with the balance of the discretionary STA funds. This would make $184,436
available to the Western County area (which would be further divided 80/20 between
bus and rail per Commission policy), $53,356 available in the Coachella Valley, and
$4,060 in the Palo Verde Valley,- They also are recommending that no 10% bonus
be set aside for FY 1999; they would prefer that the full discretionary pot be allocated
on the population basis so that they can more appropriately plan for the use of the
funds in FY 1999.

That the Commission:
1) Allocate the $241,852 in State Transit Assistance discretionary funds using the
population formula basis as was done with the balance of the discretionary

2) That the entire discretionary pot of State Transit Assistance funds available in
FY 1999 be allocated based on population to each apportionment area,
consistent with State TDA guidelines.

BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTION
In August of 1990 the Commission approved Agreement No. RO-9101 with URS
Greiner for Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Services, for the Route 91,
Magnolia to SR 60/1-215 Interchange Median Widening Project.
During the initial project study stage it became apparent that a full standard project,
from Magnolia to the SR 60/1-215 Interchange, would result in significant
environmental impacts, extensive right-of-way acquisition and an EIS/EIR requirement.
Therefore, in May of 1991 the Commission approved Amendment #1 to RO-9101
with URS Greiner to expand their scope of services to include a range of alternatives
from reduced to full standard, focusing on a project that could be implemented in the
short term. In June of 1991 Caltrans, RCTC, the City of Riverside, the County of
Riverside, and FHWA agreed to move forward with a HOV median widening project
with reduced project limits from Magnolia to Mary Streets in the City of Riverside.
During the design of the Rt 91, Magnolia to Mary, HOV median widening project there
was a disagreement between the City of Riverside and Caltrans concerning the
location, height, and esthetics of the sound walls to be built. There was no
disagreement on the need for the sound walls. The Noise Barrier Analysis performed
for the project in March of 1992 indicated that the existing noise levels within the
project limits either met or exceeded the accepted noise limits at that time and that
there were virtually no noise barriers within the project limits. In an effort not to delay
the construction of the roadway improvements until this sound wall issue was
resolved, Caltrans, the City of Riverside, and RCTC mutually agreed to proceed with
the roadway improvements separately and delay the construction of the sound walls
to a latter date. The construction of the Rt 91, Magnolia to Mary, HOV median
widening project was complete and open to traffic in the Spring of 1995.
In April and May of 1996, both the City of Riverside and RCTC agreed on the
selection of the Phase 1 Sound Walls between Magnolia to Mary streets. The
following Table lists the locations of each of the Sound Walls included in Phase I.

DISCUSSION
The following addresses the four findings that are required for adoption of the
resolution of necessity:
(1) THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND NECESSITY REQUIRE THE PROPOSED PROJECT
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has adopted noise abatement criteria for
highway construction projects. The criteria are based in the Equivalent Noise Level
(LEQ) in the peak noise hour of the day. The FHWA has set 67 dBA LEQ as the noise
level that is acceptable on the exterior of a residence adjacent to a highway facility.
All new highway projects must study the potential of increased noise that may occur
due to the construction of the new highway facility. This study must include present
and projected noise levels that would occur with and without the construction of the
new highway facility. Any future noise levels that exceed 67 dBA LEQ must be
mitigated. The mitigation usually requires the construction of a sound wall that would
reduce the future noise levels to within the acceptable FHWA stated limits. The Noise
Barrier Analysis performed for the Route 91, Magnolia to Mary Project, in March of
1992, indicates that the existing noise levels within the project limits either met or
exceeded the accepted noise limits at that time, the future noise levels, with and
without the project, far exceeded the accepted noise limits, and that there were
virtually no noise barriers within the project limits. The construction of the sound
walls are required to reduce the present noise levels and the projected future noise
levels to an acceptable level. The public interest and necessity require the proposed
project.
(2) THE PROJECT IS PLANNED OR LOCATED IN A MANNER THAT WILL BE MOST
COMPATIBLE WITH THE GREATEST PUBLIC GOOD AND THE LEAST PRIVATE
INJURY
The design of each sound wall has been done in such a manner to obtain a balance
between maximizing the noise abatement potential of the sound wall while minimizing
the potential visual and aesthetic impacts to the adjacent property owners. The
placement, height, shape, color, and contour of each sound wall was studied and the
final design of each sound wall was mutually agreed upon by Caltrans, RCTC, and the
City of Riverside. The project has been planned and located in a manner that will be
most compatible with the greatest public good and least private injury.
(3) THE TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION EASEMENTS ARE NECESSARY FOR THE
PROJECT
The sound walls are to be constructed with the far edge of the sound wall foundation
on the property right-of-way line necessitating the need for the temporary
construction easements. The temporary construction easements will allow for
construction activities to clear the construction area of vegetation, erect temporary
fencing, tear down existing property fences, construct the new sound wall, and finally
extend existing side fences to the new sound wall. Without the temporary

At the January 14, 1998 meeting of RCTC, the Commission authorized staff to
advertise for receipt of construction bids for the Phase I Sound Wall Project. The
current due date for all bids to be received by RCT is March 31, 1998. Pending the
finalization of all temporary construction easements required for the project, the bids
will be opened on March 31, 1998, reviewed, and evaluated prior to the April 8,
1998 Commission meeting. Staff will make its recommendation of the lowest
responsive bidder to the Commission, for its approval, at the April 8, 1998
Commission meeting. This project will take approximately 8 months to construct after
notice to proceed.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
April 1, 1998
TO:
Administrative Review
FROM:
Bill Hughes, Bechtel Project Manager
THROUGH:
Paul Blackwelder, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Approval to Advertise a Request for Proposal (RFP) to Provide
Support for Construction Support Services Related to Landscaping
Projects on State Route 91 and Yuma Drive Interchange.
Several major landscaping projects will soon be under construction that will require
construction management services by RCTC. These projects include the State Route
91 Noise Walls and the Yuma Drive Interchange. The majority of the construction
management oversight will be provided by Bechtel. However, based on recent
Caltrans requirements, the State will require that the landscaping construction
contracts have a landscape architect available to oversee critical components of the
landscaping installation. Staff is therefore recommending that RCTC select a firm that
can provide the on -call landscape architect to full fill these requirements in a similar
fashion as RCTC selected firms to provide material testing and surveying services to
support the construction management activities.
A request for proposals (RFP) will be prepared and distributed to all interested firms.
A selection panel will be formed to review the proposals received. The panel will be
composed of members from Caltrans, the City of Riverside, RCTC and Bechtel. After
the top ranked firm has been identified based on qualifications, RCTC Staff will
negotiate the scope of work to be performed with the selected firm. The results of
the selection panel and the scoping negotiations will be brought back for Commission
for review and approval.

That the commission direct Staff to advertise and select a qualified firm to provide
Landscaping On -Call services to support the construction management activities
related to the construction of landscaping for the State Route 91 Noise Walls and the
Yuma Drive Interchange. Following the selection process, Staff will negotiate a cost
for the scope of services with the selected firm to deliver the required PS&E package.
The results of the selection process, scope of services and cost to perform the work
will be brought back to the Commission for review and approval.

The next stage of project development would be to perform a Project Study Report
or a combined Project Study Report and Project Report. If the Project Report is
undertaken, the environmental clearance could be obtained at the same time. A
portion of this process could be combined with the Community & Environmental
Transportation Approval Process (CETAP) process discussed separately in this
agenda, or it could move forward as a stand-a-Ione process.
Funding for the next phase of studies could come from various sources including
federal demonstration funds requested by the cities of Hemet and San Jacinto in the
next authorization of ISTEA or the 2% planning money included with SB 45.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
1. Receive and file State Route 79 Realignment Study.
2. Direct Staff to study funding alternatives for the Project Study Report, Project
Report, and environmental clearance studies and report back to the
Commission with a proposed plan of action.

of a majority of the construction submittals and requests for information that are
submitted by the contractor. The original base budget for F.R. Harris to provide
construction support services was set at $30,000.00 until the number of submittals
and requests of information could be estimated. After the first three months of
construction, approximately 23% of the work effort by F.R. Harris has been
completed but it is clear that the remaining budget will not be adequate to handle the
remaining tasks that must be addressed by the Engineer of Record. Staff and F.R.
Harris are in agreement with the work effort and cost to date. Staff has worked with
F.R. Harris and is in agreement with the remaining scope of construction support
services and respective costs required of F.R. Harris to support the remaining work
required to complete construction of the project. Staff is requesting that the current
F.R. Harris construction support budget of $30,000 be increased by 550,000 for a
total construction support budget not to exceed $80,000.
Currently, construction inspection services for the project are being provided by
Bechtel, the County of Riverside, and Ninyo & Moore. However, the construction of
the project also requires speciality inspection of Electrical/Mechanical/Security
Systems/CCTV installation. The F.R. Harris design team included subconsultants that
could readily provide the special inspection services required. After a review of all
of the available options, Staff believes that the most cost effective manner in which
the speciality inspection can be provided is through F.R. Harris subconsultants. Staff
requested that F.R. Harris estimate the cost involved in providing the additional
construction inspection services identified above. F.R. Harris estimates that these
services will not exceed $20,000.
The total proposed increase to the F.R. Harris contract through Amendment 2 will be
$95,640 ($25,640 + 550,000 + $20,000). Staff recommends that the existing extra
work be increase by $10,000 by Amendment 2 to provide a total extra work budget
of $26,291. The complete contract history is shown in Table 1(attached).
Amendment 2 = $95,640 + $10,000 additional
extra work.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:
April 1, 1998
TO:
Administrative Review
FROM:
Susan Cornelison, Rail Program Manager
THROUGH:
Eric Haley, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Agreement with Amtrak for Special Train Ticketing
Ticket sales for this summer's Beach Trains will be conducted by the City of
Riverside Park and Recreation Department and the City of Rialto. In an effort to
provide more flexibility for prospective passengers, staff has been negotiating with
Amtrak to act as an additional ticketing outlet. By including Beach Trains on
Amtrak's national computer, passengers who cannot go to city offices during
business hours, or who neglect to mail ticket orders in a timely fashion, may still
purchase remaining tickets from San Bernardino's Amtrak agent late at night or even
the morning of travel. Those persons wishing to use credit cards may also order
tickets by telephoning Amtrak's reservation center at 1 -800 -USA -RAIL.
In exchange for this service, Amtrak will charge a service fee of 20% of the ticket
price, so tickets available from Amtrak will cost the consumer 20% more with no
costs borne by the Beach Train program or the Commission.
The attached agreement reflects the established terms and is currently be reviewed
by counsels to both parties.
