ADJOURNMENT There being no further business for consideration by the Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 2:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Lisa Mobley Clerk of the Board AGENDA ITEM 7 Agenda Item 7 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: October 22, 2018 TO: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee FROM: Alex Menor, Capital Projects Manager THROUGH: Marlin Feenstra, Project Delivery Director SUBJECT: Agreements for On-Call Environmental Consulting Services STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Award the following agreements to provide on-call environmental consulting services for a three-year term, and one, two-year option to extend the agreements, in an amount not to exceed an aggregate value of $1.5 million; a) Agreement No. 19-31-015-00 to HDR Engineering, Inc.; b) Agreement No. 19-31-016-00 to LSA Associates, Inc.; and c) Agreement No. 19-31-017-00 to Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.; 2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreements, including option years, on behalf of the Commission; 3) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to execute task orders awarded to the consultants under the terms of the agreements; and 4) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission requires comprehensive on-call consulting services related to various environmental and archaeological services. These services include, but are not limited to, coordination with resources agencies, Caltrans and local jurisdictions; review of National Environmental Policy Act and California Environmental Quality Act documents; permitting preparation; monitoring and documentation of environmental commitments; and support of the Western Riverside County Multispecies Habitat Conservation Plan projects. While the Commission typically has most of the environmental-related consulting services described above accomplished through contracts for the preliminary engineering/environmental phase of a project, there are occasions in which these services will be needed outside the environmental phase. Examples of this include the need for permitting prior to construction, construction monitoring, or mitigation. 1 Agenda Item 7 The purpose of this procurement is to provide the Commission with these comprehensive on-call professional environmental consulting services for a variety of Commission capital projects with Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration funding projects like the State Route 60 Truck Lane Project, Interstate 15 Railroad Canyon Road Interchange Project, La Sierra Parking Lot, and Riverside Downtown Platform and Track Expansion Project. In September 2013, the Commission approved similar contracts with four firms for up to five-year terms; these contracts have been used successfully to deliver projects and react to new and changing conditions rapidly. The total authorized amount on those contracts was also $1.5 million, of which approximately $600,000 was expended. Procurement Process Pursuant to Government Code 4525 et seq, selection of architect, engineer, and related services shall be on the basis of demonstrated competence and on professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required. Therefore, staff used the qualification method of selection for the procurement. Evaluation criteria included elements such as qualifications of firm, staffing and project organization, project understanding and approach, and the ability to respond to the requirements set forth under the terms of a request for qualifications (RFQ). RFQ No. 18-31-170-00 for on-call environmental consulting services was released by staff on July 19, 2018. A public notice was advertised in the Press Enterprise, and the RFQ was posted on the Commission’s Planet Bids website, which is accessible through the Commission’s website. Through Planet Bids, 70 firms downloaded the RFQ; 10 of these firms are located in Riverside County. A pre-submittal meeting was held on July 26 and attended by 10 firms. Staff responded to all questions submitted by potential proposers prior to the August 7 clarification deadline. Eight firms – EPD Solutions, Inc. (Irvine); HDR Engineering, Inc. (Riverside); ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc. (Corona); Impact Sciences, Inc. (Pasadena); LSA Associates, Inc. (Irvine); Sapphos Environmental, Inc. (Pasadena); Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (San Bernardino); and Willdan Engineering (San Bernardino) – submitted responsive and responsible statements of qualifications prior to the 2:00 p.m. submittal deadline on August 22. Based on the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFQ, the firms were evaluated and scored by an evaluation committee comprised of Commission and Bechtel staff. As a result of the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written statements of qualifications, the evaluation committee determined two firms – HDR Engineering, Inc. and LSA Associates, Inc. – to be the most qualified firms to provide on-call environmental consulting services. Additionally, since the Commission intended to award up to three agreements for on-call environmental consulting services, the evaluation committee shortlisted and invited three firms – ICF Jones & Stokes, Inc.; Sapphos Environmental, Inc.; and Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. – to the interview phase of the evaluation and selection process. Interviews were conducted on 2 Agenda Item 7 September 13. Subsequently, the evaluation committee determined Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to be the most qualified firm from the interview phase to provide on-call environmental consulting services. As a result of the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written statements of qualifications and interviews, the evaluation committee recommends contract awards to HDR Engineering, Inc; LSA Associates, Inc.; and Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. for a three-year term, and one, two-year option to extend the agreements, in the aggregate amount of $1.5 million, as these firms earned the highest total evaluation scores. The multiple award, on-call, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity task order type contracts do not guarantee work to any of the awardees; therefore, no funds are guaranteed to any consultant. Pre-qualified consultants will be selected for specific tasks based on qualification information contained in their proposals and/or competitive fee proposals for the specific tasks. Services will be provided through the Commission’s issuance of contract task orders to the consultants on an as-needed basis. The Commission’s model on-call professional services agreement will be entered into with each consultant firm, subject to any changes approved by the Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review. Staff oversight of the contracts and task orders will maximize the effectiveness of the consultants and minimize costs to the Commission.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE. A. Consultant’s signature affixed herein shall constitute a certification under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that CONSULTANT has, unless exempt, complied with, the nondiscrimination program requirements of Government Code Section 12990 and Title 2, California Administrative Code, Section 8103. B. During the performance of this Agreement, Consultant and its subconsultants shall not unlawfully discriminate, harass, or allow harassment against any employee or applicant for employment because of sex, race, color, ancestry, religious creed, national origin, physical disability (including HIV and AIDS), mental disability, medical condition (e.g., cancer), age (over 40), marital status, and denial of family care leave. Consultant and subconsultants shall insure that the evaluation and treatment of their employees and applicants for employment are free from such discrimination and harassment. Consultant and subconsultants shall comply with the provisions of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code §12990 (a-f) et seq.) and the applicable regulations promulgated there under (California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 7285 et seq.). The applicable regulations of the Fair Employment and Housing Commission implementing Government Code Section 12990 (a-f), set forth in Chapter 5 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and made a part hereof as if set forth in full. Consultant and its subconsultants shall give written notice of their obligations under this clause to labor organizations with which they have a collective bargaining or other Agreement. C. If this Agreement is federally funded, the Consultant shall comply with regulations relative to Title VI (nondiscrimination in federally-assisted programs of the Department of Transportation – Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21 - Effectuation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act). Title VI provides that the recipients of federal assistance will implement and maintain a policy of nondiscrimination in which no person in the state of California shall, on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of or subject to discrimination under any program or activity by the recipients of federal assistance or their assignees and successors in interest. D. If this Agreement is federally funded, the Consultant, with regard to the work performed by it during the Agreement shall act in accordance with Title VI. Specifically, the Consultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability in the selection and retention of Subconsultants, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The Consultant shall not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by Section 21.5 of the U.S. DOT’s Regulations, 37 Exhibit D-2 17336.00603\31171937.1 including employment practices when the Agreement covers a program whose goal is employment. 2. DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION CERTIFICATION CONSULTANT’s signature affixed herein, shall constitute a certification under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California, that CONSULTANT has complied with Title 2 CFR, Part 180, “OMB Guidelines to Agencies on Government wide Debarment and Suspension (nonprocurement)”, which certifies that he/she or any person associated therewith in the capacity of owner, partner, director, officer, or manager, is not currently under suspension, debarment, voluntary exclusion, or determination of ineligibility by any federal agency; has not been suspended, debarred, voluntarily excluded, or determined ineligible by any federal agency within the past three (3) years; does not have a proposed debarment pending; and has not been indicted, convicted, or had a civil judgment rendered against it by a court of competent jurisdiction in any matter involving fraud or official misconduct within the past three (3) years. Any exceptions to this certification must be disclosed to COMMISSION. B. Exceptions will not necessarily result in denial of recommendation for award, but will be considered in determining CONSULTANT responsibility. Disclosures must indicate to whom exceptions apply, initiating agency, and dates of action. C. Exceptions to the Federal Government Excluded Parties List System maintained by the General Services Administration are to be determined by the Federal highway Administration. 3. DISCRIMINATION The Commission shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any DOT-assisted contract or in the implementation of the Caltrans DBE program or the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26. The Commission shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Consultant or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, of sex in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant or subcontractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the Caltrans DBE program in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts, as further set forth below. Failure by the Consultant or subcontractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy, as the Commission deems appropriate. 4. PROMPT PAYMENT Consultant agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than 10 days from the receipt of each payment the 38 Exhibit D-3 17336.00603\31171937.1 prime contractor receives from the Commission. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the Commission. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors. 5. RELEASE OF RETAINAGE No retainage will be withheld by the Agency from progress payments due the prime consultant. Retainage by the prime consultant or subconsultants is prohibited, and no retainage will be held by the prime consultant from progress due subconsultants. Any violation of this provision shall subject the violating prime consultant or subconsultants to the penalties, sanctions, and other remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and Professions Code. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative, or judicial remedies, otherwise available to the prime consultant or subconsultant in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by the prime consultant or deficient subconsultant performance, or noncompliance by a subconsultant. This provision applies to both DBE and non-DBE prime consultants and subconsultants. 6. LEGAL REMEDIES In addition to those contract remedies set forth under relevant provisions of California law, either Party to this Agreement may, where applicable, seek legal redress for violations of this Agreement pursuant to the relevant provisions of 49 C.F.R. Parts 23 and 26, to the relevant federal or state statutory provisions governing civil rights violations, and to the relevant federal and state provisions governing false claims or “whistleblower” actions, as well as any and all other applicable federal and state provisions of law. The Consultant shall include a provision to this effect in each of its agreements with its subcontractors. 7. DBE PARTICIPATION Caltrans has developed a statewide DBE program pursuant to 49 C.F.R. Part 26. The requirements and procedures, as applicable, of the Caltrans DBE program are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Even if no DBE participation will be reported, Consultant shall complete Exhibits "E" of this Agreement in compliance with the Caltrans DBE program, a final utilization report in the form provided by the Commission, and any other Caltrans required DBE forms. A. This Agreement is subject to Title 49, Part 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs.” By obtaining DBE participation on this Agreement, Consultant will assist Caltrans in meeting its federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. 39 Exhibit D-4 17336.00603\31171937.1 B. This Agreement does not have a DBE goal, but DBE goals may be included with each task order request for proposals. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, the Consultant must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met. A DBE is a firm meeting the definition of a DBE as specified in 49 CFR. C. DBE and other small businesses (SB), as defined in Title 49 CFR, Part 26 are encouraged to participate in the performance of agreements financed in whole or in part with federal funds. The Consultant, subrecipient or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this Agreement. The Consultant shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR, Part 26 in the award and administration of US DOT- assisted agreements. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy as the Commission, Caltrans or the Department of Transportation deems appropriate. D. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this Agreement shall contain all of the provisions of this section. E. A DBE may be terminated only with prior written approval from the Commission and only for the reasons specified in 49 CFR 26.53(f). Prior to requesting Commission consent for the termination, the prime consultant must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR 26.53(f). 8. DBE PARTICIPATION GENERAL INFORMATION It is Consultant's responsibility to be fully informed regarding the requirements of 49 CFR, Part 26, and the Caltrans DBE program. Particular attention is directed to the following: A. A DBE must be a small business firm defined pursuant to 13 CFR 121 and be certified through the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP). B. A certified DBE may participate as a prime contractor, subcontractor, joint venture partner, as a vendor of material or supplies, or as a trucking company. C. A DBE joint-venture partner must be responsible for specific contract items of work or clearly defined portions thereof. Responsibility means actually performing, managing and supervising the work with its own forces. The DBE joint venture partner must share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks and profits of the joint-venture commensurate with its ownership interest. D. A DBE must perform a commercially useful function, pursuant to 49 CFR 26.55 that is, must be responsible for the execution of a distinct element of the work and must carry out its responsibility by actually performing, managing and supervising the work, as more fully described in section 8 below. 40 Exhibit D-5 17336.00603\31171937.1 E. The Consultant shall list only one subcontractor for each portion of work as defined in the Consultant's bid/proposal and all DBE subcontractors should be listed in the Consultant's bid/cost proposal list of subcontractors. F. A Consultant who is a certified DBE is eligible to claim all of the work in the Agreement toward the DBE participation except that portion of the work to be performed by non-DBE subcontractors. 9 . COMMERCIALLY USEFUL FUNCTION A. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of the work of the Agreement and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible with respect to materials and supplies used on the Agreement, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices; whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the Agreement is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors. B. A DBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, Agreement, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate. C. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent of the total cost of its Agreement with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the Agreement than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a commercially useful function. 10. DBE CERTIFICATION AND DE-CERTIFICATION STATUS If a DBE subcontractor is decertified during the life of the Agreement, the decertified subcontractor shall notify the Contractor in writing with the date of de-certification. If a subcontractor becomes a certified DBE during the life of the Agreement, the subcontractor shall notify the Contractor in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to the Commission’s Contract Administrator within 30 days. 11. DBE RECORDS A. The Contractor shall maintain records of materials purchased and/or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each 41 Exhibit D-6 17336.00603\31171937.1 DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime Contractors shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work. B. Upon completion of the Agreement, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the most current version of the form entitled, “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE),” CEM- 2402F (Exhibit 17-F in Chapter 17 of the LAPM), certified correct by the Contractor or the Contractor’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Commission’s Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty- five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to the Contractor when a satisfactory “Final Report Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE)” is submitted to the Commission’s Contract Administrator. a. Prior to the fifteenth of each month, the Contractor shall submit documentation to the Commission’s Contract Administrator showing the amount paid to DBE trucking companies. The Contractor shall also obtain and submit documentation to the Commission’s Contract Administrator showing the amount paid by DBE trucking companies to all firms, including owner-operators, for the leasing of trucks. If the DBE leases trucks from a non-DBE, the Contractor may count only the fee or commission the DBE receives as a result of the lease arrangement. b. The Contractor shall also submit to the Commission’s Contract Administrator documentation showing the truck number, name of owner, California Highway Patrol CA number, and if applicable, the DBE certification number of the truck owner for all trucks used during that month. This documentation shall be submitted on the Caltrans ”Monthly DBE Trucking Verification,” CEM-2404(F) form provided to the Contractor by the Commission’s Contract Administrator. 12. REPORTING MATERIAL OR SUPPLIES PURCHASED FROM DBEs When Reporting DBE Participation, Material or Supplies purchased from DBEs may count as follows: A. If the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer, 100 % of the cost of the materials or supplies will count toward the DBE participation. A DBE manufacturer is a firm that operates or maintains a factory or establishment that produces on the premises, the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the Agreement and of the general character described by the specifications. B. If the materials or supplies purchased from a DBE regular dealer, count 60 % of the cost of the materials or supplies toward DBE goals. A DBE regular dealer is a firm that owns, operates or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general character described by the specifications and required under the Agreement, are bought, kept in stock, and regularly 42 Exhibit D-7 17336.00603\31171937.1 sold or leased to the public in the usual course of business. To be a DBE regular dealer, the firm must be an established, regular business that engages, as its principal business and under its own name, in the purchase and sale or lease of the products in question. A person may be a DBE regular dealer in such bulk items as petroleum products, steel, cement, gravel, stone or asphalt without owning, operating or maintaining a place of business provided in this section. C. If the person both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products, any supplementing of regular dealers’ own distribution equipment, shall be by a long-term lease agreement and not an ad hoc or Agreement-by-Agreement basis. Packagers, brokers, manufacturers’ representatives, or other persons who arrange or expedite transactions are not DBE regular dealers within the meaning of this section. D. Materials or supplies purchased from a DBE, which is neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, will be limited to the entire amount of fees or commissions charged for assistance in the procurement of the materials and supplies, or fees or transportation charges for the delivery of materials or supplies required on the job site, provided the fees are reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees charged for similar services. 13. REPORTING PARTICIPATION OF DBE TRUCKING COMPANIES When Reporting DBE Participation, Participation of DBE trucking companies may count as follows: A. The DBE must be responsible for the management and supervision of the entire trucking operation for which it is responsible. B. The DBE must itself own and operate at least one fully licensed, insure, and operational truck used on the Agreement. C. The DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services it provides on the Agreement using trucks it owns, insures, and operates using drivers it employs. D. The DBE may lease trucks from another DBE firm including an owner-operator who is certified as a DBE. The DBE who leases trucks from another DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the lessee DBE provides on the Agreement. E. The DBE may also lease trucks from a non-DBE firm, including an owner-operator. The DBE who leases trucks from a non-DBE is entitled to credit only for the fee or commission it receives as a result of the lease arrangement. The DBE does not receive credit for the total value of the transportation services provided by the lessee, since these services are not provided by the DBE. F. For the purposes of this section, a lease must indicate that the DBE has exclusive use and control over the truck. This does not preclude the leased truck from working for others during the term of the lease with the consent of the DBE, as long as the lease gives 43 Exhibit D-8 17336.00603\31171937.1 the DBE absolute priority for use of the leased truck. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number of the DBE. 14. DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION AND OTHER INELIGIBILITY AND VOLUNTARY EXCLUSION In accordance with 49 CFR Part 29, which by this reference is incorporated herein, Consultant’s subconsultants completed and submitted the Certificate of subconsultant Regarding Debarment, Suspension and Other Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion as part of the Consultant’s proposal. If it is later determined that Consultant’s subconsultants knowingly rendered an erroneous Certificate, the Commission may, among other remedies, terminate this Agreement. 15. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE A. Compliance with all applicable standards, orders, or requirements issued under section 306 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 1857(h)), section 508 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1368), Executive Order 11738, and Environmental Protection Agency regulations (40 CFR part 15). (Contracts, subcontracts, and subgrants of amounts in excess of $100,000). B. Mandatory standards and policies relating to energy efficiency which are contained in the state energy conservation plan issued in compliance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (Pub. L. 94-163, 89 Stat. 871). 16. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD CERTIFICATION In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 10296, and by signing this Agreement, Consultant certifies under penalty of perjury that no more than one final unappealable finding of contempt of court by a federal court has been issued against Consultant within the immediately preceding two-year period, because of Consultant’s failure to comply with an order of a federal court that orders Consultant to comply with an order of the National Labor Relations Board. 44 Exhibit E-1 17336.00603\31171937.1 EXHIBIT "E" CONSULTANT DBE COMMITMENT Consultant to Complete this Section 1.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The presence of hazardous substances within proposed rights of way and facilities for various Commission rail and highway projects is probable. It is, therefore, necessary for the Commission to exercise due diligence in identifying hazardous materials and potential hazardous substance related problems. Performing early testing of known or potentially contaminated sites may avoid or, at least, minimize costs and schedule delays on Commission projects. On-call consultants will be required to furnish specialized environmental engineering and field services including, but not limited to, site assessments and investigations, remedial investigation/feasibility studies, remediation action plans, remediation action design, post-remediation monitoring at specified sites, hazardous waste remediation, abatement, and removal of materials. 46 Agenda Item 8 Phase I – Initial site assessment shall include, but not be limited to, identifying hazardous and potentially hazardous problems. Phase II – Site investigations shall include, but not be limited to, items such as work plans, health and safety plans, surveys and surface geophysical investigations, drilling, sampling, laboratory analysis, and reporting. In December 2015, the Commission approved similar contracts with three firms for up to three-year terms; these contracts have been used successfully to deliver projects and react to new and changing conditions rapidly. The total authorized amount on those contracts was also $300,000, of which approximately $56,000 was expended. Procurement Process Pursuant to Government Code 4525 et seq, selection of architect, engineer, and related services shall be on the basis of demonstrated competence and on professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required. Therefore, staff used the qualification method of selection for the procurement. Evaluation criteria included elements such as qualifications of firm, staffing and project organization, project understanding and approach, and the ability to respond to the requirements set forth under the terms of a request for qualifications (RFQ). RFQ No. 18-31-098-00 for on-call right of way phase I & phase II environmental assessment services was released by staff on July 26, 2018. A public notice was advertised in the Press Enterprise, and the RFQ was posted on the Commission’s Planet Bids website, which is accessible through the Commission’s website. Through Planet Bids, 61 firms downloaded the RFQ; 14 of these firms are located in Riverside County. A pre-submittal meeting was held on August 7 and attended by 17 firms. Staff responded to all questions submitted by potential proposers prior to the August 21 clarification deadline. Twelve firms – ATC Group Services LLC (Monterey Park); Cardno, Inc. (Lake Forest); Converse Consultants (Monrovia); Dudek (Riverside); EFI Global (Los Angeles); ES Engineering Services, LLC (Irvine); Leighton Consulting, Inc. (Irvine); Ninyo & Moore (Fontana); SCS Engineers (Long Beach); SCST, Inc. (Riverside); Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (San Bernardino); and Tetra Tech, Inc. (Irvine) – submitted responsive and responsible statements of qualifications prior to the 2:00 p.m. submittal deadline on September 5. Based on the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFQ, the firms were evaluated and scored by an evaluation committee comprised of Commission staff. As a result of the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written statements of qualifications, the evaluation committee recommends contract awards to Leighton Consulting, Inc.; Ninyo & Moore; and Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. for a three-year term, and two, one-year options to extend the agreements, in the aggregate amount of $300,000, as these firms earned the highest total evaluation scores. 47 Agenda Item 8 The multiple award, on-call, indefinite delivery/quantity task order type contracts do not guarantee work to any of the awardees; therefore, no funds are guaranteed to any consultant. Pre-qualified consultants will be selected for specific tasks based on qualification information contained in their proposals and/or competitive fee proposals for the specific tasks. Services will be provided through the Commission’s issuance of contract task orders to the consultants on an as-needed basis. The Commission’s model on-call professional services agreement will be entered into with each consultant firm, subject to any changes approved by the Executive Director and pursuant to legal counsel review. Staff oversight of the contracts and task orders will maximize the effectiveness of the consultants and minimize costs to the Commission.

To the extent that (i) the Consultant is a party to any Confidential Communication, and (ii) a third party seeks discovery of such 76 17336.00603\31171937.1 communications, then the Consultant shall be deemed to be an agent of the Commission solely for purposes of preserving any attorney client privilege in the relevant Confidential Communication. Any such attorney client privilege shall be held by the Commission and the Consultant is not authorized to waive that privilege or, otherwise, disclose such Confidential Communication except as set forth below. This Section is intended to maintain the privilege in any privileged Confidential Communications that are (1) between and among Commission, Consultant, and Commission’s attorneys; (2) between Consultant (on behalf of the Commission) and Commission’s attorneys; (3) Confidential Communications that occur in Closed Session meetings wherein the Commission, the Commission’s attorneys and Consultant are present; and (4) between Commission and Consultant wherein the substance of the Confidential Communication is conveyed to/from the Consultant.

As soon as practicable after Consultant becomes aware that it is required, or may become required, to disclose the Confidential Communication for such reason, Consultant shall notify the Commission in writing, in order to allow the Commission to pursue legal remedies designed to limit the Confidential Communication required to be disclosed or to assure the confidential treatment of the disclosed information following its disclosure. Consultant shall cooperate with the Commission, on a reimbursable basis, to assist the Commission in limiting the scope of disclosure or assuring the confidential treatment of any disclosed information. 52. Subpoenas or Court Orders.

Assignment or Transfer. Consultant shall not assign, hypothecate, or transfer, either directly or by operation of law, this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Commission. Any attempt to do so shall be null and void, and any assignees, hypothecates or transferees shall acquire no right or interest by reason of such attempted assignment, hypothecation or transfer. 54. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding on the successors and assigns of the parties, and shall not be assigned by Consultant without the prior written consent of Commission. 55.

Consultant’s signature affixed herein shall constitute a certification under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that CONSULTANT has, unless exempt, complied with, the nondiscrimination program requirements of Government Code Section 12990 and Title 2, California Administrative Code, Section 8103. B. During the performance of this Agreement, Consultant and its subconsultants shall not unlawfully discriminate, harass, or allow harassment against any employee or applicant for employment because of sex, race, color, ancestry, religious creed, national origin, physical disability (including HIV and AIDS), mental disability, medical condition (e.g., cancer), age (over 40), marital status, and denial of family care leave. Consultant and subconsultants shall insure that the evaluation and treatment of their employees and applicants for employment are free from such discrimination and harassment. Consultant and subconsultants shall comply with the provisions of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code §12990 (a-f) et seq.) and the applicable regulations promulgated there under (California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 7285 et seq.). The applicable regulations of the Fair Employment and Housing Commission implementing Government Code Section 12990 (a-f), set forth in Chapter 5 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, are incorporated into this Agreement by reference and made a part hereof as if set forth in full. Consultant and its subconsultants shall give written notice of their obligations under this clause to labor organizations with which they have a collective bargaining or other Agreement. C. If this Agreement is federally funded, the Consultant shall comply with regulations relative to Title VI (nondiscrimination in federally-assisted programs of the Department of Transportation – Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21 - Effectuation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act). Title VI provides that the recipients of federal assistance will implement and maintain a policy of nondiscrimination in which no person in the state of California shall, on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of or subject to discrimination under any program or activity by the recipients of federal assistance or their assignees and successors in interest. D. If this Agreement is federally funded, the Consultant, with regard to the work performed by it during the Agreement shall act in accordance with Title VI. Specifically, the Consultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, or disability in the selection and retention of Subconsultants, including procurement of materials and leases of equipment. The Consultant shall not participate either directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by Section 21.5 of the U.S. DOT’s Regulations, 82 Exhibit D-2 17336.00603\31171937.1 including employment practices when the Agreement covers a program whose goal is employment. 2. DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION CERTIFICATION CONSULTANT’s signature affixed herein, shall constitute a certification under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California, that CONSULTANT has complied with Title 2 CFR, Part 180, “OMB Guidelines to Agencies on Government wide Debarment and Suspension (nonprocurement)”, which certifies that he/she or any person associated therewith in the capacity of owner, partner, director, officer, or manager, is not currently under suspension, debarment, voluntary exclusion, or determination of ineligibility by any federal agency; has not been suspended, debarred, voluntarily excluded, or determined ineligible by any federal agency within the past three (3) years; does not have a proposed debarment pending; and has not been indicted, convicted, or had a civil judgment rendered against it by a court of competent jurisdiction in any matter involving fraud or official misconduct within the past three (3) years. Any exceptions to this certification must be disclosed to COMMISSION. B. Exceptions will not necessarily result in denial of recommendation for award, but will be considered in determining CONSULTANT responsibility. Disclosures must indicate to whom exceptions apply, initiating agency, and dates of action. C. Exceptions to the Federal Government Excluded Parties List System maintained by the General Services Administration are to be determined by the Federal highway Administration. 3. DISCRIMINATION The Commission shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of any DOT-assisted contract or in the implementation of the Caltrans DBE program or the requirements of 49 CFR Part 26. The Commission shall take all necessary and reasonable steps under 49 CFR Part 26 to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts. Consultant or subcontractor shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, of sex in the performance of this Agreement. Consultant or subcontractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR Part 26 and the Caltrans DBE program in the award and administration of DOT-assisted contracts, as further set forth below. Failure by the Consultant or subcontractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy, as the Commission deems appropriate. 4. PROMPT PAYMENT Consultant agrees to pay each subcontractor under this prime contract for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than 10 days from the receipt of each payment the 83 Exhibit D-3 17336.00603\31171937.1 prime contractor receives from the Commission. Any delay or postponement of payment from the above referenced time frame may occur only for good cause following written approval of the Commission. This clause applies to both DBE and non-DBE subcontractors. 5. RELEASE OF RETAINAGE No retainage will be withheld by the Agency from progress payments due the prime consultant. Retainage by the prime consultant or subconsultants is prohibited, and no retainage will be held by the prime consultant from progress due subconsultants. Any violation of this provision shall subject the violating prime consultant or subconsultants to the penalties, sanctions, and other remedies specified in Section 7108.5 of the California Business and Professions Code. This requirement shall not be construed to limit or impair any contractual, administrative, or judicial remedies, otherwise available to the prime consultant or subconsultant in the event of a dispute involving late payment or nonpayment by the prime consultant or deficient subconsultant performance, or noncompliance by a subconsultant. This provision applies to both DBE and non-DBE prime consultants and subconsultants. 6. LEGAL REMEDIES In addition to those contract remedies set forth under relevant provisions of California law, either Party to this Agreement may, where applicable, seek legal redress for violations of this Agreement pursuant to the relevant provisions of 49 C.F.R. Parts 23 and 26, to the relevant federal or state statutory provisions governing civil rights violations, and to the relevant federal and state provisions governing false claims or “whistleblower” actions, as well as any and all other applicable federal and state provisions of law. The Consultant shall include a provision to this effect in each of its agreements with its subcontractors. 7. DBE PARTICIPATION Caltrans has developed a statewide DBE program pursuant to 49 C.F.R. Part 26. The requirements and procedures, as applicable, of the Caltrans DBE program are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Even if no DBE participation will be reported, Consultant shall complete Exhibits "E" of this Agreement in compliance with the Caltrans DBE program, a final utilization report in the form provided by the Commission, and any other Caltrans required DBE forms. A. This Agreement is subject to Title 49, Part 26 of the Code of Federal Regulations entitled “Participation by Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Department of Transportation Financial Assistance Programs.” By obtaining DBE participation on this Agreement, Consultant will assist Caltrans in meeting its federally mandated statewide overall DBE goal. 84 Exhibit D-4 17336.00603\31171937.1 B. This Agreement does not have a DBE goal, but DBE goals may be included with each task order request for proposals. If a DBE subconsultant is unable to perform, the Consultant must make a good faith effort to replace him/her with another DBE subconsultant, if the goal is not otherwise met. A DBE is a firm meeting the definition of a DBE as specified in 49 CFR. C. DBE and other small businesses (SB), as defined in Title 49 CFR, Part 26 are encouraged to participate in the performance of agreements financed in whole or in part with federal funds. The Consultant, subrecipient or subconsultant shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the performance of this Agreement. The Consultant shall carry out applicable requirements of 49 CFR, Part 26 in the award and administration of US DOT- assisted agreements. Failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach of this Agreement, which may result in the termination of this Agreement or such other remedy as the Commission, Caltrans or the Department of Transportation deems appropriate. D. Any subcontract entered into as a result of this Agreement shall contain all of the provisions of this section. E. A DBE may be terminated only with prior written approval from the Commission and only for the reasons specified in 49 CFR 26.53(f). Prior to requesting Commission consent for the termination, the prime consultant must meet the procedural requirements specified in 49 CFR 26.53(f). 8. DBE PARTICIPATION GENERAL INFORMATION It is Consultant's responsibility to be fully informed regarding the requirements of 49 CFR, Part 26, and the Caltrans DBE program. Particular attention is directed to the following: A. A DBE must be a small business firm defined pursuant to 13 CFR 121 and be certified through the California Unified Certification Program (CUCP). B. A certified DBE may participate as a prime contractor, subcontractor, joint venture partner, as a vendor of material or supplies, or as a trucking company. C. A DBE joint-venture partner must be responsible for specific contract items of work or clearly defined portions thereof. Responsibility means actually performing, managing and supervising the work with its own forces. The DBE joint venture partner must share in the capital contribution, control, management, risks and profits of the joint-venture commensurate with its ownership interest. D. A DBE must perform a commercially useful function, pursuant to 49 CFR 26.55 that is, must be responsible for the execution of a distinct element of the work and must carry out its responsibility by actually performing, managing and supervising the work, as more fully described in section 8 below. 85 Exhibit D-5 17336.00603\31171937.1 E. The Consultant shall list only one subcontractor for each portion of work as defined in the Consultant's bid/proposal and all DBE subcontractors should be listed in the Consultant's bid/cost proposal list of subcontractors. F. A Consultant who is a certified DBE is eligible to claim all of the work in the Agreement toward the DBE participation except that portion of the work to be performed by non-DBE subcontractors. 9 . COMMERCIALLY USEFUL FUNCTION A. A DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of the work of the Agreement and is carrying out its responsibilities by actually performing, managing, and supervising the work involved. To perform a commercially useful function, the DBE must also be responsible with respect to materials and supplies used on the Agreement, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material itself. To determine whether a DBE is performing a commercially useful function, evaluate the amount of work subcontracted, industry practices; whether the amount the firm is to be paid under the Agreement is commensurate with the work it is actually performing, and other relevant factors. B. A DBE does not perform a commercially useful function if its role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, Agreement, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation. In determining whether a DBE is such an extra participant, examine similar transactions, particularly those in which DBEs do not participate. C. If a DBE does not perform or exercise responsibility for at least thirty percent of the total cost of its Agreement with its own work force, or the DBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of the Agreement than would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice for the type of work involved, it will be presumed that it is not performing a commercially useful function. 10. DBE CERTIFICATION AND DE-CERTIFICATION STATUS If a DBE subcontractor is decertified during the life of the Agreement, the decertified subcontractor shall notify the Contractor in writing with the date of de-certification. If a subcontractor becomes a certified DBE during the life of the Agreement, the subcontractor shall notify the Contractor in writing with the date of certification. Any changes should be reported to the Commission’s Contract Administrator within 30 days. 11. DBE RECORDS A. The Contractor shall maintain records of materials purchased and/or supplied from all subcontracts entered into with certified DBEs. The records shall show the name and business address of each DBE or vendor and the total dollar amount actually paid each 86 Exhibit D-6 17336.00603\31171937.1 DBE or vendor, regardless of tier. The records shall show the date of payment and the total dollar figure paid to all firms. DBE prime Contractors shall also show the date of work performed by their own forces along with the corresponding dollar value of the work. B. Upon completion of the Agreement, a summary of these records shall be prepared and submitted on the most current version of the form entitled, “Final Report-Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE),” CEM- 2402F (Exhibit 17-F in Chapter 17 of the LAPM), certified correct by the Contractor or the Contractor’s authorized representative and shall be furnished to the Commission’s Contract Administrator with the final invoice. Failure to provide the summary of DBE payments with the final invoice will result in twenty- five percent (25%) of the dollar value of the invoice being withheld from payment until the form is submitted. The amount will be returned to the Contractor when a satisfactory “Final Report Utilization of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE)” is submitted to the Commission’s Contract Administrator. a. Prior to the fifteenth of each month, the Contractor shall submit documentation to the Commission’s Contract Administrator showing the amount paid to DBE trucking companies. The Contractor shall also obtain and submit documentation to the Commission’s Contract Administrator showing the amount paid by DBE trucking companies to all firms, including owner-operators, for the leasing of trucks. If the DBE leases trucks from a non-DBE, the Contractor may count only the fee or commission the DBE receives as a result of the lease arrangement. b. The Contractor shall also submit to the Commission’s Contract Administrator documentation showing the truck number, name of owner, California Highway Patrol CA number, and if applicable, the DBE certification number of the truck owner for all trucks used during that month. This documentation shall be submitted on the Caltrans ”Monthly DBE Trucking Verification,” CEM-2404(F) form provided to the Contractor by the Commission’s Contract Administrator. 12. REPORTING MATERIAL OR SUPPLIES PURCHASED FROM DBEs When Reporting DBE Participation, Material or Supplies purchased from DBEs may count as follows: A. If the materials or supplies are obtained from a DBE manufacturer, 100 % of the cost of the materials or supplies will count toward the DBE participation. A DBE manufacturer is a firm that operates or maintains a factory or establishment that produces on the premises, the materials, supplies, articles, or equipment required under the Agreement and of the general character described by the specifications. B. If the materials or supplies purchased from a DBE regular dealer, count 60 % of the cost of the materials or supplies toward DBE goals. A DBE regular dealer is a firm that owns, operates or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general character described by the specifications and required under the Agreement, are bought, kept in stock, and regularly 87 Exhibit D-7 17336.00603\31171937.1 sold or leased to the public in the usual course of business. To be a DBE regular dealer, the firm must be an established, regular business that engages, as its principal business and under its own name, in the purchase and sale or lease of the products in question. A person may be a DBE regular dealer in such bulk items as petroleum products, steel, cement, gravel, stone or asphalt without owning, operating or maintaining a place of business provided in this section. C. If the person both owns and operates distribution equipment for the products, any supplementing of regular dealers’ own distribution equipment, shall be by a long-term lease agreement and not an ad hoc or Agreement-by-Agreement basis. Packagers, brokers, manufacturers’ representatives, or other persons who arrange or expedite transactions are not DBE regular dealers within the meaning of this section. D. Materials or supplies purchased from a DBE, which is neither a manufacturer nor a regular dealer, will be limited to the entire amount of fees or commissions charged for assistance in the procurement of the materials and supplies, or fees or transportation charges for the delivery of materials or supplies required on the job site, provided the fees are reasonable and not excessive as compared with fees charged for similar services. 13. REPORTING PARTICIPATION OF DBE TRUCKING COMPANIES When Reporting DBE Participation, Participation of DBE trucking companies may count as follows: A. The DBE must be responsible for the management and supervision of the entire trucking operation for which it is responsible. B. The DBE must itself own and operate at least one fully licensed, insure, and operational truck used on the Agreement. C. The DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services it provides on the Agreement using trucks it owns, insures, and operates using drivers it employs. D. The DBE may lease trucks from another DBE firm including an owner-operator who is certified as a DBE. The DBE who leases trucks from another DBE receives credit for the total value of the transportation services the lessee DBE provides on the Agreement. E. The DBE may also lease trucks from a non-DBE firm, including an owner-operator. The DBE who leases trucks from a non-DBE is entitled to credit only for the fee or commission it receives as a result of the lease arrangement. The DBE does not receive credit for the total value of the transportation services provided by the lessee, since these services are not provided by the DBE. F. For the purposes of this section, a lease must indicate that the DBE has exclusive use and control over the truck. This does not preclude the leased truck from working for others during the term of the lease with the consent of the DBE, as long as the lease gives 88 Exhibit D-8 17336.00603\31171937.1 the DBE absolute priority for use of the leased truck. Leased trucks must display the name and identification number of the DBE. 14. DEBARMENT, SUSPENSION AND OTHER INELIGIBILITY AND VOLUNTARY EXCLUSION In accordance with 49 CFR Part 29, which by this reference is incorporated herein, Consultant’s subconsultants completed and submitted the Certificate of subconsultant Regarding Debarment, Suspension and Other Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion as part of the Consultant’s proposal. If it is later determined that Consultant’s subconsultants knowingly rendered an erroneous Certificate, the Commission may, among other remedies, terminate this Agreement. 15. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE A. Compliance with all applicable standards, orders, or requirements issued under section 306 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 1857(h)), section 508 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1368), Executive Order 11738, and Environmental Protection Agency regulations (40 CFR part 15). (Contracts, subcontracts, and subgrants of amounts in excess of $100,000). B. Mandatory standards and policies relating to energy efficiency which are contained in the state energy conservation plan issued in compliance with the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (Pub. L. 94-163, 89 Stat. 871). 16. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD CERTIFICATION In accordance with Public Contract Code Section 10296, and by signing this Agreement, Consultant certifies under penalty of perjury that no more than one final unappealable finding of contempt of court by a federal court has been issued against Consultant within the immediately preceding two-year period, because of Consultant’s failure to comply with an order of a federal court that orders Consultant to comply with an order of the National Labor Relations Board. 89 Exhibit E-1 17336.00603\31171937.1 EXHIBIT "E" CONSULTANT DBE COMMITMENT Consultant to Complete this Section 1.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission, acting in its capacity as the Service Authority for Freeway Emergencies (SAFE), is the principal agency in Riverside County, in partnership with Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol (CHP), managing the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program. The purpose of the FSP program is to provide a continuously roving tow services patrol along designated freeway segments (referred to as beats) to relieve freeway congestion and facilitate the rapid removal of disabled vehicles and those involved in minor accidents on local freeways. Currently, as illustrated in Figure 1, the Commission contracts with three tow truck operators to provide 91 Agenda Item 9 service on a total of 12 beats Monday through Friday during the peak commute hours, 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. (12:30 p.m. on Fridays) to 6:30 p.m. Figure 1: FSP Beat Map Incremental weekend FSP service funded by Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee grants, is also provided along beats in the cities of Corona, Moreno Valley, and Riverside. In addition to regular peak FSP and incremental weekend service hours, FSP is used to provide traffic congestion relief and to quickly address vehicle breakdowns and accidents within construction zones, all of which have the added benefit of reducing accidents and improving air quality during the construction of a project. DISCUSSION: The project teams for the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project (I-15 ELP) and Pachappa Underpass project requested CFSP service to serve as a transportation mitigation strategy in their respective construction zones within FSP beats 2, 4, 25, and 26 (Figure 1).
