RCTC WRC Programs and Projects Committee Minutes November 27, 2017 Page 2 6. ADDITIONS/REVISIONS There were no additions or revisions to the agenda. 7. AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR RCTC 91 EXPRESS LANES TRAFFIC AND REVENUE STUDY SERVICES Jennifer Crosson, Toll Operations Manager, presented the scope of the amendment to the agreement for RCTC 91 Express Lanes Traffic and Revenue Study Services. The amendment addresses feedback and concerns of customers within the community regarding conditions on the 91 express lanes and 91 corridor. She also presented Stantec’s efforts and plans to improve conditions in those areas. Commissioner Kevin Jefferies mentioned that the I-15 /SR-91 traffic problems have always caused unrest in the community, calling the interchange a failure. Commissioner Jefferies inquired about Stantec’s involvement in the initial design of traffic flow for that interchange; and why the Commission would want to involve Stantec again. Jennifer Crosson explained that Stantec was the consulting firm that helped with the traffic and revenue projections that supported the financing; they helped evaluate vehicle throughput to ensure payment of the debt service. At this time, Executive Director Anne Mayer confirmed Jennifer Crosson’s comment regarding the traffic and revenue studies. Anne Mayer explained that the project was established by the 91 Major Investment Study, which included many improvement projects for the 91. The project that was built added 2 additional lanes of traffic, but still does not accommodate the capacity on the corridor. It was known that the project would take the corridor from one level of service of “F” to another. Unfortunately, now, all Riverside county projects on this corridor, with constantly increasing traffic, congestion is nearly back to pre-project levels. The 91 project has added significant capacity to the 91 corridor; traffic demand calls for 22 lanes on the 91 corridor, which will never be possible to build. Anne Mayer called the 91 corridor a significant and important project in need of revisions, but the project is working as intended, even if not to the satisfaction of everyone who travels the corridor. Commissioner Jefferies replied, that while the project is working as intended on the 91, it is not working as envisioned on the I-15, seeing as backups used to start at Cajalco Road, but now backup in the city of Lake Elsinore at Lake street. Commuters now get off the 91, driving through the city of Corona, and getting back on at Ontario, just to get back onto the toll lanes. Anne Mayer acknowledged Commissioner Jefferies’s position and the frustration of all commuters who travel the corridor. Anne Mayer explained that Stantec’s modelling can RCTC WRC Programs and Projects Committee Minutes November 27, 2017 Page 3 only provide predictions and recommendations based on proposed plans on the 91 corridor, but cannot provide a definitive solution to congestion on the 15 or where a congestion bottleneck will be pushed next, outside of the corridor. Stantec’s involvement cannot solve the deficiencies caused outside the corridor, but can provide information needed for the Commission to decide on what investments to make. Commissioner Neil Winter asked about the congestion times mentioned in the presentation, noting that on Friday, traffic patterns likely shift due to commuters working partial days and leaving early. Commissioner Winter asked what type of congestion is seen on the toll roads as compared to being off the toll road in the general lanes. Jennifer Crosson answered that in the westbound direction, general lanes quickly get stopped, resulting in toll travelers waiting to get into toll lanes, where they can pass travelers stopped in the general lane backups. By raising tolls, some toll users are pushed into general lanes; this does not improve the congestion on the corridor, so much as improve wait-time and traffic flow for those who continue to pay the higher toll fees. Commissioner Winter followed up, stating that if Stantec or another company is contracted to conduct further analysis, it should be for the purpose of finding a solution to balance out the traffic between paying lanes and non-paying lanes. In addition, it seems pointless to have travelers pay premium price for passage, only to wait in traffic anyway. He stated his support would be dependent upon the goal of the analysis and cost of the analysis. Commissioner Winter, Commissioner Jefferies, and Jennifer Crosson made various comments on the impact of traffic on daily commuters. Commissioner Karen Spiegel challenged that despite only being open for eight months, another study is needed. The opposition of daily commuters are rising, and the commission proposes to delay addressing this, until after this proposed six month study. Commissioner Spiegel recognized that even small changes take time and must go through Caltrans, but insisted that something should be done to address the rising frustration of commuters and make some improvement to the corridor. Six months is simply too long to wait to address rising tension from commuters passing through Corona. Anne Mayer replied that all “easy” options have been considered. Beyond that, analysis needs to be done because it is unwise to invest public money to revise the corridors with no data to reference; without data, the commission has no way of knowing if the revisions will have any impact, let alone positive impact of traffic flow on this corridor. Vice Chair Rush called on Commissioner Brian Berkson who mentioned that being a commuter, his year old car has 37,000 miles on it. Having travelling experience on the 91, he recognizes the benefit of a company like Stantec providing “common sense-like” RCTC WRC Programs and Projects Committee Minutes November 27, 2017 Page 4 recommendations on current issues. However no matter what studies are done, once the I-15 express lanes are built, traffic dynamics will change, revealing new flow patterns and entirely different issues. Commissioner Berkson mentioned his advocacy for some modelling that can be quick, and provide a decisive and direct solution to the issues. Commissioner Berkson then asked staff specifically about traffic an unfinished lane near the 15/91; asking why it is not in operation and what effect it will have on traffic movement. David Thomas, Toll Project Manager, explained the lane is not in its final configuration; the lane is ready to be completed, but was delayed due to a settlement and the holiday season. The lane will be reconfigured and paved during a 55-hour closure on the first weekend in January, and should be open for full capacity in February, totaling four lanes in that location. At this time, Commissioner Marion Ashley commented on the January Commission workshop, mentioning that it may be worthwhile, to reevaluate the tunnel as an option to alleviate traffic. Anne Mayer then mentioned that information regarding tunnel analysis, status, and decisions made by the State Route 91 Advisory Committee, can be provided at the January workshop. Commissioner Jefferies agreed with the before mentioned frustration with the timeline for Stantec’s analysis, which may only provide common-sense recommendations. He voiced confusion the analysis’s necessity if, actions can already be taken; asking, why the Commission should wait for this analysis modelling, and let tensions rise, if there may be another short term solution. Anne Mayer then clarified the contract with Stantec, the necessity for the analysis, and the intent of this agreement amendment. Commissioner Winter requested monthly reports on this amendment, to keep the Commission current on the progress of the analysis and Stantec’s findings. Commissioner Spiegel added that many constituents are angry over the 15/91 traffic issue, and something needs to be done. Commissioner Spiegel asked if all input and offered ideas are being considered and discussed in regards to bottle-neck issues Green River Road and Ontario. Stating that even if such suggestions do not work, it is important that they are heard and considered. Anne Mayer answered affirmatively to Commissioner Spiegel’s inquiry, mentioning that all ideas are being considered and discussed. Options are being presented by team members, Caltrans, partners at OCTA, city of Corona staff, as well as residents, RCTC WRC Programs and Projects Committee Minutes November 27, 2017 Page 5 commuters, toll users, city representatives, community groups, and the Commission is considering all of them.

Evaluation of Change including whether TSP considers any RCTC-Initiated Change to constitute a Change and the specific provision(s) of this Contract which permit a Change Order (Section 20.4.3(a)(i)): B. Overview of scope of Change (Section 20.4.3(a)(iii)). For detailed scope of Change, please complete the Change Response Price Form: The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) plans to construct a new connector (Express Lanes  Connector ‐ ELC) between the SR‐91 Express Lanes and the future I‐15 Express Lanes (ELP). The ELC will consist  of one express lane in each direction facilitating a direct east‐to‐north and south‐to‐west connection between  the recently opened 91 Express Lanes extension and the future express lanes on I‐15. The ELC will allow 91  Express Lanes customers and 15 Express Lanes customers to make a continuous trip between the two express  lane facilities.   The construction of the ELC will create new destinations accessible from the 91 Express Lanes and 15 Express  Lanes.  The I‐15 Express Lanes (ELP) system shall be modified to allow for a new inter‐facility pricing strategy.  Given the access configuration and location of toll points on the 91 Express Lanes and the 15 Express Lanes,  customers using the ELC will be required to use the RCTC segment of the 91 Express Lanes and one segment of  the 15 Express Lanes (ELP). Prices for ELC transactions shall be combined with the RCTC 91 Express Lanes  segment and the 15 Express Lanes segment, creating an inter‐facility pricing zone.   Pricing between the 91 Express Lanes and the 15 Express Lanes will require an interface between the 91 and 15  toll systems to collect and exchange entry time data. For example, the 91 system would need to know the time  that ELC users saw the 91 price so that the appropriate toll could be charged.   The ELC pricing strategy is illustrated in Figure 1. This strategy introduces a new pricing zone that encompasses  the RCTC segment of the 91 Express Lanes and the entirety of the 15 Express Lanes so that the price to the  travel to the ends of the 15 Express Lanes would be displayed at the 91 County Line and the price to travel to  the 91 County Line would be displayed on 15 Express Lanes signs. The introduction of the ELC requires that  dynamic prices for the 15 Express Lanes be displayed on the 91 Express Lanes.    After trips from the 91, the ELC and the ELP have been full formed into a single trip for purposes of toll  assignment the 91 portion of the trips shall be sent to the 91 CSC for processing, and the ELC and ELP portion of  the trip shall be sent to the I‐15 CSC. Revenue for 91, the ELC and the 15 express lanes shall be tracked  separately.    21   Riverside County Transportation Commission I-15 Express Lanes Project – Toll Services   3  The TSP shall incorporate the design for the interfacility trip pricing strategy that provides customers with the  price to travel to the end of an express lane facility and include starting with the Critical Design Document t and  Critical Design Review for the I‐15 Express Lanes Project (ELP).    The following Technical Provision Section may be impacted.  1.  TP Section 7.3.7.2, Dynamic Pricing ‐ will be modified to include dynamic pricing on the ELC and  impacts of interfacility trips and ELC Dynamic Pricing on the I‐15 Dynamic Pricing.   2. TP Section 7.3.7.8, ‐  Express Lane Trip Building – will be modified to account for interfacility trip  building.  3. TP Section 7.3.7.9 – Toll Rate Assignment will be modified to create need to price lock trips from the 91  to the 15 and vice versa.  4. TP Section 7.2.6 ‐  Variable Toll Message Signs will be modified to include three price destinations.     5. A new TP Section will be added to Section 6., “Systems Interface” for an ICD between the 91 and the 15  to allow portions for interfacility trips be sent to the 91 CSC for processing.    22   Riverside County Transportation Commission I-15 Express Lanes Project – Toll Services   4  Figure 1: Recommended Pricing Strategy    C.

_____________________________ 35 AGENDA ITEM 9 Agenda Item 9  RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION  DATE: February 26, 2018  TO: Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee  FROM: Reinland Jones, Toll Technology Manager  THROUGH: Michael Blomquist, Toll Program Director  SUBJECT: Authorization to Use Public Utilities Code § 130238 for the Procurement of  FasTrak® 6C Transponders     STAFF RECOMMENDATION:    This item is for the Committee to:    1) Make a finding, by a two‐thirds vote, that the procurement of the new 6C transponders,  as further described herein, qualifies for use of the Commission’s procurement authority  under Public Utilities Code (PUC) § 130238 (Specialized Equipment Law);   2) Authorize the Executive Director, on behalf of the Commission, to undertake a  procurement, including issuance of Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 18‐31‐094‐00, to  procure 6C transponders using the Commission’s procurement authority under the  Specialized Equipment Law;   3) Authorize the Executive Director or designee to act on behalf of the Commission for all  purposes under PUC § 130238; and  4) Forward to the Commission for final action.     BACKGROUND INFORMATION:  Project Description    California’s toll transponder technology is prescribed by state regulation, referred to as Title 21,  which is managed by Caltrans.  In 2017, Caltrans amended the state regulation to change the  transponder technology from the protocol, which has been in place since 1993 to a new  technology referred to as 6C.  This amendment was supported by Commission staff and all other  operating California toll agencies.  The state mandate is to begin transitioning to the 6C  technology by January 1, 2019.  The 6C technology is battery‐free, thereby reducing the cost  significantly, and allows California to use the same technology as other states in the western  region of the United States.     The 6C technology comes in two forms: sticker or hard case switchable.  The sticker transponder  is low cost and can be used by customers who do not have the need to declare the number of  persons in a vehicle for the purposes of receiving a carpool discount.  The hard case transponder  is higher cost, but expected to be less than the current hard case switchable.  While a two‐switch  36 Agenda Item 9  position 6C transponder is available in the market, the three‐switch position needed in California  is under development.    The Commission needs to procure the new 6C technology for use on the 91 Express Lanes and   I‐15 Express Lanes.  The 91 Express Lanes intends to issue the new transponders in early 2019 to  reduce operating costs and advance the new technology.    To provide the Commission with the best overall value by transponder type and the ability to  address delivery issues that the selection of a single vendor by low bid procurement may present,  staff is requesting authority to procure 6C transponders under the Specialized Equipment Law.   The Commission authorized the use of the Specialized Equipment Law in December 2015 for use  in the procurement of the I‐15 Express Lanes Toll Services Provider for the project’s systems  integration and toll operations.    Procurement Approach    RFP No. 18‐31‐094‐00 is intended to procure 6C transponders using the Commission’s  procurement authority under the Specialized Equipment Law.  The objective of the solicitation is  for the Commission to enter into contracts with a bench of qualified vendors (bench) determined  to provide the best value to the Commission for the purchase of 6C transponders and handheld  readers.  Specifically, the Commission will need to purchase the following items, sometimes  referred to, collectively, in this staff report as the “Technological Equipment”:     Interior sticker transponders;   Tamper proof interior sticker transponders;   External sticker transponders;    Interior 2‐switch position transponder;   Interior 3‐switch position transponders; and   Handheld readers for testing.    The bench established for each item above will be ranked through the procurement evaluation  process.  Once awarded, and depending on the needs of the Commission, vendors will have the  opportunity to respond to a Commission order request based on their ranking, starting with the  top ranked vendor.  If the top ranked vendor is unable to meet the criteria for a particular order  request, the Commission will go to the second highest ranked vendor and so on.  The criteria for  determining the vendor for a particular order request will be:     Change proposals;   Fulfillment/Delivery time; and   Quality.  37 Agenda Item 9  Specialized Equipment Law  The Specialized Equipment Law falls under the Commission’s enabling legislation.  For the  Commission to use the Specialized Equipment Law to supply the Technological Equipment, a  finding must be made by a two‐thirds vote of the Commission that the proposed procurement  qualifies under the Specialized Equipment Law.    The Specialized Equipment Law allows “best value”, rather than low‐bid, for certain  procurements.  Under Public Utilities Code § 130238, subsection (a), the legislature has found  that it may be in the public interest to consider factors other than price for procurements  “(2)…[of] products and materials which are undergoing rapid technological changes, and (3) for  the introduction of new technological changes into the operations of the commission”.  Staff  believes that the Technological Equipment qualifies as products undergoing rapid technological  changes and as items introducing new technological changes into the operations of the  Commission.  If the Specialized Equipment Law does not apply, then the Commission would be  required to procure these items under Public Utilities Code § 130232, which requires a low‐bid  procurement process for supplies, equipment, and materials in excess of $25,000.  The factors, other than price, that may be considered under the Specialized Equipment Law  include “…vendor financing, performance reliability, standardization, life‐cycle costs, delivery  timetables, support logistics, and the broadest possible range of competing products and  materials available, fitness of purchase, manufacturer's warranty, and similar factors in the award  of contracts for these vehicles and equipment.”    Subsection (b) provides that the Specialized Equipment Law may be utilized for purchase of  “computers, telecommunications equipment, fare collections equipment, microwave  equipment, and other related electronic equipment and apparatus” but “does not apply to  contracts for construction or for the procurement of any product available in substantial  quantities to the general public.”    Staff believes that the Technological Equipment qualifies as fare collections equipment,  microwave equipment and other related electronic equipment and is not available in substantial  quantities to the general public.  Staff and legal counsel further believe that the underlying  rationale for allowing competitive negotiations applies to the Technological Equipment, and the  terminology used in the statute appears to be broad enough to include the Technological  Equipment.  Should the Commission find the Specialized Equipment Law applies by the required  two‐thirds vote, the procurement for the Technological Equipment will need to address certain  statutory requirements under the Specialized Equipment Law, including:   The relevant procurement documents shall be prepared and submitted to an adequate  number of qualified sources, as determined by the Commission, to permit reasonable  competition consistent with the nature and requirement of the procurement;  38 Agenda Item 9   Notice of the procurement and request for submissions shall be published at least twice  in a newspaper of general circulation, at least 10 days before the deadline for receipt of  submissions;   The Commission shall make every effort to generate the maximum feasible number of  proposals from qualified sources and shall make a finding to that effect before proceeding  to negotiate if only a single response to the RFP is received;   The procurement documents shall identify all significant evaluation factors, including  price, and their relative importance;   The Commission shall provide reasonable procedures for technical evaluation of the  proposals received, identification of qualified sources, and selection for contract award;   Award shall be made to the qualified proposer whose proposal will be most advantageous  to the Commission with price and all other factors considered; and   If award is not made to the bidder whose proposal contains the lowest price, the  Commission shall make a finding setting forth the basis for the award.  In this case, the Commission intends to award multiple contracts to establish a bench, with  specific orders to be awarded to the most qualified proposer for the item of Technological  Equipment required, based on the ranking established as part of the procurement.  If award of  any particular order is not made to the lowest priced vendor on the bench, a finding for the basis  of award shall be made by the Executive Director, or her designee, and included in the project  files.    Staff Recommendation  Staff recommends the Commission make the required finding by a two‐thirds vote for use of the  Specialized Equipment Law and authorize the Executive Director, on behalf of the Commission,  to undertake a procurement process, including issuance of RFP No. 18‐31‐094‐00, to procure the  Technological Equipment using the Commission’s contract authority under the Specialized  Equipment Law.  There is no financial impact, as there is no budget authority commitment at this time.  Following  the procurement process, staff recommendations will be presented to the Commission for  approval of contract awards.    39 Reinland Jones, Toll Technology Manager Authorization to use Public Utilities Code §130238 for the Procurement of FasTrak 6C Transponders RFP Number 18-31-094-00

On March 20, 2017, the RCTC 91 Express Lanes commenced operation.  Pre‐opening marketing  activities for the RCTC 91 Express Lanes were minimal as the new extension operates under the  well‐established 91 Express Lanes brand.  A pre‐opening customer education campaign was  provided by the 91 Project public outreach consultant.  Following the opening of the RCTC 91  Express Lanes an advertising campaign was provided by a marketing firm under contract to  Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA).      In early 2019, the 91 Express Lanes will be transitioning to new transponder technology as  mandated by a change to state law.  In order to do so, the Commission in partnership with OCTA,  needs to develop a customer communication campaign including collateral materials in order to  carry out the transponder technology transition.  While OCTA is currently leading the effort for  general 91 Express Lanes advertising, staff identified the need for advertising and promotional  work specific to users of the RCTC 91 Express Lanes.     In mid‐2020, the 15 Express Lanes will open for revenue commencement followed by the newly  funded 15/91 Express Lanes Connector.  With the addition of the 15 Express Lanes and 15/91  Express Lanes Connector, staff identified several needs related to marketing services.  Unlike the  40 Agenda Item 10  91 Express Lanes, the 15 Express Lanes are in need of branding and logo development.  The  opening of new express lanes will introduce new tolling concepts, which requires research and  testing to ensure signage and other communication materials are effective.  As the network of  express lanes expands in Riverside County, it is important to understand the user market and  identify potential users.  Therefore, staff has included market research in this marketing services  agreement as a basis for the pre‐opening advertising campaign.     In order to meet the growing needs of the Commission’s express lanes, staff is recommending  that the Commission enter into an agreement for the following marketing services with   Sherry Matthews:     Market Plan and Strategy Development   Branding and Concept Design   Branding and Concept Design Production   Advertising   Public Relations     Sherry Matthews is a full‐service marketing firm with extensive toll and express lanes experience  in all areas of the proposed scope of services.  Approval of this recommended agreement with  Sherry Matthews will provide the Commission with the experience and expertise to effectively  communicate with customers, make well informed decisions regarding toll operations, help meet  traffic and revenue goals, and provide a positive customer experience.     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 express lanes marketing  services as set forth under the terms of the request for proposals (RFP) No. 18‐31‐047‐00.

The work performed under this contract shall support RCTC in its delivery of each Express Lanes goal and the education of customers and potential future customers and key Commission stakeholders on various elements of the Express Lanes operations. Consultant shall support RCTC in its efforts to deliver a consistent and effective message while providing solutions to potentially-conflicting messages amongst RCTC operated express lanes and those operated by other toll agencies. Consultant shall also provide solutions to integrating key regional or statewide messaging and marketing efforts into RCTC’s express lanes communications. The RCTC owned and operated Express Lanes and each California toll agency has unique policies and operational features that require tailored communication to customers. RCTC is also a member of the California Toll Operators Committee (CTOC), a coalition that coordinates toll matters of common interests statewide, including marketing and communications. RCTC is committed to delivering a high level of customer service and to provide motorists with the information necessary to easily utilize its own and other California toll facilities. The Commission opened the 91 Express Lanes in March of 2017 and is estimated to open the 15 Express Lanes in 2020 and the 15/91 Express Lanes Connector between 2020 to 2023. The estimated budget for these services is anticipated to be $3.5M for a seven-year period. The work to be performed under this contract will be task based. As each of the Express Lanes projects are in different stages of operation or future operation the tasks will vary for each project. A summary of the anticipated Scope of Services as it applies to each project is as follows: 91 Express Lanes The brand and image of the 91 Express Lanes is well established and advertising is currently being performed through a contractor to OCTA. It is anticipated that the 91 Express Lanes will continue to be advertised in this manner. Work related to the 91 Express Lanes will likely include focus groups (Task 1.1) to encourage account growth or obtain customer feedback regarding tolling concepts, development of key messaging (Task 2.2 and Task 3), development and production of communication (Task 3.1) and public relations (Task 5). 61 17336.00000\8752982.3 15 Express Lanes The 15 Express Lanes construction and toll system development are currently underway. In order to advance elements of both construction and toll system development, Task 2 and 3 branding and concept design with production will likely occur immediately following execution of the contract. The 15 Express Lane will require a market analysis (Task 1.2) to inform the advertising and public relations work. The Consultant may also be tasked with conducting focus groups or performing other research methods (Task 1.1) related to proposed operation concepts or on road signage. The Consultant will perform work under Tasks 4 and 5 prior to and following the opening of the Express Lane to assist in meeting traffic projections and to assist with the education of customers and potential future customers on how to use the Express Lanes. 15/91 Express Lanes Connector The 15/91 Express Lanes Connector will likely adopt the branding of one of the preceding Express Lanes and will not require work under Task 2.1, but will likely require an expansion of key messaging and the creation of related media (Task 2.2 and Task 3). Advertising (Task 4) and Public Relations (Task 5) may occur independent of the 15 Express Lane or jointly depending on the timing of the anticipated opening. 2.0 Standard Tasks Task 1 Market Plan and Strategy 1.1 Conduct focus groups or other research methods to assist with the formulation of marketing, customer communications, education, on road signage and to gain potential user perspective on specific tolling concepts. 1.2 Perform and deliver a market analysis which analyzes current and potential customer demographics, determining existing FasTrak® accountholder penetration, and providing information to be used for targeted promotions, advertising and outreach efforts. 1.3 Deliver a marketing plan for pre-opening and post-opening activities. Task 2 Branding and Concept Design 2.1 Develop creative concepts including, but not limited to, logo, color scheme, artwork, and customer service website graphic template. 2.2 Develop key messaging including, but not limited to Frequently Asked Questions, customer brochures, collateral materials, California Toll Operator Committee communications, transponder retail program materials, photographs, diagrams, maps and videos. 62 17336.00000\8752982.3 Task 3 Branding and Concept Design Production 3.1 Develop and produce communication using the concepts designed in Task 2 for a variety of mediums including print, video, direct mail, television, radio, email, social media, billboards, signs and websites. Provide materials in both English and Spanish as required. 3.2 Develop and produce a series of educational or promotional videos including a “How it Works” video for the RCTC Express Lanes network. Task 4 Advertising 4.1 Create all materials needed for the placement of advertisements (radio, TV, billboard, mailers, etc.). 4.2 Place, manage and adjust as appropriate, all advertisements and media buys. 4.3 Locate and coordinate special accountholder promotions within Riverside County. Task 5 Public Relations 5.1 Coordinate with other RCTC departments and CTOC member agencies to deliver Express Lane messaging and train other support staff. 5.2 Identify and attend outreach events providing all staff, equipment and materials needed. 5.3 Provide outreach toolkits to be used by others at outreach events.             63 17336.00000\8752982.3 EXHIBIT "B" SCHEDULE OF SERVICES [___INSERT___] 64 17336.00000\8752982.3 EXHIBIT "C" COMPENSATION [___INSERT___] 65 Jennifer Crosson, Toll Operations Manager Express Lanes Marketing Services Agreement Agreement Number 18-31-047-00 Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee February 26, 2018 Scope of Work •Market Plan and Strategy Development •Branding and Concept Design •Branding and Concept Design Production •Advertising •Public Relations Marketing Services Procurement Upcoming Activities Marketing Services Procurement Base Contract (Years 1-3) Options (Years 4-7) 91 One Year Anniversary X 6C Transition X 15 Express Lanes Development X 15 Express Lanes Opening X 91/15 Express Connector Development X 91/15 Express Connector Opening X 91 Back Office Transition X Contract Value Express Lanes Marketing Procurement Base Contract (Years 1-3) Options (Years 4-7) Market Plan and Strategy $200,000 $110,000 Branding Concept Design $300,000 $160,000 Branding and Concept Production $500,000 $210,000 Advertising $1,300,000 $400,000 Public Relations $200,000 $120,000 Total $2,500,000 $1,000,000 Procurement Method Weighted Factor Method •Firm Qualifications •Personnel Qualifications •Approach to Performing Work •Price Marketing Services Procurement Proposer Summary •Six Firms Submitted Proposals •Short-Listed Two Firms •Interviews Held •Selection Made Marketing Services Procurement Sherry Matthews, Inc. •Extensive current toll and express lanes experience •Full-service firm •Proposed team has worked together on previous toll and express lane projects •Tenured staff •Excellent references from long-term clients •Solid approach to the 15 Express Lanes marketing campaign Marketing Services Procurement Staff Recommendation •Award Agreement No. 18-31-047-00 to Sherry Matthews, Inc., DBA Sherry Matthews Advocacy Marketing, for express lanes marketing services for a three-year term, and two two-year options to extend the agreement, in an amount of $3,500,000, plus a contingency amount of $350,000, for a total amount not to exceed $3,850,000; •Authorize the Chair or Executive Director, pursuant to legal counsel review, to execute the agreement, including option years, on behalf of the Commission; •Authorize the Executive Director or designee to approve the use of the contingency amount as may be required for these services; and •Forward to the Commission for final action.

potential impacts to toll revenue.  69 Michael Blomquist, Toll Program Director Sheldon Mar, Consultant Project Manager FINE TUNING THE 91 CORRIDOR Western Riverside County Programs and Projects Committee Meeting February 26, 2018 Today’s Presentation •Recap of decision criteria and Commission’s toll rate policy •91 westbound at county line –Results of traffic operation analysis for seven options •Results planned for the next WRCPP meeting RCTC’s Toll Rate Policy The 91 at County Line Current Traffic Counts Option 1 Option 2 Option 3 Option 4 Option 5 Option 6 Modeling Assumptions •Existing weekday morning modeled (Monday to Thursday) •Volumes constant in all scenarios –same GP, same Express •EL utilization: truly will re-balance if GP conditions improve •Corridor traffic: should expect an overall increase •Allows for an apples to apples view of all scenarios •GP vehicles will use weave lanes if unrestricted Westbound Traffic Flow Options Scenario Global Throughput GP

Option 3 (EL Weave Lane)Makes EL significantly worse due to spillback from egress. New bottleneck at end of weaving lane. Option 4 (additional GP between Green River and 241) Improves GP significantly Improves EL but due to GP improvement (not inherently an EL improvement). •Option 4b (remove Green River Road ramp meter) Improves Green River Road trip to SR 91. Assumes Option 4’s additional lane between Green River and 241 GP lanes degraded slightly vs. Option 4 without meter. Safety considerations –ramp dropping from 3 down to 1 lane Option 5 (additional GP between 71 and 241)Improves GP slightly more than Option 4 Improves EL but due to GP improvement (not inherently an EL improvement). Option 6 (Opt 3+4, EL weave lane plus additional GP between Green River and 241) Improves GP the most of all options. Makes EL significantly worse due to spillback from egress. Results Planned for Next Meeting •Traffic operation analysis –I-15 northbound express lane entrance –two options –Existing condition at the 91 westbound at county line with ramp meters off at Green River Rd. on-ramp •Toll revenue analysis –91 westbound at the county line –options 1 and 4 AGENDA ITEM 13 Agenda Item 13  RIVERSIDE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION  DATE: February 26, 2018
