RCTC Budget and Implementation Committee Minutes
March 28, 2016
Page 3
In response to Commissioner Linda Krupa’s question if a city has the ability to increase
its MOE base year in the event of an upward shift in the economy when more resources
are available in a city to put towards infrastructure, Theresia Trevino replied a city could
request an upward adjustment, although she would not recommend such an
adjustment due to economic cycles.
In response to Commissioner Krupa’s clarification if the MOE base year amount impacts
the percentage of the Measure A funds allocated to a city, Theresia Trevino replied the
MOE base year amount does not impact how much Measure A local streets and roads
monies are allocated. Allocations are done by formula; 75 percent of the population
and 25 percent of the sales tax earned for Western County and Palo Verde Valley, and
50 percent of taxable sales and 50 percent of dwelling units for the Coachella Valley.
She stated the amount of MOE ensures a city meets that requirement.

Riverside County has specific competitive advantages over nearby coastal counties (Los Angeles, Orange, and San
Diego) including housing that is more available and affordable as well as plentiful commercial real estate and land
available for development at lower costs. Riverside County’s economy is benefitting from employment gains that
are a function of the County’s ability to attract businesses with lower commercial rents and a skilled labor force.
Population migration to the Inland Empire (i.e., Riverside and San Bernardino counties) has occurred due to these
employment opportunities and a lower cost of living compared to the coastal counties; however, wage growth has
been flat and centered on lower and moderate incomes. Nonetheless since the last recession, improvements in
the local labor market combined with increased economic activity support stable sales tax revenue growth as
noted on Chart 1.

Sales tax revenues have continued to rebound from the economic downturn’s low point in 2010. The
Commission’s economic outlook for FY 2016/17 continues to be cautiously optimistic; however, the state and
federal budget issues continue to affect funding of the Commission’s capital projects and programs. Should
Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues fluctuate and the availability of federal and state revenues continue to be
uncertain, the timing and scope of the Commission’s projects and programs may be impacted.
While the Commission’s primary revenues are the Measure A and LTF sales taxes, other revenues and financing
sources are required to fund the Commission’s programs and projects as illustrated in Chart 2.

The State Board of Equalization (SBOE) recently provided to cities and other agencies its projections that statewide
taxable sales over the next fiscal year will increase 5.3%; however, the Commission is not basing its estimate of
revenues solely on the SBOE’s projection and will continue its conservative projection practices. After taking the
state of the local economy and recent revenue trends into consideration, staff projects Measure A sales tax
revenues of $177,000,000 for FY 2016/17. This is a 4% increase from the FY 2015/16 revised projection of
$170,000,000. At midyear the Commission will reassess sales tax revenue projections based on the economy and
revenue trends.
On behalf of the County, the Commission administers the LTF for public transportation needs, local streets and
roads, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The majority of LTF funding received by the County and available for
allocation is distributed to all public transit operators in the County, and the Commission receives allocations for
administration, planning, and programming in addition to funding for Western County rail operations included in
the commuter rail Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP). The LTF sales tax revenue received from the State is budgeted
at $86,500,000; an increase of 4% from the FY 2015/16 revised projection of $83,000,000.
STA funds generated from the statewide sales tax on motor vehicle fuel are allocated by formula by the State
Controller to the Commission for allocations to the County’s public transit operators. The STA transit allocation,
which is based on recent State estimates, for FY 2016/17 is $10,821,600.
Intergovernmental revenues include reimbursement revenues from federal sources of $28,007,100, state sources
of $8,830,000, and local agencies of $14,196,100 for highway and rail capital projects, rail operations and station
maintenance, commuter assistance, and motorist assistance programs as well as planning and programming
activities. The significant decrease of 54% in FY 2016/17 compared to the FY 2015/16 revised budget is due to
substantial completion of the Perris Valley Line and I‐215 corridor improvement projects. Reimbursement
revenues vary from year to year depending on project activities and funding levels.
As a result of an amended Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Western Riverside Council of
Governments (WRCOG), the Commission will receive 48.7% of TUMF revenues (as updated by the most recent
Nexus study). TUMF represents fees assessed on new residential and commercial development in Western County.
FY 2016/17 TUMF fees are projected at $18,500,000 and are slightly higher than the FY 2015/16 revised projection
of $18,000,000 and reflect the encouraging signs in the housing market in the Inland Em pire. Additional TUMF
zone reimbursements of $20,000 are expected for the 74/215 interchange project.
FY 2016/17 will mark the initial year of toll operations for the RCTC 91 Express Lanes following substantial
completion of the 91 Project anticipated in January 2017. Estimated toll revenues of $3,798,000 are derived from
the Riverside County 91 Express Lanes Extension Investment Grade Traffic and Revenue Report and 2013 financing
assumptions.
8
Other revenue of $2,518,000 is projected to increase 220% from the prior year’s budget of $787,000 and is related
to miscellaneous non‐toll revenues generated in connection with the 91 Express Lanes.
Investment income in FY 2016/17 is anticipated to decrease by $585,000 or 24% compared to the FY 2015/16
budget due to substantial use of sales tax and toll revenue bond proceeds on the 91 Project. Staff continues to
actively manage its resources and make appropriate investments to maximize the return to the Commission
without sacrificing security and affecting short‐term cash requirements.
Transfers in of $241,732,700 relate primarily to the transfer of available debt proceeds for highway projects; LTF
funding for general administration, planning and programming, rail operations and station maintenance, and
grade separation project allocations; approved interfund allocations for specific projects; and debt service
requirements from highway, regional arterial, and local streets and roads funds. Debt proceeds consist of draw
downs of $100,269,200 from the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan
related to the 91 Project and issuance of $28,000,000 in commercial paper notes related to the I‐15 Express Lanes
project.
Total uses (Table 2), including transfers out of $241,732,700, are budgeted at $923,638,500, a decrease of 12%
from the prior year budget amount of $1,052,893,300. Program expenditures and transfers out totaling
$850,702,200 represent 92% of total budgeted uses in FY 2016/17. Program costs have decreased by 13% from
$980,951,900 in FY 2015/16 due to significant completion of several projects identified below.

Note: Management Services includes Executive Management, Administration, Legislative Affairs and Communications, and Finance.
Capital highway, rail, and regional arterials budgeted uses of $600,120,600 are 19% lower compared to the FY
2015/16 budget due to significant completion of the 60/215 East Junction high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane
connectors, SR‐74 curve widening project, I‐215 corridor improvement project, and Perris Valley Line project.
Local streets and roads expenditures of $52,587,000 reflect an increase of 4% over the FY 2015/16 budget and
represent the disbursements to local jurisdictions for the construction, repair, and maintenance of local streets
and roads.
Commuter Assistance budgeted expenditures of $3,579,900 are 7% lower than FY 2015/16 budget due to
anticipated completion of IE511 commuter system enhancements, contractor transition, and relief of funding
Downtown Perris station security.
Debt Service of $53,629,800 has decreased 1% and is comparable to the FY 2015/16 revised budget.
Management Services expenditures have increased 7% or $1,285,000 from the FY 2015/16 budget due to
information technology equipment upgrades, preparation for toll operations, financial advisory services, and debt
service contribution.
Motorist Assistance expenditures have increased 6% or $375,000 from the FY 2015/16 budget as a result of call
box hardware upgrades and increased FSP construction service.
9
Planning and Programming budgeted expenditures of $12,059,600 reflect a 67% increase from the FY 2015/16
budget due to increased projects and operations activities in connection with LTF disbursements for planning and
programming, signal synchronization projects, and Fundtrak project database upgrades.
Public and Specialized Transit budgeted expenditures of $134,852,900 are 6% lower than FY 2015/16 budget due
to decreased transit capital expenditures for public transit.
The 30% increase in Rail Maintenance and Operation’s budgeted expenditures of $34,097,200 is primarily due to
commencement of Perris Valley Line operations, maintenance of four new stations along the Perris Valley Line,
and additional consultant work needed to perform planning and modeling for rail projects including the Coachella
Valley/San Gorgonio Pass corridor rail service.
Toll operations expenses are budgeted at $6,553,100 and represent approximately six months in FY 2016/17 to
manage the operations, maintenance, and capital support of the 91 Express Lanes.

FY 12/13 FY 13/14 FY 14/15 FY 15/16 FY 16/17
The FY 2016/17 full‐time equivalents (FTE) of 49 positions are unchanged from the FY 2015/16 level (Table 3). As
the Commission prepares for significant organization changes that include large transportation capital projects
resulting in toll operations and the investment of billions of dollars requiring substantial attention at many staff
levels, management continues to be firmly committed to the intent of the Commission’s enabling legislation that
called for a small staff. Staff will continue to be provided the tools needed to ensure an efficient and productive
work environment. However, it must be recognized that small is not viewed in an absolute context; it is relative to
the required tasks to be performed and the demands to be met.

AGENDA ITEM 9
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 25, 2016
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Marla Dye, Procurement Analyst
Matt Wallace, Procurement Manager
THROUGH: Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Recurring Contracts for Fiscal Year 2016/17
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve the recurring contracts for Fiscal Year 2016/17;
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreements on behalf of the Commission; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As in previous years, the Commission annually evaluates existing contracts for professional
services due to expire within the next fiscal year. These contracts may be placed on the
calendar for a new procurement solicitation, allowed to expire since these contracts are no
longer required, or included in the annual recurring contracts list that is subject to Commission
approval. Most contracts for professional services are subject to a competitive process.
This year’s list of recurring contracts includes consultants that are providing unique or
specialized services and working closely with staff on long-term projects. Staff desires to retain
a limited number of consultants on the recurring contracts list due to the consultant’s historical
knowledge, unique experience, and understanding of the Commission and specific Commission
projects. Under limited circumstances, staff believes it is more efficient and cost effective to
retain the consultants on the recurring contracts list rather than rebidding the services at this
time. Approval of the recurring contracts list will allow the Commission to continue work on
existing projects without interruptions and maintain consistency.
Below is a list of proposed recurring contracts for FY 2016/17, followed by a summary for each
consultant supporting its inclusion on the recurring contracts list.

1These are contracts with consultants providing specialized services on long-term projects at a fixed rate. The contracts do not
need to be negotiated annually as service level and pricing are not expected to change during the period of performance. Staff
desires to enter into a five-year agreement with each of these consultants for the aggregate amount shown in the Budget
FY 2016/17 area above.
AMMA Transit Planning
In February 2007, AMMA was selected under a competitive procurement process to provide
consulting services for the development and implementation of the Coordinated Public Transit-
Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan), as well as the required updates of the
Coordinated Plan. AMMA also guides staff regarding the grant application process for the
Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 Elderly and Disabled Specialized Transit program,
the Commission’s Annual Countywide Performance Report, the Commission’s Title VI program,
and the Citizens Advisory Committee processes. Additionally, AMMA advises staff regarding
the management of operator reporting for the current specialized transit call for projects and
assists in the development of the application and eligibility guidelines for future specialized
transit call for projects. AMMA also assists in coordinating unmet transit needs and community
input meetings.
BCA Watson Rice LLP
In October 2007, the Commission selected Thompson, Cobb, Bazilio & Associates, P.C. (now
BCAWR) as one of the firms to perform on-call internal audit services, including audits related
to mandated pre-award audits and contract close-outs, as well as other reviews and assistance
on an as needed basis. The agreement, which the term was for a five-year period, was
extended by the Commission for an additional year at its October 2012 Commission meeting.
BCAWR is the sole on-call internal audit services firm for the Commission at this time, and it has
primarily performed the pre-award and close-out audits. While the requirement for such audits
was not significant in recent years, staff recommends the Commission retain BCAWR through
June 30, 2017, as the need for such audits is expected to increase in FY 2016/17 as a result of
Agenda Item 9
25
anticipated procurements and grant close-outs. BCAWR performed these audits in a timely and
satisfactory manner.
Bechtel Infrastructure
The Bechtel contract for FY 2016/17 reflects a decrease from last year, related to the
completion of construction of the following projects: Interstate 215 central, State Route 74
curve widening, I-215 bi-county high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, 74/215 interchange (plant
establishment period), SR-91 HOV lanes, and the Riverside Downtown Operations Control
Center. Bechtel will continue to provide staff support on the Commission’s larger projects,
including the SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project (91 Project), the I-15 Express Lanes project
and the Perris Valley Line (PVL) project. Bechtel is also continuing program management and
construction management activities of highway and rail projects for the 2009 Measure A
program, as well as the wrap up of delivery for the remaining project in the 1989 Measure A
program. Bechtel possesses the knowledge and background history of the Commission’s capital
works program, which is necessary to deliver the Commission’s Measure A projects. The
flexibility of obtaining additional support from Bechtel as needed for specific project
requirements is also important and avoids the need to increase Commission staff.
Best Best & Krieger LLP
The FY 2016/17 contract for BB&K reflects a net increase of 5 percent in legal costs compared
to the amended FY 2015/16 contract, primarily related to litigation offset and the continued
need for specialized legal services for certain projects. A high level of general legal services is
generally required from BB&K for highway and rail capital project activities, especially right of
way, and Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) projects. BB&K also provides support
related to procurements and contract development. The Commission engaged other legal firms
for specific matters involving potential conflicts of interest, as well as other specialized legal
services.
BLX Group
In 2007, the Commission engaged BLX to perform arbitrage rebate compliance services for sales
tax revenue debt issued under the 1989 Measure A and 2009 Measure A, as required by the
Internal Revenue Service and the tax certificates executed for each debt issue. Initially, this
included commercial paper notes and sales tax revenue bonds that were issued. As a result of
the 91 Project financing in 2013, arbitrage calculations are also required for the toll revenue
bonds issued. In order to ensure the Commission is complying with the complex arbitrage
rebate regulations, it elected to have the required calculations performed more frequently than
the minimum reporting requirements during the life of each debt issue. Accordingly, BLX
maintains historical information and calculations that are considered in subsequent arbitrage
rebate calculations. The agreement with BLX may be terminated by either party upon written
notice; however, staff determined it would be more efficient and cost effective to continue the
Agenda Item 9
26
contract. Furthermore, BLX is affiliated with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, which results in
additional efficiencies related to immediate access to bond documents and key staff.
Connected Consulting
In November 2015, Connected Consulting was hired pursuant to the Executive Director’s single
signature agreement authority to provide community relations consulting services regarding
the 91 Project. The primary focus at the time of the procurement was to assist in public
communications, develop and oversee a community based task force, and assist in the
dissemination of social media communication. Staff recommends the extension of this contract
at the same monthly contract rate for a full year to continue ongoing activities and assist with
communication-related tasks for the opening of the 91 Project in early 2017.
Epic Land Solutions, Inc.
Due to its accumulated knowledge and development of various property management projects,
resources, and databases associated with the multitude of Commission-owned properties,
including but not limited to those along the San Jacinto Branch Line (SJBL), staff determined
Epic can most efficiently and cost effectively provide property management services. The scope
of services for FY 2016/17 includes upgrading the remaining private use and utility licenses to
current Commission terms in order to minimize liability risks; coordinating and assisting with
activities related to the issuance of new licenses, amendments to existing licenses or facility
upgrades; following up on delinquent rent payments and tracking insurance certifications, as
requested by staff; determining all easement locations and requesting abandonment of unused
easements; maintaining and updating a database and correlated mapping of the Commission’s
property and contract information; ensuring possession of title policies for all
Commission-owned property; ensuring compliance with federal excess land requirements; and
resolving complex title issues. Epic will also proactively perform regular site visits to all
properties to identify and resolve maintenance and repair issues such as weed abatement,
removal of debris and illegal occupants, as well as identify encroachments such as illegal
parking or the installation of facilities without a license. Although many of the property
management tasks have been completed and only require on-going maintenance and review,
additional work will be required to maintain the property for the PVL service. Therefore, the
contract fees have increased 6 percent from the prior year.
Fieldman Rolapp & Associates
Fieldman was selected as the Commission's financial advisor in late 2003, following a
competitive procurement process, and provided financial advisory services on general finance
matters and specific financing transactions related to the 2009 Measure A program and the toll
program. Fieldman played a significant role in the 91 Project financing activities that achieved
financial close in early July 2013. Fieldman continues to provide additional support related to
the annual update of the financial model and financial plan required by the Transportation
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan agreement, as well as other
Agenda Item 9
27
implementation matters related to the 91 Project financing. For the I-15 Express Lanes project,
Fieldman is once again serving a key role in the development of a plan of finance. As a result of
Fieldman's knowledge and understanding of the Commission and the TIFIA loan process, staff
determined it would be more efficient and cost effective for continuity purposes to retain
Fieldman during FY 2016/17 primarily for financial advisory services related to the 91 Project
and I-15 Express Lanes project.
Iteris, Inc.
Iteris was awarded a sole source agreement for operations and maintenance services of the
Inland Empire 511 (IE511) system as part of the original IE511 implementation plan approved
by the Commission in May 2009. The Iteris components of the system are comprised of a
browser-based traffic map and an interactive voice response telephone system. Iteris
aggregates and maintains various data feeds to provide motorists with access to real-time
freeway travel information and incident information on Southern California highways via the
telephone service by dialing 511 or accessing the map on the companion website
(www.ie511.org) or mobile application. Last year, the system averaged nearly 40,000 web visits
and 21,000 phone calls per month. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (Metro) is currently procuring a 511 solution with regional potential and is slated to
go live in 2017. Staff intends to provide a recommendation to the Commission to: 1) partner
with and leverage Metro’s 511 system; or 2) conduct a competitive procurement for IE511
operations and maintenance services within the next fiscal year. Until that recommendation is
made, staff recommends the Commission retain Iteris through June 30, 2017.
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP
Orrick was selected as bond counsel in late 2004, following a competitive procurement process,
and has provided bond counsel services in connection with the financings and other matters
related to the 2009 Measure A program, including the 91 Project. Orrick has a high level
understanding of the Commission’s 2009 Measure A program and related sales tax financings as
well as the complex toll supported debt agreements. It also has significant experience with
other transportation agencies, especially self-help counties and TIFIA loan borrowers. In its role
as bond counsel, Orrick provided legal advice during FY 2015/16 regarding federal tax
regulations in connection with procurement and financing considerations related to the I-15
Express Lanes project, and similar services may be expected in FY 2016/17. Accordingly, staff
determined it would be more efficient and cost effective to continue to retain Orrick in
connection with sales tax and toll program financings.
Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP
In July 2009, the Commission awarded a professional services agreement to Fulbright for
disclosure counsel services through a competitive procurement in connection with the
Commission’s 2009 Bond issuance. The agreement has been periodically amended for the
Commission’s subsequent debt transactions, including the financing for the 91 Project. Staff
Agenda Item 9
28
has been satisfied with Fulbright’s level of service and recommends Fulbright’s agreement be
amended to include disclosure counsel services that may be required during FY 2016/17 in
connection with the opening and operation of the Riverside County 91 Express Lanes and the
development of the I-15 Express Lanes project financing.
TSC2 Group
In November 2015, the Commission entered into a contract with TSC2 Group pursuant to the
Executive Director’s single signature agreement authority to develop an integrated
communication strategy for the organization. The original impetus for the procurement was to
address pressing communication issues related to the 91 Project along with the direction that
its work would expand to address all of the Commission’s communication efforts. The intent
for the scope of work was for a continuation through FY 2016/17 at the same monthly contract
rate.
U.S. Bank National Association
US Bank served as trustee for the sales tax financings since the inception of the 1989 Measure A
program; the current US Bank represents mergers, acquisitions, and name changes dating back
to the 1990s. As trustee and in accordance with the debt agreements, US Bank intercepts the
Measure A sales tax receipts from the State Board of Equalization in order to withhold amounts
required for debt service prior to releasing remaining funds to the Commission. In February
2005 following a competitive procurement, the Commission approved agreements with US
Bank to serve as the trustee and the issuing and paying agent for the commercial paper
program related to interim financing for the 2009 Measure A program. When the Commission
commenced 2009 Measure A program long-term debt financings prior to the July 2009 start of
the new Measure A, the Commission continued to use US Bank as trustee for the 2009 Measure
A program. The master and supplemental indentures for the commercial paper program and
the sales tax bonds are agreements between the Commission and US Bank through the life of
the debt; any removal or resignation of the trustee requires adhering to specific procedures
described in the master indenture. Staff has been satisfied with US Bank’s level of service and
recommends continuation of US Bank’s role as trustee for the sales tax financings and as issuing
and paying agent for the commercial paper program. The FY 2016/17 fees are comparable to
current year fees.
Specialized Services on Long-Term Projects for Multiple Year Contracts
ThyssenKrupp Elevator Corporation
Since 2013, ThyssenKrupp provided elevator maintenance services for the North Main Corona
Station parking structure elevators. These services include a comprehensive monthly
preventative maintenance plan, full coverage parts replacement, after hours service requests
and remote monitoring. Due to issues regarding warranty coverage and certain proprietary
elevator controls, the Commission’s on-call elevator service contractors are not able to service
Agenda Item 9
29
and repair ThyssenKrupp elevators. This service contract is imperative in order to provide safe
and reliable elevator service to the North Main Corona Station parking structure.
TransTrack
In December 2005, the Commission approved a sole source agreement with TransTrack for the
Transit Performance Manager software application implementation and training package for a
total amount of $52,000. The agreement included a provision that the license may be renewed
for an additional year for an extension of the annual service, maintenance fees, training and
support. The public operators use this software to consolidate and integrate their operations
and performance data in the TransTrack system, which enables the Commission and operators
to retrieve real-time operation information and timely performance reports. Major
accomplishments include additional customized reports to support the Commission’s Annual
Countywide State of Public Transit Report. TransTrack continues to be an important tool in
assisting Commission staff to review the transit operators’ performance to ensure compliance
with the farebox recovery ratio. During the annual preparation of Short Range Transit Plans
(SRTP), the transit operators use the customized reports to complete required SRTP reports.
Trillium Insight, Inc.
Trillium was the firm used for the implementation of transit data feeds between local transit
agencies and Google as part of the IE511 launch. Trillium publishes general transit feed
specifications formatted data for selected Riverside County transit agencies; submits data to
Google; performs validations; and coordinates among Google, transit agencies, and the
Commission to integrate transit data into Google maps. The transit operators use and have
become familiar with the particular Google transit feed tool developed by Trillium to help
streamline the process and ensure an accurate and smooth data feed which ultimately benefits
users of the Google and IE511 transit itinerary function.
Sunesys
The Commission invested in a network of security cameras at the five commuter rail stations
and the Perris Transit Center. All cameras are connected to the Riverside Downtown
Operations Control Center (RDOCC) via fiber optic lines (primarily through Caltrans) except for
the Pedley Station. The Pedley Station is connected to the RDOCC via a dark fiber infrastructure
provided by Sunesys. This contract with Sunesys is necessary to continue the reliable
transmission of security camera data and information to the RDOCC related to the Pedley
Station.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 25, 2016
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
THROUGH: John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: Agreement for Audit Services for the Measure A Recipients and
Transportation Development Act Claimants
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Award Agreement No. 16-19-055-00 to Conrad LLP (Conrad) for the provision of audit
services for the Eastern Riverside County (Eastern County) Measure A local streets and
roads recipients and Transportation Development Act (TDA) claimants for a three-year
term, and two one-year options to extend the agreement, in an amount of $274,225,
plus a contingency amount of $27,775, for a total amount not to exceed $302,000;
2) Award Agreement No. 16-19-089-00 to Macias Gini & O’Connell LLP (MGO) for the
provision of audit services for the Western Riverside County (Western County) Measure
A local streets and roads recipients and TDA claimants for a three-year term, and two
one-year options to extend the agreement, in an amount of $641,490, plus a
contingency amount of $64,510, for a total amount not to exceed $706,000;
3) Award Agreement No. 16-19-090-00 to BCA Watson Rice LLP (BCAWR) for the provision
of audit services for the Western County Measure A specialized transit recipients for a
three-year term, and two one-year options to extend the agreement, in an amount of
$235,140, plus a contingency amount of $23,860, for a total amount not to exceed
$259,000;
4) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreements, including option years, on behalf of the Commission;
5) Authorize the Executive Director or designee to approve contingency work up to the
total not to exceed amount as required for these services; and
6) Forward to the Commission for final approval.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The TDA requires annual financial and compliance audits of TDA claimants in the county
receiving allocations for bicycle and pedestrian projects and public transit. The 2009 Measure A
requires audits of the city and county recipients of local streets and roads funds, and the
Commission elected to obtain audits of Western County Measure A specialized transit
recipients in order to determine compliance with grant agreements. In previous years, the city
Agenda Item 10
32
of Beaumont, Riverside Transit Agency, and SunLine Transit Agency elected to procure their
audits and submit the final reports to the Commission. Accordingly, these three agencies are
not included in the Commission’s scope of audit services for the Measure A recipients and TDA
claimants.
In May 2011, the Commission approved the selection of Thompson, Cobb, Bazilio & Associates,
PC (TCBA) and MGO to perform audit services, including agreed-upon procedures, for the
Measure A recipients and TDA claimants in the Western County and Eastern County (Coachella
Valley and Palo Verde Valley), respectively, for an initial three-year term and two additional
one-year option periods. TCBA informed the Commission of a change in the name of the firm
to Bazilio Cobb Associates, PC in 2012, and of an acquisition and merger, which resulted in a
name change to BCAWR in 2014. The full term of the BCAWR and MGO contracts expired in
March with the conclusion of the FY 2014/15 audits.
Procurement Process
Staff determined the weighted factor method of source selection to be the most appropriate
for this procurement, as it allows the Commission to identify the most advantageous proposal
with price and other factors considered. Non-price factors include elements such as
qualifications of firm, personnel and the ability to respond to the Commission’s needs for audit
services for the Measure A recipients and TDA claimants as set forth under the terms of the
Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 16-19-055-00.
RFP No. 16-19-055-00 for audit services for the Measure A recipients and TDA claimants was
released by staff on March 3, 2016. A public notice was advertised in the Press Enterprise, and
the RFP was posted on the Commission’s PlanetBids website, which is accessible through the
Commission’s website. Utilizing PlanetBids, emails were sent to 166 firms, 17 of which are
located in Riverside County. Through the PlanetBids site, 15 firms not located in Riverside
County downloaded the RFP. Staff responded to all questions submitted by potential proposers
prior to the March 15 clarification deadline date. Seven firms – BCAWR (Torrance); Conrad
(Lake Forest); Eadie & Payne (Redlands); Lance, Soll & Lunghard, LLP (Brea); MGO (Newport
Beach); Rogers, Anderson, Malody & Scott, LLP (San Bernardino); and Vasquez & Company LLP
(Los Angeles); – submitted responsive and responsible proposals prior to the March 31, 2:00
p.m. submittal deadline. Utilizing the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP, the 7 firms were
evaluated and scored by an evaluation committee comprised of Commission staff.
Based on the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written proposals and pursuant to the
terms of the RFP, the evaluation committee short listed and invited three firms to the interview
phase of the evaluation and selection process. Interviews of the short listed firms – BCAWR;
Conrad; and MGO – were conducted on April 14.
As a result of the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written proposals, the evaluation
committee recommends contract award to the three short-listed firms to perform audit
services for the Measure A recipients and TDA claimants, as follows:

AGENDA ITEM 12
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 25, 2016
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Josefina Clemente, Transit Manager
THROUGH: Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director
SUBJECT: Amendment to Riverside Transit Agency’s Fiscal Year 2015/2016 Short Range
Transit Plan
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve modification to Riverside Transit Agency’s (RTA) Fiscal Year 2015/16 operating
assistance funding to reflect an additional $460,410 in state Low Carbon Transit
Operations Program (LCTOP) funds to cover anticipated operating expenses related to
the Perris Valley Line (PVL);
2) Reprogram the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) operating amount of $460,410 originally
identified for the PVL operating expenses to capital funding to support the development
of RTA’s central operations and maintenance facility;
3) Approve modification to RTA’s FY 2015/16 capital program to reflect an additional
$911,498 in FY 2014/15 Proposition 1B California Transit Security Grant Program—
California Transit Assistance Funds (CTSGP-CTAF) and $257,009 in Proposition 1B Public
Transportation Modernization, Improvement and Service Enhancement Account
(PTMISEA) program residual amount from the FYs 2008/09 and 2009/10 appropriations;
4) Approve amendments to RTA’s Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) to reflect the changes
outlined above; and
5) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its July 8, 2015 meeting, the Commission approved and adopted the FY 2015/16 operating
and capital funding allocation for Riverside County based on the FY 2015/16 SRTP updates
prepared by the eight transit operators providing public transit services in the County. Since
that time, RTA received additional grant funding including the FY 2014/15 LCTOP operating
grant funds and Proposition 1B state bond funds from the FY 2014/15 CTSGP-CTAF, as well as
additional PTMISEA funds resulting from Riverside County’s share of the remaining funds from
the FYs 2008/09 and 2009/10 PTMISEA program.
The modification details for RTA are outlined as follows.
Agenda Item 12 56
RTA Operating Assistance
Table 1a of Attachment 1 outlines the currently approved funding structure for RTA’s operating
assistance which is contained in the approved FY 2015/16 SRTP, while Table 1b shows the
modified funding distribution. RTA is requesting approval to modify its operating funding as
follows:
• Reflect an increase of $460,410 in other revenue (LCTOP grant funds) to support the
operations of the planned bus connections at the PVL Commuter Rail stations; and
• Reflect a decrease of $460,410 in LTF operating assistance due to receipt of LCTOP grant
funds.
With the above adjustments, the net effect on RTA’s FY 2015/16 operating assistance is $0.
RTA Capital Assistance
Table 2a of Attachment 2 shows the currently approved capital requests based on the RTA’s
original SRTP capital funding plan, and Table 2b shows the proposed capital project requests
based on actual revenues received by RTA during FY 2015/16. Modification requests are as
follows:
• Move the excess amount of $460,410 in LTF operating funds to capital funding to
partially cover RTA’s operations and maintenance facility construction expenses;
• Reflect an additional $257,009 in Proposition 1B capital funds (residual funding from the
FYs 2008/09 and 2009/10 PTMISEA appropriations) to be used toward the construction
cost for the operations and maintenance facility project; and
• Reflect $911,498 in Proposition 1B FY 2014/15 CTSGP-CTAF awarded to RTA for
operations and facilities security projects.
With the above adjustments, RTA’s capital assistance for FY 2015/16 will be increased by
$1,628,917.
Financial Impact
Commission staff reviewed RTA’s revised plan and recommends approval of its operating and
capital funding modifications and related amendments to its FY 2015/16 SRTP. Since the
Proposition 1B and LCTOP funds are directly allocated and disbursed to RTA, no Commission
budget amendment is required to support these requests. RTA’s LTF operating funds of
$460,410 will be moved to capital funds; however, the net impact to the total Commission
budget is $0.

AGENDA ITEM 13
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 25, 2016
TO: Budget and Implementation Committee
FROM: Aaron Hake, Government Relations Manager
THROUGH: John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: State Legislative Update
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Receive and file an update on state legislation;
2) Adopt the following bill position:
a) SB 885 (Wolk) – Oppose; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
State Update
The Legislature continues its process of hearing newly proposed legislation. May is the month
when several bills are vetted through the Appropriations Committees in the Assembly and
Senate, a major hurdle before legislation can be debated on the floors of each chamber. The
Commission’s sponsored legislation all awaits hearings in the Assembly Appropriations
Committee. Meanwhile, the Commission is working with a statewide coalition on increasing
the state’s budget for the Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program, which remained flat for 10
years.
After the printing of this agenda, the Governor will release the May Revise, which is an update
to the Governor’s State Budget proposal released in January. The May Revise marks the
beginning of the final stretch of the budget process. This year, the Governor proposed major
transportation funding items in the budget proposal, coinciding with the Governor’s proposals
made in the 1st Extraordinary Session on transportation funding. As of the printing of this
agenda, little visible progress has been made towards an agreement in the Legislature on a
transportation funding package.
Staff proposes the Commission adopt an official position on one bill this month:
Agenda Item 13
61
SB 885 (Wolk) – Staff Recommendation: OPPOSE
This bill upends long-standing contracting practices on public works projects. Sponsored by the
American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC), this bill would significantly increase
litigation and financial exposure for entities that contract with design professionals by limiting
the contractor’s duty to defend claims against their projects. The sponsors argue it is unfair for
a design professional to be required to defend other parties involved in a project. In practice,
industry-standard indemnity agreements require the entire project team to defend against
litigation. California courts have upheld that design professionals are subject to the same
duties to defend lawsuits as all other parties who sign indemnity agreements with a project
owner, such as the Commission. By forbidding project owners from requiring design
professionals to defend litigation against projects on which these professionals worked, SB 885
will cause project owners to stand-in to defend the contractor’s work and then retroactively
seek compensation from the contractor if the plaintiff prevails and the design professional is
found at fault. Moreover, the bill would create legal special treatment for a certain type of
company, leading to inequity in who is responsible for defending lawsuits.
The Self-Help Counties Coalition, the California Special Districts Association, and many other
public entities stand in opposition to SB 885.
The Commission relies heavily on the private sector for design services; this provides many
benefits to the Commission, including, but not limited to cost savings, efficiencies, and risk
transfer. SB 885 would diminish these benefits of contracting for design services by requiring
Riverside County taxpayers to accept the costs and risks of defending a private contractor’s
work and then initiating further litigation to recoup those costs from the contractor. For these
reasons, staff recommends an Oppose position on SB 885.

AB 194
(Frazier) This bill provides a uniform, less-political process for tolling projects to be
reviewed and approved by the state. Today, each tolling project must be
approved via a bill in the Legislature. AB 194 provides the California
Transportation Commission (CTC) with the authority to review and approve
tolling projects, subject to specified conditions that provide for public
transparency and collaboration between state and regional governments. The
most important aspect of this bill is it rests decision-making authority over
tolling projects with the governmental entity financially responsible for the
project. The bill is sponsored by the Self-Help Counties Coalition, of which the
Commission is a member.

AB 1171
(Linder) This bill authorizes the widespread use of an alternative contracting method
known as construction manager/general contractor (CM/GC) for projects not
on the state highway system. Like design-build, CM/GC offers a streamlined
private sector risk-transfer in project delivery that is capable of saving time
and money on complex transportation projects. In short, CM/GC allows a
project sponsor (such as the Commission) to enter into a preconstruction
contract with a private entity to provide services that assist in preparing a
design and schedule for the project, while reserving the option to allow that
contractor to bid on the actual construction of the project.
Approved by the Governor.

AB 1569
(Steinorth) This bill provides an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) for inspection, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, or removal of
transportation projects, such as highways, roads, bridges, culverts, tunnels,
transit systems, bike, and walkways. Auxiliary lane additions also qualify for
the exemption if it is within existing right of way and the areas surrounding the
right of way are returned to their original condition after the project is
complete. Although these projects are exempted from CEQA, the project
sponsor must still notify public agencies with authority over the project and
comply with any local laws. These projects are not exempted from the Porter-
Cologne Water Quality Control Act, the California Endangered Species Act, and
other state and federal laws.

(Frazier) This bill is similar to AB 1780 (Medina) in that it directs new sources of funding

goods movement into the TCIF program. The Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation (FAST) Act, approved by Congress in 2015, creates a new
formula funding program for freight projects. The funds are apportioned to
the states. This bill ensures that funding is distributed equitably throughout
the state where regional governments such as the Commission will have a

AB 2783
(E. Garcia) This bill directs the Strategic Growth Council (SGC) to amend the guidelines for
the Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities (AHSC) program. The AHSC
program is funded from Greenhouse Gas Reduction Funds (GGRF), otherwise
known as cap and trade. AB 2783 allows projects in rural areas to meet lower
housing density thresholds more consistent with rural development patterns.
Current guidelines place rural areas of Riverside County at a competitive
disadvantage for AHSC funding because Riverside County and the cities
surrounding local rural areas are considered urban or suburban by the current
program guidelines. Urban and suburban areas are required to have housing
densities higher than what the market will typically support in a rural area.

SB 901
(Bates) This bill creates an advanced mitigation program at Caltrans to account for the
future impacts on the environment from transportation projects. This concept
is similar to Riverside County’s Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan and
the California Transportation Commission’s annual report recommendations
to the Legislature. SB 901 is similar to AB 1833 (Linder), which the Commission
took action to support in March 2016, and is consistent with the Commission’s
legislative platform which encourages policies that expedite projects and
reduce costs. SB 901 is slightly different in that it calls for $30 million to be
taken from the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and State
Highway Operations Preservation and Protection (SHOPP) program to pay for
the advanced mitigation program.

SB 1197
(Cannella) This bill allows for the expansion of intercity passenger rail service beyond the
boundaries of the three existing joint powers authorities (JPAs) that operate
intercity rail service today. Current law establishes the Los Angeles-San Diego-
San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) JPA and authorizes the state to contract with the
JPA to operate the popular Pacific Surfliner Amtrak route. The Commission is a
member agency of the LOSSAN JPA. This bill would provide the opportunity
for the future Coachella Valley-San Gorgonio Pass intercity rail corridor to be
operated by LOSSAN. While the governance of the Coachella Valley-San
Gorgonio Pass service has not been fully vetted at this point in time, SB 1197
creates an opportunity that could be utilized in the future if it is determined by
the Commission and the other LOSSAN member agencies it is best to
incorporate the new corridor into the existing JPA, rather than creating a new
agency or allowing Caltrans Division of Rail to operate the service.
