Agenda Item 4 AGENDA ITEM 5 " RIVERS/DE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 21, 2006 TO: Property Committee FROM: Stephanie Wiggins, Regional Programs Director THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Modification No. 1 to RCTC Station Joint Development Guidelines STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to modify the RCTC Station Joint Development Guidelines to include a Development Team prequalification period of two years. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its June 2005 meeting, the Commission approved the RCTC Station Joint Development Guidelines, which authorized the Property Committee to make any guideline modifications. As a result of the initial process of developing a recommendation for an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement for Joint Development at the La Sierra Station, staff is requesting a modification of the Joint Development Guidelines; specifically, the addition of a provision that development teams be pre -qualified for a period of two years. The current pre -qualification process is rigorous and the panel is comprised of finance, city planning, city redevelopment, and right-of-way professionals. Once a development team is prequalified, this provision would reduce the administrative burden on both staff as well as the development teams for any subsequent joint development opportunities at future stations. Attachment: RCTC Rail Station Joint Development Guidelines Agenda Item 5 ROTC Rail Station Joan Development Guidelines, June 2005 Riverside County Transportation Commission Rail Station Joint Development Guidelines ,July 2006 PURPOSE These guidelines are issued under the authority of the Riverside County Transportation Commission RRCTC) which seeks to enter into joint development partnerships to enhance the financial return and overall patronage of the Commission's significant rail transportation infrastructure investment. For purposes of these guidelines, joint development is defined as a real property asset development and management program intended to secure the most appropriate private and/or public sector development on RCTC-owned property at and adjacent to Metrolink commuter rail stations and corridors. Joint development also includes coordination with local jurisdictions in station -area land use planning in the interest of establishing development that enhances rail transit use. it is the intention of the RCTC to realize the maximum benefits from and utilization of property owned and acquired by the Commission consistent with transportation mobility and community development objectives. GOALS The RCTC joint development guidelines seek to: 1. Promote and enhance rail transit ridership; 2. Enhance and protect the commuter rail station and corridor; 3. Encourage comprehensive and complementary planning and development around RCTC-owned station sites; 4. Reduce auto use and congestion through encouragement of rail transit -linked development, consistent with Commission policy to pursue transportation alternatives that enhance or complement economic development; and ' 5. Demonstrate a fiscal benefit to the Commission based on a fair market return on public investment. POLICIES The basic construct of joint development guidelines encourages comprehensive' planning of station -area development. These policies are limitedto solicited' proposals. To facilitate coordinated transportation and land use decisions, RCTC will: Rev Rl, 11/29/05 1 Deleted: June 2005 RCTC Rail Scotian Jana Developmenr Guideline; June 2005 1. Consult and work cooperatively with local jurisdictions, redevelopment agencies, developers, and other public and private sector entities to facilitate land use policies and plans which encourage intensive, highquality development at current and planned RCTC-owned stations and surrounding properties; 2. in consultation with local jurisdictions, prepare conceptual development strategies specific to each joint development site that articulate the intensity and types of land use that the. RCTC envisions for that site as well as any of the desired transit facility features; 3. Encourage transit compatible land use plans that enhance RCTC's regional mobility, air quality, economic development, ridership and revenue goals; 4. Consider joint development opportunities in the location of new station sites for future rail corridors, and construction of station facilities; 5. Encourage and allow surrounding property owners/developers, at their expense, to construct direct connections to stations from ,:their property/buildings,in particular, pedestrian connections which enhance the overall pedestrian flow of the project area; and 6. Any modifications of these guidelines may be made by the RCTC Property Committee. Additionally, the RCTC shall consider new joint development projects based on the following standards: 1., Projects shall be evaluated for consistency with development .strategies as delineated in site -specific Request for Qualification/Proposals (RFQ/RFP) issued by the Commission; 2. Projects shall not negatively impact present or future public transportation facilities; 3. Projects shall be evaluated for consistency with regional and local jurisdictions' policies and plans; 4: Projects must demonstrate, at a minimum, fair market value return to RCTC; 5. If there are multiple proposals for the same site, selection between projects will be based on those which meet the above criteria and additionally demonstrate: a. The greatest potential to increase rail transit ridership and enhance the transit system environment; b. The greatest economic development potential to the community consistent with adopted land use plans; and c. Responsiveness to community needs for employment, services, housing or other facilities. 6. Projects are encouraged, which create a long-term source of revenue for the RCTC and allow the RCTC to participate in the increase in value of its real estate assets over time. This will generally take the form of a long-term lease. Under some circumstances, the Commission may consider the sale of property if it is determined to be in RCTC's best interest;: Rev di, 1129/05 2 " " RCTC Rai! Station Joint Development Guidelines, June 2005 7. Projects are encouraged which require no commitment of RCTC financial resources, minimize any investment risk, and maximize asset security for RCTC; 8. Where appropriate, as defined in the site -specific conceptual development guidelines enumerated in the RFP, projects are encouraged which provide new or additional station parking facilities; and 9. Projects must allow RCTC to retain station facility and related transportation service design and location authority and access to all necessary station operational facilities. Rail Station Joint Development Implementation Procedures RCTC will periodically prepare conceptual development strategies for RCTC-owned properties at Metrolink commuter rail stations. The RCTC will also consult with local jurisdictions regarding local land use development efforts. These conceptual development strategies and consultations with local jurisdictions shall provide the basis for establishing project priorities and implementation approaches to ensure maximum attainment of RCTC's joint development goals. ,RCTC will be open and competitive in marketing its properties. RCTC shall solicit icompetitive proposals for joint development of its properties. The standard RCTC procurement procedures shall be used as the general guideline for determining the appropriate process for solicitation. RCTC shall not accept unsolicited written proposals for joint development on RCTC owned property. Proposal Solicitation and Evaluation Process RCTC may periodically initiate a process to solicit development proposals for specific properties owned by RCTC. In soliciting joint development proposals, the RCTC shall provide available relevant site information including the conceptual development strategies for the site and encourage developers to seek information or consult with local jurisdictions regarding current and planned land uses in the project area. The RFQ/RFP will outline the minimum qualifications and project selection criteria, including any unique capabilities or credentials which would be required of the proposer. Pre -proposal conferences may be held, as deemed necessary by RCTC. The solicitation process will consist of two distinct stages = an assessment of qualifications and an assessment of development proposals. The first stage, the Qualifications Assessment, involves a request for qualifications (RFQ). This stage establishes the fitness of potential development teams to present formal development proposals to the RCTC for the specific site. During this stage, development teams are to be evaluated on two major criteria: 1. the Experience and Qualifications of the Development Team 2. the Financial Capacity of the Development Team Rev #1, IIR9/05 3 RCTC Rail Station Joint Development Guidelines, June 2005 Public notice of the RFQ issuance will be posted at least 30 days prior to the date set for receipt of Statements of Qualification. Development teams that meet the predetermined minimum requirements for both evaluation criteria will be invited by RCTC to participate in the second stage of the development solication process as well as prequalified for two years for any other RCTC Joint: Development soiicitiations„ The second stage of the development solication / RFP process is an Assessment of Development Proposals. During this stage, the set of pre -qualified development teams will be given the opportunity to prepare a proposal for development on the site in question. The proposals shall include: 1. A description of the project (program and schematic site plans) 2. A description of the approach to implement the proposed project (management plan, schedule, and financial terms). Proposals shall be evaluated by a review panel selected by the Executive Director. It is anticipated that the panel will include representatives from the local jurisdiction and RCTC staff. Additionally, an urban design panel may be used to evaluate projects in an advisory capacity to the review committee. The RCTC shall notify Proposers within 30 days following their proposal submittals as to the estimated time frame for proposal review. It is the intent of the Commission to review proposals as expeditiously as possible, and review periods may be dependent on the volume and complexity of the proposals. The .review committee will use the Rail Station Joint Development Checklist to evaluate the initial submittals and make recommendations to the Commission on the selected developer/proposal to be considered for advancement to the Exclusive Negotiations Agreement phase. Exclusive Negotiations Agreement Upon recommendation and approval of the Commission, the Executive Director may enter into an Exclusive Negotiations Agreement (ENA) with the selected_ developer for a period of 180 days or such other term that is mutually acceptable to the parties.

Rev AI IM9/05 8 AGENDA ITEM 6 i RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: June 21, 2006 TO: Property Committee FROM: Stephanie Wiggins, Regional Programs Director THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Award a Sole Source Agreement to Keyser Marston Associates for Real Estate Financial Advisory Consultants for the Riverside - Downtown Joint Development STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Award a Sole Source Agreement to Keyser Marston Associates for Consultant Services for the Riverside -Downtown Joint Development Project in an amount not to exceed $70,500; 2) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission; and 3) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its June 2005 meeting, the Commission approved the RCTC Station Joint Development Guidelines authorized staff to develop a RFQ/RFP for Joint Development of the La Sierra Station. As a result of the initial process of developing a recommendation for an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) for Joint Development at the La Sierra Station, the Evaluation Committee is recommending award of a sole source agreement to Keyser Marston Associates for consultant services on the Riverside -Downtown Joint Development Project. A key evaluation tool in recommending a Development Team for the La Sierra ENA was the pro forma financial analysis performed by Keyser Marston Associates. This allowed an "apples to apples" comparison of the two pre -qualified Development Teams. In April 2006, the Commission authorized the release of a RFQ/RFP for Joint Development at the Riverside -Downtown Station. Eight Statement of Qualifications have been received and the Evaluation Committee is recommending that the same pro -forma analysis be completed for the pre -qualified Development Teams. Keyser Marston Associates has unique qualifications given their extensive work with the city of Riverside and transit oriented developments, as illustrated in its attached proposal.
