Field Exploration, Testing Services and Technical Evaluations for the Proposed Irvine to Corona Expressway Project STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Approve Agreement No. 07-65-105-04, Amendrnent No. 4 to Agreement No. 07-65-105-00, with Kleinfelder to provide geotechnical field exploration, testing services and technical evaluations for the proposed Irvine to Corona Expressway project based on the negotiated project scope, schedule and cost that is attached to this agenda item for a not to exceed amount of $743,652; 2) Authorize the Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute amendments for non -cardinal changes to the scope of work up to a maximum of $250,000 for unforeseen optional tasks bringing this total request to $993,652; 3) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission; 4) Authorize the Executive Director or designee to approve contingency work of optional tasks as may be required for the project; and 5) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2006, the Commission executed a cooperative agreement with the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) to develop and manage geotechnical feasibility studies for a potential transportation and utility corridor linking Riverside and Orange Counties. The purpose of the agreement is to jointly exercise the common powers of its parties as the Riverside Orange Corridor Authority (ROCA). The Commission is charged with administering the cooperative agreement and is responsible for the Agenda Item 8 1 receipt and expenditure of federal and state funds to accomplish the geotechnical studies. At its February 14, 2007 meeting, the Commission awarded Agreement No. 07-65-105-00 to Kleinfelder to provide supplemental geotechnical field exploration, testing services, and technical evaluations for the proposed Irvine to Corona Expressway project for a total not to exceed amount of $6,158,608. Administrative Amendment Nos. 07-65-105-01, 07-65-105-02, and 07-65-105-03 were issued within the currently authorized budget to Kleinfelder on August 2007, June 2008, and August 2008, respectively. Amendment No. 1 covered additional costs for the web -based management system. Amendment No. 2 covered the costs associated with bringing in fire monitors required by the forest Service. Amendment No. 3 covered the cost associated with bringing in the Technical Advisory Panel to determine tunnel feasibility for this project. These three amendments did not increase the approved budget of $6,158,608 by the Commission at its February 14, 2007 meeting. At its July 9, 2008 meeting, the Commission authorized an additional $650,000 for the deepening of two corehole locations as requested by Congressman Calvert, ROCA Board and Metropolitan Water District. These additional funds {originally identified as part of Amendment 3) will be rolled into this requested Amendment 4. To date, two out of the five coreholes have been drilled to their projected depth. Two of the coreholes have been drilled to an approximate half way of their projected depth leaving one corehole that is scheduled to commence drilling during the week of August 25, 2008. Since at least half of the proposed work has been completed to date, staff and the consultant team have a better understanding of tasks and effort it will take to complete the geotechnical work. The actual drilling field work started in April 2008 at a rate of 27 feet per day. This rate was below the expected drilling rate of 35 feet per day. Due to this drilling rate, the duration of the drilling program is being lengthened, which in turn lengthens the duration of the field geologist and support staff. In addition, monthly meetings have been taking place with Forest Service staff to keep them informed on activities currently been performed on forest lands. At the request of Forest Service staff, additional water monitoring sites were added to the scope of work. These additional sites required monitoring equipment and multiple visits to gather the requested water data. Table 1(attached) describes other reasons for the extended duration for the completion of this project. Staff recommends that the Commission approve Amendment No. 4 to Kleinfelder for the continuation of the drilling of coreholes to provide geotechnical field exploration, testing services, and technical evaluations for the proposed Irvine to Corona Expressway project. This request for $993,652 brings the total contract Agenda Item 8 • • 2 " " " amount to $7,802,260. Funding for this work is available from the federal funds identified specifically for this geotechnical work. The Commission matching funds are available from State Planning, Programming and Monitoring Funds.

" BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its April 8, 2008 meeting, the Commission approved the "Green" Metrolink Station Rehabilitation Plan to upgrade the stations using $2,477,714 of Proposition 1 B Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement, and Service Enhancement Account (PTMISEA) funds. This was followed by a separate action on July 9, 2008 with the Commission approving the Comprehensive Station Security Upgrade Plan using $347,852 of Proposition 1 B California Transit Security Grant Program - California Transit Assistance Funds (CTSGP-CTAF). With this funding in place for the plan, contract amendments with current contractors as well as new contracts to be awarded competitively are required to commence the rehabilitation and security project. To expedite the rehabilitation Agenda Item 9 11 project and meet the Proposition 1 B grant funding emphasis on utilizing the funds in a timely manner, staff identified the following competitively awarded contracts as candidates for amendments in order to immediately begin implementing the station rehabilitation plan. Staff plans to issue several competitive solicitations for additional rehabilitation work, such as glass replacement, and bring these contract awards to the Commission at a future date. Tropical Plaza Nursery, Inc. In January 2008, as a result of a competitive solicitation, the Commission entered into an agreement with Tropical Plaza Nursery, Inc. (Tropical) to provide landscape maintenance services at the five Metrolink stations. The current agreement is for a single year term with options for a value of $225,000, which includes $135,000 for monthly maintenance and $90,000 for repairs on an as needed basis. The work performed to date by Tropical has been satisfactory; therefore, it is requested to increase the Tropical contract to address the landscape rehabilitation needs for a not to exceed amount of $100,000 a year for the first year and $100,000 for the second year if the option is exercised. The new total amount of the contract after the proposed increase and if all the options were exercised would be $650,000. Process Communication Developers Inc. In January 2008, as a result of a competitive solicitation, the Commission entered into an agreement with Process Communication Developers, Inc. to provide for on -call general commuter rail station maintenance for $100,000 a year for three years. Since that time the contractor has demonstrated an ability to be responsive and perform quality work. Staff has deemed this contractor to be vital to the successful implementation of the rehabilitation and security plans for this project and as such, is recommending that its contract be amended for an increase of $300,000 to account for the additional work. Process would provide the type of maintenance activities currently being performed under the existing contract such as, installation of fencing, bollards, lighting upgrades, window replacement, station access and platform improvements, signage, and a variety of other general requirements identified in the plan. The new total amount of the contract after the proposed increase and if all the options were exercised would be $600,000. Inland Vault and Security Since June 2004, the Commission has utilized Inland Vault. and Security as the primary contractor to maintain, repair, and expand the commission's closed circuit security system (CCTV). The original contract for CCTV maintenance was for $30,000 a year and since then it has been amended four times, due to the contractor's quality work and the need to increase the scope to address additional repairs. This contractor has intimate knowledge of the commission's complex CCTV system and would be the most capable vendor to provide for an expanded Agenda Item 9 • • 12 " " CCTV network as identified in the security plan. This contractor will be utilized for the security plan and the contract will need to be increased for a not to exceed amount of $150,000, with the work performed before the contract expires in June 2009. The work this contractor would perform includes installation of video cameras, upgrade of recording and monitoring equipment, upgrade of fiber optic connections, and redesign of the entire video monitoring configuration. The new total amount of the contract after the proposed increase would be $360,000. Burlington. Northern Santa Fe A new contract needs to be developed with Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) to provide for assistance for security and rehabilitation projects that fall within its right-of-way. Because BNSF is the only entity permitted to work within its right-of-way, award of a sole source contract with BNSF is requested to provide for certain projects along its property. One of the major projects identified for BNSF to perform is expansion of the track fencing the keeps pedestrians from crossing the track in and around our stations. This work was identified in the Commission's security plan and BNSF has provided direction that its maintenance crews are willing and able to do the work. In addition, BNSF maintenance crews will be required for flagging services to protect workers completing other aspects of the security and rehabilitation projects. The proposed agreement with BNSF will be for a term of two years in an amount not -to -exceed $150,000. The work this contractor would perform includes installation of track fencing, pedestrian crossing upgrades, flagging services and rail related improvements as needed. Financial Impact There is no budget adjustment required for these actions as both of the Proposition 1 B funding sources have been included the current FY 2008/09 budget and the expenditures for property improvements and repairs. The proposed contracts total $800,000, which is 28% of the $2,825,566 in Proposition 1B funds. The remaining contracts for implementation of the rehabilitation and security plans will be competitively bid and brought to the Commission for approval at a later date.

Such services address the needs of transit dependent riders as well as help mitigate congestion and the necessity for expensive parking capacity at the Commission stations. The Commission is working to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of transit connections. In order to meet these requirements, the Commission has worked with Metrolink and local transit operators to offer connecting services to and from Riverside County Metrolink stations at no cost for those with valid Metrolink tickets. Within Riverside County, services include free transfers to routes operated by Riverside Transportation Agency (RTA), RTA's Commuter Link service and Corona Cruiser. The following graphs show total monthly Metrolink transfer passenger trips on each of the three services. 3,500 3,000 o a 2,500 r 0 2.000 1,500 1,000 ��01 01 01 Passenger Trips RTA Fixed Route 01 O�� 0 0$ Ob �� 09) 5)9' 0`b 09) cf.  yo.1 Ooci ��<��'0 ��a; pQc ��a�� yap` Month Monthly Metrolink transfer trips on RTA's connecting fixed routes (1, 3, 15, 16, 21, 29, and 38) totaled 3,417 for the month of July, an increase of 542 trips, and 18.85% less than the month of June.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Proposition 1, or the Safe, Reliable High -Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the 21 st Century will appear on the November 2008 ballot and asks voters to approve the issuance of $9.95 billion of general obligation bonds. This would partially fund a $40 billion, 800-mite high speed train under the supervision of the California High -Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA). The train would run between San Francisco and Los Angeles, with Anaheim designated as the southern terminus of the initial segment of the high-speed rail (HST) system. Estimates are that the rail system would be completed in 2030, and that it would take passengers between San Francisco and Los Angeles in about 2 hours and 40 minutes. A total of $950 million of the bond proceeds would be available for capital projects on other passenger rail lines to provide connectivity to the high-speed rail system and for capacity enhancements and safety improvements to those lines. Proposition 1 came about from the Legislature's approval of SB 1856 back in 2002. That bill directed that the bond measure be put forward to the voters in 2004. Subsequent legislation pushed the election off until 2006 and another postponement moved the item to this year's General Election ballot. Agenda Item 11 22 The delays were the result of various state budget problems in 2004 and the effort was nixed in 2006 because of the Governor's concern that it would divert attention and support away from his infrastucture bond program. Legislative intrigue has not been limited to the two postponements. This year, Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani (D-Stockton) introduced AB 3034, which amends and expands descriptions of route segments of the high speed rail system, makes the $9 billion for high-speed trains available on all of the 800 mile high-speed rail route, limits the amount of bond funds that can be spent on preconstruction and preliminary engineering activities, requires detailed funding plans for each corridor or usable segment, and establishes peer review and legislative oversight and approval. Opening up the entire route for funding eligibility means that extensions to San Diego which would likely include an alignment through Riverside County, would make funding available for local rail improvements. This would be Especially, true regarding the $950 million that is being made available for complementary rail services. Without the amendments provided by AB 3034, high-speed rail bond proceeds would only be made available for the initial, priority segment between Anaheim and San Francisco. The Commission took a SUPPORT position on AB 3034 at its June Commission meeting primarily because of the liberalized funding eligibility and because the bill requires greater accountability and oversight over the CHSRA. While the bill has garnered widespread support, prompt action from the Legislature was necessary given the impending election in November. The Legislature finally approved the bill on Wednesday August 13 and immediately sent it to Governor Schwarzenegger, who has vowed to veto all bills from the Legislature until a budget is passed. To further complicate the issue, August 16 is the deadline day for information to rnake it into the voter information book that is sent out by the Secretary of State. If the Governor vetoes the bill, the original form of the high-speed rail bond act will appear on the ballot as Proposition 1. Should he act after the August 16 deadline, it will likely have to appear on the ballot as Proposition 1A and a supplemental ballot pamphlet at greater cost to the state. At the time, the Governor has yet to act on this proposition. Memorandum of Understanding Sought - Action Postponed Although passage of a _$9 billion bond is far from certain and, possible construction still years off into the future, that hasn't stopped some interests from quickly acting to capitalize on the potential opportunities that this bond act could create. The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) is keenly interested in evaluating the high-speed rail alignments that could serve San Diego County and Agenda Item 11 • • • 23 " has been in communication with the CHSRA, San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG), the San Diego Regional Airports Authority, and the Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) to develop a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for planning studies for what is dubbed as the "Los Angeles to San Diego via Riverside Corridor." While there was limited staff contact, the Commission never received a formal invitation or proposal to develop an MOU. One meeting that would have included the executive directors from the various agencies was scheduled in Los Angeles in June and was cancelled on the morning of the scheduled meeting. .� Still, a draft MOU was placed on SCAG's Transportation Committee Agenda on August 7. A copy of the agenda item is attached to this staff report. SCAG Transportation Committee voted to postpone action on the MOU until December when the fate of the bond issue will be known. This action was recommended by Commissioners Ron Roberts and Robin Lowe who were surprised by the proposal after the paucity of outreach from SANDAG and SCAG. Commissioner Roberts also pointed to a number of studies that have been completed regarding this high-speed alignment. A great deal of work has been completed in prior years regarding this alignment and the Commission has previously taken action to support this particular alignment along with a provision suggesting a neutral position regarding the kind of rail technology that might be used. " " The MOU in and of itself does not bind the Commission financially with the exception of the staff time that would be involved. The proposed MOU also has a strong emphasis on. San Diego County's need to develop a Regional Air -Rail Network Study. That was required by state legislation and the county agencies are interested in possible rail links to an airport location. Staff agrees that the Commission needs to be at the table regarding these discussions because of its impact on Riverside County. The MOU could provide a framework for cooperation between various agencies. However staff is also supportive of the action that was taken by the SCAG Transportation Committee to postpone consideration of the MOU until December. Voter approval of this bond measure is far from certain especially if AB 3034 is vetoed. Even with the amendments provided by AB 3034, it is prudent to consider the potential fiscal impacts of issuing $9 billion in debt during trying economic times for the state. Yet another issue to consider regarding the MOU is whether approval of it would be construed as Commission support for this particular bond act. The Commission has not taken a formal position regarding the Safe, Reliable High -Speed Passenger Train Bond Act for the 21' Century and the issue should be considered by the Commission. Staff recommends that a recommendation on the bond act return to the next meeting of the Budget and Implementation Committee in September for Agenda Item 11 24 full Commission action in October. The extra time will be helpful in determining what actually appears on the ballot and legislative items are often under the purview of the Budget and Implementation Committee, although input regarding the MOU and the larger matter of high speed rail would be of great assistance to staff and the Commission in providing guidance on the issue.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In July 2007, $162.7 million in Proposition 1 B funds were awarded by the California Transportation Commission for 12 grade separation projects and the I-215/Van Buren Interchange  all projects located in Riverside County. Since that time, Commission staff has been working closely with staff from the cities of Banning, Corona, and Riverside and the county of Riverside (project sponsors) to finalize the TCIF baseline agreements and supporting documents. A parallel activity has been continued discussions with the Southern California Working Group, which consists of agency staff from the Commission, SCAG, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Orange County Transportation Authority, San Bernardino Associated Governments, Port of Los Angeles, Port of Long Beach, Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority, and the Alameda Corridor East Construction Authority (Working Group). The Working Group was instrumental in securing the TCIF funds for the Los Angeles/Inland Empire Corridor. Since that time, the Working Group has identified a need to provide follow-up activities related to the TCIF funding, including potential assessment of additional data needs as well as continuous outreach activities critical to fully documenting and supporting the TCIF submittals. SCAG, acting as the lead agency, is securing the consultant services of Green Tech Coast at a total not to exceed cost of $70,000. Green Tech's principal, Walter Baker, was a former senior executive with the Los Angeles Economic Development Agenda Item 12 26 Corporation (LAEDC). While at LAEDC, Mr. Baker worked with four of the past governors of California to establish the Southern California Leadership Council - enabling business leaders from six Southern California Counties to address public policy issues critical to the Southern California economy and quality of life. To support the consultant services, staff is requesting an allocation of $7,778 which represents the Commission's proportional share of the consultant work. Following are the highlights of the proposed scope of work: 1) California Public Utilities Commission: Green Tech will develop an expedited utilities relocation process for TCIF projects; 2) Working with the California Air Resources Board, Green Tech will obtain air emission reduction mitigation support letters required for the TCIF environmental clearance process as identified in the project baseline agreements; 3) Preparation of the TCIF project's Economic Benefit 2010 report summary; 4) In support of the TGIF submittals, Green Tech will provide support and work to facilitate publication and distribution of editorial(s); and 5) Green Tech will provide assistance to the Los Angeles/Inland Empire Corridor in the next state budget post appropriation process to coordinate the corridor's interest between the railroads, the Department of Finance, Controller and the Administration's finance staff.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In September 2006, WRCOG organized a "first -ever" effort in the Inland Empire to bring together leaders (mayors and members of the Board of Supervisors from Riverside and San Bernardino Counties) in signing a statement of purpose emphasizing the impact of goods movement on the region, and reemphasizing their commitment to regional collaboration with neighboring counties who are, and will be impacted, by the significant growth from increased port activities at the Long Beach and Los Angeles Ports. With more than 70% of the containers coming through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach traveling through the Inland Empire, leaders from the two counties and more than two dozen of the cities met to sign an Elected Officials Statement emphasizing that goods movement must become Southern California's overriding priority. Based on the event, the Boards of Supervisors from both counties passed joint resolutions in support of the effort. Since that time, the Commission, working in partnership with members of the Southern California Consensus Group', has taken a lead role in the goods ' Consists of staffs from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority, Alameda Corridor East Construction Authority, Riverside County Transportation Commission, San Bernardino Associated Governments, Orange County Transportation Authority, Agenda Item 13 31 movement arena for Riverside County. To date, efforts include the 2006 grade separation funding strategy, the completion of the Multi -County Goods Movement Action Plan = a master plan for goods movement in the region, and the on -going Environmental Justice Analysis and Community Outreach Study effort — a three -county study reviewing the impacts of goods movement. An additional work effort was the submittal of applications to the California Transportation Commission securing $162.7 million in Proposition 1 B funds for 12 grade separations and the I-2151Van Buren Interchange project. Discussion: WRCOG recently received a grant of 070,000 from SCAG to advance the work it started in September 2006. To avoid duplication of work efforts, WRCOG approached the Commission to enter into a MOU to promote goods movement through the Inland Empire. In a letter dated May 30, 2008 from SCAG, SCAG confirmed WRCOG's request to coordinate work efforts by the two agencies and to include SCAG in a three -party MOU. Through preliminary discussions with WRCOG and SCAG, it is anticipated that the work product for the Inland Empire goods movement initiative will include the following elements: • Compendium of studies and accomplishments on goods movement as it relates to the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and other points of entry in Southern California; • Workshop on goods movement to include an overview of goods movement projects, project status, and potential future funding sources from federal, state and local sources; and • Update of the Commission's 2007 goods movement video and circulation of the video to key federal legislators. Over the next several weeks, it is anticipated that the scope of work will be finalized to further refine agency responsibilities. Commission staff is requesting approval to enter into an MOU with WRCOG and SCAG to receive $56,000 of the $70,000 in SCAG funds as a "pass through" to conduct the work.
