4A1 RESOLUTION NO. 92-020, 'RESOLUTION OF THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSITION 156'
Overview
In 1989, the Legislature enacted AB 973 (Costa), which required that three
separate $1 billion bond measures for rail transit purposes appear on successive
statewide ballots. This legislation was an integral part of the 'Transportation
Blueprint for the 21 st Century.' The voters enacted the first measure, Proposition
108, in November 1990. The second $1 billion bond measure will appear on this
November's ballot as Proposition 156. Failure of this and the subsequent bond
measure in 1994 to pass, not only will result in the loss of needed rail monies, but
will seriously impact the State Transportation Program (STIP). The estimated
impact to Riverside County is $50 million.
Staff Recommendation
That the Commission support the passage of Proposition 156.

4B1 COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH CALTRAN$ FOR PROJECT COST AND
SCHEDULE SERVICES '
Overview
During the 1992 fiscal year, RCTC staff assisted Caltrans with scheduling of
Riverside County projects in order to better assess the Cattrans resource
requirements relative to the Measure A highway projects. Caltrans has requested
additional cost and schedule support for the 1993 fiscal year. Cattrans has
indicated that RCTC will be fully reimbursed in the form of services by Caltrans
for the Commission. These services shall include construction inspection
services on the Route 91 projects and right-of-way support services as outlined
in the Agreement included with the agenda package.
Budget & Finance Committee and Staff Recommendation:
That the Commission: (1) approve the draft agreement for RCTC to provide
project cost and schedule services to Caltrans for the 1993 fiscal year in the
amount of $320,000; and (2) Authorize execution of the agreement by RCTC
Chairman and Executive Director.
4B2 CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 2 FOR AGREEMENT NO. RO-9002 WITH KAWES
AND ASSOCIATES, FOR CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
Overview
The Route 91 Median Widening Project, from the Orange County Line to Main
Street in the City of Corona, started construction in July of 1991. It is currently on
schedule and is expected to be complete by June of 1993. The Commission had
previously approved an amendment to KaWES' contract in March of 1991 for
Page 4
RCTC Agenda
September 9, 1992
$150,000. There have been several problem areas that have surfaced during
project construction that required additional engineering effort not foreseen in the
original estimate. The details of the contract amendment are outlined in the staff
memorandum.
Budget & Finance Committee and Staff Recommendation
That the Commission approve Amendment No. 2 to Contract RO-9002 in the
amount of $60,000 for technical support of construction activities on the Route
91, Orange County Line to Main Street, Measure A Highway Improvement Project.
Amendment to be reviewed by Legal Counsel prior to approval.
4B3 CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO "OR AGREEMENT RO-9101 WITH GREINER, INC.,
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING r. J FINAL DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE ROUTE 91
MEDIAN WIDENING PROJECT, FROM MAGNOLIA AVENUE TO MARY STREET
Overview
Greiner is requesting an amendment to Agreement No. RO-9101 for
compensation due to the addition of extra scope of work to the original
milestones set forth in Amendment Number Two, for the PS&E work task. This
additional work scope is a result of several situations that have occurred since
the approval of amendment number two.
Budget & Finance Committee and Staff Recommendation
That the Commission approve the contract Amendment No. 3 to Agreement RO-
9101 in the amount of $225,260.92.
4B4 COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS FOR THE FOLLOWING MEASURE A HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS: 1) ROUTE 79, FROM GILMAN SPRING ROAD TO
FIRST STREET IN THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: AND 2) ROUTE 79, FROM KELLER
ROAD TO NEWPORT ROAD
Overview
The Measure A plan calls for improvements on Route 79 for the two projects
referenced in the staff memorandum. Normally, Cooperative Agreements are
entered into at the onset of preliminary engineering for the project. Because of
the difficulty in reaching agreement on the exact wording for one of the first
Cooperative Agreements initiated for the 1-215 Measure A projects, and to keep
that project and all other Measure A projects moving towards completion of
preliminary engineering and environmental clearance, the project development
process was initiated by RCTC on many projects without resolution of the
Cooperative Agreement language. The Cooperative Agreements for Route 79
were patterned after the wording of the 1-215 Agreement on which RCTC and
Caltrans have reached resolution.

Road (PM 15.2).
4C CONSENT CALENDAR - TRANSIT/RIDESHARE/PARK-N-RIDE
4C1 MEASURE A COMMUTER BICYCLING DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM
Overview
The Riverside Bicycle Commuter Coalition (RBCC) submitted a FY91/92
Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) proposal to promote bicycling
as a safe and viable commuting alternative. While the proposal was not funded
under the CMAQ process, staff has evaluated its merits and application to the
Measure A Commuter Assistance Program. The RBCC Board has indicated its
willingness to enter into an agreement with the Commission to develop and
implement a demonstration program. Staff has identified those tasks of the
CMAQ proposal most consistent with the overall Measure A Program. The goal
of the demonstration effort is to determine its effectiveness in shifting local work
related trips from the automobile to the bicycle.
Budget & Flnance Committee and Staff Recommendation
That the Commission: 1) Direct staff to negotiate and finalize an agreement with
the Riverside Bicycle Commuter Coalition, pursuant to the attached CMAQ
proposal, for the development and implementation of a Commuter Bicycling
Demonstration Program; 2) Approve the agreement as negotiated by staff,
subject to legal counsel review, and authorize the Executive Director to execute,
on behalf of the Commission, said agreement with RBCC; and 3) Approve the
expenditure of Measure A Commuter Assistance funds in an amount not to
exceed $160,000 for the bicycle commuter program for the period September '92
through June '93.
4C2 MEASURE A LEASE PARK-N-RIDE PROGRAM
Overview
The Commission has contracted with Inland Transportation Services (ITS) for the
past two years to negotiate and manage park-n-ride lease agreements with
private property owners. Seven lots totalling 435 spaces have been negotiated.
Consultant services continue to be required on an as needed basis to secure and
renew leases, and market lots to increase commuter use. Based on performance
and program continuity, the ITS agreement is proposed to be extended for a third
year.

subject to Legal Counsel review, amendment of the existing contract for lease
park-n-ride services with Inland Transportation Services at hourly rates of
$65/Project Manager and $45/Marketing Specialist; (2) Authorize the Executive
Director to execute the amended agreement on behalf of the Commission, and;
(3) Allocate Measure A highway funds in an amount not to exceed 20% of the
total annual lease space costs for the period August 15, 1992 to August 15, 1993.

6. STATE BUDGET IMPACT ON TRANSPORTATION
Overview
There have been several Legislative proposals for the State Budget to use transportation revenues
to redi; :a the State deficit. The most significant is to use 20% of the Transportation Development
Act (TEA) which is returned to all counties for transit and may also be used under specified
condition for local streets and roads purposes in most counties including Riverside County. The
Commission staff and Legislative Advocates have been monitoring and these proposals and
advising our Legislators of our concerns along with other Regional Transportation Planning
Agencies (RTPA's) throughout the state. A report will be presented at the Commission meeting.
Staff Recommendation
Discussion and possible action.

8. AMENDMENT 3 TO PBQ&D CONTRACT
Overview
Recently, management direction has both delayed and changed the scope of the HOV lane
addition for Interstate 215 from the east junction with State Route 60 north to Interstate 10. The
result of these changes is that additional alternatives will now have to be studies, the project limits
have increased on the east, west, and south in order to properly tie into adjacent projects, the
environmental study for the Ultimate alternative will be rescoped as a Tier 1 study, and the
preferred alternative will be a full standard HOV addition (one lane in each direction) throughout
the project limits.
Budget & Finance Committee and Staff Recommendation
That the Commission: (1) Extend the Parsons contract by $672,973 which is $242,525 over and
above the amount that is currently available from the existing extra work. Staff further
recommends that an additional $150,000 be maintained in extra work for future scope changes
to the contract. The total additional commitment to the Parsons contract will be $392,525; and
(2) Direct staff to renegotiate the present 75/25 percentage split between RCTC and SANBAG for
a split of 80/20 +/- 2%; and (3) Provide policy direction to staff to assist in keeping the project
focused on delivery of an alternative that is within the funding limits of the Measure Program.

9. FY 1992-93 SB 821 BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES PROGRAM
Overview
An Evaluation Committee met on August 18, 1992 to review the project applications for bicycle
and pedestrian projects to be funded under the Commission's SB 821 Program. Project
proposals were received from 15 agencies including 8 bikeway proposals and 12 sets of various
sidewalk improvement projects. The total funds requested amounted to over $1.6 million, but the
available funding is only $479,503, excluding $84,000 reserved to off -set the possible 20% State
reduction in Local Transportation Funds.
SB 821 Evaluation Committee Recommendation
That the Commission: (1) Approve the proposed FY 1992-93 SB 821 Program as recommended
on the attached schedule; (2) Release the conditions attached the FY 1991-92 SB 821 Program
allocation made to the County of Riverside for $100,000 and make the funds available to the
County; (3) Honor the claim from the City of Desert Hot Springs for $6,465 in FY 1990-91 SB 821
Program funds and advise the City that this will not be allowed in the future, and; (4) Ask the City
Managers and Mayors from the Cities of Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage to become involved to
see if a workable solution can be found for the Monterey Avenue Bikeway project, giving the cities
until December 31, 1992 to submit an acceptable project.
10. STATUS REPORT ON SB 1402 INTER -COUNTY BUS PLAN
Overview
Senate Bill 1402 requires the county transportation commissions for the Counties of Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino to jointly develop an implementation program for regional
transit services. The deadline for submitting the plan is December 1992. Staff from each
commission and the affected public transit operators have been meeting regularly with the
consultant and an Executive Steering Committee. Staff will present a status report to the
Commission, as well as policies proposed by the Executive Steering Committee.

12. FREEWAY SERVICE PATROL PROGRAM FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY
Overview
At the August Commission meeting, the SAFE Board deferred action on implementing a Freeway
Service Patrol (FSP) program in Riverside County because the State funding level was unclear
and the program had been targeted to be cut to help balance the State budget. The amount of
State funding, if any, will not be known until the State budget is adopted. Also, legislative action
on AB 3346 (Katz) has been tabled until adoption of the budget. At this time, staff is not prepared
to proceed with the implementation of a Freeway Service Patrol program in Riverside County until
the State budget is adopted and the amount of State funding is known. Both Caltrans and CHP
staff concur with this action.
Budget & Finance Committee and Staff Recommendation
That the SAFE Board: (1) Subject to obtaining clarification of the State budget action as well as
a review of the chaptered legislation (AB 3346), direct staff to proceed with the implementation
of a 'Pilot' Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program in Riverside County authorizing the use of up
to $76,160 of FY 1992-93 SAFE funds with the condition that should State funding be terminated
or amended to require the Riverside County SAFE to participate at a significantly greater level of
local funding, the program could be discontinued, and (2) Authorize the Executive Director to
execute a Memorandum of Understanding, subject to Legal Counsel review, with CaRrans and the
California Highway Patrol for the development and implementation of the Freeway Service Patrol
program in Riverside County.
13. VALUE ENGINEERING REVIEW OF DOWNTOWN COMMUTER RAIL STATION
Overview
RCTC, Bechtel, and SCRRA staff are performing a value engineering review of the design for the
downtown commuter rail station. R is expected that the review will be complete and a report will
be made to the Commission. Several cost saving options will be presented.
Staff Recommendation
That the Commission receive the report and provide direction on cost saving options to be
implemented.
14. PLANNING, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND ENGINEERING DESIGN CONSULTANT CONTRACT FOR
COMMUTER RAIL STATION AT LIMONITE AVENUE AND PEDLEY ROAD
Overview
The second commuter rail station on the Union Pacific line from Riverside to Los Angeles is
proposed to be located on 4.6 Acres of property currently owned by Union Pacific near the
intersection of Limonite Avenue and Pedley Road in Riverside County. RCTC recently completed
a selection process to rank consultants to complete site planning; environmental study and
clearance; and preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates for commuter rail stations in
the Metrolink system. The top ranked firm in the selection process was Pountney and Associates.
"-Nge 11
TC Agenda
September 9, 1992
Budget & Finance Committee and Staff Recommendation
That the Commission approve the contract with Pountney and Associates for completion of
planning, environmental, and design services for the proposed Umonite-Pedley commuter rail
station. The final proposed consultant cost is $254,749.93 for all three phases. Negotiations
resulted in several items being added to Poutney's work effort and some reduction in hours and
cost for other items. Staff also recommends that a 15% contingency fund be established for extra
work to be authorized by the Executive Director. The currently proposed total work authorization
by the Commission including the 15% extra work fund would be $293,000.
15. DEVELOP RAIL PARCEL INFORMATION DATABASE FOR RCTC
Overview
The Commission currently owns parcels at various locations that were acquired to facilitate project
development for both highways and rail. A database system can be designed to keep track of
the important information that is associated with each parcel as well as any legal agreements or
documents associated with each parcel.,
Budget & Finance Committee and Staff Recommendation
That the Commission direct staff to: (1) Modify Kevin Odom's existing contract, subject to Legal
Counsel modifications, if any, to add the creation of an additional database that will assist Staff
in managing the property that it will own. The cost of this new property database is not to exceed
$5,000; and (2) Purchase one additional copy of Foxpro Software for use by consultants if
needed, to use the database on a machine outside the RCTC office for a price of $544 + tax.
16. DILEMMA WITH OCTA - ALTERNATIVE COMMUTER RAIL DIRECTION
Overview
The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA) staff have not been able to reach an understanding regarding Riverside to
Orange County commuter rail service. Our failure to develop a mutually acceptable alternative
has the potential of unraveling the Santa Fe negotiations. The Riverside to Orange County
Commuter Rail Dilemma: Alternatives for Consideration paper describes in some detail the issues
and alternatives appropriate for consideration. It is desirable for the Commission to provide policy
direction to staff as we continue to negotiate with Santa Fe and the other County Agencies,
particularly OCTA.
Staff Recommendation
That the Commission support the following:
1. RCTC's willingness to full financial participation in acquisition of the Santa Fe's San
Bemardino Subdivision use right easement ($23.7 million) and trackage improvements on
that line ($29.81 million) should be conditioned upon OCTA approving an enforceable
agreement to the Four Train Alternative, including RCTC holding title to the easement.
This would be an initial level of service, and OCTA should initiate the process to amend
their Measure M plan to eliminate the four train cap;
2. RCTC should be willing to acquire the use right easement ($23.7 million) without an
Page 12
RCTC Agenda
September 9, 1992
immediate Riverside to Orange County commuter rail service commitment, so long as
RCTC holds title to the easement. However, other agencies would have to assume
financial responsibility for trackage improvements to Santa Fe's satisfaction. Measure A
and State funding currently committed to capital improvements should then be reserved,
pending continuing negotiations with OCTA toward an acceptable level of Riverside to
Orange County commuter rail service and Measure M plan amendment;
3. If it is not politically possible for RCTC to hold title to the entire use right easement, RCTC
should reduce its commitment for funding participation of both trackage improvements
and its share of costs to acquire the easement. The Commission should determine if the
level of such participation would include its proportionate share of use right within
Riverside County ($8.4 million with title to be held by SCRRA and hope for some Riverside
to Orange County service at some time in the future) or that portion between San
Bernardino and West Riverside ($700,000 with title to the remainder most likely held by
OCTA and little hope for future service).
17. FY 1993-94 TRANSIT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT (TCI) PROJECT SUBMITTALS
Overview
Staff has developed and submitted two additional FY 1993-94 TCI applications for the construction
of Pierce Street and Serfas Club Drive commuter rail applications. At the August meeting, the
Commission acted to resubmit the balance of the FY 1992-93 TCI application for the Downtown
Riverside commuter rail station. The California Transportation Commission approved $4.5 million
for Downtown Riverside commuter rail station and committed to fulfill the balance of the grant at
an unspecified later time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Commission concur with staffs submittal of the Pierce Street and Serfas Club Drive
projects for consideration in the FY 1993-94 TCI cycle.
18. SECTION 9 PROGRAM OF PROJECTS AMENDMENTS - PEDLEY STATION
Overview
At the August meeting, Commission approved a Section 9 Program of Projects amendment to
include construction and acquisition of the Pedley Commuter Rail Station. At that time, RCTC was
to be the direct FTA grantee for these funds. We have since been informed that using Riverside
Transit Agency as the grantee to FTA would facilitate grant approval. Having RTA be the grantee
for this project requires RCTC to enter into a supplemental agreement for the use of these funds
and to amend the Program of Projects to identify RTA as the grantee.
Staff Recommendation
That the Commission: (1) Approve the Section 9 Program of Projects amendment, subject to the
public hearing, and; (2) Authorize the Executive Director to enter into a supplemental agreement
with RTA to apply the funds to the acquisition and construction of the Pedley Commuter Rail
Station, subject to legal counsel review and RTA Board approval.

19. RELOCATION OF TENANTS AT PIERCE STREET.
Overview
RCTC has acquired the 14.48 acres previously owned by C. A. Humphries at Pierce St. and
Magnolia Ave in the City of Riverside. On this property are 7 housing units (3 vacant) that were
rented by Mr. Humphries. Bechtel prepared a Relocation Study (attached) which describes the
Pierce Street property, rental units and the relocation process in detail. Since RCTC acquired the
property and will eventually construct a commuter rail station on the site the existing tenants will
need to be relocated in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Relocation Study. The
Relocation Study is provided herein for the Commission's information. Also, to fully inform RCTC
of the process that is involved with relocating the 4 occupied households existing on RCTC
property.
Staff Recommendation:
Receive and file.
20. INFORMATION TO COMMISSIONERS REGARDING RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITIONS
Overview
Recent experience with some negotiated rights -of -way acquisitions have resulted in some
concerns by Commissioners that they may not be fully aware of all issues before transactions are
completed. However, since negotiations for acquisition of property are items appropriate for
closed sessions, it is not possible to provide published reports or summaries to Commissioners.
The staff memorandum will deal with options to address the Commissioners' concerns.
Staff Recommendation
The Commission should direct staff to prepare a Right -of -Way Summary Report for all parcels
considered by the Commission in closed session. Staff should individually review the reports with
Commissioners unable to attend closed sessions.
21. ROLE AND RESPONSIBIUTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE
Overview
This agenda item will discuss the role and responsibility of the Administrative Committee and give
Commissioners opportunity to input and reassess the function of the Committee.
Staff Recommendation
Discussion for possible recommendation.
