DISCUSSION The work under this agreement has progressed to completion of the final design phase with procurement of materials currently underway and construction scheduled to begin in April 2016. During the final design phase, additional details have come to light and are being recommended by staff to be added to the scope. Additional scope items that need to progress now to maintain the project schedule are presented in the table below and are considered outside the scope of the original agreement. Additional scope items pertaining to toll collection software development have been identified and will be brought to the Commission at a later date as an additional contract amendment request. Agenda Item 7 1 The video wall item, identified in the table below, is a cost borne by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and has received OCTA board approval for inclusion into the project. As part of the existing agreement between the Commission and OCTA, OCTA has the ability to request additions to the project at its cost. Staff recommends OCTA’s addition of the video wall upgrade at the Anaheim Traffic Operations Center for the joint benefit of both agencies operating the 91 Express Lanes.

Financial Information In Fiscal Year Budget: Yes Year: FY 2015/16 Amount: $837,930 Source of Funds: Toll Revenue Bond proceeds Budget Adjustment: No GL/Project Accounting No.: 003028 81301 262 31 81301 Fiscal Procedures Approved: Date: 10/19/2015 Agenda Item 7 2 AGENDA ITEM 8 RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DATE: October 26, 2015 TO: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee FROM: Shirley Medina, Planning and Programming Director THROUGH: John Standiford, Deputy Executive Director SUBJECT: Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Regional Arterial Program – Project Delivery Update STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This item is for the Committee to: 1) Receive and file the Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) Regional Arterial Program - Project Delivery Update; and 2) Forward to the Commission for final action. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2004, the Commission approved a total of 23 projects for Western Riverside County TUMF Regional Arterial Program funding. During the last few years, the Commission approved adjustments to the original 23 TUMF Regional Arterial projects at the request of the local agencies. The changes were primarily due to the lack of revenues as a result of the recent recession and environmental challenges. Therefore, a few projects were suspended, and the programmed funds were transferred to existing projects that were in need of additional funds, or new projects were nominated in place of projects that could not move forward due to environmental challenges and increased costs associated with these challenges. This resulted in a total of 19 projects continuing in the program; these projects are summarized in the attachment. To date, the Commission has programmed a total of $135 million, and project expenditures total $95 million. Of the 19 projects in the TUMF Regional Arterial Program, 10 have completed construction, 4 projects are under construction, and 5 projects are in the preliminary engineering phase. Three of the projects in the preliminary engineering phase will require a future programming action for construction funds. These projects are the I-15/Limonite Avenue interchange, I-15/Railroad Canyon Road interchange, and Van Buren Boulevard widening from Washington Street to Wood Road. Estimated construction costs for all three projects are estimated at over $80 million. Programming capacity at the end of fiscal year 2015/16 is currently estimated at $18 million. Agenda Item 8 3 The Commission approves programming/funding one phase at a time to maximize cash flow. When an agency completes a phase (e.g. environmental, design, right of way), the next phase will be programmed and an agreement for that phase will be executed. Some local agencies requested TUMF regional arterial funds for a particular phase(s), but funded other phases with non-TUMF Regional Arterial funds. Therefore, the project’s TUMF commitment would be considered complete. The Commission approved one developer credit reimbursement agreement with the city of Corona in the amount of $3,051,636. The Commission originally set aside 5 percent for developer credit reimbursements on an annual basis, but increased it to 10 percent to accommodate a larger than anticipated repayment amount. The balance of $1,416,646 will be paid based on 10 percent of the budgeted amount for TUMF Regional Arterial revenues on an annual basis. Since the majority of TUMF Regional Arterial projects have been completed, the Commission will need to consider the next cycle of projects. The Western Riverside Council of Governments’ TUMF Zones include projects on the regional arterial system. Staff is discussing the possibility of shifting some of these projects to the TUMF Regional Arterial program. Staff will develop and recommend an approach and phase-in process for the inclusion of additional regional arterial projects in a future agenda item.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Commission owns and operates five commuter rail stations and the Perris Transit Center in Riverside County. Additionally, three new Commission-owned and operated Perris Valley Line (PVL) stations and the rail portion of the Perris Transit Center will begin operations in December 2015. Station lighting and electrical maintenance services are essential to provide continued safety and security for commuter rail passengers, as well as preserving and maintaining the Commission’s property. The Commission requires the services of a qualified contractor to provide quarterly electrical and lighting maintenance services, annual solar panel and battery-backed emergency lighting systems maintenance and testing, tri-annual infrared survey and reporting, and on-call Agenda Item 9 6 electrical and lighting maintenance services, which includes the cleaning of station lights and the repair or replacement of all defective lighting system components and fixtures. Under Commission supervision, quarterly field inspections will be conducted at each station for a fixed price in order to identify all necessary repairs. Based upon the successful contractor’s proposed labor rates, equipment costs, material costs, and associated markup, the contractor will then clean, repair, and/or replace all broken or defective lighting and remedy any electrical issues identified during the quarterly inspection. Alternatively, on-call services would be used on an as-needed basis and provided through the Commission’s issuance of a contract task order to address repairs required between quarterly inspections. Pricing for work completed on an on-call basis will also be based upon fixed labor rates and a pre-established markup on materials. Staff also identified additional electrical lighting capital improvements that will be funded with Proposition 1B Public Transportation, Modernization, Improvement, and Service Enhancement Account (PTMISEA) grant funds. The improvements consist of the conversion of all lighting elements at the existing stations and the new PVL stations, including the Perris Transit Center, from high pressure sodium, metal halide, halogen, incandescent, and fluorescent elements to LED lighting elements, substantially reducing energy consumption, carbon footprint, and lighting maintenance costs. 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 electrical services as set forth under the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. 16-24-005-00. RFP No. 16-24-005-00 for commuter rail station electrical services was released by staff on August 6, 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 45 firms, ten of which are located in Riverside County. Through the PlanetBids site, ten firms downloaded the RFP; two of these firms are located in Riverside County. A pre-bid conference was held on August 19 and attended by one firm. Staff responded to all questions submitted by potential proposers prior to the August 25 clarification deadline date. Three firms – Baker Electric (Escondido); Elite Electric, Inc. (Riverside); and Wesco Electric (Torrance) – submitted proposals prior to the 2:00 p.m. submittal deadline on September 3. Two of the three firms were determined to have submitted responsive and responsible proposals. Utilizing the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP, the two firms were evaluated and scored by an evaluation committee comprised of Commission and Bechtel staff.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Station pest control services are an important component in providing a safe environment for the commuter rail passengers as well as preserving and maintaining the Commission’s property investments. This is especially important at the new Perris Valley Line stations which are located in previously vacant acreage and where the incidence of animal pests moving around the stations may be more prevalent. Staff recommends approval of pest control services for the five Commission owned commuter rail stations – Riverside Downtown, La Sierra, North Main Corona, Pedley, West Corona, and the Perris Transit Center, and extension of these services for the three new stations – Moreno Valley/March Field, Riverside Hunter Park and South Perris. Agenda Item 10 27 Procurement Process On September 3, 2015, the Commission sent out an informal Invitation for Quote (IFQ) No. 16-24-015-00 for station pest control services. The IFQ was emailed to six firms listed on the PlanetBids website, two of which are located in Riverside County. Staff responded to all questions submitted by potential bidders prior to the September 10 clarification deadline date. On September 17, two bids were received from Global Pest Solutions (Riverside) and Pest Options Inc. (Anaheim). The basis for award for this IFQ is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder as defined by the Commission’s procurement policy and state law. The bid analysis determined that the lowest responsible and responsive bidder is Global Pest Solutions with a bid amount of $28,980 for bi-monthly services. This is an on-call agreement, which consists of fixed prices for routine bi-monthly maintenance services, labor rates, and miscellaneous pest control services. On a bi-monthly basis, the contractor will perform routine pest control maintenance for the Commission-owned commuter rail stations. Outside of the routine pest control maintenance, on-call services estimated at $5,796 will be provided through the Commission’s issuance of contract task orders on an as-needed basis. The contractor is not subject to compensation for on-call task order work until such work is approved by staff. Staff oversight of the contract will maximize the effectiveness of the consultant and minimize costs to the Commission. Staff also recommends a 10 percent contingency of $3,478 for pest control services. Staff recommends award of Agreement No. 16-24-015-00 for station pest control services to Global Pest Solutions with bi-monthly maintenance services to begin in February 2016. The Commission’s standard form professional services agreement will be entered into with the consultant, subject to any changes approved by the Executive Director, and pursuant to legal counsel review.

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 through a formula based on population, urban freeway lane miles, and levels of congestion. The Commission, acting in its capacity as the RC SAFE, is the principal agency in Riverside County, in partnership with Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol, 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 Agenda Item 11 49 and facilitate the rapid removal of disabled vehicles and those involved in minor accidents on local freeways. 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 FY 2014/15, FSP performed over 42,000 assists. DISCUSSION: In October 2015, the Commission received the attached fund transfer agreement from Caltrans for FY 2015/16. Caltrans funding agreements are reimbursement-based and allow for the carryover of contract balances not expended in the agreement’s stated fiscal year. This allows the Commission to fully expend allocated amounts and also helps to accommodate the timing of the Caltrans allocation release, which is typically later during the fiscal year for which it is intended. The table below summarizes the use of these funding agreements by fiscal year: Amount Expended Caltrans Funding Agreement No. FY 2010/11 FY 2011/12 FY 2012/13 FY 2013/14 FY 2014/15 FY 2015/16 10-45-036-00 ($1,657,171) $1,464,528 11-45-105-00 ($1,577,721) $303,402 $1,274,319 12-45-068-00 ($1,653,564) $536,958 $1,116,606 13-45-075-00 ($1,606,567) $621,880 $984,687 14-45-084-00 ($1,557,104) $782,185 $774,919 15-45-027-00 ($1,635,846) $1,107,166 $528,680 The Caltrans funding agreement for FY 2015/16 provides for continued state funding in the amount of $1,559,523. The Commission will fund the required local match of $399,881 with RC SAFE revenues. As with prior funding agreements, any state funds not claimed in the current fiscal year will be carried over and claimed in FY 2016/17. A budget adjustment is not required and upon approval of this agenda item, the Commission will execute this fund transfer agreement with Caltrans.
