8. CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION ADOPTED 2018 STATE
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director, presented the California
Transportation Commission (CTC) adopted 2018 State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP), highlighting the following areas:
• 2018 STIP –
o Statewide new programming capacity - $2.198 million
o Riverside County new programming capacity - $105 million
o SB 1 contributed to new STIP capacity
• Summary of 2018 STIP submittals from regional agencies
• A map depicting the Western County and the Coachella Valley 2018 STIP projects
• Commission STIP submittals vs CTC staff recommendation
• Interstate 15 Southern Project –
o Staff will work with the CTC to identify options to proceed with the PA&ED
phase for the I-15 Southern Project prior to Fiscal Year 2022/23
o Options would likely result in proceeding with PA&ED and waiting for a
future allocation, and/or 2020 STIP
o Moving forward with the I-15 Southern Project is also contingent upon the
continuation of SB 1 and the ability to compete for construction funds
(Solutions for Congested Corridors Program and/or Trade Corridors
Enhancement Program funding cycles)
o A repeal of SB 1 would eliminate these competitive funding programs
Anne Mayer explained staff wanted to ensure the Commissioners received an update on
the CTC actions from last month, as these are very important projects in Riverside County.
She stated for the I-15 Express Lanes Southern Extension project there are options and

9. SPECIALIZED TRANSIT GRANT AWARDS FOR 2018 MEASURE A WESTERN RIVERSIDE
COUNTY SPECIALIZED TRANSIT CALL FOR PROJECTS
Monica Morales, Management Analyst, provided details for the approval of the
Specialized Transit grant awards for 2018 Measure A Western Riverside County
Specialized Transit Call for Projects.
In response to Commissioner Washington’s question as to how the amount to be awarded
to each of the applicants was determined, Monica Morales replied a couple of new
agencies received funding but most agencies are currently receiving Measure A funds.
She explained staff looked at their current call and evaluated how much more funds are
being requested, the scope of additional services, or services the agencies were looking
to provide and gauged it that way. She explained the panel review had lengthy
discussions for each applicant as far as services that will be provided and the amount
being requested.
In response to Commissioner Washington’s suggestion to have the Commission’s Chair sit
in on the review panel for the next Specialized Transit Call for Projects, Monica Morales
concurred.
John Whann, representing the Boys and Girls Club of Menifee, expressed appreciation to
have the opportunity to receive funding, as they are a first time funding agency. The Boys
and Girls Club of Menifee just opened in 2014, there are 2,000 active members with a
daily attendance of about 300 youth each day. He presented the Commission with a
“Thank You” banner that was prepared by the members.
Julie Wooduff, representing Voices for Children, the Riverside County Court Appointed
Special Advocate (CASA) agency, expressed appreciation for providing funding in the past
and requested the Commission to approve the award agreement. She explained the
volunteer mileage reimbursement program is a hallmark to this agency and it allows their
volunteers to provide individualized transportation for the kids they serve in foster care.
In response to Commissioner Kathleen Kelly’s inquiry about the relationship between the
scores and the percentage of the request, which was granted, Monica Morales replied for
Riverside County Transportation Commission Minutes
April 11, 2018
Page 7
this call for projects staff did not say if the agency got a score of 90 percent then that
agency would be funded 100 percent since the Commission was so oversubscribed. She
explained the agencies with the higher score estimate to what extent the Commission
could provide that agency as much funding as possible without saying the lower scored
agencies did not receive any funding. There was no additional funding that staff took into
account as Measure A is the only funding source outside of their match dollars.
Anne Mayer explained this is the issue staff is dealing with and when Monica Morales
mentioned for the next round of call for projects staff needs to look at performance
requirements or other evaluation possibilities. She explained it is easier on other calls for
projects to draw a line below a certain score either above the line that agency receives
funding if that agency is below the line they do not receive funding. She expressed this
Specialized Transit Call for Projects is very difficult to do that, as there is so much need
out in these communities and there were many more new applicants. Anne Mayer stated
this will be a challenge for the Commission in the next call for project cycle as to what
guiding principles and policies the Commission recommends as these programs are being
evaluated.
At this time, Commissioner Adam Rush joined the meeting.
Commissioner Neil Winter explained for the next call for projects cycle it is a good idea to
consider all the agencies and their merit. Commissioner Winter stated as the Commission
goes through the process of redefining how this is done, which he prefers this process, it
just needs to be buttoned up so it is more understandable.

PUBLIC HEARING
Agenda Item 6
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 9, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM:
Budget and Implementation Committee
Michele Cisneros, Deputy Director of Finance
Theresia Trevino, Chief Financial Officer
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 2018/19
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Discuss, review, and provide guidance on the proposed Fiscal Year 2018/19 Budget; and
2) Open the public hearing in order to receive input and comments on the proposed FY 2018/19
Budget on May 9 and on June 13, 2018, and thereafter close the public hearing.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Staff completed the initial budget preparation process and the attached executive summary for the
proposed FY 2018/19 Budget. The policy goals and objectives approved by the Commission on
March 14 were the basis of this budget. The long-term policy goals that support the Commission’s
objectives considered during the preparation of the budget relate to promoting quality of life;
achieving operational excellence; connecting the economy; being a responsible partner; and
maintaining fiscal accountability.
Staff will present highlights of significant items included in the budget and is seeking review of and
input on the proposed FY 2018/19 Budget. Additionally staff recommends the opening of the public
hearing on May 9. As a result of input received from the public and the Commission, staff will make
the necessary changes to the budget document for the Commission’s final review, closing of the public
hearing, and adoption at its June 13 Commission meeting.
The Commission’s budget is primarily project-driven, although the RCTC 91 Express Lanes added a
service-driven component upon the commencement of toll operations. As a project-driven agency,
the Commission accumulates funds, or reserves, for specific projects and programs — resulting in
flexibility to adjust project development or programs especially in times of economic downturns. The
proposed FY 2018/19 Budget anticipates that total uses will exceed total sources by approximately
$178.6 million. Similar to prior years, the accumulated reserves, which include bond proceeds issued
in FY 2017/18, will fund the deficiency. In the executive summary, Table 16 provides a summary of
1
Agenda Item 6
the projected fund balances at June 30, 2019 and Tables 17-19 provide a summary of budgeted
sources and uses from different perspectives (comparative, operating and capital, and fund).
Staff presented the proposed budget to the Budget and Implementation Committee on April 23.
Subsequent to that presentation, staff updated the executive summary as a result of the following
changes resulting in a net decrease of $33,353,300 to the $644,155,400 projected fund balance at
June 30, 2019, initially reported at the April Budget and Implementation Committee meeting.
Adjustments to Fiscal Year 2017/18 Projected Amounts
• A $1,236,800 increase in federal reimbursements for funding of rail station improvements;
• A $7,879,700 decrease in state reimbursements based on allowable SB 132 expenditures;
• A $247,900 increase in professional services and support costs related to legal services for
SB 132 projects and insurance costs; and
• A $186,300 decrease in capital outlay due to delay in financial software implementation.
Adjustments to Fiscal Year 2018/19 Budgeted Amounts
• A $5,332,400 increase in federal revenues for funding of rail station improvements;
• A $31,260,300 net decrease in state reimbursements based on allowable SB 132 expenditures
offset by an increase in Low Carbon Transit Operations Program funding of Perris Valley Line
operations;
• A $237,500 decrease in other revenues;
• A $158,400 decrease in investment income as a result of the decrease in fund balance;
• A $5,000 increase in professional services related to legal services for SB 132 projects;
• A $320,000 increase in engineering expenditures for an SB 132 project; and
• A $3,000,000 increase in operating transfers to fund the debt service reserve fund required in
connection with the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loan for the
Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project.
Preliminary funding estimates for transit operating and capital expenditures have been included in
the budget, although the draft Short Range Transit Plans are still under review. An adjustment for a
revised estimate of these transit expenditures may be included in the final budget document
presented in June 2018.

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

Sales tax revenues have continued to remain stable during the last five fiscal years. The
Commission’s economic outlook for FY 2017/18 continues to be cautiously optimistic; however, the
state and federal budget issues continue to affect funding of the Commission’s capital projects
and programs. Should Measure A and LTF sales tax revenues fluctuate and the availability of
federal and state revenues continue to be uncertain, the timing and scope of the Commission’s
projects and programs may be impacted.
Regardless of the future economic conditions, the Commission faces formidable ongoing
challenges in terms of providing needed infrastructure enhancements to support a population and
an economy that has outgrown the capacity of its existing infrastructure. Fortunately, the
foundation of the regional economy continues to retain many of the fundamental positive
attributes that fueled its earlier growth, including lower priced real estate with proximity to coastal
communities, a large pool of skilled workers, and increasing wealth and education levels.

While the Commission’s primary revenues are the Measure A and LTF sales taxes, other revenues
and financing sources are required to fund the Commission’s programs and projects as illustrated in
Chart 2.

The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), as statutorily created and
authorized successor to the former California State Board of Equalization, recently provided to
cities and other agencies its projections that statewide taxable sales over the next fiscal year will
increase 3.8%. Continuing its conservative projection practices, the Commission considers short-
and long-term sales tax projections from its consultants to estimate sales tax revenues. After taking
the state of the local economy and recent revenue trends into consideration, staff projects
Measure A sales tax revenues of $187,000,000 for FY 2018/19. This is a 3% increase from the FY
2017/18 revised projection of $181,000,000. At midyear the Commission will reassess sales tax
revenue projections based on the economy and revenue trends.
On behalf of the County, the Commission administers the LTF for public transportation needs, local
streets and roads, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The majority of LTF funding received by the
County and available for allocation is distributed to all public transit operators in the County, and
the Commission receives allocations for administration, planning, and programming in addition to
funding for Western County rail operations included in the commuter rail Short Range Transit Plan
(SRTP). The LTF sales tax revenue received from the State is budgeted at $94,000,000, an increase
of 3% from the FY 2017/18 revised projection of $91,000,000.
A statewide sales tax on motor vehicle fuel generates STA funds, which the State Controller
allocates by formula to the Commission for allocations to the County’s public transit operators. The
FY 2018/19 STA transit allocation, based on recent State estimates, is $23,203,600.

Intergovernmental revenues include reimbursement revenues from federal sources of $59,105,700,
state sources of $165,442,400, and local agencies of $24,037,900 for highway and rail capital
projects, rail operations and station maintenance, commuter assistance, and motorist assistance
programs as well as planning and programming activities. The significant increase of 144% in FY
2018/19 compared to the FY 2017/18 budget is related to increases in state and local
reimbursements offset by a decrease in federal reimbursements. Senate Bill (SB) 132 provides state
funding for the 15/91 Express Lanes connector and pass-through funding to the County for the I-
15/Limonite interchange and to the County and city of Corona for grade separation projects.
Local reimbursements from the Riverside County Regional Park and Open Space District (District)
fund the Santa Ana River Trail projects. Reimbursement revenues vary from year to year
depending on project activities and funding levels.
Based on an amended Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Western Riverside Council
of Governments (WRCOG), the Commission receives 45.7% of Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee
(TUMF) revenues (as updated by the most recent Nexus study). TUMF represents fees assessed on
new residential and commercial development in Western County. The Commission projects FY
2018/19 TUMF fees will remain flat at $21,000,000 and expects additional TUMF zone reimbursements
of $1,922,200 for the Lake Elsinore Railroad Canyon project.
FY 2017/18 marked the first complete fiscal year of toll operations for the RCTC 91 Express Lanes
following substantial completion of the 91 Project in March 2017. The Commission estimates FY
2018/19 toll revenues of $36,940,500 based on 2013 financing assumptions, including the Riverside
County 91 Express Lanes Extension Investment Grade Traffic and Revenue Study completed in
2012.
Other revenue of $539,000 includes property management generated from properties acquired in
connection with various highway and rail properties.
The Commission anticipates a 3% decrease in FY 2018/19 investment income compared to the FY
2017/18 budget as the result of decreasing cash and investments balances.
Transfers in of $181,899,300 relate primarily to the transfer of available debt proceeds for highway
projects; LTF funding for general administration, planning and programming, rail operations and
station maintenance, and grade separation project allocations; approved interfund allocations for
specific projects and administrative cost allocations; and debt service requirements from highway,
regional arterial, and local streets and roads funds. Debt proceeds consist of $106,081,000 in
drawdowns from the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan
related to the I-15 Express Lanes project.
Total uses (Table 3), including transfers out of $181,899,300, are budgeted at $1,083,228,700, a 35%
decrease from the prior year budget amount of $1,670,674,300. Program expenditures and
transfers out totaling $963,301,400 represent 89% of total budgeted uses in FY 2018/19. Program
costs decreased by 2% from $980,602,200 in FY 2017/18 due to projects identified below.

Commission Personnel
The Commission’s salaries and benefits total $10,354,700 for FY 2018/19. This represents an increase
of $800,500 or 8% over the FY 2017/18 budget of $9,554,200 (Chart 4). The increase relates to one
additional full-time equivalent (FTE), an increase to the Commission’s contribution to employee
health benefits, and a 4% pool for merit-based salary increases. The FY 2018/19 budget includes
two new capital project managers using one available FTE for a net increase of one FTE. The
Commission’s salary schedule for FY 2018/19 is included in Appendix B and complies with
Government Code §20636 “Compensation Earnable” and California Code of Register §570.5,
“Requirements for a Publicly Available Pay Schedule.”

The FY 2018/19 full-time equivalents (FTE) of 51 positions is comparable to the FY 2017/18 level
(Table 4) and reflects a net 1.0 FTE increase related to the recruitment of two capital project
managers. The Commission accomplished significant organization changes, including the addition
of toll operations, over the past few years related to various projects requiring substantial attention
at many staff levels. Management continues to be firmly committed to the intent of the
Commission’s enabling legislation requiring a lean organization. The Commission will continue
providing staff the tools needed to ensure an efficient and productive work environment.
However, small should not be viewed in an absolute context; it is relative to the required tasks and
the demands to be met.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 9, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee
Gary Ratliff, Facilities Administrator
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolution No. 18-005 for California Office of Emergency
Services Disaster Financial Assistance
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to adopt Resolution No. 18-005, “Resolution of the Riverside
County Transportation Commission Designating Commission Agents to Act on Behalf of the
Commission for the Execution of Assurances and Agreements with the California Governor’s
Office of Emergency Services Pertaining to State Disaster Financial Assistance”.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In January 2017, several winter storms rolled through the Inland Empire impacting roads, lands,
and facilities owned and operated by various public agencies. The January storms impacted the
Commission’s new Perris Valley Line station at Perris—South. Flooding caused the washing
away of irrigation lines and plant material, blocked the entrances and exits of the station,
displaced native material, and required reestablishment of drains and drainage flows within
and around station grounds. Following the storms, the Governor of California declared a state
of emergency that included the county of Riverside area.
Staff immediately addressed the repair needs during and after the storms. Once the state of
emergency was declared, staff applied for eligible grant funds related to storm damage. Over
the last year, California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) has reviewed the Commission’s
application, made field visits to inspect the area, and approved a reimbursement grant to the
Commission in the amount of $73,587 for the restitution of the storm damage to Perris—South
station.
As required by the Federal Aid and CalOES guidelines, staff recommends the approval of
Resolution No. 18-005, authorizing the Executive Director, the Deputy Executive Director or the
Facilities Administrator to act as the representative on behalf of the Commission with regard to
CalOES and reimbursement funds. CalOES requires a resolution before payment can be
released.
25
Agenda Item 8B
Resolution No. 18-005 is a universal resolution, and applies to the specific disaster described
above, and to all open and future disasters for up to three years following the date of approval
of the Resolution.

AGENDA ITEM 8C
Agenda Item 8C
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 9, 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) AB 3027 (Chávez) – Support.
DISCUSSION:
State Update
The second year of the California Legislature’s regular session is well under way. Staff continues
to flag and research bills that align with the Commission’s adopted 2018 State and Federal
Legislative Platform as well as monitor bills the Commission has taken positions on. The status
of these bills as of the date this report was printed are detailed in the attached Legislative Matrix.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) released its approved list of SB 1-funded
State Transit Assistance State of Good Repair (STA SGR) projects. Staff submitted the Riverside
County list to Caltrans by the January 30, 2018 deadline, following Commission approval at the
January 26, 2018 Commission meeting. STA SGR funding for Riverside County in
Fiscal Year 2017/18 amounts to $3,696,930 in new transit funding. The list of approved projects
is found in Attachment 2.
Funding recommendations for several SB 1 programs are scheduled for public release on
April 25, after the deadline for this report. The Commission has applied for SB 1 grants for several
projects; Commissioners will be updated with the funding recommendations as they are known.
Staff proposes the Commission adopt an official position on one bill this month:

Agenda Item 8C
AB 3027 (Chávez) – Staff Recommendation: SUPPORT
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the lead agency (such as RCTC) on a
project is required to prepare, certify, and complete an environmental impact report or adopt a
negative declaration if the project will not result in an environmental impact. Existing law allows
parties to challenge the lead agency if it is believed the lead agency is not complying with CEQA.
In certain cases, the court may award attorney’s fees to a prevailing party. AB 3027 specifies that
attorney’s fees may be awarded only to a prevailing plaintiff or petitioner that is a homeowner,
property owner, or business owner located within a specified mailing radius established by law
or by the lead agency, or a nonprofit organization formed to protect the environment and whose
membership exceeds 50,000.
Staff believes AB 3027 has the potential to protect the Commission from unnecessarily paying
attorney’s fees to parties not truly affected by the agency’s projects and that initiate or join in on
suits brought against the Commission’s projects. Staff is recommending the Commission support
AB 3027, which is aligned with a principle in the Commission’s 2018 State and Federal Legislative
Platform:
1. Project Delivery Streamlining – Support efforts to modernize the CEQA.
At the Commission’s Budget and Implementation Committee meeting on April 23, 2018, there
was a discussion on this bill and concerns were voiced about the potential for AB 3027 to
negatively impact individuals’ and small business owners’ financial ability to pursue litigation.
The Committee voted 8-2 to support AB 3027. The bill language is found in Attachment 3.
Federal Update
One Federal Decision
In August 2017, President Trump issued Executive Order (EO) 13807 for “Establishing Discipline
and Accountability in the Environmental Review and Permitting Process for Infrastructure
Projects.” The following month, the Council on Environmental Quality published a notice in the
Federal Register announcing actions it would take to fulfill the President’s EO. On April 9, 2018,
the One Federal Decision Memorandum of Understanding was signed by 12 federal agencies
which commits them to a coordinated and timely process for environmental reviews on major
infrastructure projects. One federal agency will be designated as the lead on each major project
and will carry the project through the environmental review and permitting process with the
ultimate goal of completing the process within two years.
The Commission has supported a more streamlined approach to The National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA), as reflected in the 2018 State and Federal Legislative Platform: “Support
implementation of FAST Act reforms to accelerate project delivery including, but not limited to,
the creation of a single NEPA document for all federal agencies; NEPA reciprocity; expediting and
improving the federal permitting review process; and narrowing concurrence requirements.”

Agenda Item 8C
Grant Opportunities
The United States Department of Transportation (US DOT) recently released two Notices of
Funding Opportunities for competitive grant funding available to local, regional, and state
agencies. The first is for the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management
Technologies Deployment Program (ATCMTD). Sixty million dollars is available in this program
to fund new technologies that improve transportation efficiency and safety. The second is for
the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) (previously known as the
TIGER program). As the result of the omnibus bill passed in March 2018, funding in FY 2017/18
for the BUILD program is triple ($1.5 billion) what it has been in recent years. Funding from the
BUILD program is focused on investments in surface transportation infrastructure.
Local jurisdictions interested in learning more about these grant programs are encouraged to
visit DOT.gov to review program materials and learn of possible webinars and guidance to assist
in preparing applications. Commission staff are also available to discuss these grant
opportunities.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 3027
Introduced by Assembly Member Chávez

An act to add Section 21177.8 to the Public Resources Code, relating
to environmental quality.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 3027, as amended, Chávez. California Environmental Quality
Act: attorney’s fees.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead
agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the
completion of an environmental impact report on a project that it
proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant impact on
the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the
project will not have that impact. CEQA establishes procedures by
which certain parties may file an action or proceeding challenging the
lead agency’s action on the ground of noncompliance with CEQA.
Existing law authorizes the court, upon the motion of a party, to award
attorney’s fees to a prevailing party in an action that has resulted in the
enforcement of an important right affecting the public interest if 3
specified conditions are met.
This bill would, for a prevailing party that is a plaintiff or petitioner
in an action or proceeding under CEQA, limit the awarding of attorney’s
fees to certain persons or entities.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 9, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee
Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Budget Adjustment for SB 132 Projects – Jurupa Road Grade Separation,
Hamner Avenue Bridge, and Interstate 15/Limonite Avenue Interchange
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to approve an adjustment to the Fiscal Year 2017/18 budget of
$1 million to increase SB 132 revenues and expenditures for the Jurupa Road Grade Separation,
Hamner Avenue Bridge, and Interstate 15/Limonite Avenue Interchange projects.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
SB 132 provides funding for five projects in Western Riverside County. At its November and
December 2017 meetings, the Commission approved agreements with the County of Riverside
(County) and cities of Norco, Jurupa Valley, and Eastvale for the Jurupa Road Grade Separation,
Hamner Avenue Bridge, and I-15/Limonite Interchange projects. The County is the lead agency
for these three projects. Initially staff anticipated expenditures would commence in FY 2018/19;
however, the County is seeking reimbursement for FY 2017/18 expenditures for the Project
Approval & Environmental Document phase for the Jurupa Road Grade Separation and Hamner
Avenue Bridge projects and the construction phase for the I-15/Limonite Interchange.
In order to pay current fiscal year invoices, a budget adjustment is necessary for the following
project expenditures:
Project FY 2017/18 Expenditures
Jurupa Road Grade Separation $ 450,000
Hamner Avenue Bridge 150,000
I-15/Limonite Interchange 400,000
Total $ 1,000,000
Staff recommends the approval of a budget adjustment totaling $1,000,000 to be reimbursed
with SB 132 funds.
The Commission executed a master agreement with Caltrans to streamline the processing of
payments for the SB 132 projects through the Commission and Caltrans. As a result, the lead
39
Agenda Item 8D
agency for each SB 132 project will submit invoices to the Commission for review, approval, and
payment; the Commission will advance payment to the lead agency using available unrestricted
Commission cash and investments. Commission staff will then submit lead agency invoices to
Caltrans for SB 132 reimbursement as repayment for the advance.

TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Funding Increase for Temecula Park &
Ride Facility
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to approve Agreement No. 14-72-135-01, Amendment No. 1 to
Agreement No. 14-72-135-00, with the city of Temecula to increase Congestion Mitigation and
Air Quality (CMAQ) funds from $1,300,750 to $1,908,031 to construct the park & ride facility at
La Paz Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In January 2014, the city of Temecula received approval of $1,300,750 in CMAQ funding through
the Commission’s Multi-funding Call for Projects for a park & ride facility at La Paz Street (Project).
The city obligated the CMAQ funds in December 2015 and commenced work in 2016; however,
the city suspended the project due to a dispute with the contractor. The project was re-bid and
the low bid was considerably higher due to rising construction costs as a result of the improved
economy.
CMAQ projects undergo an air quality analysis to demonstrate emissions reductions. Under the
Environmental Protection Agency’s Transportation Conformity Rule, CMAQ projects are
identified as Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) in the Federal Transportation
Improvement Program (FTIP). TCMs have a different status than non-TCMs in that they must be
implemented as the emissions reductions are captured in the transportation demand model. If
a TCM cannot be implemented, a substitute project(s) within the same general vicinity that
generates an equivalent or more emissions reductions must be implemented in its place.
Due to circumstances beyond the city’s control and the need to implement this TCM to ensure
the Southern California Association of Government’s air quality conformity determination for the
FTIP, staff recommends approving an additional $607,281 in CMAQ funds to complete the
Project. The city is also committing local funds for the Project in the amount of $653,369. The
attached draft amendment to Agreement 14-72-135-00 will reflect the revised funding.
41
Agenda Item 8E
CMAQ funds are administered through Caltrans and Federal Highway Administration. Therefore,
there is no impact to the Commission’s budget.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
FEDERAL FUNDING COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF TEMECULA
FOR RCTC’S 2013 MULTI-FUNDING CALL FOR PROJECT
1. PARTIES AND DATE
This Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 14-72-135-00 (“Amendment No. 1”) is made
and entered into as of this ______ day of __________, 2018, by and between
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION (“RCTC”) and the CITY
OF TEMECULA (“Agency”).
2. RECITALS
2.1 RCTC and Agency entered into that certain “Riverside County
Transportation Commission Federal Funding Cooperative Agreement With
the City of Temecula for RCTC’s 2013 Multi-Funding Call for Project” dated
July 7, 2014 (“Master Agreement”). The Master Agreement provides the
terms and conditions, scope of work, schedule and funding amount for the
construction of a 157-space park-and-ride facility at Temecula Parkway at
La Paz Street (“Project”). The Project is more specifically described in
Exhibit “A” of the Master Agreement.
2.2 On January 8, 2014, RCTC’s Board of Directors approved RCTC’s
programming of up to One Million Three Hundred Thousand Seven
Hundred Fifty Dollars ($1,300,750) in Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
Improvement Program (“CMAQ”) funds for the Project, to be matched with
Six Hundred Ninety-Eight Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($698,250)
in Agency funds for the Project. The Agency obligated the federal funds in
December 2015 and awarded a contract for the Project in February 2016,
but work on the Project was suspended in September 2016 due to a dispute

SUBJECT:
Amendment to the I-15 Express Lanes Project Design-Build Services
Agreement with Skanska-Ames, a Joint Venture, for the 15/91 Express Lanes
Connector Project
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 16-31-057-00 for the I-15 Express Lanes
Project (I-15 ELP) with Skanska-Ames, a Joint Venture, (Skanska-Ames) to perform
preliminary engineering design and geotechnical work in support of the
Interstate 15/State Route 91 Express Lanes Connector Project (15/91 ELC) in the amount
of $4,718,800, plus a contingency amount of $471,200, for a total amount of $5,190,000;
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the 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 $1.5 million to the Fiscal Year 2017/18 budget to increase state
revenues and design builder expenditures.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In April 2017 Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 132, which appropriated $427 million to the
Riverside County Transportation Efficiency Corridor for five projects. SB 132 allocated
$180 million to the 15/91 ELC. 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).
47
Agenda Item 8F
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 the 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 Express Lanes
Project contracts with engineering companies, contractors, toll vendors, legal, and financial
advisors.
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 $243.9 million, 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 an
amendment to the I-15 ELP Design-Build Contract to perform the following work needed for
implementation of the 15/91 ELC:
• Project management and coordination activities
• Complete geotechnical field work and reports
• 35 percent design for all structures and roadway
• 95 percent design for the East End Extension
This effort is in advance of the planned overall design-build services amendment with Skanska-
Ames to develop preliminary engineering work to form the basis for quantity take-offs and
48
Agenda Item 8F
estimates for final design and construction of the 15/91 ELC. This effort also includes further
advancement of the design for the east end extension (see Attachment 1) targeting an earlier
benefit for Eastbound SR-91 express and general-purpose lane traffic near I-15. Staff has
negotiated Amendment No. 2 (see Attachment 2) in the amount of $4,718,800 for this effort.
The table below summarizes the status of 15/91 ELC related change orders and amendments to
the Skanska-Ames contract.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 to amend the design-build contract between
the Commission and Skanska-Ames in the amount of $4,718,800, plus a contingency amount of
$471,200, for a total amount of $5.19 million. Further, authorization is requested for the Chair
or Executive Director to execute the 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 $1.5 million
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.

SUBJECT:
Change Order to Amend the I-15 Express Lanes Project Design-Build Contract
with Skanska-Ames, a Joint Venture, for the Fiber Optic Communication
Network Connection to the Regional Operations Center
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Approve Change Order No. 7 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 design
and construct the fiber optic communication network connection between the
I-15 Express Lanes and the I-15 Express Lanes Regional Operations Center (ROC) in the
amount of $421,065, plus a contingency amount of $42,000, for a total amount not to
exceed $463,065;
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
not to exceed amount as required for the project; and
4) Approve an adjustment of $100,000 to the Fiscal Year 2017/18 budget to increase design-
builder expenditures.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its November 2016 meeting, the Commission authorized the Executive Director to submit
purchase offers, negotiate, and execute a purchase contract for 291 Corporate Terrace Circle, in
Corona, CA on behalf of the Commission for use as the future I-15 Express Lanes ROC.
At its April 2017 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.
106
Agenda Item 8G
DISCUSSION:
The I-15 Express Lanes require a fiber optic communication network between all of the tolling
points within the express lanes limits along with a connection to the ROC in order to operate the
toll collection system. At the time of the I-15 ELP design-build procurement, the location of the
ROC had not yet been finalized and the scope of the fiber optic communication network
connection between the I-15 Express Lanes and the ROC could not be quantified. As such, the
connection of the fiber optic network to the ROC was deferred from the overall I-15 ELP
design-build fiber optic network scope until the ROC location could be finalized. At such time,
staff would enter into negotiations with Skanska-Ames to incorporate this remaining fiber optic
network connection scope into the I-15 ELP design-build contract.
As authorized at the November 2016 Commission meeting, staff submitted a purchase offer and
executed a purchase contract for 291 Corporate Terrace Circle in Corona, CA to serve as the ROC
facility for the I-15 Express Lanes. The purchase of this property was finalized on April 26, 2017.
With the purchase of the property, staff was able to quantify the scope of the fiber optic
communication network connection between the I-15 Express Lanes and the ROC (Figure 1
Vicinity Map). Staff entered into negotiations with Skanska-Ames for the additional work scope
and reached a tentative agreement through contract Change Order No. 7 (Attachment 1) for a
total lump sum amount of $421,065.
Since the fiber optic network connection to the ROC was always anticipated as part of the
I-15 ELP scope, staff included this expenditure in the overall project cost estimate as part of
project financing activities completed in July 2017. As the cost of this scope has now been
finalized, staff is seeking approval to include the expenditure in both the contract and FY 2017/18
budget. Approval of contract Change Order No. 7 results in a revised contract authorization of
$263,875,065.
107
Agenda Item 8G
Figure 1: I-15 Express Lanes Communication Network Connection to ROC Vicinity Map
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Change Order No. 7 to amend the design-build contract between
the Commission and Skanska-Ames in the amount of $421,065, plus a contingency amount of
$42,000 for a total amount not to exceed of $463,065. Further, authorization is requested for
the Chair or Executive Director to execute the change order amendment on behalf of the
Commission. Finally, staff recommends approval of an adjustment of $100,000 to the FY 2017/18
budget to increase design-builder expenditures, as the expense for this work scope was not
included in the FY 2017/18 budget.

FROM: Budget and Implementation Committee
Sheldon Peterson, Rail Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Commuter Rail Grant Resolution
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to adopt Resolution No. 18-006, “Resolution of the Riverside
County Transportation Commission Regarding Authorization for the Execution of the
Certifications and Assurances and Authorized Agent Forms for the Low Carbon Transit Operations
Program for the Perris Valley Line FY 2018/19 Operations Project in the Amount of $861,106”.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Commission’s Commuter Rail Program applies for various federal and state funds that are
necessary to fund rail projects within Riverside County. There is also the need for grants to meet
the Commission’s annual funding responsibility related to rail operations and capital passenger
projects. The Commuter Rail Program is currently seeking approval to obtain grant funding which
is available through the California Department of Transportation Low Carbon Transit Operations
Program (LCTOP).
• Funding in the amount of $861,106 in LCTOP funds is available for Perris Valley Line (PVL)
rail operations.
Projects eligible for this funding need to reduce GHG emissions and support transit agencies in
their effort to increase mode share. The Rail Program is seeking operation funding for the newly
extended PVL commuter rail service. Funding for this grant is formula based. The application is a
combination of funding allocated to Western County rail in the amount of $857,421 and $3,685
contributed by the city of Riverside. The city of Riverside is listed as the Contributing Sponsor on
the attached resolution and has provided the Commission with supporting documentation for
the use of these funds.
As required by the LCTOP grant guidelines, Resolution No. 18-006 is needed to authorize use of
the funds on PVL Operations and authorize the Executive Director to execute the Certifications
and Assurances and Authorized Agent forms. The resolution is required to submit and file the
grant; therefore, staff recommends approval of the resolution related to the FY 2017/18 LCTOP
grant.

SUBJECT: Agreements for Freeway Service Patrol Tow Truck Service
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Award Agreement No. 18-45-131-00 to Coastal Pride Towing, Inc. for Freeway Service
Patrol (FSP) tow truck services on State Route 91 Beat Nos. 1 and 2 for a three-year term,
and one, two-year option to extend the agreement, in an amount of $3,382,442, plus a
contingency amount of $169,122, for a total amount not to exceed $3,551,564;
2) Award Agreement No. 18-45-132-00 to Coastal Pride Towing, Inc. for FSP tow truck
services on Interstate 215 Beat 20 and Interstate 15 Beat Nos. 34 and 35 for a three-year
term, and one, two-year option to extend the agreement, in an amount of $2,464,956,
plus a contingency amount of $123,248, for a total amount not to exceed $2,588,204;
3) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the agreements, including option years, on behalf of the Commission; and
4) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to approve the use of the contingency
amount as may be required for these services.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 1986, the Commission established itself as the Riverside County Service Authority for Freeway
Emergencies (RC SAFE) after the enactment of SB 1199 in 1985. The purpose of the formation of
SAFEs in California was to provide call box services and, with excess funds, provide additional
motorist aid services. Funding for RC SAFE is derived from a one dollar per vehicle registration
fee on vehicles registered in Riverside County. Initially, these funds were used only for the call
box program. As additional motorist aid services were developed, SAFE funds were also used to
provide FSP and the Inland Empire 511 traveler information services as part of a comprehensive
motorist aid system in Riverside County.
In 1990, Proposition C was passed to fund transportation improvements and to help reduce
traffic congestion in California. From this, the FSP program was created by Caltrans, which
developed the corresponding Local Funding Allocation Plan to distribute funds to participating
117
Agenda Item 8I
jurisdictions. In addition to funding received from Caltrans, agencies are required to contribute
a 25 percent local match. For the Commission, SAFE revenues are used to meet this match
requirement.
The Commission, acting in its capacity as the SAFE, is the principal agency in Riverside County, in
partnership with Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol (CHP), managing the FSP program.
The purpose of the FSP program is to provide a continuously roving tow services patrol along
designated freeway segments (referred to as beats) to relieve freeway congestion and facilitate
the rapid removal of disabled vehicles and those involved in minor accidents on local freeways.
Contracts to provide FSP tow service are competitively bid as needed for each beat. Currently,
the Commission contracts with three tow truck operators to provide service on a total of nine
beats Monday through Friday during the peak commute hours, 5:30 a.m. to
8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. (12:30 p.m. on Fridays) to 6:30 p.m. In Fiscal Year 2016/17, FSP
performed nearly 40,180 assists.
DISCUSSION:
Staff sought a competitive solution to award tow service contracts to qualified firms for five beats
including three new beats on I-215 and I-15 expanding FSP service into southern Riverside
County.
Beat No. Beat No. Description Number of Tow Trucks
1 SR-91 Orange County line to Lincoln Avenue 2 (+1 backup truck)
2 SR-91 Lincoln Avenue to Magnolia Avenue 2 (+1 backup truck)
20 I-215 Ethanac Road to Murrieta Hot Springs 2 (+1 backup truck)
34 I-15 Indian Truck Trail to Bundy Canyon Road 2 (+1 backup truck)
35 I-15 Bundy Canyon Road to Temecula Parkway/79S 2 (+1 backup truck)
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 FSP tow truck services
on State Route 91 Beat Nos. 1 and 2, Interstate 215 Beat 20, and Interstate 15 Beat Nos. 34 and
35, as set forth under the terms of the request for proposals (RFP) No. 18-45-063-00.
RFP No. 18-45-063-00 was released on January 18, 2018. 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 27 firms,
12 of which are located in Riverside County. Additionally, the Commission sent out 122 postcards
to firms who have previously expressed interest in tow truck services and/or are on the current
California Highway Patrol (CHP) rotational tow list. Of the 122, 35 are located in Riverside County.
118
Agenda Item 8I
Through the PlanetBids site, 9 firms downloaded the RFP; 2 of these firms are located in Riverside
County. A pre-proposal conference was held on February 1, 2018, and was attended by 2 firms;
1 firm was local to Riverside County. Staff responded to all questions submitted by potential
proposers prior to the February 8, 2018 clarification deadline date. Two firms – Coastal Pride
Towing, Inc. (San Diego) and Quality Roadside Service, Inc. (Riverside) – submitted proposals prior
to the 2:00 p.m. submittal deadline on March 1, 2018. Coastal Pride Towing, Inc. submitted
proposals for all five beats; whereas Quality Roadside Service, Inc. only submitted a proposal for
Beat 2. All proposals submitted were responsive and responsible proposals.
Since staff received one proposal for four of the five beats, it reviewed the solicitation
specifications for undue restrictiveness and surveyed potential firms that chose not to submit a
proposal. Reasons for not submitting a proposal included increased costs in insurance, minimum
wage, and fleet maintenance. Additionally, there was a concern among potential firms of making
a large investment into new tow trucks. Staff concluded that 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 all four beats.
An evaluation committee comprised of the CHP Inland Division, San Bernardino County
Transportation Authority, and Commission staff evaluated each proposal in accordance with the
evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP. On March 21, 2018, the evaluation committee visited
both firms’ tow yard sites and conducted interviews of key personnel. Accordingly, the
evaluation committee provided final scoring based on a comprehensive evaluation of each
written proposal and interview. Based on the evaluation committee’s assessment, the evaluation
committee determined Coastal Pride Towing, Inc. to be the most qualified firm to perform the
work outlined in the scope of services for all five beats.
As a result of the evaluation committee’s assessment of the written proposals and interviews,
the evaluation committee recommends contract award for FSP tow truck services for State Route
91 Beat Nos. 1 and 2 to Coastal Pride Towing, Inc. for a three-year term, and one, two-year option

126
17336.0002A\9580036. 3 APPENDIX B - 7
termination may be for SAFE’s convenience, due to lack of available funding for the Services,
or because of CONTRACTOR's failure to perform its duties and obligations under this
Contract, including, but not limited to, the failure of CONTRACTOR to timely perform Services
pursuant to the Scope of Services described in Section 3, entitled “Terms,” as well as Section
7 of the RFP. CONTRACTOR may not terminate this Contract except for cause.

whether completed or in progress.
3.15.3 Effect of Termination For Convenience. If the termination is to be
for the convenience of SAFE, SAFE shall compensate CONTRACTOR for Services fully and
adequately provided through the effective date of termination as provided in the Notice of
Termination. Such payment shall include a pro-rated amount of profit, if applicable, up
through such effective date, but no amount shall be paid for anticipated profit on unperformed
Services past such effective date. CONTRACTOR shall provide documentation deemed
adequate by SAFE's Representative to show the Services actually completed by
CONTRACTOR prior to the effective date of termination. This Contract shall terminate on the

3.15.4 Effect of Termination for Cause. If the termination is for cause,
CONTRACTOR shall be compensated for those Services which have been fully and
adequately completed and accepted by SAFE as of the effective date of termination as

prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise. Further, CONTRACTOR shall be
liable to SAFE for any reasonable additional costs or damages incurred to revise work for
which SAFE has compensated CONTRACTOR under this Contract, but which SAFE has
determined in its sole discretion needs to be revised, in part or whole. Termination of this
Contract for cause may be considered by SAFE in determining whether to enter into future

under this Contract.

that the Services may be terminated, in whole or in part, as provided in this Section.

Services, relevant cost issues, and future objectives. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for
having a representative attend all meetings (i.e. FSP TAC meetings) that has the ability to
make management-level decisions on the behalf of the CONTRACTOR. If the

administering those various contracts. All of the above referenced parties shall make such

and subsistence expenses claimed for reimbursement or applied as local match credit shall

difference and any overpayments shall be reimbursed to SAFE on demand.
3.17.12 Employment Adverse to the SAFE. CONTRACTOR shall notify
SAFE, and shall obtain SAFE’s written consent, prior to accepting work to assist with or
participate in a third-party lawsuit or other legal or administrative proceeding against SAFE
during the term of this Contract.
3.17.13 Extra Work. At any time during the term of this Contract, SAFE
may request CONTRACTOR to perform Extra Work. “Extra Work” shall mean any work which
is determined by SAFE to be necessary for proper completion of the Services, but which the
Parties did not reasonably anticipate would be necessary at the time of the execution of this
Contract and was not included in the Scope of Services. Extra Work, if any, shall be
reimbursed at the same hourly rate as identified in Section 3.17.3. CONTRACTOR shall not
perform, nor be compensated for Extra Work without obtaining authorization in the form of a
written Extra Work Order issued by SAFE’s Representative. For instance, Construction FSP
services as it relates to construction activity can be considered Extra Work. In the event an
Extra Work Order is not issued and signed by SAFE’s Representative, CONTRACTOR shall
not provide such Extra Work. However, no compensation or reimbursement for Extra Work
shall be paid if it is not authorized by SAFE and if the cumulative total of such Extra Work
under the Contract exceeds $25,000. All Extra Work in a cumulative total in excess of
$25,000 must be approved in advance by amendment to this Contract.
3.17.13.1 Extra Work Cancellation Policy. If a tow operator is
scheduled for Extra Work and they are notified of a cancellation with LESS than a 24 hour
notice – then the tow operator will be reimbursed for three (3) hours of the agreed upon
contract hourly rate. Note: The minimum of the three (3) hours should cover eight hours of
the drivers’ hourly wage. Starting with “Less than a 24 hour cancellation notice” up to the time
the tow operator is on the assigned Extra Work Beat, the “three contract hour cancellation
rate” remains the same. Once the tow operator is on the Extra Work Beat, the cancellation
policy changes.
131
17336.0002A\9580036. 3 APPENDIX B - 12
If a tow operator begins the Extra Work (the truck is on the Beat) and is then notified that
Extra Work has been cancelled, the FSP operator will be paid for the entire shift period up to
a maximum of eight (8) hours. A shift period for this policy is defined as: the time period of
the actual Extra Work shift assigned or for a maximum of eight (8) contract hours, whichever
is less.
The supervising FSP CHP Officer for the Extra Work shift will make the final determination as
to whether or not the tow operator will continue to work the Extra Work shift. Regardless, the
tow operator will be reimbursed for the original shift period or a maximum or eight (8) hours,
whichever is less.
3.17.14 Most Favored Customer. CONTRACTOR agrees that,
throughout the term of this Contract, it shall not enter into any FSP services agreement with
any government agency with whom it has either existing contractual relationship or has no
contractual relationship that predates this Contract, pursuant to which CONTRACTOR agrees
to charge FSP services fees less than those as indicated in this Contract for substantially the
same level of FSP services contemplated by this Contract. Should SAFE establish that such
lower fees have been agreed to by CONTRACTOR with another government agency,
CONTRACTOR agrees to renegotiate the fees or to refund SAFE an amount equal to the
difference between the fees indicated in this Contract and the fees charged to other
government agency customer.
3.18 Delay in Performance.
3.18.1 Excusable Delays. Neither Party shall be considered in default in
the performance of its obligations to the extent that the performance of any such obligation is
prevented or delayed by an Excusable Delay. Should CONTRACTOR be delayed or
prevented from the timely performance of any act or Services required by the terms of the
Contract by an Excusable Delay, Contractor’s schedule for completion of tasks affected by
such delay may be extended as set forth in Section 3.18.2. But in every case,
CONTRACTOR’s failure to perform must be reasonably beyond the control, and without the
fault or negligence of the CONTRACTOR. Excusable Delays are acts of God or of the public
enemy, acts or omissions of SAFE or other governmental agencies in either their sovereign or
contractual capacities, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight
embargoes or unusually severe weather.
3.18.2 Written Notice. If CONTRACTOR believes it is entitled to an
extension of time due to conditions set forth in subsection 3.18.1, CONTRACTOR shall
provide written notice to the SAFE within seven (7) working days from the time
CONTRACTOR knows, or reasonably should have known, that performance of the Services
will be delayed due to such conditions. Failure of CONTRACTOR to provide such timely
notice shall constitute a waiver by CONTRACTOR of any right to an excusable delay in time
of performance.
3.18.3 Mutual Contract. Performance of any Services under this Contract
may be delayed upon mutual agreement of the Parties. Upon such agreement,
132
17336.0002A\9580036. 3 APPENDIX B - 13
CONTRACTOR's Schedule of Services (as defined in their Proposal) shall be extended as
necessary by SAFE. CONTRACTOR shall take all reasonable steps to minimize delay in
completion, and additional costs, resulting from any such extension.

without limitation the rights to terminate this Contract, as assigned, pursuant to Section 3.15
hereof.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 9, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM Budget and Implementation Committee
Cheryl Donahue, Public Affairs Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Quarterly Public Engagement Metrics Report
BUDGET AND IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to receive and file the Quarterly Public Engagement Metrics
Report for January – March 2018.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
During the January 2018 Commission Workshop, staff and consultants provided information
about public opinion and stakeholder research relating to transportation issues in Riverside
County. The research revealed that although there is public support for many of the
Commission’s projects and programs, there is low recognition and awareness of RCTC and the
services it provides. The Commission directed staff to implement a public engagement program
through 2020 supporting transportation funding and Commission programs, plans, and projects.
As a precursor to this public engagement program, the Commission has gathered data of its
existing efforts to compile its first Quarterly Public Engagement Metrics Report. This report will
serve as a baseline for RCTC’s public engagement activities that will be continuing through late
2020 and will foster a data-driven approach for measuring progress toward public engagement
goals. Analyzing this data will allow staff to assess the effectiveness of its public engagement
efforts on an ongoing basis and to make adjustments, as needed. This data will also provide
transparency into how the Commission’s resources are being used to engage and educate the
public.
The quarterly report includes two sets of data:
1) Metrics for RCTC’s overall public engagement activities, including website use and access;
website top pages visited; email notifications; social media likes, engagement and reach;
and public sentiment
2) Metrics for RCTC’s Interstate 15 Express Lanes Project public engagement activities,
including email activity, website sessions, and social media. Note that although
construction of this project began early this year, public outreach activities began in
advance of construction, so additional data is available prior to 2018.
The report may evolve as staff and consultants refine the approach to measuring success and in
response to any Commissioner feedback.

Agenda Item 8J
Report highlights for this quarter includes the following:
RCTC Overall Public Engagement
1) Website: For the quarter, there were 17,750 website sessions, with 10,015 unique users.
Most people access the website by using a direct search (keying in rctc.org), closely
followed by those who use an organic search (using a search engine). Smaller numbers
use links from other websites or social media to access RCTC’s website. Approximately
60 percent of the website visitors use a tablet or smart phone to visit the site; the
remainder use a desktop computer. Most visited only the home page; other top visited
pages included the blog about funding received for extending the I-15 Express Lanes and
the blog about the 71/91 Interchange funding nomination.
2) Social Media: RCTC uses Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as its social media platforms.
At the end of the quarter, the Facebook page had 7,677 likes, 21,158 forms of
engagement, such as likes, comments and shares, and 227,678 impressions, which is the
number of times that RCTC’s content was displayed to people in their news feed. The
Twitter page had 996 followers, 407 forms of engagement, and 19,208 impressions. The
Instagram page had 175 followers, 696 forms of engagement, and 9,277 impressions.
3) RCTC’s The Point: RCTC produces content for its online blog, The Point, and distributes
this information via email to subscribers. RCTC has 815 subscribers, of which 35 percent
opened The Point, and 7 percent clicked on links to learn more.
I-15 Express Lanes Construction Public Engagement
1) Emails: There were a total of 305 new email sign-ups for the quarter, and 14 email
inquiries received. The email sign-ups were higher than the previous quarter, but lower
than the spring and summer 2017 quarters.
2) Website: There were 3,924 website sessions. This was the greatest number of sessions
to date for the project.
3) Social Media: The project uses Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and is working to build
its audiences. The Facebook page has 1,297 likes and is growing at a steady rate. Twitter
and Instagram were launched on February 5, 2018, and have 148 and 52 followers,
respectively.
For both RCTC’s overall public engagement and the I-15 Express Lanes Project, the Commission
is working to build its audiences and expects public engagement figures to continue to increase.
Future Public Engagement Metrics Reports will be issued in July, October, and January for the
quarters preceding these months and will include comparison data for each quarter.

AGENDA ITEM 9
Agenda Item 9
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 9, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: California Transportation Commission Staff Recommendations for SB 1
Funding Programs
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to receive and file the California Transportation Commission (CTC)
staff recommendations for SB 1 funding programs.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On April 25, 2018, the CTC released its draft project recommendations for the following SB 1
funding programs: Solutions for Congested Corridors Program (SCCP), Trade Corridors
Enhancements Program (TCEP), and Local Partnership Program (LPP) – Competitive. The
Commission submitted the State Routes 71/91 Connector project for SCCP, and the
Interstate 15/Railroad Canyon Interchange project for the LPP Competitive program. Based on
the CTC’s draft recommendations the I-15/Railroad Canyon Interchange project is recommended
for LPP funding while the SR-71/91 Connector project was not selected for SCCP funding. The
I-15/Railroad Canyon Interchange project is one of the last remaining Transportation Uniform
Mitigation Program Regional Arterial projects and, with the approval of SB 1 LPP funding, is now
fully funded through construction.
This first cycle of SB 1 funding programs provided a total of $2.64 billion over the next three years.
The CTC received over $5.36 billion in requests statewide. The emphasis in this first cycle was
placed on project readiness in addition to other criteria, such as cost benefit and greenhouse gas
reduction. Therefore, the demand for transportation improvements is much greater considering
projects that could not be delivered within the constraints of these programs.
The following table lists the projects that were submitted by the Commission and Riverside
County local agencies per program and are recommended for approval and funding at the
May 16-17, 2018 CTC meeting.

Several Riverside County projects were submitted but are not recommended for funding for this
first cycle. In the next few weeks and months, Commission staff will work with CTC to gather the
details on how the scoring criteria was applied and provide information to the local agencies to
improve project applications for a better outcome in future funding cycles. In addition,
Commission staff will work with the CTC in updating program guidelines for the next cycle of
funding, which is anticipated in the next couple of years if SB 1 is not repealed by voters in
November 2018.

AGENDA ITEM 10
Agenda Item 10
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: May 9, 2018
TO: Riverside County Transportation Commission
FROM: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
Sheldon Peterson, Rail Manager
THROUGH: Anne Mayer, Executive Director
SUBJECT: Proposed Metrolink Budget for Fiscal Year 2018/19
WESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTY PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Commission to:
1) Receive and file a report on the Commission’s portion of the Fiscal Year 2018/19 Southern
California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) operating and capital budget;
2) Approve the FY 2018/19 SCRRA operating and capital budget, which results in a total
operating and capital subsidy of $29,959,705 from the Commission; and
3) Authorize the Executive Director to enter into Memorandum of Understanding
No. 18-25-134-00 with SCRRA regarding annual funding, including subrecipient matters
related to pass-through of federal funding.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Metrolink is the brand name for the services operated by SCRRA. By virtue of the SCRRA Joint
Powers Agreement (JPA), the five member agencies that comprise Metrolink must formally
commit to fund their proportionate shares of commuter rail operating and capital costs. Each
member agency must approve the budget before adoption of a final budget by the SCRRA Board,
no later than June 30, 2018. Service and funding levels are limited by the policy and budget
constraints of the member agencies and are negotiated each year.
All of the financial information in this staff report is incorporated into the Commission’s overall
budget; however, in order to comply with the provisions of the JPA, a separate Commission action
to adopt the budget is required. The overall amount the Commission will provide to SCRRA is a
combination of an operating subsidy of $19,659,705, a rehabilitation capital expenditure subsidy
of $3.4 million, a new capital subsidy of $1.2 million, and $5.7 million for special projects for a
total subsidy of $29,959,705. The remainder of this staff report will provide the details that
comprise the budget.
Fiscal Year 2017/18 Metrolink Review
The following is a review of Metrolink’s FY 2017/18 activities:
153
Agenda Item 10
• Metrolink celebrated its 25th year of operations;
• Completed the second year of operations for the 91/Perris Valley Line (91/PVL) — a
24-mile extension of the 91 Line that connects the Perris Valley area and Riverside;
• Established an ongoing discount fare program to further enhance 91/PVL ridership;
• Operated positive train control (PTC) on all of the SCRRA-maintained tracks and began
implementation on shared tracks with the freight railroads;
• Continued growth of mobile ticketing with smartphones and added optic readers to allow
for easy connections to the Metro light rail network;
• Received delivery of 16 Tier 4 locomotives and initiated testing with a number of units in
regular service; and
• Operated an extremely successful 2017 Festival of Lights special train season, as well as
Rams Football trains and Angel Express trains.
Fiscal Year 2018/19 Looking Forward
Looking ahead to FY 2018/19, Metrolink intends to:
• Continue to prioritize safety;
• Actively pursue ways to generate ridership on all routes including the 91/PVL;
• Replace ticket vending machines with new network that continues to accept cash
payments;
• Continue to improve reliability, on-time performance, and the customer experience by
enhancing the rehabilitation program to reduce major failures by retrofitting cars and
replacing aging locomotives; and
• Continue implementing the PTC program system wide in coordination with the freight
railroads.
Riverside County Service Impact Proposed for Fiscal Year 2018/19
Three Metrolink commuter rail lines traverse Riverside County – the Riverside Line, the IEOC Line,
and the 91/PVL Line. With the expanded 91/PVL Line service, the Commission has seen steady
growth since operations began in June 2016 and is continuing to offer fare promotions and
marketing efforts to build the ridership base.
The operating and maintenance costs for the nine Commission-owned commuter rail stations,
while not included in the SCRRA budget, are included in the Commission’s overall budget under
the Rail Department and are funded with 2009 Measure A Western Riverside County
(Western County) rail funds.
Commission’s Fiscal Year 2018/19 Operating Subsidy Obligation
Metrolink’s overall proposed budget information for the entire system assumes no fare increases
and added expenses being passed on directly to the member agencies in the form of higher
subsidies. The FY 2018/19 SCRRA operating budget is $251,356,000, which is attached. The five
county transportation commissions that comprise Metrolink will fund $150,550,000 in subsidies
154
Agenda Item 10
which is 59.8 percent of expenses. All the member agencies have expressed concern about the
sustainability of such a large annual subsidy for the service. Additional vigilance will be required
going forward so as to control costs and reduce stress on the member agency budgets.
The Commission will have the responsibility to provide $19,659,705 for operations and
maintenance of way, which represents a $1,954,305 increase or 11 percent over the FY 2017/18
SCRRA budget.
Traditionally, the Metrolink subsidy as well as the operations and maintenance costs for the initial
five Commission-owned commuter rail stations were entirely funded with state Local
Transportation Fund (LTF) revenues allocated for rail operations. However, for the fourth
consecutive year the Commission will be forced to dip into LTF rail fund reserves to cover the
Metrolink subsidies. For example, the current FY 2018/19 LTF projections for rail are $12,474,110
or 63 percent of the required Metrolink subsidy. With the anticipated rate of spending, the LTF
rail fund reserves that have been building for many years are estimated to be exhausted within
the next few years. As noted previously, operations and maintenance costs for the current nine
Commission-owned commuter rail stations will be funded with 2009 Measure A Western County
rail funds or reserve funds due to the lack of annual LTF funds.
Commission’s Fiscal Year 2018/19 Capital Contribution
In prior years, staff executed multiple grants for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section
5307, 5309, and 5337 funds that provide ongoing funding for SCRRA capital programs over
several years. These FTA grant funds pass through the Commission as the direct recipient and
SCRRA as the subrecipient. These funds will be used for various projects including rehabilitation
and renovation of rolling stock and track projects, ticket vending machine upgrades, maintenance
of way technology, and layover facility improvements.
Per SCRRA’s annual budget request, the Commission’s capital rehabilitation and renovation
obligation for FY 2018/19 is $3.4 million. In addition, there is a request for $1.2 million for new
capital projects and $5.7 million for special projects. The Commission’s total rehabilitation and
new capital subsidy uses a portion of the FTA Section 5309 and 5337 as well as Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant funds. The SCRRA Capital Budget plan is based on
formula shares by each member agency; the Commission’s share will be lowered if matching
agency funds are not available.
In addition to the specific SCRRA budget requests, the Commission is pursuing a couple of multi-
year capital projects utilizing the FTA Section 5307, 5309, and 5337 grant funds already allocated.
These include expansion of the Downtown Riverside Layover Facility and additional track
improvements on the corridor. It is estimated these projects will be completed over the next
several years and will directly improve rail service within Riverside County. Costs for these
projects are included in the Commission’s annual budget.
155
Agenda Item 10
Summary Financial Subsidy Impact to Commission
The SCRRA-proposed Commission operating subsidy of $19,659,705 which represents
7.8 percent of the $251,356,000 SCRRA operating budget, will be funded with LTF funds. The
total new capital and rehabilitation project subsidies of up to $10.3 million, which is a large
increase from the $3.6 million request from FY 2017/18, will be funded with FTA grant funds that
will pass through the Commission.
The Commission’s total subsidy of $29,959,705 related to the FY 2018/19 SCRRA budget is
significant and reflects a steady increase on a year-to-year basis. Future rail expansion projects
in Riverside County will likely require similar funding increases, and SCRRA will continue to face
obligations to upgrade its equipment to meet new emissions reduction requirements and safety
needs.
The Commission’s FY 2018/19 budget includes the $29,959,705 SCRRA subsidy in various budget
categories.
In addition to approving the Commission’s portion of SCRRA-requested subsidies for FY 2018/91
operations and capital needs, staff recommend approval of Agreement No. 18-25-134-00 with
SCRRA regarding annual funding, including subrecipient matters related to pass-through of
federal funding.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On March 20, 2017, the Commission opened general purpose and express lanes as part of the
91 Project. Staff gathered data related to traffic conditions both before and after the 91 Project
opening to help evaluate the impact of the 91 Project on mobility in the SR-91 corridor.
176
Agenda Item 11
Since the opening, staff has managed demand for the express lanes through changing toll rates
to match congestion levels throughout each day. Staff also made a number of minor operational
improvements in the corridor since the 91 Project opening through changes in striping, signing,
and channelizers. At its February 14, 2018, meeting the Commission received a comprehensive
summary of the toll rate changes and operational improvements made to the corridor (see
Attachment 1).
Remaining Congestion Areas and Corridor Growth
In spite of the added general purpose and express lanes, toll rate changes, and additional
operational improvements, key congestion areas remain during certain times and locations along
the SR-91 corridor. The “Hot Spots” include the following locations:
• Express Lanes entrance at I-15 Northbound during morning peak hours
• General Purpose Lanes Westbound near the Orange County Line during morning peak
hours
• Express Lanes entrance at 91 Westbound at McKinley during morning peak hours
• Express Lanes exit near I-15 on Friday afternoon peak hours
The SR-91 corridor has seen considerable growth in traffic volumes over the last seven years (see
Figure 1).
2010 2017 2010 2017

Consistent with growth in corridor traffic volumes, the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metro
area has seen significant population growth (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Population Growth since 2010/Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario metro area
Attachment 2 highlights a number of travel speed changes between 2010 and 2017 after the new
lanes opened. Eastbound afternoon travel speeds have generally improved on most days and
times with the exception of early Friday afternoons. Westbound morning travel speeds from
Monday to Thursday have notably worsened in the 4-6 am period while seeing marginal
improvements between 6-8 am. Westbound morning travel speeds, east of I-15 to Serfas Club
Drive, have fared better in 2017 vs. 2010 when compared to travel speeds from Serfas Club Drive
to the County Line.
Potential Solutions Created and Evaluated
Staff has taken a fact-based, data-driven approach since December 2017 to create and evaluate
additional operational improvements at two locations along the corridor that would potentially
result in reduced congestion and improved travel times:
• Express Lanes entrance at I-15 Northbound – 2 options
• General Purpose Lanes Westbound near the County Line – 7 options
Additionally, as part of the Commission’s public engagement for the 91 Project, staff received
and evaluated two options for improvements of the General Purpose Lanes Westbound near the
County Line that were generated by the local community.

Agenda Item 11
The evaluation of these operational improvements included the impact to General Purpose Lane
traffic operations and Express Lane traffic operations. Comprehensive data and analysis for the
Express Lanes entrance at I-15 Northbound and General Purpose Lane Westbound near County
Line areas was presented at the February 26 and March 26 Western Riverside County Programs
and Projects (WRCPP) Committee meetings. The evaluation included determining the extent of
improvement to travel speeds, travel times, and vehicle throughput and reduction of traffic
congestion durations when compared to the existing condition in the corridor today.
The analysis of the various improvements focused on the impact to the entire SR-91 corridor and
both General Purpose and Express Lanes. Certain improvements were found to benefit one
segment of commuters but detrimental to others or beneficial to General Purpose Lanes but
made traffic in the Express Lanes worse. Additionally, the focus of the analysis was on the
91 freeway and freeway ramp operations and not on local streets.
91 Express Lanes Toll Policy Goals
At its June 2012, meeting the Commission adopted the following eight toll policy goals:
1) Provide a safe, and reliable, predictable commute for 91 Express Lanes customers;
2) Optimize vehicle throughput at free flow speeds;
3) Pay debt service and maintain debt service coverage;
4) Increase average vehicle occupancy;
5) Balance capacity and demand to serve customers who pay tolls as well as carpoolers with
three or more persons who are offered discounted tolls;
6) Generate sufficient revenue to sustain the financial viability of the Commission’s 91
Express Lanes;
7) Ensure all covenants in the financing documents are met; and
8) Provide net revenues for Riverside Freeway/SR-91 corridor improvements.
Goals 1, 2, and 8 speak to one of the overarching themes – optimizing express lane throughput
to provide a reliable and predictable commute. Optimizing express lane throughput helps the
entire SR-91 corridor traffic flow better and provides express lanes travel time certainty and
travel time savings.
Goals 3, 6, and 7 reflect the Commission’s long-term responsibility to meets its obligations to
lenders by generating sufficient toll revenue to sustain the financial viability of the Commission’s
91 Express Lanes. The financing of the 91 Project requires the Commission consider the
indenture provisions when making corridor improvement decisions, as we are accountable to
both bondholders and the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loan
provider—the U.S. Department of Transportation acting through the Build America Bureau.
These two themes – optimizing express lanes throughput while meeting financial responsibilities
– factor significantly in the analysis and staff’s recommendations in this agenda report.

Agenda Item 11
DISCUSSION:
Express Lanes Entrance at I-15 Northbound: Existing Conditions, Toll Rate Changes, and Options
Attachment 3 details the existing conditions at the Express Lanes entrance to I-15 northbound.
Significant General Purpose lane queuing continues to occur south of Cajalco Road which
occurred both before and after the SR-91 corridor lanes opened. However, new queuing was
occurring in the Express Lanes and General Purpose Lanes around Ontario Avenue. To address
this issue, a series of toll rate changes were initiated in November 2017 resulting in increased
travel speeds in the Express Lanes and reduced queuing in both the Express and General Purpose
Lanes in 2018.
In addition to the toll rate changes implemented, staff also investigated additional I-15
northbound corridor improvements based on input received at the December 2017 Commission
meeting to further improve this congested area. Attachment 3 details the two options created
and analyzed. Based on the analysis performed, the impact to traffic and toll revenue and project
implementation estimates are as follows:
Traffic Impacts
Option 1
• Reduces impact to General Purpose Lanes from queuing out of the Express Lanes
• Possibly results in slow moving Express Lanes traffic alongside fast moving General
Purpose lane traffic
Option 2
• Lessens potential for queuing out of the Express Lanes into the General Purpose Lanes
• Greater room on the ramp for vehicle storage than Option 1
• Results in a near-crawl speed at the 2-to-1 Express Lanes merge but the overall speed is
comparable to Option 1.
Toll Revenue Impacts
The Commission’s traffic and revenue consultant, Stantec, also analyzed the two I-15
improvement options for the northbound entrance and determined the estimated impact to toll
revenues was negligible for both options.
Project Implementation
Option 1
• $284,000 cost for all phases of work (design, construction, construction management,
etc.)
• Minimal environmental impacts, primarily striping and sign changes
180
Agenda Item 11
• 6 months from formal Commission approval to implement changes
Option 2
• $405,000 cost for all phases of work (design, construction, construction management,
etc.)
• Minimal environmental impacts
• 6 months from formal Commission approval to implement changes
• Conflicts with I-15 Express Lanes Project construction staging; cost risk for that project
Based on the potential for traffic operations improvement, negligible impact to toll revenue,
reasonable implementation cost and schedule, and the elimination of the construction staging
conflict with the I-15 Express Lanes Project, staff recommends full implementation of Option 1
(see Figure 3).
Figure 3: I-15 northbound 91 Express Lanes Ingress Improvement Option No. 1
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to implement all project development activities needed to complete
environmental approvals, final design, and construction of I-15 NB EL Option 1.

General Purpose Lanes Westbound near the Orange County Line
Attachment 2 details the existing conditions for the General Purpose Lanes westbound near the
County Line. Morning westbound congestion remains significant after the additional lanes
opened in 2017 during certain times and locations throughout the corridor. However, travel
speeds in the late morning from east of I-15 to Serfas Club Drive have improved somewhat while
speeds between Serfas Club Drive and the County Line have worsened.
These results are not surprising given that the extensive improvements associated with the
original 91 Project were not fully implemented due to funding constraints. The original 91 Project
called for an additional lane between SR-71 and SR-241 in both directions. The $1.4 billion Initial
91 Project did not include these improvements as well as improvements at the east end toward
Pierce Street. These future improvements are currently reflected in the Regional Transportation
Plan in 2035 and are generally known as the Ultimate 91 Project.
181
Agenda Item 11
It should also be noted that even the eventual construction of the Ultimate 91 Project would not
result in congestion-free travel during peak periods on the SR-91 corridor. The original Major
Investment Study performed in 2005 identified that the SR-91 corridor would have to be widened
to 22 total lanes to accommodate future growth. Therefore, while any operational
improvements implemented now may help partially relieve traffic congestion those
improvements will not provide enough capacity to ensure free-flow travel in the corridor during
peak periods.
Traffic Impacts
Each of the following options was analyzed to determine its impact to traffic.
Improvement Option Traffic Impact
Existing Condition Extensive queuing at County Line
Heavy delays throughout morning peak period
Option 1:
Remove dedicated Express Lane
egress/ingress, add General Purpose
Lane from Green River Road to SR-241
Makes Express Lanes significantly worse
Reduces General Purpose Lane congestion to 2.5 hours
New bottleneck at SR-241
Option 2:
Move Express Lane egress further east
Increases global throughput slightly, 500 vehicles/hour
Makes Express Lanes worse off
Reduces General Purpose Lanes congestion to 4.5 hours
Green River Road on-ramp traffic is last bottleneck – improved
Option 3:
Remove Express Lane weave lane
Makes Express Lanes significantly worse due to spillback from egress
New bottleneck at end of weaving lane
Option 4:
Add General Purpose Lane between
Green River Road and SR-241
Improves General Purpose Lanes significantly
Improves Express Lanes but due to General Purpose Lane
improvement (not inherently an Express Lane improvement)
Option 4b:
Remove Green River Road ramp meter
Improves Green River Road trip to SR-91
Assumes Option 4’s added lane between Green River Road and SR-
241
General Purpose Lanes degrade slightly vs. Option 4 without meter
Safety considerations – ramp merges from 3 lanes down to 1 lane
Option 5:
Add General Purpose Lane between SR-
71 and SR-241
Improves General Purpose Lanes slightly more than Option 4
Improves Express Lanes but due to General Purpose Lanes
improvement (not inherently an Express Lane improvement)
Option 6:
Options 3+4, Express Lanes weave lane
plus additional General Purpose Lane
between Green River Road and SR-241
Improves General Purpose Lanes the most of all options
Makes Express Lanes significantly worse due to spillback from
egress
Option 7:
Remove Green River Road ramp meter
under existing conditions
Green River Road travel time drops from 29 to 25 minutes
Green River Road speed improves from 8 mph to 10 mph
Safety considerations – ramp merges from 3 lanes down to 1 lane

Agenda Item 11
Toll Revenue Impacts
The toll revenue impacts analysis provided during this effort are considered “level 1” in terms of
accuracy and comprehensiveness. As a point of reference, in 2012 the Commission performed a
“level 3” investment grade traffic and revenue study as part of its successful 91 Project financing
completed in 2013. A level 3 study has the highest relative level of accuracy and
comprehensiveness.
Staff worked with Stantec to provide preliminary analysis and projections of the changes in long-
term toll revenue for Options 1, 3, 4, and 5. The toll revenue impacts were analyzed a number
of ways using varying assumptions in an attempt to best capture an accurate projection. Based
on both the variability of actual results and the long-term implications to the SR-91 corridor traffic
and revenue, staff recommends the Commission not use the level 1 results as a basis for selecting
an option involving more significant improvements (e.g. Options 1, 4, and 5). Note that the toll
revenue impacts due to the Option 3 improvements are expected to be less significant than
Options 1, 4, and 5 due to the relatively smaller traffic benefit. Staff recommends the
Commission authorize staff to perform an update to the 2012 investment grade traffic and
revenue study. See the “Traffic and Revenue” section of this staff report for additional details
and staff recommendation regarding this work.

Agenda Item 11
Short-Term Project Implementation
Based on the potential for traffic operations improvement, acceptable impact to toll revenue,
and reasonable implementation cost, schedule, and issues, staff recommends full
implementation of Option 3 (see Figure 4).
Figure 4: Improvement Option No. 3
Green River Ramp Meter
Options 4b and 7 both analyzed the impact of turning off the existing ramp meter at the
westbound Green River Road on-ramp. The traffic operation impacts are as follows:
Option 4b (sample 6:15-6:30 am time period) compared to Option 4
• Green River Road travel time drops from 30 to 20 minutes
• Green River Road speed improves from 8 mph to 12 mph
Option 7 (sample 6:15-6:30 am time period) compared to existing condition
• Green River Road travel time drops from 29 to 25 minutes
• Green River Road speed improves from 8 mph to 10 mph
Additionally, safety concerns exist with the ramp merge (three lanes to two lanes to one lane)
without the discipline of the ramp timing metering traffic and helping with an orderly lane merge.
Further, Caltrans is the operator of the State Highway System including the operation and timing
of ramp meters. Caltrans expressed the same safety concerns and was not initially inclined to
consider turning off the ramp meter.
184
Agenda Item 11
Given the minimal benefits to traffic operations and the noted safety concerns, staff is not
recommending that the Green River Road on-ramp meter be turned off or timing changed
substantially.
Caltrans Consultation
Staff and consultants conducted early discussions with Caltrans to vet the various options and
determine which options had fatal flaws preventing future Caltrans’ approval. Caltrans expressed
significant concerns with Options 4, 5, and 6 due to the following concerns: narrower 11’-wide
lanes and 2’-wide shoulders, limited storm drainage capacity in outside lane with vehicles,
inadequate emergency vehicle access, inadequate vehicle breakdown areas, and number of miles
that these concerns extend.
As a result, Options 4, 5, and 6 as currently conceived will not be approved for implementation
given both the magnitude and extent of non-standard features that present safety and/or traffic
operation problems.
A modification of Option 4 that would more closely meet Caltrans’ requirements resulting in
wider lanes and shoulders, better emergency vehicle access, and traffic operations was conceived
from the discussions. This option would result in less non-standard features, an estimated 7’
widening of pavement, and a resulting project cost of approximately $30-$50 million.
Mid-Term Project Implementation
Based on the potential for traffic operations improvement, estimated implementation cost,
schedule to implement, Caltrans’ consultation input, and other known issues, staff recommends
to proceed to implement a modified Option 4 (see Figure 5) in two steps:
• First, seek Commission approval to immediately begin project scoping, environmental
studies, and final design work for the modified Option 4.
• Second, after the updated level 3 investment grade traffic & revenue study is completed
in Fall 2018, return to the Commission with a recommendation for construction of
modified Option 4.
Note that the scoping, environmental studies, and final design services would be proceeding
concurrent with the updated level 3 traffic and revenue study. Staff proposes this approach to
accelerate the completion of the modified Option 4 improvements by as much as six months.
However, it is also possible that a future staff recommendation could be to not construct the
modified Option 4 improvements resulting in the loss of the project development costs.
185
Agenda Item 11
Figure 5: Improvement Option No. 4
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff proposes the following two-step implementation approach for the County Line area:
a) Short-term
• Implement SR-91 westbound General Purpose Lane Improvement Option No. 3
(completion approximately 9 months from May 2018 Commission approval)
b) Mid-term
• Implement SR-91 westbound General Purpose Lane Improvement modified Option No.
4 scoping, environmental, and design work (completion approximately 18 months from
May 2018 Commission approval)
• Implement SR-91 westbound General Purpose Lane Improvement modified Option No.
4 construction (subject to future Commission approval Fall 2018, completion
approximately 2-1/2 years from Fall 2018 Commission approval)
Therefore, authorize staff to implement all project development activities needed to complete
environmental approvals, final design, and construction of 91 WB GP Option No. 3.
Further, authorize staff to implement all project development activities needed to complete
environmental approvals and final design of 91 WB GP Option No. 4.
Lastly, direct staff to return in fall 2018 with a recommendation regarding the construction of
91 WB GP Option No. 4.

Agenda Item 11
Procurements and Contracts
At all of the Commission and WRCPP Committee meetings, staff heard from Commissioners and
local constituents the need to get improvements in place as quickly as possible. This “need for
speed” has shaped the two-prong implementation approach just described.
Staff is also asking for more procurement and contracting authority to allow more flexibility to
deliver the accelerated implementation recommendations. The proposed approach is not the
Commission’s typical project development process where sequential Board decisions and actions
are presented for approval when ready.
If the WRCPP Committee or Commission chooses not to proceed in this accelerated fashion as
described below, then staff proposes the Board approve certain items today with the need to
return to future meetings with additional recommendations, decisions, and actions.
Project and Construction Management and Staff Augmentation Services
Staff proposes to use Parsons for all PCM services including environmental, final design,
construction inspection, construction management, and other project development services.
The breakdown of Parsons current estimated costs of $3,192,000 is as follows:
• I-15 NB EL Option 1 (environmental, final design, construction management) - $92,000
• 91 WB GP Option 3 (final design, construction management) - $100,000
• 91 WB GP Option 4 (environmental, final design) - $3 million
Staff also proposes to use Bechtel to augment staff resources in an amount of $300,000.
Construction
Staff proposes to provide the Executive Director the flexibility to either amend the existing
Skanska-Ames design-build contract via a contract change order and/or competitively bid and
execute construction contracts for the I-15 NB EL Option 1 and 91 WB GP Option 3 work.
Traffic and Revenue Study
The toll revenue impacts provided during this effort are considered “level 1” in terms of accuracy
and comprehensiveness. Staff proposes to update the “level 3” 2012 SR-91 Investment Grade
Traffic and Revenue study used to originally finance the 91 Project. This update will better inform
the Commission of the toll revenue impacts of future corridor improvements. The update would
account for actual 91 Express Lanes opening data, current socio-economic data, current regional
traffic network projects and delivery dates, and other factors. The update is estimated to cost
$500,000 and take approximately five months to complete. Staff proposes this work proceed
concurrent with the development of the corridor improvements.
187
Agenda Item 11
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS
Authorize the Executive Director, or her designee, to negotiate and execute contract change
orders to Agreement No. 09-31-081-00 with Parsons, as the 91 Project PCM, for project
development services to implement the 91 COP for an amount as necessary to complete the
work currently estimated at $3,192,000, as it is in the public interest and best interest of the
Commission to conduct a non-competitive procurement;
Authorize the Executive Director, or her designee, to negotiate and execute contract
amendments to Agreement No. 17-31-079-00 with Bechtel, as the Commission’s capital project
delivery staff augmentation, for project development services to implement the 91 COP for an
amount as necessary to complete the work currently estimated at $300,000, as it is in the public
interest and best interest of the Commission to conduct a non-competitive procurement.
Authorize the Executive Director, or her designee, to negotiate and execute contract change
orders to Agreement No. 16-31-057-00 with Skanska-Ames, as the existing I-15 ELP design-build
contractor to construct:
a. I-15 NB EL Option 1 for an amount as necessary to complete the work currently
estimated at $192,000; and
b. 91 WB GP Option 3 for an amount as necessary to complete the work currently
estimated at $286,000;
Should the Executive Director determine, on behalf of the Commission, it is in the public
interest and best interest of the Commission to conduct separate non-competitive
procurements.
Authorize the Executive Director, or her designee, to conduct competitive procurements and
execute contracts, to construct:
a. I-15 NB EL Option 1 for an amount as necessary to complete the work currently
estimated at $160,000; and
b. 91 WB GP Option 3 for an amount as necessary to complete the work currently
estimated at $238,000;
Should the Executive Director determine, on behalf of the Commission, it is in the public
interest and best interest of the Commission.
Approve Agreement No. 10-31-099-08, Amendment No. 8 to Agreement No. 10-31-099-00,
with Stantec for an update to the 2012 91 Express Lanes Investment Grade Traffic and Revenue
Study for an amount as necessary to complete the work currently estimated at $500,000 as it
is in the public interest and best interest of the Commission to conduct a non-competitive
procurement.

Agenda Item 11
Surplus Toll Revenue
Surplus toll revenue is the toll revenue remaining after all other financial obligations required as
part of the 91 Express Lanes project financing have been met. These financial obligations include
annual operation and maintenance, debt service, reserve funds, and other obligations. The
Commission’s authorizing legislation, SB1316, requires that all surplus revenue be spent for
transportation purposes within the SR-91 corridor.
Staff’s current estimate of surplus toll revenue from the March 20, 2017 opening through June
30, 2018 is approximately $24 million. Therefore, staff proposes to use 91 Express Lanes surplus
toll revenue to fund all 91 COP expenses and actions contained in this staff report currently
estimated at $4,470,000.
Further, staff intends to prepare a more comprehensive surplus toll revenue expenditure plan at
the conclusion of the Commission’s first full year of operations (year ending June 30, 2018) and
return for Commission consideration and approval in fall 2018.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the expenditure of 91 Express Lanes toll revenue designated as surplus in accordance
with the 2013 Toll Revenue Bonds Indenture to fund all 91 COP and 91 Express Lanes traffic
and revenue study expenses approved as part of this item for an amount as necessary to
complete the work under the contracts described herein, as the same may be further modified
or amended by the Executive Director in the best interest of the Commission and without
further Committee action, currently estimated at $4,470,000.
* * * * * * *
Budget Adjustment
Staff proposes a budget adjustment to pay $1 million of estimated FY 2017/18 costs related to
the 91 COP and 91 Express Lanes traffic and revenue study work subject to approval in this staff
report. Staff proposes to use surplus toll revenues; therefore, a corresponding budget
adjustment of $1 million is required to transfer surplus toll revenues from the RCTC 91 Express
Lanes Enterprise Fund to the 2009 Measure A County Highway Fund. The remaining costs
presented for approval in this staff report, $3,470,000 are proposed for approval in the
FY 2018/19 budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve adjustments to the FY 2017/18 budget to increase project development costs for the
91 COP and professional costs related to the 91 Express Lanes Investment Grade Traffic and
Revenue Study update and corresponding transfers of surplus toll revenues from the RCTC 91
189
Agenda Item 11
Express Lanes Enterprise Fund to the 2009 Measure A Western County Highway Fund for an
amount as necessary to complete the work currently estimated at $1 million.
* * * * * * *
Agency Agreements
New agreements or amendments to existing agency-to-agency agreements will be needed for
various project development work phases including environmental, final design, construction,
and possibly others. Staff proposes authority for the Chair or Executive Director to execute all
necessary agency agreements associated with the 91 COP.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute all
necessary agency agreements or amendments to existing agency agreements for the
implementation of the 91 COP including cooperative and funding agreements with Caltrans,
Orange County Transportation Authority, California Highway Patrol, and other agencies, as
deemed necessary.
