Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS)
o Regional emission analysis
o Timely implementation of Transportation Control Measures (TCMs)
o Financially constraint
o Interagency consultation and public involvement and public outreach
• The Commission’s Role – Through the FTIP process, the Commission is responsible

with state and federal guidelines
o Ensures the projects proposed complement strategies identified in SCAG’s
RTP/SCS

flow or congestion conditions
o TCMS must be operational or implemented by the completion date
committed to in the FTIP
o 37 TCM projects in the 2019 FTIP (all Riverside County)
o Estimated cost of $1.36 billion
• FTIP process
• 2019 FTIP Resolution – Certifies the Riverside County portion of the FTIP is
financially constrained and affirm the commitment to implement the projects
In response to Commissioner Shelley Kaplan’s inquiry it was noted the estimated cost for
2019 is $1.36 billion, although SCAG’s Fund Summary attachment references $1.57 billion
for Riverside County, Martha replied the differences are the TCMs. Staff tried to indicate
the projects that are required to be completed, which is the $1.37 billion and in total for
the entire county for all the projects submitted that is $7 billion.

AGENDA ITEM 7A
Agenda Item 7A
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 11, 2018
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:
1) Receive and file an update on state and federal legislation; and
2) Adopt the following bill positions:
a) SB 1119 (Newman) – Support.
DISCUSSION:
State Update
SB 1119 (Newman) – SUPPORT
The Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) was created by the California legislature
“to provide operating and capital assistance for transit agencies to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and improve mobility, with a priority on serving disadvantaged communities.” LCTOP
funding is distributed by formula to transit agencies throughout the state. Currently, the law
specifies that transit agencies that serve disadvantaged communities must spend at least
50 percent of the funding received on specified projects or services and benefit disadvantaged
communities.
SB 1119 proposes to allow for the 50 percent requirement to be met if transit agencies spend
LCTOP funding on transit fare subsidies, including those for students; on transit connections to
major employment areas, education centers, or medical facilities for residents of disadvantaged
or low-income communities; or on technology improvements that reduce emissions of
greenhouse gases, including the purchase of zero-emission buses and fueling infrastructure.
Staff believes making transit fare subsidies, transit connections, and technology improvements
eligible LCTOP expenditures can enhance the Commission’s transit agencies’ ability to utilize the
funds coming in to Riverside County and enhance transit access to more individuals. As such,
1
Agenda Item 7A
staff is recommending the Commission support SB 1119, which is also aligned with two
principles in the 2018 State and Federal Legislative Platform:
1. Regional Control – Policies should be sensitive to each region’s unique needs and avoid
“one size fits all” assumptions, especially regarding the balance among highways,
transit, rail, and freight; and urban, suburban, and rural needs.
2. Alternatives to Driving: Transit and Rail – Support all transit operators in Riverside
County with legislative concerns impacting the operators’ funding and operations.

Agenda Item 7B
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 11, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
Jennifer Crosson, Toll Operations Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Agreement for Express Lanes Marketing Services – Notice To Proceed 2
Services
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Agreement No. 18-31-047-01, Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No.
18-31-047-00, with Sherry Matthews, Inc., DBA Sherry Matthews Advocacy Marketing
(Sherry Matthews) for notice to proceed (NTP) 2 services related to express lanes
marketing;
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 to issue NTP 2 for an additional amount of $2,225,000,
and a total amount not to exceed (NTE) $2.5 million.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
With the opening of the RCTC 91 Express Lanes in March 2017 as part of the State Route 91
Corridor Improvement Project (91 Project), the Commission embarked on its first business-type
activity as the owner of a managed lanes enterprise—a major change from its traditional
governmental activities. In 2020, the Commission will open the 15 Express Lanes, its second
enterprise, with the completion of the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project (I-15 ELP).
Approximately two years later, the 15/91 Express Lanes Connector (15/91 ELC) is anticipated to
be completed and start operations.
The financing for the 91 Project and the I-15 ELP included Transportation Infrastructure Finance
and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loans of approximately $421.1 million and $152.2 million, respectively.
The Commission also issued toll revenue bonds of $176.7 million for the 91 Project. Toll revenues
from the RCTC 91 Express Lanes and the 15 Express Lanes are pledged as security for repayment
of the TIFIA loans and the toll revenue bonds will be used to pay operating costs and major
rehabilitation costs.
7
Agenda Item 7B
No governmental funds were pledged to fund the operations, major rehabilitation, and debt
service costs for these enterprises. Accordingly, the Commission is required to (i) operate and
maintain these express lanes in a reasonable and prudent manner and (ii) maintain them in good
repair, working order, and condition and in accordance with the requirements of applicable laws
and the related financing documents.
In order to operate and maintain the express lanes such that sufficient toll revenues are
generated to at least cover operating, debt service, and major rehabilitation costs, it is critical
that the Commission develop and implement effective marketing strategies to promote use of
the express lanes. Staff conducted a competitive procurement for express lanes marketing
services and presented its original recommendation last month.
Committee Feedback and Modified Contract Approach
At its February 26, 2018 Western Riverside County Programs and Projects (WRCPP) Committee
meeting, staff presented a proposed agreement with Sherry Matthews for express lanes
marketing services following a competitive procurement process. Committee members directed
staff to:
• Provide additional information regarding the work to be performed under the proposed
express lanes marketing services agreement including additional details of the work,
schedule, and proposed cost;
• Provide information related to spending and performance metrics for comparable
marketing services by the Commission and other agencies; and
• Eliminate the proposed contract contingency of $350,000 and require Commission
approval of the costs for and exercise of any of the two two-year options to extend the
agreement.
At its March 14, 2018 meeting, the Commission approved the express lanes marketing services
agreement and authorized a NTE amount for NTP 1 services of $275,000 to Sherry Matthews.
NTP 1 services include efforts related to the transition to 6C transponders for the 91 Express
Lanes and early work related to branding and website development for the 15 Express Lanes toll
operations. The 6C transition costs will be shared with Orange County Transportation Authority
(OCTA) on a 50/50 basis in accordance with the Orange/Riverside cooperative agreement (ORCA)
related to the joint operation of the 91 Express Lanes. The NTP 1 services approval allowed
Sherry Matthews to begin work on time-sensitive tasks, while staff gathered the additional
information requested by the Committee to support the remaining NTP 2 services work to be
performed under the proposed full agreement.
This staff report provides the details of the work to be performed under NTP 2 over a three-year
term. The combined scope and term of NTP 1 and NTP 2 and elimination of contingency reflect
a $1.35 million decrease in the cost of $3.85 million initially proposed at the February WRCPP
Committee meeting. Additionally, this staff report presents comparable marketing services
8
Agenda Item 7B
dollars spent and metrics from the Commission and other toll agencies. Therefore, staff believes
this report fulfills the WRCPP Committee’s direction.
Proposed NTP 2 Work Discussion
The work to be performed under NTP2 is driven by major express lane events that will occur
during the proposed three-year term of this agreement (early 2018 through early 2021). A
detailed cost breakdown and schedule for each express lane project was developed with
Sherry Matthews based on its experience providing similar express lanes work throughout the
United States. The cost and schedule will be refined after the market analysis in NTP 2 is
performed. A summary of the NTP 2 work to be performed, schedule and cost, in order of
occurrence, is provided below:
91 Express Lanes Customer Service Center Relocation – March 2019
The existing 91 Express Lanes Customer Service Center (CSC) will be relocated to the
Commission’s express lanes Regional Operations Center around March 2019. The CSC address is
included on many of the 91 Express Lanes customer materials and will need to be updated and
reproduced. The customer materials were originally created by the firm contracted through the
91 Project that assisted with the RCTC 91 Express Lanes opening. The 91 Project has now been
accepted as complete, so another resource is needed to update and reproduce customer
materials. This work effort will seek to mitigate customer confusion and assist in providing a
positive customer experience related to the relocation of the CSC.
The cost of this work is estimated to be $20,000 and will be shared with OCTA.
91 Express Lanes Joint Marketing Contract Expiration – Mid 2019
As provided for in the ORCA related to the joint operation of the 91 Express Lanes, the marketing
efforts for the 91 Express Lanes to date have been provided by an OCTA-managed contract with
costs shared evenly between the agencies. That contract expires in mid-2019. This agreement
with Sherry Matthews allows for the Commission to provide the joint marketing with costs shared
evenly between the two agencies. The scope of services provides for the creation of a marketing
plan, the creative work related to the updating of the 91 Express Lanes website, radio and digital
advertising, as well as an update of the public relations training and toolkits put in place in early
2017. The goal of an annual joint marketing campaign is to educate customers on how to use
the road and to stimulate new account growth and traffic growth.
The estimated cost of the 91 Express Lanes marketing campaign (18 months) is $480,000, and it
is anticipated that 50 percent of the costs will be reimbursed by OCTA.
9
Agenda Item 7B
RCTC 91 Express Lanes Account Promotions – November 2019
The 91 Express Lanes offers value-added promotions to its account holders through partnerships
with local businesses, events, and public transit operators. The current promotions are centered
in Orange County as these promotions were established by OCTA prior to the opening of the
RCTC 91 Express Lanes. Account promotions stimulate account growth that generates account-
related revenue and toll revenue. Sherry Matthews will assist the Commission in finding and
implementing value-added partnerships within Riverside County.
The cost of this work is estimated to be $20,000.
15 Express Lanes Customer Service Center Grand Opening – April 2020
The 15 Express Lanes CSC is expected to open to the public in April 2020, in advance of the new
15 Express Lanes. The CSC will be co-located with the relocated 91 Express Lanes Customer
Service Center at the Regional Operations Center. The advance opening of the CSC will allow the
15 Express Lanes CSC to answer questions about the 15 Express Lanes and open accounts for new
customers. Sherry Matthews will assist with the marketing of the new CSC. This work could
include the creation of maps, web based announcements, and banners.
The estimated cost of this effort is $15,000.
91 Express Lanes Price Sign Changes – Mid 2020
The 91 Express Lanes currently displays a joint price for customers travelling both the OCTA and
RCTC segments of the 91 Express Lanes. The opening of the 15 Express Lanes will force a change
as to how prices are displayed for customers using the 91 Express Lanes. The change will require
an update to the “How to Use” video, customer frequently asked questions, and other customer
materials. Sherry Matthews will assist with creating the new pricing messaging and related
materials.
The cost of the creative concept, message development, video creation, and material updates
and reproduction is estimated to be $30,000.
15 Express Lanes Opening – 2020
NTP 1 services provided for early work needed to advance the toll system and sign design work
currently underway. NTP 2 services will allow for the completion of a market analysis, marketing
plan, creative development and production, advertising, customer account outreach, and
coordination with the Commission’s ongoing commuter assistance outreach to employers. The
15 Express Lanes will introduce new toll technology and use policies to Riverside County. Most
noticeably, the 15 Express Lanes will introduce dynamic pricing for the first time in
Riverside County, as well as multiple ingress and egress points throughout the corridor; both are
significant changes from customers’ current experience on the 91 Express Lanes. A thorough
10
Agenda Item 7B
customer education and marketing program is necessary to inform customers about how the
new road works to avoid customer confusion and potential customer service issues. Based on
lessons learned from other new toll facilities throughout the country, failure to adequately
prepare the public for these types of changes are likely to lead to impacts such as long queues at
the CSC and on the customer service phone lines and an increase in negative correspondence to
the Commission, elected officials and other government offices.
As noted previously, the I-15 ELP financing included a TIFIA loan that requires the express lanes
to generate sufficient revenue to meet the debt obligations in addition to operating and major
rehabilitation costs. Similar to a new private business opening its doors after a significant initial
capital investment, the Commission has a fiscal responsibility to its debtors and the public to
ensure customers use and support the facility. The marketing campaign for the 15 Express Lanes
opening will strive to support these goals.
The estimated cost of this work, which will take place over a two-year period, is $1.41 million.
15/91 Express Lanes Connector Opening – 2022
The 15/91 ELC is scheduled to open in 2022, one year after the base period of this contract
expires. The 15/91 ELC may pose some customer education challenges as it will connect the
Commission’s two operating express lanes that have some differing road operations and
customer policies. The Sherry Matthews team will have important insight into both the 91 and
15 Express Lanes that, if leveraged, will help with the 15/91 ELC customer education and
marketing campaign. In order to leverage the Sherry Matthews team’s experience, staff
proposes that the base year contract include the research and marketing plan development for
the 15/91 ELC prior to the end of the contract.
The estimated cost of the 15/91 ELC work is $250,000. The actual communications and marketing
will need to be performed under a new contract or during one of the available options periods of
the Sherry Matthews contract, subject to Commission approval.
Schedule and Cost Summary
The following is a preliminary high-level schedule of the proposed work to be performed based
on the major event dates provided above.
11
Agenda Item 7B
The following is an estimated cost breakdown by project (91 Express Lanes, 15 Express Lanes and
15/91 ELC). Most of the 91 Express Lanes costs will be shared with OCTA; approximately
$250,000 is anticipated to be reimbursed by OCTA to the Commission. The 15 Express Lanes’
costs have been included in the I-15 ELP finance plan, and the 15/91 ELC costs will be included in
the 15/91 ELC budget.

Comparable Customer Education, Research and Marketing Services Information
Staff surveyed the California toll operators to obtain information regarding their customer
education, research, and marketing efforts for both new facility launches and ongoing marketing
efforts. Requests for information were made to the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA),
OCTA, San Diego Association of Governments, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority, Bay Area Toll Authority/Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), Washington
State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), and the Alameda County Transportation
Commission (ACTC). The information received is summarized in the table below. The

Marketing of New Facility Launches
The length of marketing contracts and amount spent for a new facility launch ranges from
$265,000 (RCTC 91 Express Lanes) to $5.5 million (WSDOT 405 Express Lanes). The difference in
the amount spent can be attributed to the complexity of the project and the importance of the
campaign goals.
• The RCTC 91 Express Lanes required little customer education due to existing customer
familiarity with the OCTA 91 Express Lanes and its 22-year existence. The goal of the RCTC
91 Express Lanes campaign was to educate customers on the few new differences and to
announce the opening day. The RCTC 91 Express Lanes opening was followed by the OCTA
“Life on Time” campaign. Between the two campaigns, $435,000 was spent on the
91 Express Lanes over a four-month period.
• The ACTC contract related to its new express lanes and focused on how to use the road.
The Bay Area Toll Authority, who addressed the advertising related to the FasTrak
accounts and transponders, performs the ACTC 580 Express Lanes account management.
The proposed amount for the 15 Express Lanes reflects the need for extensive customer
education and marketing to ensure customers understand how to use the new road and
technology. The 15 Express Lanes will be opening a new CSC that will also need marketing to
attract new 15 Express Lanes customers. An effective marketing strategy for the 15 Express Lanes
14
Agenda Item 7B
opening is critical to support the toll revenues needed for the operation of the express lanes and
to meet the debt obligations.
Ongoing Marketing
Ongoing marketing of existing facilities varied by toll operator and facility type. For example, the
annual marketing expenses for the 91 Express Lanes recently had an annual budget of
approximately $290,000, while the TCA annual budget is over three times that amount with a
budget of $1.3 million reflecting a different toll facility type covering a larger area.
Another perspective staff considered regarding the magnitude of ongoing marketing expenses is
the cost per customer account and cost per transponder issued. For example, staff’s proposed
contract with Sherry Matthews reflects a total estimated expense of $550,000 for the 91 Express
Lanes over three years. The total expense over a three-year period amounts to $4.03 per
customer account and $2.65 per transponder issued.
Additionally, a one-time campaign for an existing facility (e.g., the 91 Express Lanes’ 2017 Life On
Time) can factor in a certain year’s budget but not future years reflecting the focused approach
on a campaign-by-campaign basis.
A key differentiator between the Commission and most other toll operators in Southern
California is the Commission’s reliance on consultants rather than in-house staff to perform
marketing and customer education services. Whereas other operators have employees devoted
for these purposes, the Commission’s organizational structure and budget policy necessitates a
hybrid approach that requires staff from the Commission’s toll and external affairs departments
to collaborate in oversight of contracted resources. While this approach may at times result in
higher contract values, it ultimately results in lower employee and related costs.
Sherry Matthews Proposed Scope of Work
After comparing the data provided in this report to the plan for the proposed NTP 2 work, staff
believes the proposed work is appropriate considering the number of significant events to occur
over the contract period and the introduction of new technology, road design elements, and toll
policies. Staff will work with Sherry Matthews to develop detailed plans for each activity along
with a refined budget to maximize the effectiveness of the monies expended and success of the
express lanes.
SUMMARY:
Staff recommends the approval of Amendment No.1 to the Sherry Matthews agreement in the
amount of $2,225,000 for NTP 2 customer education and marketing services related to the
Commission’s express lane facilities. The cost is considered fair and reasonable, and costs of
approximately $250,000 related to joint marketing efforts for the 91 Express Lanes are
anticipated to be reimbursed by OCTA.

Agenda Item 7C
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 11, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
David Thomas, Toll Project Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Reimbursement Agreement with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway
Company 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. 18-31-104-00, with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway
Company (BNSF) for the advancement of BNSF engineering reviews required for the
Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project (I-15 ELP) for a total amount not to exceed $100,000;
and
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreement.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
A critical component of the I-15 ELP is the widening of the existing I-15 East Corona Overhead
bridge over the BNSF tracks adjacent to the State Route 91/I-15 junction (see Figure 1). In order
to complete this component, coordination with BNSF is required for the development of the
Construction and Maintenance (C&M) agreement required to be in place prior to the
construction of the widening of the I-15 East Corona Overhead.
22
Agenda Item 7C
Figure 1: I-15 Express Lanes Project Vicinity Map
The local BNSF office is currently experiencing a substantial backlog of engineering review work
due to the significant number of ongoing grade separations and other projects within Southern
California. As the Commission approaches the need for BNSF engineering review of the I-15 East
Corona Overhead C&M agreement, it is apparent that the project would need to get in line with
all the other projects that are being submitted.
An advance reimbursement agreement would allow the local BNSF office to timely hire a firm to
perform engineering review of the C&M agreement and early construction submittals to meet
the schedule demands of the I-15 ELP. Under this advance reimbursement agreement, actual
charges to the I-15 ELP would be invoiced and paid when performed by BNSF on an as-needed
basis. The advance reimbursement agreement would have a negligible increase to the BNSF
project costs, if any, as these BNSF costs would otherwise be paid after the execution of and
through the C&M agreement. An advance reimbursement agreement was also utilized on the
SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project and helped keep the project on schedule.
Staff recommends the approval of Agreement No. 18-31-104-00, with BNSF for the advancement
of BNSF engineering review required for the I-15 ELP for a total amount not to exceed $100,000;

Change Order to Amend the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project Design-Build
Contract with Skanska-Ames, a Joint Venture, for the Interstate 15/State
Route 91 Express Lanes Connector Project
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Change Order No. 5 to Agreement No. 16-31-057-00 for the Interstate 15 Express
Lanes Project (I-15 ELP) with Skanska-Ames, a Joint Venture, (Skanska-Ames) to perform
early geotechnical work and provide support staff in support of the I-15/State Route 91
Express Lanes Connector Project (15/91 ELC) in the amount of $1,790,000, plus a
contingency amount of $179,000, for a total amount of $1,969,000;
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the change order amendment on behalf of the Commission;
3) Authorize the Executive Director or designee to approve contingency work up to the total
amount not to exceed as required for the project; and
4) Approve an adjustment of $1,256,970 to the Fiscal Year 2017/18 budget to increase state
revenues and design builder expenditures.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The 15/91 ELC will provide a tolled express lanes connector between the existing 91 Express
Lanes and the future I-15 Express Lanes to the north of SR-91 (Figure 1 Vicinity Map).
28
Agenda Item 7D
Figure 1: 15/91 Express Lanes Connector Project Vicinity Map
At its October 2017 meeting, the Commission approved an overall procurement strategy for the
15/91 ELC to secure all services and construction needed to deliver the project. The approved
strategy consists of a series of contract amendments to existing 91 Project and I-15 ELP contracts
with engineering companies, contractors, toll vendors, legal, and financial advisors. The
15/91 ELC is fully funded with state funds authorized by Senate Bill 132 in April 2017.
DISCUSSION:
At the April 12, 2017 Commission meeting, following a competitively negotiated procurement,
the Commission awarded a best-value design-build contract to Skanska-Ames to design and
construct the I-15 ELP in the amount of $243,900,000, plus a contingency amount of $19,512,000
for a total amount not to exceed $263,412,000.
Based on the overall procurement strategy approved for the 15/91 ELC, staff supports a change
order to amend the I-15 ELP design-build contract to perform geotechnical work and to provide
additional support staff for three months in support of the 15/91 ELC. This effort is being
advanced ahead of other planned design-build contract change orders and amendments to
deliver the 15/91 ELC, in order to appropriately staff ongoing efforts, avoid impacts to the
I-15 ELP, and reduce the cost and impacts associated with performing this work at a later date.
Staff has negotiated contract Change Order No. 5 (Attachment 1) for a total amount of
$1,790,000.
29
Agenda Item 7D
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Change Order No. 5 to amend the design-build contract between
the Commission and Skanska-Ames in the amount of $1,790,000, plus a contingency amount of
$179,000 for a total amount of $1,969,000. Further, authorization is requested for the Chair or
Executive Director to execute the change order amendment on behalf of the Commission and for
the Executive Director or designee to approve contingency work up to the total not to exceed
amount as required for the project. Finally, staff recommends approval of an adjustment of
$1,256,970 to the FY 2017/18 budget to increase state revenues and design builder expenditures,
as the 15/91 ELC was not included in the FY 2017/18 budget.

TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: David Thomas, Toll Project Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Change Order Approval to Advance Construction in the Vicinity of the Limonite
Interchange for the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Contract Change Order No. 9 (CCO-9) to Agreement No. 16-31-057-00 with
Skanska-Ames, a Joint Venture (Skanska-Ames), to advance median construction work on
the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project (I-15 ELP) near the I-15/Limonite Avenue
Interchange Project (15/Limonite Project), in the amount of $1,071,845, plus a
contingency amount of $108,155, for a total not to exceed amount of $1,180,000;
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the change order on behalf of the Commission;
3) Authorize the Executive Director or designee to approve contingency work up to the total
not to exceed amount as required for the I-15 ELP;
4) Approve an allocation of $1,180,000 of Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF)
regional arterial funds for the I-15 ELP advance median construction work near the
Limonite Avenue Interchange;
5) Authorize the Executive Director, to pursue reimbursement from excess SB 132 funding
allocated to the County of Riverside (County) 15/Limonite Project, or other SB 132
projects, if such funding becomes available; and
6) Approve adjustments of $590,000 each to the Fiscal Year 2017/18 budget to increase
design-build expenditures, transfers in to the 2009 Measure A Western Riverside County
Highway Fund from the TUMF Fund, and transfers out from the TUMF Fund to the 2009
Measure A Western Riverside County Highway Fund.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On April 12, 2017, the Commission awarded a design-build construction contract to Skanska-
Ames to design and construct the I-15 ELP (see Figure 1). The I-15 ELP is part of the Commission’s
10-Year Western Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan and will improve I-15 in northern
Riverside County. The project includes the construction of what generally is described as two
tolled express lanes in each direction between the I-15/Cajalco Road interchange in Corona and
the I-15/State Route 60 interchange just south of the Riverside/San Bernardino County Line –
34
Agenda Item 7E
approximately 15 miles. The proposed roadway improvements will be constructed within the
existing Caltrans right of way with most of the improvements occurring within the existing I-15
median. The Commission will operate and maintain the tolled express lanes after opening for a
period of 50 years. Currently, the design of the project is approximately 80 percent complete
with mainline construction work initially scheduled to begin in late spring/early summer 2018.
Figure 1: I-15 Express Lanes Project Vicinity Map
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 now known as the
15/91 Express Lanes Connector Project (15/91 ELC); railroad grade separation at Jurupa Road;
railroad grade separation at McKinley Street; an expanded interchange at I-15 and Limonite
Avenue (15/Limonite Project); and the replacement of the Hamner Bridge over the Santa Ana
River. The $427 million is a direct appropriation in the FY 2016/17 state budget, which made the
funds available for these projects immediately.
35
Agenda Item 7E
After the signing of SB 132, Commission staff began work planning the delivery of the 15/91 ELC
as well as coordinating with the County on its plans to deliver the 15/Limonite Project. Prior to
the passage of SB 132, the 15/Limonite Project was not fully funded and was expected to be
constructed sometime after completion of the I-15 ELP. The availability of the SB 132 funds now
requires the County to advance the construction timeline for the 15/Limonite Project to be built
concurrent with the I-15 ELP.
Project Overlap and Contract Status
The advancement of the 15/Limonite Project has created interface challenges with construction
of the I-15 ELP. Staff has been working with the County to coordinate schedules, design interface,
and various construction staging issues to reduce impacts to the greatest extent possible to both
projects. The 15/Limonite Project is currently advertised for bid with construction expected to
begin in late August this year.
The I-15 ELP construction approach envisioned and proposed by Skanska-Ames at the time of
bidding the project in early 2017 prior to SB 132 did not include concurrent construction of the
15/Limonite Project. Although the design-build nature of the I-15 ELP allows for some flexibility
during design, substantive changes resulting in modification to the construction approach and
staging are required to avoid potential delay impacts to the I-15 ELP.
Opportunity to Advance I-15 ELP Work
As the coordination has continued with the County since the passage of SB 132, the 15/Limonite
Project construction start date has moved later by several months from the original aggressive
planned dates envisioned by the County. Rather than resequencing a significant portion of the I-
15 ELP to be constructed after the 15/Limonite Project with potential delay impacts to the overall
I-15 ELP, it now makes more sense to advance portions of construction of the I-15 ELP within the
limits of the planned 15/Limonite Project. The primary benefit for advancing this work is breaking
the dependency for completing major portions of the I-15 ELP work until after completion of the
15/Limonite Project. There will still be areas of I-15 ELP work that need to be completed after
the 15/Limonite Project, but the extent of this work will be greatly reduced and the major
conflicts eliminated. The work to be advanced is approximately 8,000 feet of median widening
near the 15/Limonite Project. This work must be complete prior to August 23, 2018 to avoid
impacting the start of construction of the 15/Limonite Project.
36
Agenda Item 7E
The advancement of the median work will result in the following cost impacts to the I-15 ELP:
• Nighttime Work: Advancement of this work is prior to mobilization and accommodations
for the on-site concrete batch plant and conveyor system. Concrete will now need to be
delivered from a local ready-mix plant and work will be performed at night to avoid traffic
delays resulting from a daytime operation. Increased costs are associated with nighttime
work and traffic control.
• Inefficiencies: The revised work approach will require concrete be provided from local
ready-mix plants and trucked to the site. The production rates associated with this
approach are less than would be expected with an on-site concrete plant. Advancing this
work will also require additional equipment mobilizations and increased maintenance of
traffic effort.
• Acceleration Cost: Overtime and weekend work will be required to complete the work
by August 23, 2018.
Source of Funds and SB 132 Reimbursement
The 15/Limonite Project qualifies for use of the TUMF funds. Staff proposes to use TUMF funds
to fund this CCO-9 work. Further, staff proposes to seek reimbursement of these TUMF funds
from the County’s SB 132 allocation for the 15/Limonite Project. Should excess SB 132 funds
exist from the 15/Limonite Project, or other SB 132 projects, staff would seek reimbursement.
Recommendations
Staff recommends approval of CCO-9 to Agreement No. 16-31-057-00 between the Commission
and Skanska-Ames in the amount of $1,071,845, plus a contingency amount of $108,155, for a
total amount of $1,180,000. Further, authorization is requested for the Chair or Executive
Director to execute the change order on behalf of the Commission and for the Executive Director
or designee to approve contingency work up to the total not to exceed amount as required for
the project.
Since this additional cost was not included in the plan of finance for the I-15 ELP, staff
recommends an allocation of available TUMF regional arterial funds to cover the cost. The
15/Limonite Project is a TUMF regional arterial project. Staff also recommends authorization for
the Executive Director to pursue reimbursement from excess SB 132 funding allocated to the
15/Limonite Project, or other SB 132 projects, if such funding becomes available.
Approximately $590,000 of the additional cost is expected to occur in FY 2017/18; however,
neither it or the additional funding was included in the FY 2017/18 budget. Therefore, staff
recommends a budget adjustment of $590,000 to increase the FY 2017/18 design-build
expenditures, transfers in to the 2009 Measure A Western County Highway Fund from the TUMF
Fund, and transfers out from the TUMF Fund to the 2009 Measure A Western Riverside County
Highway Fund.

plus a contingency amount of $357,537, for an additional amount of $3,932,910, and a
total amount not to exceed $12,873,478;
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 approve contingency work up to the total
amount not to exceed as required for the project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The project for improvements to the 71/91 interchange was identified and approved by the
voters in 2009 as part of the Measure A and was included in the 2009 Measure A 10-Year Western
Riverside County Highway Delivery Plan. The project will improve mobility on SR-91 and SR-71
by enhancing operations and the capacity of the 71/91 interchange by constructing a new, direct
flyover connector from eastbound SR-91 to northbound SR-71 and reconfiguring the eastbound
SR-91 ramp between Green River Road and the 71/91 Interchange. The 71/91 interchange
project is also included in the SR-91 Implementation Plan adopted by the Commission.

Agenda Item 7F
At its February 2012 meeting, the Commission awarded Agreement No. 11-31-110-00 to Parsons
to provide engineering services for the 71/91 interchange improvements in the amount of
$8,136,031, plus a contingency of $804,537, for a total amount not to exceed $8,940,568. There
have been six amendments to the agreement; however, none resulted in a change in the original
Commission authorization amount.
The environmental document was prepared by Parsons and approved in June 2011 and
revalidated in November 2014. Subsequently, Parsons prepared the PS&E package for the
project, which was conditionally approved by Caltrans in June 2015. Since that time, the
Commission has been acquiring right of way and relocating conflicting utilities required for the
project in anticipation that construction funding would eventually become available.
The passage of SB 1 last year provided an opportunity for funding the construction phase of this
project through the Solutions for Congested Corridors Program (SCCP), a competitive grant
program. The Commission approved the joint application with Caltrans for SCCP funding it’s
January 2018 meeting. The likelihood of successfully competing for these funds is maximized by
accelerating the delivery of this project; therefore, staff directed Parsons to begin preliminary
work to get the project ready for construction.
Due to the length of time since approval of the latest environmental document revalidation, the
environmental document needs to be revalidated again, and the PS&E needs to be revised per
current Highway Design Manual standards prior to construction.
Staff negotiated a scope of services with Parsons and its team to complete the environmental
document revalidation, revise the PS&E, and provide bidding and construction phase support in
the amount of $4,428,079. An unexpended balance of approximately $853,000 from the initial
authorization, including the contingency, is available to commence the effort to finalize the PS&E,
bring the project to a state of “Ready-To-List”, and prepare the construction contract for
advertisement. The estimated cost balance of $3,575,373 is the subject of Amendment No. 7 to
the Parsons agreement and is funded with SB 1 Local Partnership Program (LPP) formula funds
with 2009 Measure A Western Riverside County Highway funds as a match.
Staff will cautiously progress with this scope of services and minimize expenditures related to
this amendment in anticipation of California Transportation Commission award of SCCP funding
for the project in May and the November election. The full scope of services and costs will only
be expended if the SB 1 recall effort fails to qualify for the November ballot or is defeated in the
November election.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 7 to the agreement and authorization for the
Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement on behalf
of the Commission. Staff further recommends authorizing the Executive Director to approve
contingency work up to the total not to exceed amount as may be required for the project.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 11, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
Mark Lancaster, Project Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Approval of Utility Agreement with Southern California Gas for State Route
71/State Route 91 Interchange Project
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Agreement No. 18-31-103-00 with Southern California Gas (SCG) for
construction of utility relocations for the State Route 71/SR-91 Interchange (71/91 IC)
project in the amount of $2,890,941, plus a contingency amount of $289,094, for a total
amount not to exceed $3,180,035;
2) Authorize the 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 approve the use of the contingency
amount as may be required for this utility relocation agreement.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Commission, in cooperation with Caltrans, proposes to improve the existing 71/91 IC in the
city of Corona, Riverside County, California. The proposed improvements include constructing a
new direct connector from eastbound SR-91 to northbound SR-71 and realigning the eastbound
SR-91 entrance ramp between Green River Road and the 71/91 IC. The proposed project is
anticipated to improve mobility on SR-91 and SR-71 by enhancing operations and capacity at the
71/91 IC.
The project will require a new utility agreement with SCG to relocate an underground gas
transmission pipeline crossing under SR-71. The Commission authorized design of this relocation
in April 2016, and it was anticipated to return to the Commission for construction approval of the
relocation. As a part of establishing liability for the cost of the utility relocations, the utility owner
performs a prior rights check, which is verified by the Commission’s Utility Coordinator. Staff
anticipates that 100 percent of the cost to relocate this facility will be the Commission’s
responsibility. It is anticipated the pipeline will be relocated prior to the commencement of
71/91 IC construction activities.
64
Agenda Item 7G
The total estimated cost to relocate the SCG pipeline facility is $2,890,941. Staff recommends a
contingency of $289,094 for a total amount not to exceed $3,180,035. Additionally, staff
recommends that the Commission authorize the Executive Director to execute the utility
agreement on behalf of the Commission and authorize the Executive Director or her designee to
approve the use of the contingency amount.

UTILITY AGREEMENT (Cont.) Page 2 of 6
RW 13-5 (REV 6/2010)
II. LIABILITY FOR WORK
The existing facilities described in Section I above will be relocated at 82.76% RCTC
expense in accordance with Section 5(A) of the Master Contract dated November 1, 2004,
and 17.24% OWNER expense for that portion located within the RCTC/State’s right of way
in trespass in accordance with the following proration:
RCTC requires OWNER to relocated 145 feet of underground gas line for the project. The
total estimated cost of this relocation is $2,890,941.00.
OWNER has 120 feet of gas line installed by Easement outside of RCTC/State right of way.
OWNER pays 0% of this portion per Master Contract section 5(A).
OWNER has 25 feet of gas line installed inside RCTC/State right of way pursuant to a
trespass. OWNER pays 100% of this portion per the Streets and Highways Code.
145 linear feet = 100% of the relocation.
120 linear feet installed in Easement = 82.76% of total gas line relocation. The RCTC share
is $2,392,542.77.
25 linear feet installed in trespass = 17.24% of the total gas line relocation. The Owner’s
share is $498,398.23.
III PERFORMANCE OF WORK
OWNER agrees to perform the herein described work with its own forces or to cause the
herein described work to be performed by the OWNER’s contractor, employed by written
contract on a continuing basis to perform work of this type, and to provide and furnish all
necessary labor, materials, tools, and equipment required therefore, and to prosecute said
work diligently to completion.
OWNER agrees to cause the herein described work to be performed by a contract with the
lowest qualified bidder, selected pursuant to a valid competitive bidding procedure, and to
furnish or cause to be furnished all necessary labor, materials, tools, and equipment required
therefore, and to prosecute said work diligently to completion.
Use of out-of-state personnel (or personnel requiring lodging and meal “per diem” expenses)
will not be allowed without prior written authorization by RCTC’s representative. Requests for
such authorization must be contained in OWNER’s estimate of actual and necessary
relocation costs. OWNER shall include an explanation why local employee or contract labor
is not considered adequate for the relocation work proposed. Per Diem expenses shall not
exceed the per diem expense amounts allowed under the State’s Department of Personnel
Administration travel expense guidelines.
Work performed directly by Owner’s employees falls within the exception of Labor Code
Section 1720(a)(1) and does not constitute a public work under Section 1720(a)(2) and is not
67
UTILITY AGREEMENT (Cont.) Page 3 of 6
RW 13-5 (REV 6/2010)
subject to prevailing wages. OWNER shall verify compliance with this requirement in the
administration of its contracts referenced above.
Engineering services for locating, making of surveys, preparation of plans, specifications,
estimates, supervision, and inspection are to be furnished by the Utility Owner and approved
by RCTC. Cost principles for determining the reasonableness and allowability of OWNER’s
costs shall be determined in accordance with 48 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 31; 23 CFR, Chapter
1, Part 645; and 18 CFR, Chapter 1, Parts 101, 201 and OMB Circular A-87, as applicable.
IV PAYMENT FOR WORK
RCTC shall pay its share of the actual and necessary cost of the herein described work within
45 days after receipt of five (5) copies of OWNER’s itemized bill, signed by a responsible
official of OWNER’s organization and prepared on OWNER’s letterhead, compiled on the
basis of the actual and necessary cost and expense incurred and charged or allocated to said
work in accordance with the uniform system of accounts prescribed for OWNER by the
California Public Utilities Commission, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or Federal
Communications Commission, whichever is applicable.
It is understood and agreed that RCTC will not pay for any betterment or increase in capacity
of OWNER’s facilities in the new location and that OWNER shall give credit to RCTC for the
“used life” or accumulated depreciation of the replaced facilities and for the salvage value of
any material or parts salvaged and retained or sold by OWNER.
Not more frequently than once a month, but at least quarterly, OWNER will prepare and
submit itemized progress bills for costs incurred not to exceed OWNER’s recorded costs as
of the billing date less estimated credits applicable to completed work. Payment of progress
bills not to exceed the amount of this Agreement may be made under the terms of this
Agreement. Payment of progress bills which exceed the amount of this Agreement may be
made after receipt and approval by RCTC of documentation supporting the cost increase and
after an Amendment to this Agreement has been executed by the parties to this Agreement.
The OWNER shall submit a final bill to RCTC within 360 days after the completion of the work
described in Section I above. If RCTC has not received a final bill within 360 days after
notification of completion of OWNER’s work described in Section I of this Agreement, and
RCTC has delivered to OWNER fully executed Director’s Deeds, Consents to Common Use
or Joint Use Agreements, if required for OWNER’s facilities, RCTC will provide written
notification to OWNER of its intent to close its file within 30 days and OWNER hereby
acknowledges, to the extent allowed by law, that all remaining costs will be deemed to have
been abandoned. If RCTC processes a final bill for payment more than 360 days after
notification of completion of OWNER’s work, payment of the late bill may be subject to
allocation and/or approval by RCTC.
The final billing shall be in the form of an itemized statement of the total costs charged to the
project, less the credits provided for in this Agreement, and less any amounts covered by
progress billings. However, RCTC shall not pay final bills which exceed the estimated cost of
this Agreement without documentation of the reason for the increase of said cost from the
OWNER and approval of documentation by RCTC. Except, if the final bill exceeds the
OWNER’s estimated costs solely as the result of a revised Notice to Owner as provided for in
68
UTILITY AGREEMENT (Cont.) Page 4 of 6
RW 13-5 (REV 6/2010)
Section I, a copy of said revised Notice to Owner shall suffice as documentation. In either
case, payment of the amount over the estimated cost of this Agreement may be subject to
allocation and/or approval by RCTC.
In any event if the final bill exceeds 125% of the estimated cost of this Agreement, an
Amended Agreement shall be executed by the parties to this Agreement prior to the payment
of the OWNER’S final bill. Any and all increases in costs that are the direct result of deviations
from the work described in Section I of this Agreement, shall have the prior concurrence of
RCTC.
Detailed records from which the billing is compiled shall be retained by OWNER for a period
of three years from the date of the final payment and will be available for audit by RCTC, State
and/or Federal auditors. In performing work under this Agreement, OWNER agrees to comply
with the Uniform System of Accounts for Public Utilities found at 18 CFR Part 101, 201, et al.,
and, to the extent they are applicable to OWNER doing work on the project that is the subject
of this Agreement, the Contract Cost Principles and Procedures as set forth in 48 CFR,
Chapter 1, Part 31, et seq., 23 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 645, and 2 CFR Part 200 et al. If a
subsequent RCTC, State and/or Federal audit determines payments to be unallowable,
OWNER agrees to reimburse RCTC upon receipt of RCTC’s billing. If OWNER is subject to
repayment due to failure by RCTC to comply with applicable laws, regulations and ordinances
then RCTC will ensure that OWNER is compensated for actual cost in performing work under
this agreement.
V. GENERAL CONDITIONS
All costs accrued by OWNER as a result of RCTC’s request of September 4, 2013 to review,
study and/or prepare relocation plans and estimates for the project associated with this
Agreement may be billed pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
If RCTC’s project which precipitated this Agreement is canceled or modified so as to eliminate
the necessity of work by OWNER, RCTC will notify OWNER in writing and RCTC reserves
the right to terminate this Agreement by Amendment. The Amendment shall provide mutually
acceptable terms and conditions for terminating the Agreement.
OWNER shall submit a Notice of Completion to RCTC within 30 days of the completion of
the work described herein.
Where OWNER has prior rights in areas which will be within the highway right of way and
where OWNER’s facilities will remain on or be relocated on STATE highway right of way, a
Joint Use Agreement shall be executed by the parties.
It is understood that said highway is a Federal aid highway and accordingly, 23 CFR, Chapter
1, Part 645 is hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference; provided, however, that
the provisions of any agreements entered into between RCTC and the OWNER pursuant to
State law for apportioning the obligations and costs to be borne by each, or the use of
accounting procedures prescribed by the applicable Federal or State regulatory body and
approved by the Federal Highway Administration, shall govern in lieu of the requirements of
said 23 CFR 645.

UTILITY AGREEMENT (Cont.) Page 5 of 6
RW 13-5 (REV 6/2010)
In addition, the provisions of 23 CFR 635.410, Buy America, are also incorporated into this
agreement. The Buy America requirements are further specified in Moving Ahead for
Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), section 1518; 23 CFR 635.410 requires that all
manufacturing processes have occurred in the United States for steel and iron products
(including the application of coatings) installed on a project receiving funding from the FHWA.
OWNER understands and acknowledges that this project is subject to the requirements of the
Buy America law (23 U.S.C., Section 313) and applicable regulations, including 23 CFR
635.410 and FHWA guidance. OWNER hereby certifies that in the performance of this
Agreement, for products where Buy America requirements apply, it shall use only such
products for which it has received a certification from its supplier, or provider of construction
services that procures the product certifying Buy America compliance. This does not include
products for which waivers have been granted under 23 CFR 635.410 or other applicable
provisions or excluded material cited in the Department’s guidelines for the implementation of
Buy America requirements for utility relocations issued on December 3, 2013.
THE ESTIMATED COST TO RCTC FOR THE ABOVE DESCRIBED WORK IS

FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee
Josefina Clemente, Transit Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Amendment to Riverside Transit Agency’s Fiscal Year 2017/18 Short Range
Transit Plan
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve amendments to the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) Fiscal Year 2017/18 Short
Range Transit Plan (SRTP) that total a $0 net impact to reflect the operational service
changes on Routes 205, 49, 54F; personnel modifications; service contract provisions
affecting purchased transportation and maintenance; and other changes; and
2) Approve modification to RTA’s FY 2017/18 capital assistance program to reflect an
additional $1,641,600 in FYs 2015/16 and 2016/17 Proposition 1B California Transit
Security Grant Program (CTSGP) funds.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its July 12, 2017 meeting, the Commission approved and adopted the FY 2017/18 operating
and capital funding allocations for Riverside County based on the FY 2017/18 SRTP updates
prepared by the eight transit operators providing public transit services in the county. Since that
time, RTA made a number of service realignments and modifications, personnel changes as well
as revisions to its purchased transportation and maintenance contracts, which resulted in no net
impact to its overall FY 2017/18 operating budget. In addition, RTA received additional grant
funding related to the FYs 2015/16 and 2016/17 CTSGP funds. The modification details for RTA’s
capital and operating program are outlined below.
RTA Operating Assistance
Service Changes
• New Route 205 – added peak period service between the Interstate 15 corridor and the
Village at Orange, adding costs of $135,184 for the remainder of FY 2017/18
• Route 49 – extended the route 0.25 miles beyond the existing end to a new terminus at
Southridge Village in Fontana to allow more capacity to handle the route’s growing
ridership, increasing costs by $115,490 for the remainder of FY 2017/18
72
Agenda Item 7H
• Route 54F – increased service hours for the annual Festival of Lights shuttle to Metrolink
station, adding costs of $33,409
Salaries and Benefits
• Added three new positions for the following: Fleet Analyst, Human Resources Specialist,
and Stops & Zones Groundskeeper, adding costs of approximately $89,800
• Upgraded salaries for three positions namely: Planning & Scheduling Manager, Clerk of
the Board, and Controller, adding costs of approximately $13,130
Contract Provision and Other Service Modification
• New contract was awarded for the provision of Dial-A-Ride (DAR) service (Southland
Transit, Inc.) on February 2, 2018, which impacted the budget by an additional $825,987
for the remainder of the fiscal year
• Accelerated certain maintenance services for RTA’s compressed natural gas stations,
resulting in a cost increase of $47,000
The impact of the above changes to the operating budget is offset by:
• A $1 million reduction in other post-employment benefits (OPEB) based on the most
recent actuarial valuation prepared in accordance with the new Governmental
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 75;
• Deferral of the Fare Policy and the Transportation Network Company (TNC) Policy studies
beyond FY 2017/18, which resulted in a reduction of $235,000; and
• Anticipated cost savings of $25,000 related to the Transit Asset Management (TAM) Plan.
The table below summarized the changes to the operating budget.

Agenda Item 7H
RTA Capital Assistance
RTA’s current adopted capital budget totals $5,392,568. After the FY 2017/18 budget approval,
the agency received its share of CTSGP funds for both FYs 2015/16 and 2016/17 in the amount
of $911,925 and $729,675, respectively. These amounts are now reflected as additional capital
sources for RTA’s security and safety projects, increasing its FY 2017/18 budget from $5,392,568
to $7,034,168. A summary of the changes in capital funding is shown below.
Financial Impact
Since the net operating increases in the Local Transportation Fund (LTF), Measure A, and other
funds are offset by the reduction in Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 and
Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) funds, RTA’s adopted FY 2017/18 operating
budget will remain unchanged at $81,598,830 with no net impact on farebox recovery ratio. The
only financial impact to the Commission is the allocation of an additional $59,407 in LTF Western
County Bus Transit funds and $135,184 in 2009 Measure A Western County Public Transit funds.
The additional $33,409 for the increased service on Route 54F will be allocated to RTA directly by
Metrolink. There are sufficient LTF Western County Bus Transit funds and 2009 Measure A
Western County Public Transit funds available in the FY 2017/18 budget to cover the increased
operational costs.
RTA’s revised FY 2017/18 capital budget will increase by $1,641,600 to $7,034,168 for
FY 2017/18. Since the Proposition 1B revenues that will fund the increase in capital costs are
directly allocated to RTA by the California Office of Emergency Services, there is no fiscal impact
to the Commission.
Staff reviewed RTA’s revised plan and recommends approval of the operating and capital funding
modifications and related amendments to its FY 2017/18 SRTP.

Agenda Item 8
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 11, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee
Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: California Transportation Commission Adopted 2018 State Transportation
Improvement Program
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to receive and file the California Transportation Commission (CTC)
adopted 2018 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At the March 21-22, 2018 CTC meeting, the 2018 STIP was adopted. The adopted STIP program
of projects for Riverside County differs from what the Commission approved at its September
2017 meeting regarding the Interstate 15 Express Lanes Southern Extension project
(I-15 Southern Project) and Planning, Programming and Monitoring (PPM) funds.
The CTC is required to adopt a financially constrained STIP per year. Therefore, CTC staff strives
to accommodate each county’s programming proposals. However, if every county frontloads its
STIP or programs beyond its STIP target shares, which occurs most STIP cycles, the CTC must
adhere to the STIP guidelines to balance out the proposals in a fair and equitable manner.
Although the Commission’s submittal was within its target share CTC staff is recommending
programming the I-15 Southern Project in the last year of the STIP, which is Fiscal Year 2022/23,
to balance out programming. The Commission proposed programming the project approval &
environmental document (PA&ED) phase for the I-15 Southern Project in the first year of the
STIP. CTC staff explained since the project is new to the STIP it could not be advanced unless the
Commission delayed another project programmed in the first three years. Given the priority and
delivery schedule for the projects programmed in the early years and the significance of the
programming capacity needed for the I-15 Southern Project ($50 million), delaying other projects
to accommodate the I-15 Southern Project in the first year was not feasible.
PPM funds were also not available for programming in the first two years of the STIP. However,
the Commission was allowed to carryover funds programmed in the 2016 STIP into FY 2018/19
and program equivalent amounts approved by the Commission in FYs 2020/21 and 2021/22.

Agenda Item 8
Additionally, per discussion with Caltrans District 8 staff, it had intended for the State Route 60
Truck Climbing Lanes project to be programmed in FY 2018/19. CTC staff agreed with the change.
The table below depicts the CTC’s staff recommendation versus what the Commission approved
in September 2017.

Staff will work with the CTC to identify options that would allow the Commission to proceed with
the PA&ED phase for the I-15 Southern Project. These options would likely result in a delayed
allocation or reimbursement payments. Staff will present these options to the Commission at a
future meeting. Moving forward with the I-15 Southern Project is also contingent upon the
continuation of SB 1, as the project would be proposed to compete for future Solutions for
Congested Corridors and/or Trade Corridors Enhancement program funding cycles. The potential
repeal of SB 1 would eliminate the funding for these competitive funding programs.
There is no fiscal impact to the Commission related to the STIP funding for the non-RCTC projects,
as the STIP funds will not pass through the Commission. STIP funding for the RCTC projects will
be included in future budgets upon the CTC’s 2018 STIP adoption.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Providing funding to non-profit providers of transit services for persons with disabilities, low
income, and senior citizens has long been a priority of the Commission. The voter-approved 1989
and 2009 Measure A Expenditure Plans specify funding allocations for the provision of this type
of service provided by transit operators and non-profit agencies.
In April 2008, the Commission approved the Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services
Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan) and adopted a strategy for developing and conducting a
specialized transit call for projects program for Western County. The coordinated plan is updated
in July every 3 years to identify additional qualified populations as well as underserved areas of
Riverside County that would qualify for funding under the Specialized Transit Call for Projects.
The fourth program cycle is set to expire on June 30, 2018. In November 2017, the Commission
directed staff to develop the application and scoring criteria for the 2018 Measure A Western
81
Agenda Item 9
Riverside County Specialized Transit Call for Projects (2018 Call for Projects) and approved the
fund allocation. The applications were released to the public on November 8, 2017, with the
implementation term of three years. The due date for completed proposals was January 9, 2018,
at which time 17 eligible proposals were received from various agencies. It should be noted that
Care Connexxus did not submit a proposal by the deadline; however, the Board President of Care
Connexxus reached out to staff explaining recent management challenges and staff turnover.
With this justification, Care Connexxus submitted its proposal by January 31 bringing the total
eligible proposals received by the Commission to 18. Should the Commission approve an award
to Care Connexxus, staff will monitor and assist Care Connexxus during this award term to ensure
compliance with the specialized transit funds agreement.
The following table is a summary for the fund allocation made available by the Commission for
the 2018 Call for Projects covering FY 2018/19 to FY 2020/21:
FISCAL YEARS 2018/19-2020/21
Funding Source Fiscal Year Total
2009 Measure A 2019 $2,700,000
2009 Measure A 2020 $2,700,000
2009 Measure A 2021 $2,800,000
TOTAL $8,200,000
As in the 2015 Call for Projects, the current 2018 Call for Projects was oversubscribed by
$2,948,391 in terms of funds sought by applicants compared to funds actually available from the
Commission.
Evaluation and Scoring:
To evaluate and score the projects, staff invited the Citizen’s Advisory Committee/Social Services
Transportation Advisory Council (1 vote) to participate on the project evaluation and scoring
committee. Commission staff participated with one vote, staff from the San Bernardino County
Transportation Authority participated with one vote, and an outside consultant for the
Commission participated with one vote. Essentially, projects were evaluated by a group
consisting of participants with no vested operational interest in the proposed projects. The intent
of staff with this panel was to provide an unbiased scoring environment that would allow for the
best projects to rise to the top.
The scoring criteria used by the evaluation committee was developed from the goals and
objectives analysis that were generated during the development of the 2008 Coordinated Plan
and the 2012 and 2015 updates. The attachment outlines the results of this process identifying
awarded amounts as well as scores and rankings.
Process and Schedule:
82
Agenda Item 9
There is no financial impact on the current budget, thus, no budget action is needed nor
requested at this time. Measure A Specialized Transit funds of $8.2 million for projects approved
by the Commission will be programmed for FYs 2018/19, 2019/20, and 2020/21 through the
regular budget process.
