THE EIGHTH ANNUAL
Southern California
Economic Summit

i 4<
Southern California is no stranger to the housing crisis. While
home and rental prices continue to climb, new construction
has not kept pace with the region's population and economic
growth. In order to remain a national and international economic
powerhouse, Southern California must consider the impact of the
housing crisis on our economy.
SCAG, in partnership with the Southern California Leadership
Council, will be hosting the Eighth Annual Southern California
Economic Summit at The L.A. Hotel Downtown in the heart of Los
Angeles on Thursday, Nov. 9. The summit brings together local
civic and business leaders to assess the state of the region's
economy. Join us for a discussion on the region's housing needs
and learn about the challenges that housing affordability poses
to local, regional and statewide economies.
Tickets for the event are available for purchase at the early bird
price of $75 per person (regular price is $100) until Sept. 15.
Registration is complimentary for elected officials. Please visit
scag.ca.gov/economicsummit to register and reserve your spot.

8. 2018 STATE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FINAL FUND ESTIMATE AND
PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS
Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director, presented the 2018 State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) final Fund Estimate and project
recommendations, highlighting the following areas:
• Past STIP cycles;
• 2018 STIP Fund Estimate for Riverside County;
• Palo Verde Valley and city of Blythe memorandum of understanding (MOU) STIP
trade;
• 2018 STIP Western Riverside County proposed projects;
• A map depicting the 2018 STIP projects Western Riverside County;
• 2018 STIP programming; and
• Next steps.
In response to Commissioner Spiegel’s question for pushing back the State Route 60 Truck
Climbing lanes project and CV Link, Shirley Medina replied the Commission is carrying
these projects over into the 2018 STIP.
In response to Commissioner Michael Naggar’s question on how the 2018 STIP is adopted
by the California Transportation Commission (CTC), Shirley Medina replied CTC staff
evaluates the Commission’s recommendations to confirm the STIP projects are eligible
and assesses the collective submittals from all of the regions. CTC staff then ensures the
financially constrained requirement per year is met for the STIP submittals.
In response to Commissioner Naggar’s question if the STIP can be altered before the CTC
adoption, Shirley Medina replied once the CTC adopts the STIP those funds are
guaranteed barring any financial crisis. She explained this is procedural, there is no
competition, and there is nothing the Commission needs to do.
Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes
September 13, 2017
Page 6
Anne Mayer explained that CTC staff may want the Commission to move projects from
one year to the next. This is a financially constrained program overall, which is why
Riverside County’s target share is $105 million. She explained Riverside County received
this target share amount in the 2018 STIP cycle as it is directly related to the passage of
SB 1. Anne Mayer stated if an initiative is successful to get a ballot measure on in 2018
to resend SB 1 that is the only potential opportunity for these funds to go away.
Jerry Sincich, Vice Chair for the Temescal Valley Municipal Advisory Council, expressed
support for the expansion of the Interstate 15 Express Lanes project. Mr. Sincich stated
he thought the 91 Project would alleviate traffic on I-15 because there is gridlock that
backs into the city of Lake Elsinore, which is impacting the residential, commercial, and
industrial in the Temescal Valley. Mr. Sincich expressed there is concern from a safety
standpoint with several accidents increasing in that area.
M/S/C (Naggar/Radi) to:
1) Approve staff project recommendations for the Western Riverside
County State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) share as part
of the 2018 STIP submittal due to the California Transportation
Commission (CTC) by December 15, 2017;
2) Include the Coachella Valley Association of Government’s (CVAG) STIP
project programming recommendation for the Coachella Valley STIP
share and forward to the CTC as part of the 2018 STIP submittal;
3) Forward the recommended 2018 STIP projects to the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) to conduct performance analysis as
required by the STIP guidelines;
4) Approve Agreement No. 07-71-028-03, Amendment No. 3 to Agreement
No. 07-71-028-00, with the city of Blythe (Blythe) to trade $608,024 of
Palo Verde Valley STIP funds with Measure A Western Riverside County
Highway funds to facilitate delivery of local arterial projects; and
5) Authorize the Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to
execute the agreement on behalf of the Commission upon CTC adoption
of the 2018 STIP in March 2018.

9. AGREEMENT FOR FINAL DESIGN AND RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION FOR CONSTRUCTION
OF PHASE 1 OF THE INTERSTATE 15/RAILROAD CANYON ROAD INTERCHANGE PROJECT
IN THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
Alex Menor, Capital Projects Manager, presented the agreement for final design and right
of way (ROW) acquisition for construction of Phase 1 of the I-15/Railroad Canyon Road
Interchange project in city of Lake Elsinore (Lake Elsinore), highlighting the following:
• A project vicinity map depicting the I-15/Railroad Canyon Interchange project;
• Background – Lake Elsinore is the project sponsor, the Commission began
managing in May 2011, and environment document and project report approved
on August 25, 2017;
• Action 1: Final design contract – 1) Procurement of the design firm followed
Commission procedures; 2) Selection of firm based on demonstrated competence
and professional qualifications, per Government code 4525; 3) RFQ process;
4) WKE earned highest score and proposed contract: $3,229,337; and 5) Price is
about 12 percent of estimated construction amount of $27 million;
• Action 2: Utility Relocations – Phase 1 utility agreements with nine different utility
owners;
• Action 3: Authorization to acquire the ROW needed for Phase 1 of the project;
• Action 4 and 5: Caltrans cooperative agreement and Lake Elsinore and
Commission design and ROW agreement; and
• Funding for design and ROW phases.
Commissioner Bob Magee stated over 17 years ago Lake Elsinore submitted its first
project study report for I-15/Railroad Canyon Road Interchange project. He explained in
2011 he requested the Commission to take this project over as it became too complicated.
Commissioner Magee expressed gratitude to Anne Mayer and staff that brought this
project forward to a Phase 1 conclusion.
Commissioner Adam Rush concurred with Commissioner Magee’s comments and
congratulated Lake Elsinore for getting to this stage. He suggested given the complexity
of this project if it is appropriate to increase the 10 percent contingency.
Anne Mayer explained this is a very complex project and the 10 percent contingency is
appropriate. If it appears there needs to be additional funding for the design phase staff
would know early enough to come back to the Commission and ask for additional
authorization without delay to the project. She stated there is a 12 percent ratio of design
costs to construction costs so some of that complexity is built into the actual costs.

10. DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ONGOING VANPOOL SUBSIDY
PROGRAM
Brian Cunanan, Commuter and Motorist Assistance Manager, presented the development
and implementation of an ongoing vanpool subsidy program, highlighting the following:
• What is a vanpool – Larger vehicle platforms for up to 15 passengers and longer
distances;
• Vanpools = revenue – Low-cost transit mode; longer commute distances; high fare
box recovery relative to bus and rail; and efficient services results in additional
federal funding;
• Market analysis and total vanpools by FY-End;
• Program design – Marketing/customer support; $400/month vanpool subsidy;
vanpool reports data to RCTC; RCTC reports data to NTD; and Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) generates 5307 allocations;
• Total program expenses and total 5307 revenue returned; and
• Benefits for commuters – Reduction in vehicle miles traveled, reduction in harmful
emissions, significant money and time saved, plus, reduced or free tolls, and
quality of life.
Commissioner Washington expressed appreciation for the program as it is a good use of
funding and it potentially has all of the benefits that were outlined. He explained there
was mention of southern Riverside County however he did not see the aspects of the
program that were proposed actually serve any of that area.
Brian Cunanan replied the program serves all of Western Riverside County so southern
Riverside County would benefit as well.
In response to Commissioner Washington’s clarification about a list of cities that primarily
reside along the I-10 and SR-91 corridor, Brian Cunanan replied for those commuters
heading into San Diego County would be supported by the San Diego Association of
Governments (SANDAG) vanpool subsidy program. He stated the residents within
Riverside County would get the $400 per month subsidy from SANDAG.
Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes
September 13, 2017

Anne Mayer explained that some of the cross county designations are similar to the way
the FTA allocates its funding. The goal is for adjacent counties to offer similar programs
so commuters throughout Southern California can participate no matter where they live
or work.

4. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Martin Wachs, Professor Emeritus of Urban Planning at UCLA, explained the Western
Riverside Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) is cited as an example of
best practices. It has been documented that advanced mitigations through habitat
conservation plans substantially save money. He discussed the importance of the recent
passage of SB 1 that establishes funding for an advanced mitigation program, which
allocates $30 million annually.
Jamie Letterman, Attorney and a PHD Candidate of Urban Planning at UCLA, explained
the research she has studied 20 similar HCP from multiple states and found almost
unanimous support for HCP for streamlining environmental permitting as a result
expediting private and public development. She discussed the potential permitting delay
issues without an HCP. Ms. Letterman explained in many areas, including the Coachella
Valley and Western Riverside County, the HCP’s ability to expedite transportation projects
enables significant private economic development.
Dan Silver, Chief Executive Officer for Endangered Habitat League, discussed the
problematic issues before the MSHCP and its streamlining provisions. He expressed
concern for major infrastructure projects going forward absent the framework of the
MSHCP as litigation becomes more frequent. Mr. Silver expressed when developers and
jurisdictions are collaborative, take constraints into account early, and use creative
planning successful solutions easily present themselves.
Ed Sauls, The Sauls Company, expressed these are two great organizations on two
essential subjects, transportation and conservation. Mr. Saults expressed the clear
obvious item is both transportation and conservation are willfully underfunded.
5. WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY REGIONAL CONSERVATION AUTHORITY MULTIPLE
SPECIES HABITAT CONSERVATION PLAN AND TRANSPORTATION
Tom Mullen, Former County Supervisor, presented the critically important parts to
infrastructure, highlighting the following:
• In 1970 the population of this County was 300,000 and today is 2,300,000;
• In 1988 an injunction protected Stephen’s kangaroo rat in Riverside and San Diego
Counties;
• Additional protected species came to fruition: 1) in 1986 the Least Bell’s Vireo; 2)
in 1993 the California Gnatcatcher, 3) in 1993 the Riverside Fairy Shrimp, Vernal
Pool Fairy Shrimp, and the Delhi Sand Flower-Loving Fly; 4) in 1997 the Quino
Checkerspot Butterfly; 5) in 1998 the San Bernardino Kangaroo Rat; and 6) in 2000
the Santa Ana Sucker;
RCTC/WRCRCA Special Meeting/Workshop Minutes
August 28, 2017
Page 3
• In order to comply with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) the MSHCP was adopted
in 2003 and a permit was issued in 2004. The plan protects and sustains
endangered and threatened animals, plants, and their habitats in a
comprehensive way so local governments can expedite the construction of
infrastructure to support growth particularly transportation facilities; and
• The MSHCP is the largest HCP in the nation expressly for infrastructure to expedite
it.
Former County Supervisor Mullen expressed appreciation for all the public comments as
the evidence is solid the Riverside County Integrated Project (RCIP) works and the MSHCP
does exactly what it is supposed to do.
At this time, Charles Landry, WRCRCA Executive Director presented details of the MSHCP,
highlighting the following areas:
• The MSHCP is a binding contract between RCA, the County, the cities, and the
federal and state that administer the ESA;
• The MSHCP by the numbers and a map depicting the MSHCP boundaries that
covers 1.26 million acres;
• Benefits of MSHCP – Since the MSHCP inception 17,000 permits were not affected
by the MSHCP; a study by RAND Corporation concluded the MSHCP accelerated
transportation projects by one to five years or more; and estimate $390 million
savings from early delivery;
• What changed with the MSHCP – 32 transportation projects expedited worth
more than $5 billion, 70,000 jobs created, since the implementation of the plan
there has only been three lawsuits; and the MSCHP provides NEPA and CEQA
analysis; and
• Life without the MSHCP – National leader in traffic congestion increased by 30 –
40 percent; 80+ hours per driver, per year; stifling economic growth for loss of
jobs; infrastructure delays by one to five years per project increase, and increased
litigation.
Anne Mayer, RCTC Executive Director, presented the Commission’s history and why the
Commission has supported the MSHCP, and highlighted the following:
• The Commission’s history goes back nearly 20 years as this all had its genesis with
the RCIP, and the Community Environmental Transportation Acceptability Process
(CETAP) commitment:
In the late 1990’s early 2000’s the Commission’s Measure A Ordinance calls
out the MSHCP in Western Riverside County; and requires local
jurisdictions participate in the MSHCP to receive their local streets and
roads disbursements from Measure A;
RCTC/WRCRCA Special Meeting/Workshop Minutes
August 28, 2017
Page 4
Each year the certification from RCA is taken to the Commission, which is
the basis for the disbursement of funding;
The Commission is a planned signatory and it made a commitment to
invest $153 million and $146 million has been paid to date to obtain
coverage for impacts to endangered species;
• How does the Commission benefit from the MSHCP – Allows take of covered plant
and wildlife species; reduces schedule/cost uncertainty; streamlines
environmental process; advanced mitigation = lower cost/higher quality; and
environmental stewardship;
• Projects that have advanced thanks to MSHCP – A project value list of Commission
projects totaling $4.7 billion;
• The other benefit for the Commission is quality of life in Riverside County and
ensuring there is a good quality of life and good stewards of its environmental
resources; and
• A list of the MSHCP expediting infrastructure for the construction of more than
32 transportation improvement projects and just under $5 billion in projects
delivered over the past 10 years that benefited from the MSHCP; and
• Potential Perils of losing the MSHCP – Project by project mitigation – Schedule and
cost uncertainty and mitigation uncertainty, squandered investment benefit, and
dilutes Measure A project funding.
Juan Perez, Transportation and Land Management Agency Director, County of Riverside,
presented how the MSHCP benefited transportation projects, highlighting the following:
• The County Transportation works in the unincorporated areas, and with many
different cities on delivery of major infrastructure projects on a contract basis;
• Provided a list of projects expedited under the MSHCP that directly benefited from
the MSHCP totaling $1,183 Billion;
• The MSHCP facilitated bridge projects – The River Road Bridge is an example and
has been open for a number of years. It was done in a much more expedited
process for the actual replacement and there is significant savings in operations
and maintenance activities;
• County Transportation experience before MSHCP -- the Cantu Galleano
interchange on I-15 had a two-year consultation process with U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS); and required habitat acquisition in order to mitigate the
impacts of endangered species;
• In comparison after the MSHCP was approved, the Scott Road Interchange at the
I-215 was a two-month consultation with USFWS;
• County Transportation experience before the MSHCP for the San Jacinto River
project – Surveys for all species, separate negotiations with state and federal
agencies, lengthy negotiation for mitigation, negotiation for land acquisition,
Permits 404/401/1602, and operations and maintenance: separate mini
consultations;
RCTC/WRCRCA Special Meeting/Workshop Minutes
August 28, 2017
Page 5
• County Transportation after the MSHCP – Surveys for some species, RCA central
coordination, greater certainty in mitigation, fees are set, Permits 404/401/1602,
and operations and maintenance: exempt outside Cells;
• The MSHCP also provided certainty and mitigation unlike the Cantu Galleano
interchange where the County Transportation had to acquire over 600 acres to set
aside for the Delhi Sands Flower-Loving Fly; and
• A list of future projects to benefit from the MSHCP that the Transportation
Department will work with local agencies to deliver.
At this time, Charles Landry presented a summary of the infrastructure improvement
projects for Western Riverside County. He concluded where are we today:
• The MSHCP has paid for itself in time and money saved while preserving the
County’s open space heritage;
• 57,000 acres conserved and another 10,000 acres conditioned; and
• Trying to increase recreational opportunities.
Retired State Senator Dennis Hollingsworth provided details when he was first involved
in the process in 1992 as a member of the Steven’s Kangaroo Rat Advisory Board. He
expressed the MSHCP provided tremendous benefit for mitigation to transportation
infrastructure. He requested clarification on the impact not only to public projects and
infrastructure but also on impacts to private individuals and private land owners in trying
to be heard by an agency that no longer has elected officials directly responsible for its
functions if the MSHCP were not in place.
Ed Sauls expressed gratitude for a very important presentation on critically important
subjects. He explained one of the things that might offer some clarity is there are a list of
projects in the MSHCP that covered activities and are permitted. There may also be
different projects the County Transportation wants to achieve over the next 20-75 years
that go beyond the covered list of activities. He stated that as much has been
accomplished in acquiring 153,000 acres there is another 75,000-90,000 acres that still
needs to be acquired, much of it from private sources. The funds are not yet available for
that and the private owners need help as they cannot develop the property until it is
acquired.
Howard Omdahl, a developer in Riverside County since 1984, stated observing this
process through the years and it getting more complicated. He expressed the need to
keep the MSHCP and thanked Dennis Hollingsworth for his comments as this process
needs to be kept available and to work harder to get the USFWS, Regional Quality Water
Board, and the Army Core of Engineers on board with this process, which will benefit
these agencies.

WRCRCA Vice Chair Jonathan Ingram expressed appreciation to staff from both agencies
for the presentation and for the hard work that has been done to get this accomplished.
He explained working diligently as a board member with the RCA to evaluate several of
the issues that transpired over last year and a half. He suggested Charles Landry discuss
the impacts of regional water authorities and what it has done when a project is brought
to the table.
Charles Landry replied the MSHCP does not cover wetlands and waters so there are
actually different agencies that are a major part, which is the Core of Engineers and the
Regional Quality Water Board that are in the MSHCP area. He stated one is the Santa Ana
Board and the other is the San Diego Board and these agencies are appointed by the
Governor and receive guidance from the state. Charles Landry provided details about
working with the Core of Engineers, USFWS, and the Regional Water Quality Board.
Former Supervisor Mullen stated this is a critical area and expressed gratitude for all the
comments. He explained that the plan area has a hard line, and everybody outside of it
has flexibility. He discussed the issues with the outside agencies and used the Santa
Margarita Water Board as an example in the 1980’s, which was changed legislatively. He
suggested starting with RCIP doing the Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) and once
that realignment can take place this year to bring it under one regional board.
Commissioner Kevin Jeffries explained for those that have not had the opportunity to
meet with former Supervisor Mullen he suggested to due to his knowledge and
experience related to the MSHCP. He expressed gratitude to Dan Silver for doing a great
job consulting with the RCA Board on his opinions to new development and the
challenges. He expressed concern the city of Lake Elsinore (Lake Elsinore) has absolutely
no projects funded although Lake Elsinore gave up 3,000 – 4,000 acres and suggested this
issue needs to be corrected. Commissioner Jeffries expressed not a single interchange
along the I-15 corridor has been improved in Lake Elsinore however, every other city along
the corridor received significant improvements. Commissioner Jeffries expressed keeping
Riverside County’s open space and preserving it. He stated one thing that is not being
discussed is holding back land for tribal preservation concerns since these lands have
historical significance and the agency has no comment in the process. He stated if 75,000
– 90,000 acres needs to be acquired and the RAND study put a price tag that was in the
billions, how does it get paid.
Charles Landry replied the cost of land overtime for an average acre to purchase has been
about $8,000, which is the same as it was in the RAND study. He explained the individual
parcels in particularly on the west side on 15/215 corridors there is an average of about
$14,000 per acre. In general, the total amount is $1 billion to $1.5 billion to purchase the
entire piece. Charles Landry explained there is also a one-third two-thirds strategy, which
is important as one-third is supposed to be achieved by state and federal grant funds.
There is still a lot to do and the biggest challenge is funding and how to get there.

Commissioner Bob Magee explained when the need for this meeting was brought to RCTC
Chairman John Tavaglione the goal was to ask a fundamental question: does the MSHCP
need to be modified to reflect changes and challenges, and how to improve it. He
expressed appreciation for the academics from UCLA that came to the meeting. He
replied to Ms. Letterman about her comment for economic development and HCPs being
invisible and suggested to meet Mr. Sauls and Retired Senator Hollingsworth to get the
property owner prospective. He then invited Ms. Letterman to Lake Elsinore to show
what has transpired. Commissioner Magee explained the goal of the MSHCP was to
streamline the approval process and intended to give quicker processing certainty for the
development community while protecting private property owner rights. He stated the
resource agencies pledged their cooperation, as well as a financial commitment so all of
the affected parties would work together. He discussed how the cities were threatened
they would lose Measure A and Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) revenue.
Commissioner Magee stated since Lake Elsinore joined as a regional partner about 14
years ago there has been no private development approved along Lake Elsinore’s 14-mile
shoreline. He discussed how there is no enforcement by the resource agencies against
urban campers or road land owners. Commissioner Magee expressed while other
jurisdictions have been asked to give up little or no acreage to the plan there is no end in
sight to the ongoing conservation efforts within Lake Elsinore’s boundaries as nearly 4,000
acres has been permanently removed in favor of the MSHCP. He explained having a
conversation today for the project study report (PSR) for the I-15 Railroad Canyon Road
interchange project, which has been approved after over 17 years after the original PSR
was submitted. There are no permits and no funding for permanent improvements along
the five interchanges that exist within Lake Elsinore. He expressed not seeing equal
treatment with his other partners in fact it is a burden on Lake Elsinore. He is encouraging
his collogues to have a discussion about how to make this better, how to make this fairer
for Lake Elsinore’s community, and the project by project mitigation discussions with the
agencies continue.
WRCRCA Vice Chair Ingram stated understanding Commissioner Magee’s frustration and
concurred with Commissioner Jeffries’ comments. He stated that habitat issues are not
going away and the Steven’s kangaroo rat program was the most successful program in
the entire state and still in existence. He explained Commissioner Jeffries noted how we
pay for the sins of the rest of the state of California and he suggested if the agencies want
to look for resources in funding the plan needs to be modified, there needs to be the
ability to negotiate and barter, and there needs to be a regional land bank from this
County. He expressed this means the other counties that have benefited over the years
needs to provide some of that support and start helping fill these coffers to complete this
plan.

Chair Ashley referred to the sister plan in the east and that most of the Coachella Valley
is going to end up in a habitat plan. The problem there was just one species, the French
toad lizard, that made it impossible to build not even an interchange. He explained once
the plan was approved six interchanges have been built, which was all part of the RCIP
and it has been a huge success there.
Charles Landry stated RCA staff will take a look at all of the comments and concerns and
come back to their respective boards and see what other ideas that will come out of this.

AGENDA ITEM 7A
Agenda Item 7A
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: October 11, 2017
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee
Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Quarterly Sales Tax Analysis
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to receive and file the sales tax analysis for Quarter 1, 2017
(1Q 2017).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its December 2007 meeting, the Commission awarded an agreement with MuniServices, LLC
(MuniServices) for quarterly sales tax reporting services plus additional fees contingent on
additional sales tax revenue generated from the transactions and use tax (sales tax) audit
services. As part of the recurring contracts process, the Commission approved a five-year
extension through June 30, 2018. The services performed under this agreement pertain to only
the Measure A sales tax revenues.
Since the commencement of these services, MuniServices submitted an audit, which reported
findings and submitted to the State Board of Equalization (SBOE) for review and determination
of errors in sales tax reporting related to 671 businesses. Through 4Q 2016, the SBOE approved
456 of these accounts for a total sales tax recovery of $7,642,288. Updated amounts for 1Q 2017
will be provided once received from MuniServices. If the SBOE concurs with the error(s) for the
remaining claims, the Commission will receive additional revenues; however, the magnitude of
the value of the remaining findings was not available. It is important to note that while the
recoveries of additional revenues will be tangible, it will not be sufficient to alter the overall trend
of sales tax revenues. After December 31, 2017, the SBOE duties regarding sales and use tax will
be transferred to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, and the Office of Tax
Appeals will hear appeals.
Additionally, MuniServices provided the Commission with the quarterly sales tax summary report
for 1Q 2017. Most of the 1Q 2017 Measure A sales tax revenues were received in the second
quarter of calendar year 2017, during April 2017 through June 2017, due to a lag in the sales tax

Agenda Item 7A
calendar. The summary section of 1Q 2017 report is attached and includes an overview of
California’s economic outlook, local results, historical cash collections analysis by quarter, top 25
sales/use tax contributors, historical sales tax amounts, annual sales tax by business category,
five-year economic trend for significant business category (construction), and final results.
Taxable transactions for the top 25 tax contributors in Riverside County generated 20.5 percent
of taxable sales for the benchmark year ended 1Q 2017 – comparable to the benchmark year
ended 1Q 2016. The top 100 tax contributors generated 34 percent taxable sales for the
benchmark year ended 1Q 2017, comparable to the 33.9 percent benchmark year ended
1Q 2016.
In the Economic Category Analysis below, all six categories experienced new highs in the 1Q 2017
benchmark year compared to the prior seven benchmark years.
An analysis of sales tax performance by quarter through 1Q 2017 is attached and illustrates fairly
consistent cycles for sales tax performance for most of the economic categories since the
economic recession in 2009.
For 8 of the top 10 segments (auto sales-new, restaurants, department stores, miscellaneous
retail, building materials-wholesale, apparel stores, food markets, and building materials-retail)
during the past eight benchmark year quarters, sales tax receipts reached a new high point. The
8 segments represent 61.9 percent of the total sales tax receipts. Service stations and light
industry representing 7.4 percent and 4.3 percent respectively, were lower than the 1Q 2016
benchmark year due to lower fuel prices and completion of renewable energy developments in
Riverside County, respectively.
These top 10 segments represent 73.6 percent of the total sales tax receipts. For the other
19 segments representing 26.4 percent of the total sales tax receipts, 14 segments representing
22.3 percent of the total sales tax receipts reached new high points in the benchmark year 1Q
2017.

ECONOMIC CATEGORY ANALYSIS
2
Agenda Item 7A
In the Economic Segment Analysis below, auto sales-new, restaurants, and department stores
represent the three largest segments for Riverside County, or 32.4 percent of total sales tax
receipts. This is the eighteenth consecutive quarter since 4Q 2008, that auto sales-new and
department stores have been in the top three economic segments. Growth seen in previous
quarters for service stations segment has been declining continuously from the high in the last
six years due to lower fuel prices. Restaurants replaced service stations in the top three economic
segments beginning in 4Q 2014.
During the review of the 1Q 2017 detailed report with MuniServices, information regarding sales
tax comparison by city and change in economic segments (two highest gains and two highest
losses) from 1Q 2017 to 1Q 2016 was provided and is attached.
Staff continues to monitor monthly sales tax receipts and other available economic data to
determine the need for any adjustment to the revenue projections. Staff will utilize the forecast
scenarios included with the complete report and receipt trends in assessing such projections.

CALIFORNIA’S ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
California sales tax receipts increased by 2.3% over the same quarter from the previous year, with
Northern California reporting a 2.3% increase compared to 2.3% for Southern California. Receipts for the
Riverside County Transportation Commission changed by 3.6% over the same periods.
E‐Commerce transactions are growing as consumers shift to online shopping. During the holiday
season of 2016, overall consumer spending growth increased 4.7%. Online retail sales grew by 12%
making up 21.3% of all holiday spending, a substantial increase from 15.4% last year. (First Data)
Will California's unemployment rate continue to drop? The state continued the downward trend in
the unemployment rate, landing at 4.8% in April, just 0.4% above the national rate. The forecast for
2017, 2018 and 2019 total employment growth is 1.4%, 1.0% and 0.9%, respectively. (UCLA Anderson)
California's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown consistently faster than the nation's as a
whole for five straight years. GDP is one of the most comprehensive and closely watched economic
statistics; it measures the market value of goods, services, and structures produced by the nation’s
economy within a particular period. In 2016, the California GDP rose 4.5%, while the U.S. GDP increased
3% (unadjusted for inflation). (BEA)

TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee
Jillian Guizado, Legislative Affairs Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: State and Federal Legislative Update
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to receive and file an update on state and federal legislation.
DISCUSSION:
State Update
AB 1189 (E. Garcia)
The Commission’s sponsored legislation is on Governor’s Brown’s desk for consideration. Staff,
the Commission’s state advocate in Sacramento, and the coalition backing AB 1189 are
communicating support of the bill and encouraging Governor Brown to sign the bill into law.
AB 135 (Assembly Budget Committee)
In accordance with the Commission-adopted 2017 State and Federal Legislative Platform, staff
communicated the Commission’s support of AB 135, a budget trailer bill authored by the
Assembly Budget Committee. AB 135, if approved, would make three important changes:
1) Caltrans would be authorized to perform National Environmental Policy Act assignment
on all rail, transit, and multimodal projects in California;
2) Local and regional agencies could request approval of a letter of no prejudice to use local
funding to advance SB 1 projects; and
3) Cities and counties would be given more time and flexibility for adopting Local Streets
and Roads project lists for submittal to the California Transportation Commission. For
self-help counties like the Commission, having the ability to advance local road funding
enables us to get projects to construction sooner.

AGENDA ITEM 7C
Agenda Item 7C
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: October 11, 2017
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee
Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Funding for the Riverside Transportation Analysis Model Update
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to approve funding a portion of the Riverside Transportation
Analysis Model (RIVTAM) Update in the amount of $200,000 with State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) Planning, Programming, and Monitoring (PPM) funds.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 2009, the county of Riverside, in partnership with the Western Riverside Council of
Governments (WRCOG), Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), Southern
California Association of Governments (SCAG), and the Commission, funded the development of
a countywide travel demand model referred to as RIVTAM. RIVTAM was based on the SCAG
regional model with greater network detail in Riverside County yet remaining consistent with the
SCAG regional model.
RIVTAM has been used by the Commission and local agencies as a tool to evaluate plans,
programs, and projects to forecast and analyze traffic impacts and land use outcomes. RIVTAM
is also specifically used for traffic studies and analyses required for environmental impact reports
under the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Protection Act,
in addition to supporting the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Nexus studies
administered by WRCOG and CVAG. Local agencies also utilize the forecasts provided by RIVTAM
in the development of general plans and specific plans.
RIVTAM is in need of an update to incorporate changes to the network and modeling assumptions
to be a reliable tool for transportation modeling and forecasting. The update will require
consistency with the SCAG Regional Model used for the 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/
Sustainable Communities Strategies. WRCOG has taken the lead in preparing a scope of work
and to be responsible for the development and maintenance of the model given its staffing
capabilities. WRCOG committed $500,000 to fund the RIVTAM update and the county of
Riverside, and CVAG have committed $50,000 and $25,000, respectively. The Commission has
been requested to participate in funding the RIVTAM update in the amount of $200,000.
14
Agenda Item 7C
Given the Commission’s reliance on transportation modeling for its Measure A program of
projects and other regional planning and project implementation efforts, staff recommends the
approval of $200,000 over a two-year period (Fiscal Year 2018/19 and FY 2019/20) for
participation in the model update. STIP PPM funds are available to fund the Commission’s cost
share.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: October 11, 2017
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
David Thomas, Toll Project Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: In-Lieu Fee Agreements with Riverside-Corona Resource Conservation District
for Compensatory Mitigation for the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Agreement No. 18-31-056-00 with Riverside-Corona Resource Conservation
District (RCRCD) for a deposit for expenses incurred prior to execution and recording of a
conservation easement for the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project (I-15 ELP) in an amount
not to exceed $10,000;
2) Approve Agreement No. 18-31-057-00 with RCRCD for compensatory mitigation for the
I-15 ELP in the amount of $2,704,825, plus a contingency amount of $270,482, for a total
amount not to exceed $2,985,307;
3) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreements on behalf of the Commission; and
4) Authorize the Executive Director to approve use of contingency pursuant to the
agreement terms up to the total amount.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Approval to proceed with the I-15 ELP (see Figure 1) was granted when the initial study with
mitigated negative declaration /environmental assessment with finding of no significant impact
was approved on May 4, 2016, by the California Department of Transportation, the lead agency
under both the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act.
The approved initial study /environmental assessment (IS/EA) includes a number of mitigation
measures for project impacts, including compensatory mitigation for permanent impacts to
riverine riparian habitat and Santa Ana sucker habitat as described in measures BIO-16, BIO-24,
and BIO-25.
16
Agenda Item 7D
Figure 1: I-15 Express Lanes Project Vicinity Map
These compensatory mitigation measures are also conditions in project permits, including a
Nationwide Permit 14 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Section 401 Clean Water
Certification from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), 1602
Streambed Alteration Agreement for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), as
well as the consistency determination under the Western Riverside County Multi-Species Habitat
Program (January 2016), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) biological opinion
approved April 20, 2016. Currently, final permits and subsequent compensatory mitigation
requirements are being negotiated with the resources agencies. It is anticipated that all permits
will be secured by November 2017.
Compensatory Mitigation Commitment
Compensatory mitigation for activities authorized by USACE, RWQCB, CDFW permits, and the
Biological Opinion are governed by regulations issued by the regulatory agencies. These
regulations establish performance standards and criteria for the use of permittee-responsible
compensatory mitigation, mitigation banks, and in-lieu fee programs.
The RCRCD manages a USACE approved In-Lieu Fee (ILF) program for impacts within the Santa
Ana River Watershed. Under the ILF program, RCRCD is authorized to sell mitigation credits for
specific impacts resulting from USACE permitted projects. During the development of the final
environmental document, Commission staff evaluated mitigation options and identified RCRCD
as the most suitable resource for providing the necessary mitigation. Due to the types of
17
Agenda Item 7D
resource mitigation required, including riverine riparian habitat and Santa Ana sucker habitat,
and the location of an available mitigation site within the Santa Ana River, Commission staff
narrowed its options for compensatory mitigation to the RCRCD Altfillisch project site, which
provides the necessary mitigation required by the resource agencies.
The Commission is required to mitigate for permanent impacts to riverine riparian habitat and
jurisdictional waters of the state of California and the United States for the I-15 ELP. The
mitigation requirements are outlined in the approved IS/EA with the mitigation commitment
satisfied by the purchase of 10.25 acres of mitigation credits through the RCRCD ILF program.
Additionally, project impacts Santa Ana sucker and Arroyo chub habitat can be satisfied through
the purchase of 0.21 acre non-ILF restoration acreage at the RCRCD-owned Altfillisch project site
located in the Santa Ana River south of Hamner Avenue bridge. Mitigation totals identified are
subject to change pending the final permit approvals.
Participation in the RCRCD ILF program satisfies the project’s compensatory mitigation
requirement. Formal payment to RCRCD relieves the Commission of any further obligations
regarding these resources. RCRCD will assume all responsibility to implement, manage, monitor,
and report mitigation progress to the regulatory agencies.
RCRCD Fee Structure
1) Deposit: RCRCD requires payment of a $10,000 deposit prior to negotiations with the
party requesting mitigation services. This deposit covers administrative and staff time,
material, and legal review costs associated with preparation of a conservation agreement.
2) Mitigation credit purchase based on impacts and mitigation ratios identified in the IS/EA:
RCRCD will restore 0.21 acre of Santa Ana sucker habitat at a cost of $250,000, and
rehabilitate 6.33 acres of riparian habitat, 0.51 acre of ephemeral drainage, and 3.81 acres
of jurisdictional waters at a cost of $230,500 per acre ($230,500 x 10.65 acres =
$2,454,825). The total cost is $250,000 (Santa Ana sucker habitat) + $2,454,825 =
$2,704,825 (mitigation credit purchase). In addition to a 10 percent contingency amount
of $270,482, for a total not to exceed amount is $2,975,307. The table below shows a
concise breakdown of these costs.
Habitat Type Amount (acres) Cost Total Cost
Santa Ana Sucker .021 $250,000 $ 250,000
Riparian 6.33 $230,500/acre 1,459,065
Ephemeral Drainage 0.51 $230,500/acre 117,555
Jurisdictional Waters 3.81 $230,500/acre 878,205
Total 2,704,825
Contingency (10%) 270,482
TOTAL not to exceed $ 2,975,307
18
Agenda Item 7D
Staff recommends mitigating for I-15 ELP permanent impacts to riverine riparian habitat,
jurisdictional waters, and Santa Ana sucker habitat by entering into the deposit agreement in the
amount of $10,000 and ILF agreement for purchase of credits with RCRCD in the amount of
$2,704,825, plus a contingency amount of $270,482, for a total amount not to exceed
$2,985,307. Under the deposit agreement, the Commission is responsible for all RCRCD costs
incurred by RCRCD related to the preparation of a conservation agreement. Staff anticipates any
excess of actual costs above the deposit amount would be minimal; therefore, staff recommends
the contingency amount of $270,482 be available for any minimal increase in the costs related
to the preparation of the conservation agreement.

Lemon Street, 3rd Floor, Riverside, CA 92501 (“Developer”) as of the date set forth
below. RCRCD and Developer are sometimes referred to in this Deposit Agreement
individually as a “Party,” or collectively as the “Parties.”
1.RCRCD.
RCRCD is a Resource Conservation District formed for the control of
runoff, the prevention or control of soil erosion, the development and distribution of
water, and the improvement of land capabilities pursuant to Public Resources Code
section 9151 et seq. RCRCD may accept grants of money, land, and conservation
easements to carry out its purposes, and may establish and charge fees for services
provided upon request pursuant to Public Resources Code sections 9401 et seq.
RCRCD commonly performs habitat restoration, conservation, creation and/or similar
activities (“conservation”) for project proponents seeking permits from regulatory
agencies.
2. Developer.
RCTC is a Regional Transportation Planning Agency created by the
California State legislature in 1970 to provide local agencies in Riverside County more
control and input on transportation matters. RCTC plans and implements transportation
and transit improvements, assists local governments with money for local streets and
roads, finds solutions for commuters and goods movement and develops strategies to
ensure everyone has access to transportation.
The Interstate 15 (I-15) Express Lanes Project (Project) will
construct one to two tolled express lanes between Cajalco Road and State Route 60 in
the cities of Corona, Norco, Eastvale, and Jurupa Valley and portions of unincorporated
Riverside County. Improvements will include, but are not limited to, addition of toll
lanes, reconstruction of interchanges and retaining walls, construction of new sound
walls, utility relocations, paving and roadway modifications, and installation of tolling
equipment. The project is anticipated to begin construction in 2018.
3. Purpose
A proposed development project may adversely impact a species, habitat,
riparian areas, or other sensitive environmental resources. As a condition to issuing a
permit required for such project, a regulatory agency may require mitigation in the form
of land setaside, restoration or other activity. Regulatory agencies may approve the
project proponent’s retention of RCRCD to perform habitat conservation, acceptance of
ATTACHMENT 1
20
24632.00005\1548635.5
a conservation easement, or other activity as mitigation of project impacts. Any such
conservation to be performed by RCRCD would be completed under the terms of a
separate conservation agreement with RCRCD.
The RCRCD will be required to process, prepare and review various
mitigation-related contracts, agreements, and other documents between the Developer
and RCRCD (“Transaction”). To facilitate this, the RCRCD will need to conduct
meetings, review permits and other background materials, evaluate habitat
assessments, review and draft the mitigation-related contracts, agreements or other
documents, perform due diligence (e.g. title review, site inspection and other related
activities), as well as perform other tasks, which may include preparing other
miscellaneous documents related to the Transaction.
In negotiating the Transaction between the RCRCD and the Developer,
RCRCD will incur expenses including, but not limited to, legal expenses, administrative
and staff expenses, materials, labor, etc. (“Expenses”). If the proposed Transaction
goes forward, or if it is cancelled, abandoned, modified, disapproved or otherwise does
not proceed, then RCRCD will have expended monies, resources and/or materials to
pay for the Expenses. By this Deposit Agreement, the RCRCD requests, and
Developer agrees to provide, a deposit to RCRCD to cover and defray the above-listed
Expenses.
4. Deposit.
(a) Based on RCRCD’s prior experience, the Parties agree that TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000) is a reasonable amount calculated to cover the
anticipated Expenses incurred prior to execution and recording of a conservation
easement and/or other agreements with respect to the Transaction (“Deposit”). If
RCRCD determines that its incurred costs will exceed the Deposit amount, RCRCD
shall notify Developer in writing, and may request additional Deposit monies before
proceeding further with the potential Transaction.
(b) In the event that the Parties successfully complete the Transaction,
RCRCD shall deduct from the Deposit all Expenses related to the Transaction; any
remaining portion of the Deposit shall be returned to Developer or applied to the
mitigation project costs.
(c) In the event that the Parties do not successfully complete the
Transaction, the RCRCD shall deduct the Expenses from the Deposit and return any
remaining portion to Developer as in Paragraph 4(b), above. Developer may cancel this
Deposit Agreement and receive a refund of the remaining Deposit and an accounting of
Expenses at any time. To obtain this refund and accounting, Developer must send to
RCRCD, by certified mail, a written notice of cancellation, requesting an accounting and
a refund of any remaining Deposit monies. RCRCD shall perform such accounting and
refund any remaining Deposit monies within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the
cancellation notice and request.
5. Anticipated Mitigation
21
24632.00005\1548635.5
The Parties expect any anticipated mitigation to be the normal and ordinary
conservation that RCRCD commonly performs; however, it is not yet known what the
regulatory agencies will actually require. RCRCD makes no warranties or
representations and cannot guarantee that RCRCD will be able to provide the mitigation
required by the regulatory agencies; RCRCD only represents that it will make a good
faith effort to perform its normal and ordinary conservation within its statutory authority,
pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement to be executed by the Parties.
6. Nature of Rights Granted
Developer hereby acknowledges and agrees this Deposit Agreement only
provides a deposit to cover or defray Expenses RCRCD will incur in the Transaction.
This Deposit Agreement is not a conservation easement, a donation agreement or a
conservation services agreement, nor does this Deposit Agreement guarantee that the
Parties will eventually consummate or successfully complete the Transaction.
7. Mitigation Responsibility
The Parties explicitly agree that this Deposit Agreement does not commit
RCRCD to actually performing any mitigation, mitigation-related conservation, or related
activity. No responsibility or liability therefor shall accrue to the RCRCD. If the RCRCD
ever conducts any mitigation on the Property at Developer’s request, the RCRCD will
make no warranties or representations and cannot guarantee that the RCRCD will be
able to provide any particular mitigation that may be required of the Developer by any
regulatory agency, including but not limited to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the California Department of Fish and Game, or the
State or Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Developer agrees that any requests
for RCRCD to perform any mitigation, mitigation-related conservation, or related activity,
including associated reporting for such activities, may cost extra and is not covered by
this Deposit Agreement. Developer remains responsible for obtaining final approval
from the Regulatory Agencies for satisfaction of any of its permit conditions.
8. Miscellaneous
(a) Neither Party may assign its rights or obligations under this Deposit
Agreement without the express written consent of the other, which consent may be
withheld in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion. In the event of an authorized
assignment, this Deposit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
those permitted assigns.
(b) The rights and obligations set forth herein are intended exclusively
for the benefit of the Parties and shall not be construed to convey any rights or
remedies to any third party.
(c) This Deposit Agreement contains the entire understanding between
the Parties with respect to its subject matter, and supersedes all prior agreements, oral
or written, and all prior or contemporaneous discussions or negotiations between the
Parties. This Deposit Agreement cannot be amended except in writing signed by both
Parties.
22
24632.00005\1548635.5
(d) This Deposit Agreement and all documents executed and delivered
in connection herewith shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
laws of the State of California. Any action to interpret or enforce this Deposit
Agreement shall be brought and maintained exclusively in the courts of and for
Riverside County, California.
(e) If any provision of this Deposit Agreement is invalid or
unenforceable with respect to either Party, the remainder of this Deposit Agreement or
the application of such provision to persons other than those as to whom it is held
invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected and each provision of this Deposit
Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(f) If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the
enforcement of this Deposit Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, and other costs incurred in that action or
proceeding in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Deposit
Agreement as of the last date set forth below.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: October 11, 2017
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
David Thomas, Toll Project Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Agreement with the City of Corona for Improvements to the Ontario Avenue
Interchange at Interstate 15
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Agreement No. 18-31-050-00 with the city of Corona (City) for the Commission’s
fair share of improvements to the Ontario Avenue Interchange at Interstate 15 (I-15) due
to impacts from the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project (91 Project), in the
amount of $1,337,072, plus a contingency amount of $133,928, for a total amount not to
exceed $1,471,000;
2) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to approve release of contingency work up
to the total authorized amount as may be required for the 91 Project; and
3) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreement on behalf of the Commission.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Commission’s 91 Project (shown in Figure 1) Final Traffic Study Report (Report), completed
in 2010, analyzed the impacts of the 91 Project on various intersections throughout the City. The
Final Environmental Document (FED) completed in 2012 identified the 91 Project’s fair share for
specific traffic improvements within the City.
28
Agenda Item 7E
Figure 1: SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project Vicinity Map
The Ontario Avenue Interchange is the closest access location to the Riverside 91 Express Lanes
from I-15 and will continue to be after the I-15 Express Lane Project (I-15 ELP) is constructed and
operational. The Report identified 91 Project impacts to the operations of the Ontario Avenue
Interchange. Staff and the City developed a plan to mitigate these impacts. The plan includes
the addition of one lane in each direction to Ontario Avenue between Compton Avenue and the
I-15 northbound ramps and necessary modifications to connecting roadways between these
limits.
Commission staff performed an independent cost estimate for the Ontario Avenue Interchange
improvements (Project) estimated at $6,077,600, which includes all phases of project
development including support costs. The Commission’s fair share as identified in the FED is
22 percent of the Project costs. The Commission’s fair share contribution is currently estimated
to be $1,337,072, which will be used to reimburse the City for actual costs of the Project, and for
no other purpose.
The City is planning to complete the Project by 2020. Because the Project will potentially impact
the I-15 ELP, coordination between the Commission and the City prior to and during construction
of the Project is crucial to mitigate potential impacts that Project construction may have on the
I-15 ELP.
29
Agenda Item 7E
Staff recommends approval of Agreement No. 18-31-050-00 with the City for the Commission’s
fair share of improvements to the Ontario Avenue Interchange at I-15 due to impacts from the
91 Project, for $1,337,072 plus a contingency of $133,928, for a total amount not to exceed
$1,471,000. Staff also recommends authorization for the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant
to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement.

COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
AND
THE CITY OF CORONA
FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO ONTARIO AVENUE AT I-15
This Cooperative Agreement (“Cooperative Agreement”) is made and entered into this
_____ day of _________, 2017 by and between the Riverside County Transportation Commission
(“RCTC”) and the City of Corona (the “City”). RCTC and the City are sometimes referred to
herein individually as (“Party”), and collectively as (“Parties”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, one additional lane in each direction will be added to Ontario Avenue between
Compton Avenue and the Interstate 15 (“I-15”) northbound ramps in the City of Corona and
necessary modifications will be made to connecting roadways between these limits, as depicted in
the attached Exhibit “A” (“Project”).
WHEREAS, the Project has a total estimated cost of $6,077,600 (“Total Project Cost”), as
more particularly described in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
WHEREAS, as part of RCTC’s State Route 91 Express Lanes and Corridor Improvement
Project (“91 CIP”), RCTC completed a Final Traffic Study Report (“Report”) which analyzes the
impacts of the 91 CIP on various intersections, and provides for mitigation by RCTC through
payment of a fair share contribution for specified traffic improvements. The fair share
methodology used in the Report is based on the City’s Traffic Impact Study Guidelines.
WHEREAS, the Project is identified in the Report, and is subject to a fair share contribution
from RCTC, as further set forth herein.
WHEREAS, RCTC is implementing the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project, which
involves the construction of tolled express lanes in each direction between the I-15/Cajalco Road
interchange and the I-15/State Route 60 interchange (“I-15 ELP”).
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the Parties to enter into this Cooperative Agreement to
establish and coordinate the responsibilities of the Parties with respect to the Project, all as further
set forth herein.
WHEREAS, because the Project, if constructed, will potentially impact the I-15 ELP,
coordination between the Parties prior to and during construction of the Project is crucial to
31
17336.02100\29360193. 3 2
mitigate potential impacts that Project construction may have on the I-15 ELP.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of this Cooperative Agreement, the City shall engage
the services of a contractor (“Contractor”) to complete the Project.
WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that the City’s full compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and all other applicable laws are a precondition to any
construction of the Project.
WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Cooperative
Agreement commits RCTC to approving or constructing the Project.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, it is mutually understood and agreed by RCTC and the City as follows:
TERMS
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are
incorporated into this Cooperative Agreement by reference as though fully set forth herein.
2. Term. This Cooperative Agreement shall be effective as of the date first set forth above,
and shall continue in effect until the Project is complete, as evidenced by both the City’s recording
of a notice of completion for the Project and RCTC’s payment of all outstanding reimbursements.
3. General Agreement to Cooperate. The Parties agree to mutually cooperate in order to help
ensure that the Project is successfully completed with minimum impact to both Parties, and the
public.
4. Obligations of RCTC.
4.1 RCTC shall pay its fair share to the City for the cost of the Project. The Parties
agree that RCTC’s fair share shall be 22% of the Project costs. RCTC’s fair share contribution is
currently estimated to be $1,471,000 (“Fair Share Contribution”), which amount shall be used to
reimburse the City for actual costs of the Project, and for no other purpose. The City shall notify
RCTC in advance of any change in the Project costs that may impact the Fair Share Contribution.
If RCTC agrees with the basis for the changed costs, the Parties shall execute an amendment to
this Cooperative Agreement to reflect the revised Fair Share Contribution amount.
4.2 RCTC shall make periodic payments to City no more frequently than monthly.
Payments of undisputed Project costs shall be made within thirty (30) days following RCTC’s
approval of an invoice from the City.

5.11 The City, as the owner of the improvements to be made pursuant to this Cooperative
Agreement, shall be solely responsible for all future maintenance thereof.
6. Time is of the Essence. Each Party warrants that it shall make its best efforts to perform
all obligations assigned to it related to the Project in such a manner as to allow the Project to
progress as scheduled.
7. Dispute Resolution. Unless otherwise specified herein, the Parties shall submit any
unresolved dispute to RCTC’s Executive Director and the City Manager for negotiation. The
Executive Director and the City Manager agree to undertake good faith attempts to resolve said
dispute, claim, or controversy within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of written notice from
the Party alleging that a dispute, claim or controversy exists. The Parties additionally agree to
cooperate with the other Party in scheduling negotiation sessions. However, if said matter is not
resolved within thirty (30) calendar days after conducting the first negotiating session, either Party
may, but is not required to, request that the matter be submitted to further dispute resolution
procedures, as may be agreed upon by the Parties.
8. Legal Action. If a matter is not resolved within thirty (30) calendar days after the first

11. Force majeure. The failure of performance by either Party (except for payment obligations)
hereunder shall not be deemed to be a default where delays or defaults are due to war; insurrection;
strikes; lock-outs; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires; casualties; acts of God; acts of the public
enemy; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; freight embargoes; lack of transportation;
governmental restrictions; unusually severe weather; inability to secure necessary labor, materials

must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default concerning the same or any other
provision of this Cooperative Agreement.

AGENDA ITEM 7F
Agenda Item 7F
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: October 11, 2017
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
David Thomas, Toll Project Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement with BNSF Railway for the State Route 91 Corridor
Improvement Project at the West Porphyry Overhead
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Agreement No. 14-31-114-03, Amendment No. 3 to Agreement No.
14-31-114-00, with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) for extended flagging
services related to the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project (91 Project) for an
additional amount of $200,000, and a total amount not to exceed $7,621,234; and
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreement on behalf of the Commission.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 91 Project (shown in Figure 1) crosses over BNSF property in four locations.
40
Agenda Item 7F
Figure 1: SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project Vicinity Map
At its May 14, 2014 meeting, the Commission approved the following four construction and
maintenance (C&M) agreements with BNSF for a total not to exceed amount of $8,053,475:
a) Agreement No. 14-31-112-00, East Porphyry Overhead, located just south of the 15/91
interchange;
b) Agreement No. 14-31-113-00, East Prado Overhead, located just east of the 71/91
interchange;
c) Agreement No. 14-31-114-00, West Porphyry Overhead located just west of the 15/91
interchange; and
d) Agreement No. 14-31-115-00, West Prado Overhead located adjacent to the SR-91/Green
River Road interchange.
At the end of 2015, it became apparent to staff the originally estimated budget for flagging
services would not be adequate to complete the work involved. Staff determined it was in the
Commission’s best interest to include flagging services for all of the C&M agreements under
Agreement No. 14-31-114-00. In April 2016, the Commission approved Amendment No. 1 to all
four BNSF agreements for the 91 Project that included a decrease to Agreement Nos.
14-31-112-00, 14-31-113-00, and 14-31-115-00, and an increase to Agreement No. 14-31-114-00
for a total amount not to exceed $9,053,475. This resulted in a revised total amount not to
exceed $6,921,234 for Agreement No. 14-31-114-00, with a remaining contingency of $276,240.
In June 2017, the Commission approved Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 14-31-114-00 to
allocate the remaining contingency and an additional $223,760, for extended flagging services
related to the 91 Project for a total amount not to exceed $7,421,234.
During the close out phase of the 91 Project, several unforeseen conditions have occurred that
have caused the remaining work adjacent to the railroad to extend beyond the planned schedule.
41
Agenda Item 7F
Therefore, additional BNSF flagging will be required to complete this remaining work. The
additional BNSF flagging, estimated at $200,000, is required to support the 91 Project through
final acceptance scheduled for November 15, 2017. Since the BNSF C&M agreements are
between BNSF, the Commission, and Caltrans, the Commission is invoiced and directly pays for
the BNSF flagging services. However, per the design-build contract, the design-builder is
responsible for the costs associated with all BNSF provided flagging services and is invoiced by
the Commission for those costs. Such reimbursements effectively reduce the expenditures
recorded.
Staff recommends approval of Agreement No. 14-31-114-03, Amendment No. 3 to Agreement
No. 14-31-114-00, with BNSF for extended flagging services in the amount of $200,000, for a total
amount not to exceed $7,621,234. Staff also recommends authorization for the Chair or
Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the amendment.

David Thomas, Toll Project Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT:
Amendment to Agreement with Inland Empire Resource Conservation District
for Compensatory Mitigation for the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement
Project
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Agreement No. 16-31-023-01, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No.
16-31-023-00, with Inland Empire Resource Conservation District (IERCD) for additional
restoration and biological monitoring effort associated with compensatory mitigation
(Coastal Sage Scrub Restoration) for an additional amount of $114,660, and a total
amount not to exceed $1,356,119; and
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreement on behalf of the Commission.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In October 2015, the Commission approved Agreement No. 16-31-023-00 with the IERCD for
Coastal Sage Scrub Restoration in an amount not to exceed $1,241,459.
The Commission contracted with the IERCD for implementation of the compensatory mitigation
plan required by the State Route 91 Corridor Improvement Project (91 Project) shown in the
figure below.
48
Agenda Item 7G
Figure 1: SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project Vicinity Map
IERCD is responsible to fulfill all requirements of the compensatory mitigation plan. This includes
site preparation, fencing, planting, irrigation, and five years of maintenance. IERCD assumes all
responsibility to implement, manage, monitor, and report mitigation progress to the Commission
and the agencies involved.
In November 2015, IERCD signed a contract with Habitat Restoration Services and started
mobilization activities. Below is a summary of the activities that were completed from November
2015 to September 2016:
• Right of entry issued May 2016 to IERCD by California Department of Parks and
Recreation;
• California gnatcatcher (CaGN) and nesting bird surveys;
• Insect monitoring;
• Placement of flagging for work areas;
• Weed abatement;
• Early clearing and grubbing for placement of water tank; and
• Design of temporary irrigation system.
Caltrans is the lead agency for coordination of the 91 Project’s Biological Opinion and Section 7
consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). In September 2016, Caltrans, through
discussions with USFWS, indicated that the restoration work may have an effect on the CaGN, a
federally endangered species, which is known to occur at the restoration site. As a result of this
potential effect to the CaGN, Caltrans requested a stop work of the restoration activities until
49
Agenda Item 7G
Caltrans completes an amendment to the 91 Project Biological Opinion to cover the restoration
work (OR/WRIV-08B0733/11F0547 dated November 30, 2011). The Biological Opinion
amendment took eight months to coordinate and was received by the Commission on April 28.
This is considered reasonable for this unforeseen involvement of a federally endangered species.
As a result of the approximate 8-month delay and additional biological monitoring requirements,
IERCD indicated that additional funding in the amount of $114,660, would be required to
reinitiate the effort and complete the restoration work. The table below provides a summary of
the IERCD costs for additional funding required.
Additional Costs for IERCD Mitigation Work (due to Biological Opinion delay)
Additional Scope Performed by Additional Cost
Restore and Maintain Habitat Restoration Services $ 37,253
Plantings Mocking Bird Nursery 8,793
Biological Monitoring IERCD or Habitat Restoration Services 52,800
Implementation & Management IERCD 15,814
Additional funding required $ 114,660
Staff recommends approval of Agreement No. 16-31-023-01, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement
No. 16-31-023-00, with IERCD for additional restoration and biological monitoring effort
associated with Coastal Sage Scrub Restoration for an additional amount of $114,660, and a total
amount not to exceed $1,356,119. Staff also recommends authorization for the Chair or

AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT TO FACILITATE
COMPENSATORY MITIGATION EFFORTS
This Amendment to the Agreement to Facilitate Compensatory Mitigation Efforts
(“Amendment”) is entered into this ___ day of _____, 2017 (“Execution Date”) by and between
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION, a government transportation
agency (“RCTC”) and the INLAND EMPIRE RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT, a
governmental special district (“IERCD”). RCTC and IERCD are sometimes referred to
individually as “Party” and collectively as “Parties.”
RECITALS
A. Grantor and Grantee previously entered into an Agreement to Facilitate
Compensatory Mitigation Efforts on October 27, 2015 (“Agreement”).
B. Pursuant to Section 1.F of the Agreement, IERCD secured a right of entry permit
to access the Chino Hills State Park from the California State Department of Parks (the
“Department”) in February 2016.
C. As a part of the Services performed under the Agreement, IERCD conducted
baseline surveys, mapped native vegetation, delineated areas for restoration, obtained approval of
a fire plan, completed a CEQA process to satisfy Department requirements, and began site
preparation, including the installation of fencing and non-native species removal.
D. In September 2016, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (“FWS”)
temporarily halted activities at the Site after learning that RCTC had not completed informal
consultation with FWS as outlined in the BO regarding potential impacts to the California
Gnatcatcher (“CAGN”) associated with the performance of the Services.
E. RCTC completed the informal consultation with FWS as detailed in a letter from
FWS addressed to Scott Quinnell dated April 28, 2017 attached as Exhibit A to this Amendment
and incorporated herein by this reference (“FWS Letter”) outlining additional biological
monitoring requirements and plans to avoid potential negative impacts on CAGN as IERCD
continues to perform the Services.
F. IERCD requires additional funding from RCTC to offset the additional costs that
will be incurred due to the delays described above and the additional requirements by the FWS
Letter (“Additional Services”).
H. RCTC agrees to pay for the Additional Services and IERCD agrees to restart the
Services, along with the Additional Services, upon receipt from RCTC of the Additional Fee, as
further defined herein.

TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
Edda Rosso, Capital Projects Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement with Best, Best & Krieger LLP for Legal Services for
the Perris Valley Line Project
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Agreement No. 12-33-115-01, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement
No. 12-33-115-00, with Best, Best & Krieger LLP (BB&K) to provide legal services for the
Perris Valley Line (PVL) project for an additional amount of $775,000, and a total amount
not to exceed $1.25 million; and
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreement on behalf of the Commission.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its September 12, 2012 meeting following a competitive procurement process, the
Commission awarded Agreement No. 12-33-115-00 to BB&K to provide legal services for the PVL
project for the total amount not to exceed $475,000. At that time, it was anticipated the project
would be closed out in December 2015. Due to the extension of the environmental process as a
result of California Environmental Quality Act litigation, the extended construction period, and
the current negotiations with the construction contractor, the actual completion of construction
has not occurred.
General legal services for the Commission and its projects and programs have been provided by
BB&K primarily through the annual recurring contract process. These legal services have been
funded with local funds in the past. The Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Small Starts grant
program utilized to partially fund the PVL project required all contracts to be competitively
procured in accordance with federal requirements. In October 16, 2012, the Commission entered
into an agreement with BB&K; the new separate agreement contained the required federal
clauses.
57
Agenda Item 7H
DISCUSSION:
At this time, additional funding is needed to continue the close out process of the project and to
defend claims submitted by the construction contractor. BB&K continues its legal services by
responding to requests for information and providing legal support to the Commission. BB&K
has hired a firm to assist on the technical matters of the claim and those additional expert costs
are included in this amendment. These additional services are required and were not envisioned;
however, they are consistent with the original scope. Accordingly, staff requests approval of the
amendment. The amendment is necessary since the duration of construction and project close
out will be longer than originally anticipated.
The cost for the proposed services is $775,000, and staff requests approval for these additional
services. Accordingly, the total authorized not to exceed amount for the agreement will be
$1.25 million. These additional costs are eligible for and will be funded with Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) and State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds,
which are already programmed on this project.

TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
Gary Ratliff, Facilities Administrator
Marlin Feenstra, Project Delivery Director
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Agreement for On-Call Maintenance and Repair Services for the Commuter
Rail Stations
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Award Agreement No. 18-24-001-00 to Braughton Construction, Inc. to provide on-call
maintenance and repair services for the commuter rail stations for a three-year term, in
the amount of $2.6 million, plus a contingency amount of $120,000, for a total amount
not to exceed $2.72 million;
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreement on behalf of the Commission; and
3) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to execute task orders awarded to the
contractor under the terms of the agreement.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Commission owns and operates nine commuter rail stations (Riverside Downtown, La
Sierra, North Main Corona, Jurupa Valley/Pedley, West Corona, Riverside-Hunter Park, Moreno
Valley/March Field, Perris Downtown, and Perris South). Station maintenance and repair
services are essential to preserve and maintain the Commission’s property investments. On-call
station maintenance and repair services efficiently and effectively respond to hazards and
provide safety measures generally related to minor construction repairs for pavement, gates
and fencing, signs, safety rails, pathways, shelters, and plumbing.
In September 2012, the Commission awarded an agreement to provide on-call station repair
and maintenance services for a three-year term, and two one-year options, for a total amount
of $1.25 million. At that time the Commission owned and operated five stations. With the
inauguration of the Perris Valley Line on June 6, 2016, four new commuter rail stations were
added for a total of nine stations. In June 2016 the Commission approved an additional amount
of $850,000 to the existing agreement for an aggregate contract value of $2.1 million.
61
Agenda Item 7I
The station repair and maintenance services are necessary to support the needs of the
Commission’s nine commuter rail stations. Accordingly, staff initiated a procurement for these
services.
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
on-call maintenance and repair services for the commuter rail stations as set forth under the
terms of the Request For Proposals (RFP) No. 18-24-001-00.
RFP No. 18-24-001-00 for on-call maintenance and repair services for the commuter rail
stations was released by staff on July 13. 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 271 firms, 66 of which are
located in Riverside County. Through the PlanetBids site, 17 firms downloaded the RFP; 5 of
these firms are located in Riverside County. One firm – Braughton Construction, Inc. (Rancho
Cucamonga) – submitted a proposal. Utilizing the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP, the
proposal was evaluated and scored by an evaluation committee comprised of Commission and
Bechtel staff.
Since staff received one proposal, it reviewed the solicitation specifications for undue
restrictiveness and surveyed potential sources that chose not to submit a proposal. Reasons for
not submitting a proposal included other contractors having limited staff and enough projects
on-hand. Staff concluded the requirements listed in the scope of work and other terms and
conditions were not unnecessarily or excessively restrictive, an adequate opportunity to
compete was provided, and factors other than the solicitation were responsible for the receipt
of one proposal for this RFP.
Accordingly, the evaluation committee provided final scoring based on a comprehensive
evaluation of the written proposal. Based on the evaluation committee’s assessment, the
evaluation committee determined Braughton Construction, Inc. to be qualified to perform the
work outlined in the scope of services.
As a result of the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written proposal, the evaluation
committee recommends Braughton Construction, Inc. for award of on-call maintenance and
repair services for the commuter rail stations for a three-year term in the aggregate amount of
$2.72 million, including a $120,000 contingency amount. Initially, this RFP contemplated an
award for an additional two, two-year options; however, since only one qualified proposal was
submitted, staff determined that the agreement term should be for a shorter period in order to
conduct a new procurement that may yield additional proposals.
62
Agenda Item 7I
The Commission’s model on-call maintenance and repair services agreement will be entered
into with Braughton Construction, Inc., subject to any changes approved by the Executive
Director, and pursuant to legal counsel review. The work is to be issued on an as-needed task
order basis. Staff oversight of the contract will work to maximize the effectiveness of the
consultants and minimize costs to the Commission.
Staff projections for the maintenance and repair services and related funding under the new
agreement are based on the following assumptions:
• $400,000 in annual maintenance and repair expenditures for all nine commuter rail
stations to be funded primarily using 2009 Measure A Western County rail funds;
• $1.4 million for rehabilitation and efficiency projects (pavement rehabilitation and seals,
concrete, fence, gates, Americans with Disabilities Act improvements, pedestrian
pathways and shelters) for which grant funds are available or are expected in the future;
and
• $120,000 in contingency.

information required by such forms. Responsibility for compliance with California Labor Code
Section 1776 shall rest solely with Contractor, and Contractor shall make all such records
available for inspection at all reasonable hours.
3.3.7 Registration. Since the Services are being performed as part of an
applicable “public works” or “maintenance” project, then pursuant to Labor Code Sections
1725.5 and 1771.1, the Contractor and all subcontractors must be registered with the Department
of Industrial Relations. Contractor shall maintain registration for the duration of the Project and
require the same of any subcontractor. This Project may also be subject to compliance
monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Contractor’s
sole responsibility to comply with all applicable registration and labor compliance requirements.
3.3.8 Employment of Apprentices. This Agreement shall not prevent the
employment of properly indentured apprentices in accordance with the California Labor Code,
and no employer or labor union shall refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as
indentured apprentices on the work performed hereunder solely on the ground of race, creed,
national origin, ancestry, color or sex. Every qualified apprentice shall be paid the standard
wage paid to apprentices under the regulations of the craft or trade in which he or she is
employed and shall be employed only in the craft or trade to which he or she is registered.
If California Labor Code Section 1777.5 applies to the Services, Contractor and
any subcontractor hereunder who employs workers in any apprenticeable craft or trade shall
apply to the joint apprenticeship council administering applicable standards for a certificate
approving Contractor or any sub-contractor for the employment and training of apprentices.
Upon issuance of this certificate, Contractor and any sub-contractor shall employ the number of
apprentices provided for therein, as well as contribute to the fund to administer the
apprenticeship program in each craft or trade in the area of the work hereunder.
The parties expressly understand that the responsibility for compliance with
provisions of this Section and with Sections 1777.5, 1777.6 and 1777.7 of the California Labor
Code in regard to all apprenticeable occupations lies with Contractor.
3.3.9 Eight-Hour Law. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Labor Code,
eight hours of labor shall constitute a legal day's work, and the time of service of any worker
employed on the work shall be limited and restricted to eight hours during any one calendar day,
and forty hours in any one calendar week, except when payment for overtime is made at not less
than one and one-half the basic rate for all hours worked in excess of eight hours per day
("Eight-Hour Law"), unless Contractor or the Services are not subject to the Eight-Hour Law.
Contractor shall forfeit to Commission as a penalty, $50.00 for each worker employed in the
execution of this Agreement by him, or by any sub-contractor under him, for each calendar day
during which such workman is required or permitted to work more than eight hours in any
calendar day and forty hours in any one calendar week without such compensation for overtime
violation of the provisions of the California Labor Code, unless Contractor or the Services are
not subject to the Eight-Hour Law.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On April 28, 2017, Governor Brown signed SB 132, which provides $427 million for a program
known as the Riverside County Transportation Efficiency Corridor (RCTEC). The program
comprises five needed projects in northwest Riverside County, including: new tolled express
lanes connectors from the 91 Express Lanes to the northern portion of I-15; railroad grade
separations at Jurupa Road and McKinley Street; an expanded freeway interchange at I-15 and
Limonite Avenue; and the replacement of the Hamner Bridge over the Santa Ana River. The
$427 million is a direct appropriation in the Fiscal Year 2016/17 State budget which made the
funds available for these projects immediately.
After the signing of SB 132, Commission staff began work planning the delivery of what is now
known as the 15/91 ELC. The 15/91 ELC was considered and analyzed as part of the previously
86
Agenda Item 8
approved SR-91 Capital Improvement Project (now called the 91 Project) and will provide tolled
express lanes connectors between the existing 91 Express Lanes and the future I-15 Express Lanes
to the north of SR-91 (Figure 1 Vicinity Map and Attachment 3 Schematic). SB 132 allocated
$180 million for the 15/91 ELC for all project development costs. To incentivize timely delivery
of the RCTEC program of projects, SB 132 requires all funds be spent by June 30, 2023. Further,
subject to and contingent on all environmental approvals, the Commission-led 15/91 ELC intends
to consider the award a construction contract by June 2020, to meet its commitment to the
RCTEC program.
Figure 1 I-15/SR-91 Express Lanes Connector Project Vicinity Map
SB 132 also statutorily created a task force to develop recommendations to accelerate project
delivery of the RCTEC projects. On June 27, 2017, Governor Brown signed budget trailer bill AB
115 through which the Commission received additional project delivery authority to ensure cost-
effective and timely delivery of the 15/91 ELC. Specifically, additional project delivery authority
included the following methods to deliver a capital project: design-build, construction
manager/general contractor, amendment to any existing I-15 Express Lanes Project (I-15 ELP) or
91 Express Lanes Project contract, and other delivery methods authorized by law.
87
Agenda Item 8
Overall Procurement Strategy
In order to meet the Commission commitments and legislative mandates, staff analyzed those
methods authorized by AB 115 and other methods to procure the needed 15/91 ELC services
including: legal advisory, financial advisory, traffic and revenue studies, preliminary engineering,
environmental documentation, project and construction management, civil design, construction,
toll planning/design/installation, and toll operations and maintenance.
Staff recommends delivering the 15/91 ELC through a series of contract amendments to existing
contracts with engineering companies, contractors, toll vendors, legal and financial advisors. The
table below provides a summary of the work elements, contracts, and approximate timing for
Commission approval, with the award of any construction contracts being subject to completion
of required environmental review.

* = Commission approval of an amendment to this contract is proposed as part of this agenda
report
Significant factors influencing staff’s recommendation to amend existing contracts include:
• Time savings due to eliminating numerous competitive procurements allowing the
Commission to meet the statutory deadlines and Commission commitments pertaining to
the funding;
• Potential cost economies of scale achieved by combining work scope (e.g. construction)
allowing the Commission to complete the 15/91 ELC within the $180 million funding limit;
• Long-term relationship, work history, and familiarity with Commission’s prior financing
and design-build work for the 91 Project and I-15 ELP allowing staff to build upon past
project delivery successes thereby lowering the project delivery risk for the 15/91 ELC;
and
• Ability to minimize impacts to the travelling public, 91 Express Lanes customers, and
ongoing I-15 ELP construction by utilizing the same design-build contractor to perform
final civil design and construction as the I-15 ELP.
Final civil design and construction represents the largest contract amendment amount
anticipated. Staff and its consultants considered several procurement options for final civil
design and construction. Other options included competitive procurements using progressive
design-build, low-bid design-build, and more traditional design-bid-build procurements. Staff
considered many factors such as procurement cost, design cost, construction cost, risk transfer
to contractor, time to procure or negotiate change, schedule to open lanes, federal
Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loan impact, impact to existing I-15 ELP
work, and others.
At its April 2017 meeting, the Commission awarded a $243.9 million design-build contract to SAJV
for the I-15 ELP final civil design and construction now underway. Staff concluded amending this
existing SAJV design-build contract is the option that offers the Commission the best chance of
meeting the 15/91 ELC goals of schedule, budget, and impact reduction. Further, staff believes
this contract amendment to add the 15/91 ELC can be accomplished without delay of the opening
of the I-15 ELP and would be a key element of future negotiations. Award of a contract
amendment authorizing construction is contingent on and will not be made prior to completion
of all required environmental review.
89
Agenda Item 8
In addition to amending the contract, staff would implement the following actions to ensure that
a fair and reasonable cost, schedule and risk transfer is negotiated with SAJV for the 15/91 ELC
work:
• Perform an independent construction estimate by a suitable contractor/estimator to
allow for a separate comparison of costs and to support direct negotiations with SAJV;
and
• Propose and adhere to a strict negotiation schedule with SAJV allowing for an alternative
procurement strategy (plan B) to be timely implemented should staff feel it warranted
due to the outcome of negotiations with SAJV. Staff recommends a low-bid, design-build
as the alternative procurement strategy meeting the same 15/91 ELC goals should it be
warranted.
Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Documentation Work Phase
The 15/91 ELC was originally part of the SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project (now called the 91
Project), which opened earlier this year. That project’s preliminary engineering and
environmental document work phase started in 2007. Due to the recession and budget
constraints, the 15/91 ELC and other project elements were not environmentally cleared with
the 91 Project and were deferred to 2035. With the passage of SB 132, it is now possible to
advance the 15/91 ELC earlier and closer to the original schedule.
Consistent with the overall procurement strategy discussed previously, staff is recommending
that a contract amendment to the Parsons agreement be approved to complete the preliminary
engineering and environmental document work phase for the 15/91 ELC. Based on prior
environmental work performed as part of the 91 Project and recent discussions with Caltrans
management, staff believes an environmental revalidation of the original 91 Project
environmental impact report/environmental impact statement is the appropriate level of
environmental effort.
Based on this key assumption, staff negotiated the scope and fee as shown in Attachment 1 with
Parsons as an amendment to its existing project and construction management contract for the
I-15 ELP, which was originally approved in April 2015 following a competitive procurement.
Parsons worked with staff earlier this year to obtain approval of two other significant
environmental revalidations associated with the I-15 ELP. Therefore, it has the needed staff, very
recent experience, and project-specific knowledge making it the best option to perform this
work. Staff and Parsons estimated an 18-month period to complete this preliminary engineering
and environmental documentation work phase.
Staff and Caltrans negotiated an agreement for the PA/ED work phase. This agreement reflects
typical provisions between the Commission and Caltrans for this work phase including the
respective responsibilities by both agencies for project costs, permits, quality control, schedule,
standards, consultant selection, and other provisions.
90
Agenda Item 8
Recommendations
Staff recommends approval of the overall procurement strategy for the 15/91 ELC, which
essentially consists of a series of contract amendments to existing contracts for the 91 Project
and I-15 ELP. Staff will return for Commission approval for other individual contract amendments
and budget adjustments through the course of the 15/91 ELC’s development as necessary to
meet project delivery goals.
Additional actions which are currently needed are approval of Agreement No. 15-31-001-02 with
Parsons to complete preliminary engineering and environmental documentation for the 15/91
ELC, in the amount of $1,882,000, plus a contingency of $188,200, for a total amount not to
exceed $2,070,200. Staff also recommends authorization for the Chair or Executive Director,
pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the amendment.
Staff also recommends immediate approval of Agreement No. 18-31-055-00 with Caltrans for
PA/ED work. Staff also recommends authorization for the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant
to legal counsel review, to execute the final agreement.

DRAFT102
Consultant shall provide environmental services to satisfy environmental documentation
requirements under CEQA and NEPA for the 15/91 ELC project. The environmental
document is defined as a CEQA/NEPA revalidation. The type of environmental
document will be determined by the Commission before the start of environmental
activities. In support of the environmental document for the project, the Consultant shall
prepare technical memor anda and/or standalone technical studies to update previous
environmental findings and/or analyze potential impacts of the express lane connectors
to various environmental resources.
Based on our review of the preliminary layout of the 15/91 ELC Project, there are no
effects or impacts to the following environmental resources: land use, farmlands,
Section 4(f)/6(f), cultural/historical and energy. A technical study or technical
memoranda will not be prepared for these resources.
E.1 Environmental Updates and Technical Memoranda
It is anticipated that some minor change in environmental effects or
environmental setting are anticipated since the approval of the SR-91 CIP Final
EIR/EIS, (2012) for the following environmental resources and would be
documented either in the environmental document or technical memoranda:
growth, right of way, aerially deposit lead updated tolerance evaluation,
utilities/emergency services, visual/aesthetics, hydrology, geology, paleontology,
hazardous waste/materials, and cumulative impacts. It is assumed that most of
the previously prepared analyses and reports for these environmental resources
could be used to document potential impacts associated with the 15/91 ELC
project (no additional surveys or research of empirical data would not be
conducted). Impact findings are anticipated to be similar to the previous findings
in the Final EIR/EIS and would require minimal effort. A short discussion in the
environmental document or a technical memo will be prepared addressing
minimal changes to the project and justification on the validity of the previous
environmental analyses and findings stated in the Final EIR/EIS.
Consultant shall provide a discussion in the environmental document or prepare
technical memoranda for the following environmental resources:
Growth
Community Impacts
Utilities/Emergency Service
Visual/Aesthetics
Hydrology/Floodplain
Water Quality and Stormwater Runoff
Geology
Hazardous Waste/ Materials DRAFT103
Noise and Vibration
Cumulative Impacts
Deliverables: Discussion in the Revalidation document for the above mentioned
environmental resources.
Due to changes in environmental setting and/or potential impacts associated with the
additional project feature to Phase 1 of the SR-91 CIP, there are potential changes to
environmental effects resulting from the 15/91 ELC Project. Environmental resources
that require additional analyses and/or supplemental documentation include the
following resources: biology and air quality. The following standalone environmental
technical studies will be prepared for the project:
E.2 Supplemental Natural Environment Study
Consultant shall prepare a Supplemental Natural Environmental Study (SNES) to
include an updated IPAC and CNDBB species list. The SNES will include an
update to vegetation impacts, habitat impacts and jurisdictional resources
resulting from the 15/91 ELC project. Up to three reviews are anticipated.
Deliverables: Supplemental Natural Environmental Study
E.3 Air Quality
Consultant shall prepare a Supplemental Air Quality Study to update emissions
analysis resulting from the 15/91 ELC project. This report will provide an
emissions estimate to the additional project feature at opening year conditions. It
is assumed that horizon year 2035 conditions analysis will not be required. Up to
three reviews are anticipated.
Deliverables: Supplemental Air Quality Technical Study
E.4 Environmental Documentation
Depending on the results of the technical studies, it is anticipated that the
environmental documentation would be Revalidation, if the results of the
technical studies indicate that there are no significant or substantial impacts
beyond those identified in the SR-91 CIP Final EIR/EIS, dated August 2012. If
additional substantial impacts are identified, a Supplemental EIS would be
required, which would require an amendment to this scope. The following
environmental documentation activities will be completed for this scope:
E.5 Revalidation
DRAFT104
Consultant shall prepare a CEQA/NEPA Revalidation/Re-evaluation Form
summarizing the results of the supplemental technical studies. For environmental
resources resulting in no change since the previous environmental approval
and/or minor change in environmental setting and/or effects, a short discussion
justifying the validity of the Final EIR/EIS will be prepared in the Revalidation
Form. Up to three reviews are anticipated for the approval of the Revalidation
Form.
Deliverables: CEQA/NEPA Revalidation
E.6 Record of Decision (ROD)
Consultant shall prepare a Record of Decision (ROD) discussing potential effects
of the ELC project. Since the revalidation will not be circulated for public review,
response to comments will not be included in the ROD. The following activities
will be conducted by the Consultant for this effort:
Prepare ROD summarizing the results of the supplemental environmental
studies
Draft Statute of Limitations on Claims and submit to Caltrans for review and
approval.

AGENDA ITEM 9
Agenda Item 9
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: October 11, 2017
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Budget and Implementation Committee
Lorelle Moe-Luna, Senior Management Analyst
Grace Alvarez, Planning and Programming Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: California Transportation Commission’s Active Transportation Program
Cycle 3 Augmentation Funding Recommendations
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve the two highest scoring active transportation projects for inclusion in the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 3
Augmentation Regional Program, consisting of the Riverside County Department of Public
Health’s Cabazon/Banning Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program and the Coachella Valley
Association of Governments’ (CVAG) CV Link project, for funding totaling approximately
$4,799,222;
2) Approve the Riverside County ATP contingency list, consisting of the next highest scoring
projects, for inclusion in the MPO ATP Augmentation Regional Program;
3) Submit the recommended projects to the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) for inclusion in the MPO ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation Regional
Program and subsequent submittal to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for
final approval in December 2017;
4) Submit the MPO ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation regional projects to SCAG for inclusion in the
Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) programming; and
5) Direct staff to coordinate with the MPO ATP Regional Program project sponsors regarding
timely funding allocations, obligations, and project delivery.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
ATP Cycle 3
ATP is a highly competitive statewide program that funds bicycle and pedestrian facilities and
programs to enhance or encourage walking and biking. Cycle 3 commenced in June 2016, and
approximately $264 million was available in funding for Fiscal Year 2019/20 and FY 2020/21. A
total of 456 applications were submitted statewide requesting nearly $977 million. The CTC
awards 50 percent of the funds at the statewide competitive level, 10 percent to small urban and
rural regions, and 40 percent at the large MPO level. The ATP process allows applicants two
129
Agenda Item 9
rounds of opportunity to be awarded – statewide and MPO level. As part of the sequential
project selection, projects are first evaluated statewide and those that are not ranked high
enough for statewide funding are automatically provided a second opportunity for funding
through the large MPO share.
ATP guidelines require that the large MPOs work with county transportation commissions to
develop its regional program recommendations. SCAG, as one of the largest MPOs receives
about half of the MPO funds in the state and distributes 95 percent to the counties based on
population for implementation projects and sets aside 5 percent for planning and
non-infrastructure projects. Riverside County was allotted approximately $6.6 million for
implementation projects and in January 2017, the Commission approved the award of these
funds to the next highest scoring projects.
A total of 26 projects were submitted from local agencies in Riverside County, requesting about
$66 million. In total, 7 projects were awarded (three from statewide and four from MPO),
totaling $18 million in ATP Cycle 3 funds. See Attachment 1 for list of approved Cycle 3 statewide
and MPO projects.
ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation Funds
In April 2017, with the passage of SB 1, an additional $200 million for the program became
available for FY 2017/18 and FY 2018/19 and a call for projects for ATP Augmentation funds was
released on June 30, 2017, allowing only Cycle 3 applicants to apply. A total of $8 million, which
is 4 percent of the available funding was allocated to the California Conservation Corps and the
remaining funds were distributed as follows: $96 million (48 percent) for the statewide
competitive component, $19.2 million (9.6 percent) for small urban and rural regions, and
$76.8 million (38.4 percent) for the large MPO component. Priority of funds were given to
projects, which could deliver one or more phases in FY 2017/18 and FY 2018/19, and as
programming capacity became available in FY 2019/20 and FY 2020/21 additional projects were
considered for funding. Applications were due August 1, 2017, and a total of 20 applications
were submitted from local agencies in this county.
CTC staff’s statewide competitive component recommendations were released August 31, 2017
and included 11 projects (8 of which are new) from Riverside County, as shown in the table below.

The projects listed above represent 26.5 percent of the proposed $98.9 million of programming
for Cycle 3 Augmentation funds, which total includes the recommendation to over program by
approximately $3 million. Approval for these projects is anticipated at the October 18-19, 2017
CTC meeting. See Attachment 2 for full listing of CTC Recommendations.
The SCAG MPO ATP Augmentation share is about $40 million (of the $76.8 million large MPO
funds) and includes $38 million for implementation projects and $2 million for planning and
non-infrastructure activities.
Riverside County’s share for implementation projects is approximately $4.8 million. MPO ATP
guidelines allow each county transportation commission to add up to 10 points to the CTC score
for projects based on local criteria. In May 2014, the Commission approved adding 10 points to
projects consistent with adopted local and regional plans, consistent with state and MPO ATP
guidelines. All projects submitted within the county, at a minimum, are consistent with the SCAG
adopted 2016 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy.
The CTC’s ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation program guidelines added a provision for the MPO
component to allow supplanting of funds to projects that received less ATP funding than
requested in Cycle 3 due to the fact that the SB 1 funding was made soon after the CTC’s
recommendations for Cycle 3 were approved. Staff recommends that the approximately
$4.8 million allotted to Riverside County for implementation projects be awarded to the next
highest scoring projects, listed below, that requested advancements in programming or received
partial funding in Cycle 3.

Staff is continuing to work with SCAG on the programming capacity of funds available under Cycle
3 and the Cycle 3 Augmentation. It is possible that after a comprehensive review of all of the
county transportation commissions’ recommendations for Cycle 3 Augmentation that further
adjustments may be required; however, the total allocation of $4.8 million will be distributed
among the highest scoring projects.
Staff also recommends the next highest scoring projects (as shown in Attachment 1) be submitted
to SCAG for a contingency list. In the event that a programmed project is delivered for less or
fails, a contingency list will be provided to the CTC and will be in effect only until the adoption of
the next statewide program.
The $2 million set aside for planning and non-infrastructure projects will be selected from SCAG’s
Sustainability Planning Grants (SPG) program. Projects that will be considered for funding are:
1) those that submitted through SCAG’s 2016 SPG program that were unfunded; and 2) new
projects submitted in SCAG’s 2017 supplemental call for projects, which opened July 6, 2017 with
applications due August 31, 2017. To qualify as a planning project, applicants must also meet
ATP requirements such as qualification as a disadvantaged community (DAC). The DAC
requirement does not apply to non-infrastructure programs. As of the writing of this staff report,
SCAG recommendations for this program have not been made available.
Next Steps
Upon approval of the above recommendations, staff will submit the projects to SCAG for
inclusion in the MPO ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation Regional Program, which will be approved by the
SCAG Regional Council on October 5, 2017. SCAG will then submit the MPO Augmentation
projects to the CTC for final approval at the CTC’s December 5-6, 2017 meeting.
Staff will work closely with project sponsors in preparing allocation funding requests and requests
for obligating federal funds. Projects awarded under the MPO component must obtain
concurrence from the Commission on each allocation request for funding as required by the CTC.
Projects will also be required to be included in the FTIP.
As a condition of the project allocation for the statewide and MPO ATP programs, the CTC
requires project sponsors to submit to Caltrans semi-annual reports on the activities and progress
132
Agenda Item 9
made toward implementation of the project and a final delivery report upon project completion.
The purpose of the reports is to ensure that the project is implemented in a timely manner
according to the scope and budget identified in the project application.
Staff will continue to participate in CTC/Caltrans working groups to further develop and improve
the ATP guidelines and process, and participate in future evaluations of ATP project applications.
The next ATP Call for Projects is expected to commence in early Spring 2018.
Financial Impact
ATP funds are administered through the CTC, Caltrans, and the Federal Highway Administration.
The Commission is not a recipient of these MPO ATP funds; therefore, there is no fiscal impact to
the Commission’s budget.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: October 11, 2017
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Budget and Implementation Committee
Martha Masters, Management Analyst
Grace Alvarez, Planning and Programming Manager
THROUGH: Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
SUBJECT: Revision to the Fiscal Year 2017/18 SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
Program Funding Recommendations
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve the Revised Fiscal Year 2017/18 SB 821 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
program recommended projects as shown in Attachment 1 in the amount of $3,343,187
to include an additional three projects in the cities of Lake Elsinore, La Quinta, and
Temecula;
2) Direct staff to prepare and execute memorandums of understanding (MOU) with the
three additional project sponsors to outline the project schedule and local funding
commitments; and
3) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreements on behalf of the Commission.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On July 12, 2017, the Commission approved 21 projects totaling $3,599,364 for SB 821 funding
as indicated in Attachment 1. Due to the passage of SB 1, which provides an increase of
$100 million annually to the Active Transportation Program (ATP), the California Transportation
Commission (CTC) decided to augment the ATP Cycle 3 program. On June 30, 2017, the CTC
released the ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation call for projects allowing agencies that applied under
the recently concluded ATP Cycle 3 process the opportunity to apply for ATP Cycle 3
Augmentation funds made available from SB 1. Applications were due to the CTC on August 1,
2017.
Staff was aware that projects submitted under the Commission’s SB 821 call for projects were
also being submitted for the CTC’s ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation call for projects. In most cases,
these ATP project applications represented larger projects, and the SB 821 project applications
represented smaller portions of the ATP applications. Project sponsors strategically submitted
larger projects for the ATP program since the ATP funding had a significant amount of funding
139
Agenda Item 10
available compared to the SB 821 funding. As a result, at the July 12, 2017 Commission meeting
staff recommended to return to the Commission with a revision to the FY 2017/18 SB 821
funding recommendations, if SB 821 funding was freed up from projects approved through the
ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation.
Revised Allocations
On August 31, 2017, the CTC notified agencies of the 2017 ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation
recommendations that will be presented to the CTC at its October 18-19, 2017 meeting for final
adoption. Two projects that were included in the SB 821 funding recommendations are being
recommended for ATP Cycle 3 Augmentation funding:
• County of Riverside – Clark Street Sidewalk project
• City of Riverside – Carmine Street Sidewalk Improvements project
Upon CTC’s approval of ATP Augmentation funds for the above two projects in October, staff
recommends removing these projects from the FY 2017/18 SB 821 allocations. This action
would free up a total of $724,000 SB 821 funds that would be programmed to the following
three next highest scored projects:
Agency Project Title Allocation
Lake Elsinore Palomar Multi-Use Trail $ 245,523
La Quinta Jefferson Street Sidewalk Gap Closure 90,000
Temecula Citywide Buffered Bike-Lane Striping 132,300
Total $ 467,823
The remaining FY 2017/18 SB 821 amount of $256,177 is not sufficient to fully fund the
construction of the next two projects that were tied at a score of 33.67; therefore, based on
prior practice it is recommended the remaining funds be reserved for the FY 2019/20 SB 821
Call for Projects. All project scores are included in Attachment 1.

**There may be a difference due to rounding.
Per the Commission’s SB 821 adopted policies, jurisdictions receiving an allocation have
24 months to complete approved projects and submit claim forms for reimbursement upon
project completion. MOUs will be required to outline the project schedules, funding plan, and
local agency match commitment. Staff will monitor the progress of the projects to ensure
timely implementation of delivery and expenditures as the intent of the SB 821 program is to
deliver and expend FY 2017/18 and FY 2018/19 funds within the timeframe of this cycle.

Agenda Item 10
Future Opportunities
It is anticipated that the CTC will have an ATP Cycle 4 Call for Projects sometime in March of
next year. Staff encourages the agencies to start considering projects to apply for ATP funds
and begin the process of crafting the applications as soon as possible.
