11. PROPOSED METROLINK BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011/12
Sheldon Peterson, Rail Manager, presented an overview of the proposed
Metrolink budget for fiscal year 2011 /12.
In response to Commissioner Kotyuk question regarding the correlation
between ridership, unemployment, and fuel prices, Sheldon Peterson stated
Metrolink's research director has found that fuel prices have not shown a
direct impact on ridership until fuel prices exceed $4.50 per gallon. A direct
correlation between unemployment and ridership has not been determined.
Commissioner Kotyuk then asked for Metrolink's rationale for converting
previously contract positions into in-house.
Sheldon Peterson stated John Fenton, Metrolink CEO, believes that it can
lower costs by bringing specific positions in-house based on a cost -saving
analysis.
Commissioner Marion Ashley expressed concern regarding Metrolink's
estimated 8% revenue increase and asked how it was determined.
Additionally, he asked how Metrolink justified a 4% merit increase in this
economic environment.
Anne Mayer noted that for the concerns expressed in the staff report, this
action only seeks approval for the budget amount presented by Metrolink
and does not include contingencies. Staff will actively seek regular updates
from Metrolink.
Commissioner Bob Botts expressed serious concern regarding the increased
costs, specifically the 4% merit increase and increase in positions.
In response to Commissioner Buster's question regarding farebox recovery and
station costs, Sheldon Peterson stated farebox recovery does not include
station costs. The Commission provides a subsidy for maintaining the
stations.
Anne Mayer clarified that in addition to the cost of Metrolink service, the
Commission also pays for the station maintenance costs for its commuter rail
stations, which will significantly increase with the additional of the Perris
Valley Line service.

April 25, 2011
Page 6
In response to Commissioner Rush's concerns regarding bringing positions
in-house and the audit findings, Anne Mayer discussed the audit findings and
stated the goal of bringing certain positions in-house will allow Metrolink to
properly control the financial aspects of the agency as well as address safety
issues.
Commissioner Spiegel stated that she addressed the concerns outlined by
staff at a Metrolink meeting.
Commissioner Botts reiterated his concern regarding the 4% merit increase
and recommended directing staff to present the Commission's deep concern
regarding this increase and the newly created in-house positions.
Commissioner Busch assured the Committee that between the Commissioners
assigned to Metrolink, the CEO group, and staff representation on Metrolink's
Technical Advisory Committee, the Commission's concerns have been
expressed.

received, the average response time is five minutes.
In response to Commissioner Buster's concern regarding adequate flexibility
of the program to address construction or unanticipated events,

7. AGREEMENTS FOR ON -CALL CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION PUBLIC
OUTREACH SERVICES
Eliza Echevarria, Community Relations Manager, presented an overview of
the procurement process and the scope of services for on -call construction
coordination public outreach services.
At the request of Commissioner Bob Botts, Eliza Echevarria explained that by
rotating between two qualified firms, the Commission ensures there is
always a firm available in a timely manner to provide services. Each firm will
be used as needed and the agreements reflect that payment will only be
made when a service is presented.
Anne Mayer, Executive Director, added that having both firms will allow the
Commission more flexibility. There is not an increased cost because each
firm will be paid at a predetermined hourly rate through the use of a task
order.
In response to Commissioner Adam Rush's question regarding the
FY 2010/11 budget allocation in the amount of $25,000 for these services,
Eliza Echevarria explained $5,000 will be utilized for the 60/215 East
Junction project, while $20,000 is allocated for the SR-91 HOV project,
which has been delayed due to the California Transportation Commission's
deferral of its funding allocation.
Commissioner Bob Buster discussed the importance of retaining experienced
firms for these services and expressed his support for the staff
recommendation.
At Commissioner Karen Spiegel's request, Eliza Echevarria explained the
process to determine which agency is assigned to a specific task.

AGENDA ITEM 7
All of the proposals received by the April 4 deadline that were determined to be
responsive and responsible were evaluated by the evaluation committee and a short
list of those firms earning the highest total evaluation scores was established.
Interviews with the short listed firms were recently completed and the evaluation
committee has requested best and final offers (BAFOs) from these firms. Once the
BAFOs have been received and analyzed, the evaluation committee will complete
its final scoring and develop a recommendation for award. In addition to allowing
additional time for completion of the procurement process, the proposed
three-month contract extension will afford staff sufficient time, if necessary, to
transition guard services to a new firm.
For the foregoing reasons, staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 5, which
will extend the WASS contract by three months, ending October 21, 201 1; thereby
allowing staff sufficient time to complete the recent security guard services
evaluation process and, if necessary, transition to a new security guard firm.
Amendment No. 5 will increase the total contract value amount by $150,000 from
$5,401,401 to $5,551,401.

Agreement with Vendsight, Inc. to Provide a Station Advertising
Revenue Program
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Award Agreement No. 1 1-24-029-00 to Vendsight, Inc. to provide services
associated with the development, management, and maintenance of a
station advertising revenue program for a five-year term, and one five-year
option to extend the agreement, an an amount not to exceed $100,000;
2) Authorize the Chair, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the
agreement, including the option term, on behalf of the Commission; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On July 14, 2010, the Commission approved Resolution No. 10-011 adopting a
commercial advertising policy applicable to all Riverside County Metrolink stations.
The intention of the Commission was to generate revenue from the available space
of its Metrolink stations to offset increasing maintenance costs. Accordingly, the
Commission sought a competitive solution to meet these requirements. In August,
staff responded to the resolution by drafting a scope of services for a turnkey
advertising revenue program and issued Request for Proposals IRFP)
No. 1 1-24-029-00.
The awarded firm was to plan, establish, solicit, place, administer, manage, and
maintain advertisements for the space available at the Commission -owned
Metrolink stations. Both content guidelines and discretionary approval authority
remains with the Commission pursuant to the adopted policy and terms of
contract. Proposers were encouraged to visit each station to gain perspective of
the available advertising space.
Procurement Process
The procurement of a station advertising revenue program was especially
challenging because the Commission has never conducted a competitive
procurement for these services, does not have existing advertising sites in place at
the stations, the ad performance and market area are untested, and the current
advertising market is suffering due to the economic downturn. Additionally, recent
advertising solicitations by local agencies have been unsuccessful in generating any
interest from the market.
In an effort to refine the scope of services and to maximize competition and
revenue, staff arranged a series of meetings with several advertising firms that
would likely, in a stable economic environment, submit a proposal. Based on these
discussions, it was apparent that the biggest hurdle for the advertising firms is
recouping the sizeable capital investment required to place the initial advertising
program infrastructure. Since the Commission does not have existing ad sites in
place and ad performance in the local market area is untested, it was unclear
whether firms would be willing to make the capital outlay necessary to establish a
start up program. Staff issued a competitive solicitation to test the local market.
RFP No. 11-24-029-00 was released by staff and advertised on January 14.
A pre -proposal conference and job walk of the Downtown Riverside commuter rail
station was held on January 27. Staff responded to all requests for clarifications
submitted by potential proposers. One firm, Vendsight, Inc. (Vendsight), submitted
a proposal prior to the stated deadline date. Staff reached out to several
advertising firms to determine why these firms did not submit a proposal in
response to the RFP. The following reasons were given — experiencing an
advertising recession, too much risk, and insufficient staff.
The proposal Vendsight submitted was determined by staff to be a responsive and
responsible proposal. Vendsight's proposal was evaluated and scored by an
evaluation committee comprised of Commission staff. Scoring was based entirely
upon the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP. Negotiations with Vendsight were
conducted over the course of several meetings, discussions, and correspondence,
whereby contract terms were finalized. Under the terms of the proposed
agreement, Vendsight will provide the intended turnkey advertising revenue
program, at no cost to the Commission, and the Commission will receive
approximately twenty-five percent of the total gross sales calculated prior to any
deductions for maintenance, vandalism, and other program costs and expenses.
After implementation, the vendor anticipates annual revenue would be up to
$50,000. The contractor will comply with all requirements set forth in the
advertising policy including prohibition of advertising alcohol and tobacco products.
Additionally, the Commission will retain the discretion to utilize ten percent of the
advertising space for its own messages and information. Attached are photos of
Agenda Item 8
the anticipated installations. The program could be expanded with Vendsight at
the four new stations following the implementation of new service on the Perris
Valley Line.
Based on the foregoing procurement process, staff recommends the award of
Agreement No. 1 1-24-029-00 to Vendsight for station advertising revenue program
services at the five Commission -owned commuter rail stations for a five-year term,
and one five-year option to extend the agreement.

Transportation Commission Authorizing the Execution of the Certifications
and Assurances for the Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement,
and Service Enhancement Account Bond Program"; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement, and Service Enhancement
Account (PTMISEA) was created by Proposition 1 B, the Highway Safety, Traffic
Reduction, Air Quality, and Port Security Bond Act of 2006. Of the
$19.925 billion available to transportation, $3.6 billion dollars was allocated to
PTMISEA for transit operators over a 10-year period. PTMISEA funds may be used
for transit rehabilitation, safety or modernization improvements, capital service
enhancements or expansions, new capital projects, bus rapid transit improvements,
or rolling stock (buses and rail cars) procurement, rehabilitation, or replacement.
The Commission has used these funds for numerous capital projects including
construction of the Perris Station Transit Center, painting, fencing, and closed
circuit television upgrades.
Projects funded from the PTMISEA will help advance the state's policy goals of
providing mobility choices for all residents, reducing congestion, and protecting the
environment. Funds in this account are appropriated annually by the Legislature to
the state controller's office for allocation in accordance with the Public Utilities
Code formula distribution: 50% allocated to local operators based on fare -box
revenue and 50% to regional entities based on population. Ca!trans is responsible

for the PTMISEA program. Due to the current fiscal state, California bond funds
have not been sold regularly. Projects approved for funding will receive their
request when funding from bond sales become available.
Caltrans adopted a requirement of certifications and assurances for the PTMISEA
bond program. As a condition of the receipt of PTMISEA bond funds, project
sponsors must comply with these terms and conditions, which include submission
of a resolution establishing intent to comply with such regulations and the requisite

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE:

TO:
Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
FROM:
Jillian Edmiston, Staff Analyst
Brian Cunanan, Commuter Assistance Manager
THROUGH:
Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 201 1 /12 Measure A Commuter Assistance Buspool
Subsidy Funding Continuation Requests
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Authorize payment of $1,645/month maximum subsidy per buspool for the
period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012 to the existing Corona, Mira Loma,
and Riverside buspools;
2) Require subsidy recipients to meet monthly buspool reporting requirements
as supporting documentation to receive payments; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As part of the Measure A Commuter Assistance Program, the Commission provides
funding support to buspools used by Riverside County residents for their commutes
along the State Route 91 corridor. The Commission adopted the Measure A
buspool subsidy in October 1990 and established a monthly subsidy rate of $1,175
or $25/seat/month in support of commuter buspool operations. In July 2004, the
Commission set the subsidy rate at $35/seat/month ($1,645/month) to help offset
increases to operational costs during the previous 14 years. To provide additional
guidance, the Commission also established a minimum buspool ridership policy in
June 1995. The policy requires staff to report to the Commission when a
buspool's ridership falls to 25 or below and to seek direction regarding the
continuation of the buspool's subsidy.
Like all commuter assistance incentives provided by the Commission to encourage
use of alternative modes of transportation, the Measure A $35/seat/month subsidy
is administered as a user side subsidy. The Commission's subsidy is an important
factor that makes buspools an attractive alternative for these commuters with
roundtrip commutes in excess of 100 miles. Also, the Commission's subsidy
remains cost-effective compared to the typical public transit subsidy rate of 83%.
Agenda Item 10
40
While the monthly cost of each buspool varies according to the number of route
miles and the resulting negotiated service price, the Commission's monthly subsidy
reflects a subsidy rate of 13%.
Average Monthly Buspool
Fare Per Rider
$ 265.00
RCTC Subsidy

13%
Unlike some of the other Commission -approved ridesharing incentives that have a
limited term, the buspool subsidy is ongoing. To renew its annual subsidy, an
existing buspool is required to:
• Request in writing, continuation of funding from the Commission for the new
fiscal year;
• Consistently meet minimum ridership requirements; and
• Submit monthly ridership reports throughout the year.
The three existing buspools have completed all the requirements for funding as set
forth by the Commission including the submittal of monthly ridership reports and
annual funding continuation requests. They have consistently exceeded the
minimum ridership level of 25 riders per month and have collectively averaged
39 riders/ month/ buspool this current fiscal year.

In reducing the number of vehicles on SR-91 during peak periods, the buspool
program saved more than 3.6 million miles and 63,586 pounds of vehicle emissions
in FY 2010/11. The buspool subsidy proves to be an effective use of Measure A
Commuter Assistance funds and a budget of 5100,000 is proposed for
FY 2011/12. Based on the established monthly $1,645/month per buspool subsidy
policy, the funds will support the continuation of the three existing buspools plus
two new start-up buspools.
