AGENDA ITEM 7
BLANK
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 27, 2015
TO: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
FROM: Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director
THROUGH: John Standiford, Assistant, Deputy Executive Director
SUBJECT: Reprogramming of Funds Related to State Route 91 High Occupancy Vehicle
Lane Project
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve reprogramming federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds in
the amount of $6,197,000 and 1989 Measure A Western County highway local match in
the amount of $802,900 from the State Route 91 High Occupancy Vehicle (SR-91 HOV)
project right of way phase to the construction phase;
2) Authorize the Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
agreements with Caltrans to reflect the reprogramming of $6,197,000 CMAQ funds and
$802,900 Measure A funds from right of way to construction for the SR-91 HOV; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Caltrans and the Commission have nearly completed all right of way utility relocations for the
SR-91 HOV project and determined there will be right of way savings of federal CMAQ funds in
the amount of approximately $6,197,000 plus corresponding Measure A local match that total
approximately $7 million. Staff recommends reprogramming the right of way savings to the
construction phase to cover anticipated construction capital cost increase of $4 million and the
related construction management support cost increase of $3 million.
This action does not require additional funding for the current project, as it involves moving
already committed and obligated funding from one phase to another but does require the
amendments to the cooperative agreements with Caltrans for the right of way and for the
construction phases. Commission staff will de-obligate CMAQ federal funds from right of way,
and Caltrans staff will obligate the funds for the construction phase. The local match from 1989
Measure A Western County highway funds will be paid to Caltrans, as lead agency on the
construction phase, as reimbursement for costs incurred. These Measure A funds were
previously committed for the right of way phase to match the required CMAQ contribution and
will be redirected and reimbursed to Caltrans for construction costs, which are included in the
FY 2015/16 budget.
Agenda Item 7
1
The reprogrammed funds are needed to cover anticipated construction cost increases on the
SR-91 HOV project due to issues encountered after start of construction that have delayed the
original completion date. At the May Commission meeting, Caltrans will report on the status of
the SR-91 HOV project and will detail the issues encountered during construction.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 27, 2015
TO: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
FROM: Sheldon Peterson, Rail Manager
THROUGH: Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director
SUBJECT: Request for Federal Operating Assistance Funding for Start-up of Perris Valley Line
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Approve programming $20 million of federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) funds for operating assistance for the start-up of the Perris Valley Line; and
2) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
With the anticipated construction completion of the Perris Valley Line this calendar year, the
Commission needs to prepare for commencing regular commuter rail service. The operating
plan supported by the Federal Transit Administration calls for 12 daily trains between South
Perris and Riverside expanding service an additional 24 miles within Riverside County. With this
new service, there will be a substantial additional financial commitment for the operations and
maintenance of this new line including trains, tracks, and stations. To address this initial cost
increase, staff recommends the Commission approve $20 million of federal CMAQ funds for
start-up operations.
The current federal transportation program, MAP-21, allows for CMAQ funds to be used for
operating assistance for start-up operating costs for new transportation services including
commuter rail such as the Perris Valley Line. The intent of the program is to help viable
transportation services that can demonstrate air quality benefits and eventually cover as much
costs as possible. This assistance can be provided for a total of up to five sequential years of
support. At the conclusion of the five-year period, operating costs would have to be
maintained with non-CMAQ funding. Operating assistance includes all costs of providing new
transportation services, including but not limited to, labor, fuel, administrative costs, and
maintenance. These costs fall in line with the proposed implementation plan for the Perris
Valley Line.
After lengthy discussions with the Southern California Commuter Rail Authority (SCRRA) during
the current FY 2015/16 budget year process, it appears the incremental cost increase for the
service will be approximately $4 million a year. These costs are due to the six train crews
Agenda Item 9
20
required to provide the service; additional right of way maintenance staff to patrol and
maintain the tracks and signals; mechanical crews to clean, fuel, and inspect the equipment;
train fuel; and facilities maintenance and security for the layover facility and four new stations.
Staff intends to request $4 million for the next five years for project start-up operations. The
expectation is that ridership and revenue growth will occur during this ramp up period so that
the subsidy requirement from other local transportation funding sources will be reduced over
the five year period.
Staff requests this authorization now to allow for the extended timeline that is required to
obligate the federal funds and complete the steps necessary to have the funds available by the
time the service is ready to begin by the end of the calendar year.

anticipated additional construction management (CM), materials testing, and

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Riverside Downtown Station opened in 1993. The facility includes an Operations Control
Center housing a centralized Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance system for all of
Riverside County’s commuter rail stations. In order to enhance public safety, reduce vandalism,
prevent crime, and identify criminal activity, the system monitors a variety of station
environments and activities 24 hours a day. The system presently includes 115 cameras
distributed among the various station sites. The facility where the CCTV system is housed and
monitored is known as the RDNOCC.
Agenda Item 10
22
In 1994 Metrolink installed modular crew layover offices at the station. Over the intervening
two decades, the Commission's security surveillance system and Metrolink’s rail operations
have expanded and outgrown the capacity of their existing buildings.
In January 2009, the Commission authorized a security plan assessment (security plan) for
security, surveillance, facility improvements, future facility design, and development of facility
emergency response plans. The security plan recommended relocation of video surveillance
and security guard operations to a new RDNOCC. In December 2010, the Commission approved
an agreement to provide engineering design and support services for the relocation, expansion,
and upgrade of the RDNOCC. Due to funding constraints, the design plans were placed on hold.
In March 2013, the Commission allocated funds to construct the new RDNOCC, and the design
plans were completed in October 2013.
In May 2014, the Commission approved Agreement No. 14-31-075-00 with Abacus for CM,
materials testing, and construction surveying services for the new RDNOCC in the amount of
$165,862 plus a contingency amount of $16,586 for at total amount not to exceed $182,448. In
September 2014, the Commission approved Agreement No. 14-31-149-00 with M.S.
Construction Management Group in the amount of $1,533,891 plus a contingency amount of
$153,389, for a total amount not to exceed $1,687,280, to construct the new operations control
center at the Riverside Downtown Metrolink Station.
The construction phase of this project is funded with a variety of sources which include
Proposition 1B Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement and Service Enhancement
Account (PTMISEA); Proposition 1B California Transit Security Grant Program; and
Transportation Development Act State Transit Assistance funds.
To date, nine construction contract change orders (CCOs) have been approved for $97,081,
reducing the contingency balance to $56,308. Pending changes due to design issues,
unforeseen utility conflicts, revised utility connections, and permit fees will likely require
additional construction CCOs for an estimated total of $250,000. The designer has verbally
agreed to pay for the costs to reconstruct a retaining wall, which represents the majority of the
extra costs.
Staff requests a $250,000 increase to the authorized contingency for the construction
agreement with M.S. Construction Management Group to cover the cost of pending CCOs and
contingency to cover any additional unforeseen work. The addition of $250,000 will increase
the project contingency to 26 percent of the construction bid. Staff is also requesting an
additional $50,000 in contingency for the CM contract with Abacus due to possible cost
increases related to the extra construction work. Proposition 1B PTMISEA funds are available
to cover these potential cost increases totaling $300,000.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Commission owns and operates five commuter rail stations – Riverside Downtown, La
Sierra, North Main Corona, Pedley, and West Corona – and one transit center located in Perris.
Station cleaning and grounds maintenance services as well as security services are an important
component in attracting the Metrolink rider as well as preserving, maintaining, and securing the
Commission’s property investments. Over the next several months, three new commuter rail
stations for the Perris Valley Line project will be completed at Hunter Park, Moreno
Valley/March Field, and South Perris and the Perris Transit Center will be expanded to the
Perris Downtown station. Landscaping maintenance, street sweeping, janitorial, pest control,
and security services will be needed at each of these new stations. Currently, these services are
being provided at the existing stations by vendors selected through competitive procurements
in recent years. Rather than have multiple vendors provide similar services, staff recommends
adding the new stations to the existing agreements. As these agreements near expiration,
including the exercise of option periods, competitive procurements will be conducted for the
services. The agreements and recommended increases are presented below:

Staff obtained cost estimates from these vendors. The cost estimates are considered fair and
reasonable based upon adequate price competition under the procurement process for the
original agreements and staff evaluation of current and historical costs paid by the Commission
for the same or similar services. The costs for these services related to the new Perris Valley
Line stations are included in the FY 2015/16 budget.
In order to respond quickly to the current state water crisis, staff requests additional contract
authority of $500,000 for Tropical Plaza Nursery to implement drought tolerant landscaping
rehabilitation at the Commission owned stations. This authority will allow work to be

completed in a timely manner to meet water reduction goals. Task orders will be awarded for
the landscaping improvements upon acceptance of a fair and reasonable price from Tropical
Plaza Nursery. The funding for the landscaping improvements will be funded by the Proposition
1B PTMISEA grant.

SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement with Fibertronics for Closed Circuit Television
Capital Improvements and Station Maintenance Services
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:

00 with Fibertronics, Inc. (Fibertronics) for commuter rail station Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV) security system installation, maintenance, and repair services at the
three new Perris Valley Line stations, and capital improvements at the six existing
commuter rail stations, in the amount of $79,200 for CCTV maintenance, $67,500 for
repairs, and $500,000 for capital improvements, plus a contingency amount of $32,335,
for an additional amount of $679,035, and a total amount not to exceed $1,293,605;
2) Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute
the amendment to the agreement on behalf of the Commission;
3) Authorize the Executive Director, or designee, to execute task orders awarded under the
terms of the agreement;
4) Authorize the Executive Director or designee to approve contingency work up to the
total not to exceed amount as required for the project; and
5) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
At its April 10, 2013 meeting, the Commission approved Agreement No. 13-24-066-00 with
Fibertronics to provide CCTV security system maintenance, repairs, and capital improvements
for the five commuter rail stations owned and operated by the Commission – Downtown
Riverside, La Sierra, Pedley, North Main Corona, West Corona – and Perris Transit Center for a
three-year term, and two one-year options to extend the agreement, in an amount not to
exceed $614,570. At that meeting, staff noted it would return to the Commission to seek an
amendment to the agreement to fund certain CCTV capital improvements to be funded by the
Proposition 1B California Transit Security Grant Program (CTSGP).
Three new stations will be completed in the coming months as part of the Perris Valley Line
commuter rail extension project. Therefore, staff recommends the addition of maintenance
services, repair services, and capital improvements for the three new stations at South Perris,
Agenda Item 12
63
Moreno Valley/March Field, and Riverside Hunter Park, capital improvements for the
operations control center; and upgrading the Commission’s CCTV system to current industry
standards.
Staff obtained cost estimates for maintenance and repair services totaling $146,700 for the
three new stations from Fibertronics. The estimates are considered fair and reasonable based
upon adequate price competition under the Commission’s approved procurement process for
the initial agreement and staff evaluation of current and historical costs paid by the
Commission for the same or similar services. Staff recommends a 5 percent contingency, or
$7,335, for unforeseen maintenance and repairs, resulting in an additional provision of
$154,035 to the Fibertronics agreement related to maintenance and repairs. The maintenance
and repairs will be funded by Local Transportation Fund funds.
In regard to the CCTV-related capital improvements at the three new stations, the operations
control center, and system upgrades, staff recommends authorization to increase the
Fibertronics agreement for estimated costs of up to $500,000 plus a 5 percent contingency, or
$25,000, for a total amount not to exceed $525,000. Task orders will be awarded for the capital
improvements upon acceptance of a fair and reasonable price from Fibertronics. The CCTV-
related capital improvements will be funded by the Proposition 1B CTSGP.
These CCTV maintenance and repairs as well as capital improvements have been included in the
FY 2015/16 budget.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION

TO: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
FROM: Jillian Guizado, Staff Analyst
Brian Cunanan, Commuter and Motorist Assistance Manager
THROUGH: Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director
SUBJECT: Agreements for Freeway Service Patrol Tow Truck Service
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Award Agreement No. 15-45-060-00 to Airport Mobil Towing (Airport Mobil) for
Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) tow truck services on Interstate 15 Beat No. 25 for a three-
year term, plus two one-year options to extend the agreement, for a total amount not
to exceed $1,927,000; and
2) Award Agreement No. 15-45-061-00 to Pepe’s Towing (Pepe’s) for FSP tow truck
services on Interstate 15 Beat No. 26 for a three-year term, plus two one-year options to
extend the agreement, for a total amount not to exceed $1,291,000; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
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
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.
Agenda Item 13
73
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 four 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 2013/14, FSP
performed over 44,000 assists.

26 I-15 Hidden Valley Parkway to Temescal Canyon Road 4,618
TOTAL ASSISTS 44,076
DISCUSSION:
Staff sought a competitive solution to award tow service contracts to qualified firms for Beat
Nos. 25 and 26, two of the nine total beats administered by the Commission. Beat No. 25
operates on Interstate 15 from the San Bernardino County line to Hidden Valley Parkway and
requires the use of three tow trucks during normal service hours. Beat No. 26 operates on
Interstate 15 from Hidden Valley Parkway to Temescal Canyon Road, which requires the use of
two tow trucks during normal service hours.
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 elements of the evaluation criteria included
experience, the relative qualifications of the firms, proposed work plan, and the proposer’s
ability to respond to the requirements set forth under the terms of the Request for Proposals
(RFP) No. 15-45-060-00.
Agenda Item 13
74
RFP No. 15-45-060-00 for FSP services was released by staff on February 19, 2015. 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 four firms, two of which are located in Riverside County. Additionally, the
Commission sent out 92 postcards to firms who have previously expressed interest in tow
services and/or are on the current CHP rotational tow lists. Of the 92, 31 are located in
Riverside County. Through the PlanetBids site, 10 firms downloaded the RFP; five of these firms
are located in Riverside County. A pre-bid conference was held on March 4, 2015, and was
attended by three firms, two of which are local to Riverside County. Staff responded to all
questions submitted by potential proposers prior to the March 10 clarification deadline date.
Prior to the proposal submittal deadline on March 24 at 2:00 p.m., two responsive and
responsible firms – Airport Mobile (Ontario) and Pepe’s (Riverside) – submitted proposals in
response to the RFP for services on Beat No. 25. One responsive and responsible firm, Pepe’s,
submitted a proposal in response to the RFP for services on Beat No. 26.
Since staff received one proposal for the Beat No. 26, it reviewed the solicitation specifications
for undue restrictiveness and surveyed potential sources that chose not to submit a proposal.
Reasons for not submitting a proposal include the distance between the beat and the yard,
technical difficulties, and inability to take on additional commitments at this time. 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 Beat No. 26.
An evaluation committee comprised of representatives from the CHP Inland Division, San
Bernardino Associated Governments, and the Commission evaluated each proposal in
accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP. On April 7, 2015, the evaluation
committee performed site visits and interviewed both of the proposing firms. Accordingly, the
evaluation committee provided final scoring based on a comprehensive evaluation of each
firm’s written proposal and interview.
Beat No. 25
Proposals submitted in response to Beat No. 25 were scored by the evaluation committee
based upon the criteria set forth in the RFP. The two firms submitted hourly rates for tow
services for the initial three-year term that ranged from a low of $64.00 per hour to a high of
$64.71 per hour. The all-inclusive hourly service rate for this beat, as well as the rate for Beat
No. 26, includes all direct costs (e.g., fuel, labor, equipment), indirect costs (e.g., fringe benefits,
overhead), and profit to provide the subject services.
The overall rankings, inclusive of pricing, listed from highest to lowest total evaluation score for
Beat No. 25 are as follows:
Agenda Item 13
75
Firm Hourly Rate Overall Ranking
Airport Mobil Towing $64.00 1
Pepe’s Towing $64.71 2
As a result of the completion of the evaluation process, the evaluation committee recommends
contract award to Airport Mobil for Beat No. 25 for a three-year term at a fixed hourly rate of
$64.00, with two one-year options to extend the agreement at a fixed hourly rate of $64.96, as
this firm earned the highest total evaluation score.
Beat No. 26
Pepe’s is the only firm that submitted a responsive and responsible proposal in response to the
RFP for services on Beat No. 26. The proposal was scored by the evaluation committee based
upon the criteria set forth in the RFP. Pepe’s proposed hourly rate for tow services is $64.71.
Based on the overall score according to the evaluation criteria listed in the RFP, the evaluation
committee recommends Pepe’s for award of Beat No. 26 for a three-year term, with two one-
year options at a fixed hourly rate of $64.71 through the entire term of the agreement. Pepe’s
has been providing FSP in Riverside County for over 15 years and is currently providing service
on five Riverside FSP beats, including Beat No. 26. Pepe’s has performed satisfactorily and has
a good working relationship with staff.
CONCLUSION:
Staff is recommending Airport Mobil for award of Beat No. 25 and Pepe’s for Beat No. 26 based
on the evaluation process discussed.
The proposed all-inclusive hourly rates from Airport Mobil for Beat No. 25 and Pepe’s for Beat
No. 26 is considered fair and reasonable based upon adequate price competition under the RFP
process.
Staff recommends the award of Agreement No. 15-45-060-00 to Airport Mobil for FSP tow truck
services on Beat No. 25 in an amount not to exceed $1,927,000 and Agreement No. 15-45-061-
00 to Pepe’s for FSP tow truck services on Beat No. 26 in an amount not to exceed $1,291,000.
The Commission’s standard form FSP services agreement will be entered into for each beat
subject to any changes pursuant to legal counsel review.

Services, and that such licenses and approvals shall be maintained throughout the term of
this Contract. CONTRACTOR shall perform, at its own cost and expense and without

caused by the CONTRACTOR’s failure to comply with the standard of care provided for
herein, and shall be fully responsible to SAFE for all damages and other liabilities provided for

perform the Services in a manner acceptable to SAFE, shall be promptly removed from
performing the Services by the CONTRACTOR and shall not be re-employed to perform any
of the Services.
3.11 Opportunity to Cure. SAFE may provide CONTRACTOR an opportunity
to cure, at CONTRACTOR's expense, all errors and omissions which may be disclosed during

manner, such correction may be made by SAFE, and the cost thereof charged to
CONTRACTOR.

and in compliance with all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations in any manner
affecting the performance of the Services, including all Cal/OSHA requirements, and shall
give all notices required by law. CONTRACTOR shall be solely liable for all violations of such
laws and regulations in connection with Services. If the CONTRACTOR performs any work
knowing it to be contrary to such laws, rules and regulations and without giving written notice
to SAFE, CONTRACTOR shall be solely responsible for all costs arising therefrom.
CONTRACTOR shall defend, indemnify and hold SAFE, their officials, directors, officers,
employees and agents free and harmless, pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this
Contract, from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or alleged failure to comply with
such laws, rules or regulations.

assisted by the CONTRACTOR, that the CONTRACTOR damaged their vehicle while lending
assistance, the CONTRACTOR shall notify CHP immediately regarding the nature of the
damage complaint and its disposition. The CONTRACTOR shall reply to the motorist by
telephone within twenty-four (24) hours of receiving the damage complaint notification. If
necessary, the CONTRACTOR shall send either his or her authorized representative or his or
her insurance company representative to inspect the vehicle and complete an incident report
within forty-eight (48) hours after receiving the damage complaint. If the investigation shows
that damage to the vehicle could have been caused by the CONTRACTOR, the
CONTRACTOR shall negotiate in good faith to try and resolve the issue and shall report to
the CHP the result of the negotiations. All complaints shall be resolved within a reasonable
period of time after being received.
3.14.1 Complaint Review Committee. The FSP Technical Advisory
Committee (“FSP TAC”) is composed of voting members from CHP, SAFE and Caltrans.
Voting members of the FSP TAC are hereby designated as the members of the Damage
Complaint Review Committee (“DCRC”). If the DCRC finds that justifiable complaints are not
resolved within a reasonable time frame, it can recommend that payment to the
CONTRACTOR in the amount of the damage claim may be deducted from the
CONTRACTOR’s monthly invoice.
3.15 Termination.
3.15.1 Notice; Reason. SAFE may, by written notice to CONTRACTOR,
terminate this Contract, in whole or in part, including, without limitation, the geographical
territory covered by this Contract, at any time by giving written notice to CONTRACTOR of
such termination, and specifying the effective date thereof (“Notice of Termination”). Such
termination may be for SAFE’s convenience 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
APPENDIX B - 6
83
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
effective date of the Notice of Termination.
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
provided in the Notice of Termination. In such case, SAFE may take over the work and
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
contracts with CONTRACTOR.

provided in this Section are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or
under this Contract.
3.15.6 Procurement of Similar Services. In the event this Contract is
terminated, in whole or in part, as provided by this Section, SAFE may procure, upon such
terms and in such manner as it deems appropriate, services similar to those terminated.

discussions concerning, but not limited to: scope, Services, schedule, current progress of
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
CONTRACTOR cannot have a management-level representative at a meeting,
CONTRACTOR shall notify SAFE and CHP prior to the meeting. Management-level
attendance at these meetings shall be considered part of the CONTRACTOR’s contractual
responsibility. Meetings are scheduled, and CONTRACTOR will be notified of such schedule,

CONTRACTOR to SAFE. Should CONTRACTOR fail to reimburse moneys due SAFE

15-minutes worth of breaks per 3-hour shift; or being ordered out of service by a CHP or

attached Exhibit “B”.
3.17.7 Accounting System. CONTRACTOR and its subcontractors
shall establish and maintain an accounting system and records that properly accumulate
and segregate expenditures by line item for the Services. The accounting system of
CONTRACTOR and its subcontractors shall conform to Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), enable the determination of incurred costs at interim points of
completion, and provide support for reimbursement payment vouchers or invoices.
3.17.8 Invoices. Invoices for CONTRACTOR’s Services shall be
submitted monthly on forms approved by SAFE. Invoices will be routinely verified by CHP.
To ensure prompt payment, most billing disputes may be resolved within ten (10) working
days of written notice of dispute. However, at SAFE’s discretion, reconciliation of disputed
fines that sum to less than 2% of the months’ Invoice may be corrected on the next month’s
Invoice to ensure prompt payment of the major portion of the invoice. Each Invoice shall
include a cover sheet bearing a certification as to the accuracy of the statement signed by the
CONTRACTOR’s authorized officer.
3.17.8.1 Monthly Progress Reports. As part of its Invoice,
CONTRACTOR shall submit a Monthly Progress Report, in a form determined by SAFE,
which will cover the Invoice period and include spreadsheets showing hours expended for
each day of the month per vehicle per beat, and the total for the term of the Contract to date.
Submission of such Monthly Progress Report by CONTRACTOR shall be a condition
precedent to receipt of payment from SAFE for each monthly Invoice submitted.
APPENDIX B - 9
86
3.17.8.2 Payment Schedule. Invoice periods shall be based upon
a calendar month, beginning with the first day of the month. SAFE shall reimburse
CONTRACTOR for Services adequately provided under this Contract within thirty (30) days of
receiving the current period invoice with no errors. If the Invoice is completed incorrectly by
the CONTRACTOR it will delay payment. If SAFE fails to pay any amount owed to
CONTRACTOR under this Contract within thirty (30) days after receipt of the invoice,
CONTRACTOR may give SAFE a notice of failure to pay which shall set forth the invoice(s)
and amount(s) which CONTRACTOR believes are thirty (30) days overdue. SAFE shall pay
any undisputed invoice(s) and amount(s) within thirty (30) days of receipt of a notice of failure
to pay.
3.17.9 Right to Audit. For the purpose of determining compliance with this
Contract and other matters connected with the performance of CONTRACTOR’s contracts
with third parties, CONTRACTOR and its subcontractors shall each maintain and make
available for inspection all books, documents, papers, accounting records, and other evidence
pertaining to the performance of such contracts, including, but not limited to, the costs of
administering those various contracts. All of the above referenced parties shall make such
materials available at their respective offices at all reasonable times for three years from the
date of final payment of Funds to CONTRACTOR. SAFE, the State of California acting
through the Department of Transportation or its duly authorized representative, the California
State Auditor, or the United States Department of Transportation shall each have access to
any books, records, and documents that are pertinent for audits, examinations, excerpts, and
transactions, and CONTRACTOR shall furnish copies thereof if requested.
3.17.10 Taxes. CONTRACTOR shall pay any sales, use, or other taxes,
if any, attributable to the provision of the Services.
3.17.11 Travel and Subsistence. Payments to CONTRACTOR for travel
and subsistence expenses claimed for reimbursement or applied as local match credit shall
not exceed rates authorized to be paid exempt non-represented State employees under
current State Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) rules. If the rates invoiced are in
excess of those authorized DPA rates, then CONTRACTOR is responsible for the cost
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
APPENDIX B - 10
87
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.
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
APPENDIX B - 11
88
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,
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.
3.19 Status of CONTRACTOR/Subcontractors.
3.19.1 Independent Contractor. The Services shall be performed by
CONTRACTOR or under its supervision. CONTRACTOR will determine the means, methods
and details of performing the Services subject to the requirements of this Contract. SAFE
retains CONTRACTOR on an independent contractor basis and not as an employee, agent or
representative of the SAFE. CONTRACTOR retains the right to perform similar or different
services for others during the term of this Contract. Any additional personnel performing the
Services under this Contract on behalf of CONTRACTOR shall at all times be under
CONTRACTOR's exclusive direction and control. CONTRACTOR shall pay all wages,
salaries and other amounts due such personnel in connection with their performance of
Services and as required by law. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for all reports and
obligations respecting such personnel, including but not limited to, social security taxes,
income tax withholdings, unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and workers'
compensation insurance.
3.19.2 Assignment or Transfer. CONTRACTOR shall not assign,
hypothecate, or transfer, either directly or by operation of law, this Contract or any interest
herein, without the prior written consent of SAFE. Any attempt to do so shall be null and void,
and any assignees, hypothecates or transferees shall acquire no right or interest by reason of
such attempted assignment, hypothecation or transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SAFE
may transfer or assign any and all of its rights and obligations under this Contract, including,
without limitation the rights to terminate this Contract, as assigned, pursuant to Section 3.15
hereof.
APPENDIX B - 12
89
3.19.3 Subcontracting. CONTRACTOR shall not subcontract any portion
of the work or Services required by this Contract, except as expressly stated herein, including
the Scope of Services, without prior written approval of the SAFE. Subcontracts, if any, shall
contain a provision making them subject to all provisions stipulated in this Contract. SAFE
shall have no liability to any subconsultant(s) for payment for services under this Contract or
other work performed for CONTRACTOR, and any subcontract entered into by
CONTRACTOR pursuant to the conduct of services under this Contract shall duly note that
the responsibility for payment for the technical services or any other work performed shall be
the sole responsibility of CONTRACTOR.

equipment, defined as having a useful life of at least two years and an acquisition cost of
$500 or more, paid for with funds provided pursuant to this Contract.

any time, provided that any such use not within the purposes intended by this Contract shall
be at SAFE's sole risk.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION
DATE: April 27, 2015
TO: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee
FROM: Jillian Guizado, Staff Analyst
Brian Cunanan, Commuter and Motorist Assistance Manager
THROUGH: Robert Yates, Multimodal Services Director
SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2015/16 Measure A Commuter Assistance Buspool Subsidy
Funding Continuation Requests
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for the Committee to:
1) Authorize payment of $1,645/month maximum subsidy per buspool for the period
July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016, to the existing Mira Loma, Riverside, and Riverside II
buspools;
2) Require subsidy recipients to meet monthly buspool reporting requirements as
supporting documentation to receive payments; and
3) Forward to the Commission for final action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
As part of the Measure A Commuter Assistance Program, the Commission provides funding
support to buspools used by Riverside County residents for their commutes along the State
Route 91 corridor. The Commission adopted the Measure A buspool subsidy in October 1990
and established a monthly subsidy rate of $1,175 or $25/seat/month in support of commuter
buspool operations. In July 2004, the Commission set the subsidy rate at $35/seat/month
($1,645/month) to help offset increases to operational costs during the previous 14 years. To
provide additional guidance, the Commission also established a minimum buspool ridership
policy in June 1995. The policy requires staff to report to the Commission when a buspool’s
ridership falls to 25 or below and to seek direction regarding the continuation of the buspool’s
subsidy.
DISCUSSION:
Like all commuter assistance incentives provided by the Commission to encourage use of
alternative modes of transportation, the $35/seat/month subsidy is administered as a user end
subsidy. The Commission’s subsidy is an important factor that makes buspools an attractive
alternative for these commuters with roundtrip commutes in excess of 100 miles. Also, the
Commission’s subsidy remains cost-effective compared to the typical public transit subsidy rate
Agenda Item 14
103
of 80 percent. While the monthly cost of each buspool varies according to the number of route
miles and the resulting negotiated service price, the Commission’s monthly subsidy reflects a
subsidy rate of 13 percent.
Average Monthly Buspool
Fare Per Rider
RCTC Subsidy
Per Seat Subsidy Rate
$267 $35 13%
Unlike some of the other Commission-approved ridesharing incentives that have a limited term,
the buspool subsidy is ongoing. To renew its annual subsidy, an existing buspool is required to:
• Request in writing, continuation of funding from the Commission for the new fiscal year;
• Consistently meet minimum ridership requirements; and
• Submit monthly ridership reports throughout the year.
The three existing buspools have completed all the requirements for funding as set forth by the
Commission, including the submittal of monthly ridership reports and annual funding
continuation requests. They have consistently exceeded the minimum ridership level of 25
riders per month and have collectively averaged 29 riders/month/buspool. The traffic and
environmental benefits realized in FY 2014/15 by offering this subsidy are illustrated below:
Buspools Average
Riders/Month

Distance Annual Miles Saved Annual One-Way
Trips Reduced
Mira Loma 27 ~120 mi 810,480 13,508
Riverside 32 ~144 mi 1,162,656 16,148
Riverside II 29 ~200 mi 1,482,800 14,828
Estimated Pounds of Emissions Reduced
32,551
Miles Saved
3,455,936
Trips Reduced
44,484
In reducing the number of vehicles on SR-91 during peak periods, the buspool program saved
more than 3 million miles and 32,551 pounds of vehicle emissions in FY 2014/15.
The buspool subsidy is funded by Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funds and a budget of
$80,000 is proposed for FY 2015/16. Based on the established monthly $1,645/month per
buspool subsidy policy, the funds will support the continuation of the three existing buspools
and the possibility for one new buspool.
