3. Coordinate with staff to review the recommendations and take direction from:
staff as to the best approach for moving forward.
4 Design the station improvements based on staff direction and provide bid
ready design and scope specification documents.
The evaluation and design process is anticipated to be completed within nine
months. Once completed the designs and recommendations will be included in
construction bid packages to be publically advertised and awarded. These
contracts will be brought back to the Commission for approval.
Selection Process
The Calendar of events was as follows:
Distribution of RFQ
Bidders Information Meeting (not mandatory)
Proposals were Delivered to the Commission prior to 2 p.m.
Short Listed Firms were Notified
Interviews of Short Listed Firms
Selected Firm Notified
August 14, 2008
August 21, 2008
September 4, 2008
September 10, 2008
September 11, 2008
September 18, 2008
An evaluation panel of representatives from the Commission and Bechtel was
assembled to review the eight proposals that were received. The panel narrowed
the list to two proposals based on quality, experience, and expertise of the bidders.
Both firms demonstrated that they would be capable of completing the proposed
scope of work and were interviewed. After careful evaluation of the personnel of
the proposed project teams, knowledge of the project, and proposed project
approach, the panel ranked Cornerstone Studios, Inc. as the most qualified firm
followed by VA Consulting, Inc.
Staff recommends that the Commission award this contract to Cornerstone Studios
to provide on -call design and engineering services in support of the Plan, based on
the attached project scope. The amount of the contract is not to exceed
$300,000. The funding to cover this project will come from Commuter Rail's
Proposition 1 B Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement and Service
Enhancement Account (PTMISEA).

Even though the new satellite parking lot is within walking distance, the current
shuttle program with Riverside Transit Agency and the city of Corona will continue
at the new location for customer convenience. An extensive outreach program will
be implemented to let the riders know of the change well in advance of the satellite
parking lot switch.
Staff is requesting that this agreement be approved in order to continue to serve
the Metrolink riders who have been patient during the construction of the
North Main Corona parking structure. There are sufficient funds in the budget from
the existing parking lot lease to cover the entire 12 months of expenses of up to
$48,000 for this project.

Toy Train to Visit Riverside County November 29 and 30
This year's Metrolink Holiday Toy Express will visit Riverside County November 29
and 30. The Commission staff will be organizing events at each station and
accommodating the Southern California Firefighters' Spark of Love Toy Drive. The
Commission will sponsor events including food and entertainment at each Riverside
County station. Commissioners are welcome to attend and participate in the events.
Metrolink's Holiday Toy Express has been delighting audiences for more than
ten years — providing a free, enjoyable, community -based holiday experience for the
people who live and work in the areas served by Metrolink. This year will be no
different as the Holiday Toy Express travels to 50 cities throughout the Southland.
The Holiday Toy Express is a 450-ton Metrolink train decorated with giant glittering
ornaments, animated displays, and more than 50,000 twinkling lights.
2008 HOLIDAY TRAIN SCHEDULE
Saturday, November 29 North Main Corona 5:00 p.m. - 5:45 p.m.

The train travels to Metrolink station cities throughout southern California presenting a
free live musical stage show at each stop; after the show kids of all ages have the
opportunity to meet Santa and his friends after the show. The Holiday Toy Express

collects and distributes toys to needy children encouraging audience members to
share their holiday spirit by donating a new unwrapped toy at the show.

Parking Structure Construction Proceeds as Anticipated at North Main Corona
Construction of a new six -story parking structure at the North Main Corona Metrolink
station is continuing as anticipated and is officially more than halfway completed.
Opening of the structure is scheduled for the fall of 2009. On January 4, 2008, the
affected portion of the parking lot was closed. To compensate for the decrease of
239 spaces, the Commission leased 300 spaces as an auxiliary parking lot at the
former Edwards movie theater. Corona Cruiser initiated shuttle service on February
26. Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) began providing additional shuttle service on
January 7, transporting morning and evening Metrolink commuters to and from the
station and auxiliary lot. This shuttle designated by RTA as the 'Route` 206 "Hopper"
transported 3,068 North Main Corona Metrolink station patrons during the month of
September. This equates to 146 passengers daily. Additionally, RTA augmented
Route 3 to now serve as a shuttle for mid -day passengers.

Connecting Transit Service Performance
The Commission's role facilitating interconnectivity between Metrolink and connecting
transit services is essential to ongoing system viability. 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.

and to provide a recommendation for the continuation of funding for the project.
On October 13, 2008, RTA submitted a letter recommending continuation of
funding for the demonstration project.
DISCUSSION
As of July 1, 2008, $128,800 remains of the original $400,000 set aside by the
Commission for the demonstration project. This amount would allow for a
continuation of the service until May of 2009.
Ridership statistics indicate that Route 794 is productive for both OCTA and RTA.
In FY 2008, using shuttle sized coaches, the route carried 10.6 passengers per
hour and had a farebox recovery ratio of 57% for OCTA and 100% for RTA.
Given that this project is successful and in consideration of the RTA
recommendation to continue funding the service, the staff recommendation is for
the Commission to approve funding the project to the extent that the original
$400,000 approved by the Commission is exhausted. Staff further recommends
that an additional $13,200 be allocated to ensure service operation is continued
until the end of the current fiscal year. The total FY 2008/09 staff recommended
funding for this service is $142,000.
At the end of this fiscal year and upon approval of this item, the Commission will
have met and exceeded its obligation toward this demonstration project. Should
RTA wish to continue the service, staff further recommends that RTA shall then
fund the ongoing operation of the route through its traditional transit related
allocations with no additional Measure A funding coming from the Commuter
Assistance Program.

containers are for local delivery within the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB);
approximately 13.5% will be destined for national markets by 2030;
• The project will generate 303,996 train trips to and from off -dock rail yards
by 2030;
• 634,864 annual truck trips within the SCAB and an additional 170,762
annual truck trips outside the SCAB district is projected;
• The project's region of influence (R01) is defined as five counties:
Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura; however the
impact analysis is focused only on the port and its surrounding areas. The
following table provides an overview of the cumulative effect of vehicle
delay as a result of the additional containers:

• Although SR-60, SR-91, and 1-15 serve as key transportation corridors for
freight movement to and from the ports, the draft EIS/EIR did not evaluate
traffic impacts in Riverside County;

the projects. Additionally, the Commission extended an offer to meet with port
management to further discuss the impacts that the port's actions are projected to
have in order to develop feasible mitigation. Since that time, the Port of Los
Angeles has contacted the Commission and Chair Stone requesting a meeting. The
Port of Long Beach has not yet responded although the period to receive written
responses has passed.
Staff's recommendation is to continue to monitor the ports' activities; if the
concerns identified are not addressed, staff will seek further direction from the
Commission.
