Metro LA CRD (ExpressLanes) Program March 2011 Quarterly Project Status Report
PROGRAM OVERVIEW & STATUS Metro, Caltrans, and other mobility partners are working together to develop a package of solutions that will increase traffic flow and provide better travel options on I- 10 and I- 1 10 in Los Angeles County. ExpressLanes is a one-year demonstration program that will test innovations to improve existing transportation systems in three sub-regions: the San Gabriel Valley, Central Los Angeles and the South Bay Cities. These three sub-regions represent nearly 50 percent of both population and employment in LA County.
The Program Goal is to improve mobility and provide congestion relief on 1- 10 and I- I 10 corridors through the introduction of congestion pricing by converting High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes, improvement of transit service and other alternatives to driving, improvements to transit facilities, and the implementation of an intelligent parking management system in downtown Los Angeles.
This program offers improved transportation options and a choice for drivers of single occupant vehicles (SOV) to pay to travel in a high occupancy lane. The minimum toll per mile is $0.25 and the maximum toll per mile is $1.40. The general purpose lanes will not be tolled. An additional aim of the program is to foster incentives for sustainable change that creates travel time savings, increased trip reliability, cost savings, improves air quality and effectively manages our current roadway network.
The federal grant name for this Program is the Los Angeles County Congestion Reduction Demonstration (LA CRD). It is estimated that more than 2,400 construction-related jobs will be generated by this program.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT Based upon percent expended, the Program is 22.7% complete. Staff continues to work with Caltrans to address potential issues of conflict which may arise as a result of work they are currently performing related to the 1-1 0 Rehab project. Staff is reviewing existing contracts and their status in order to manage any risk to our ExpressLanes program.
TOLL INFRASTRUCTURE AND FREEWAYIROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS This element has completed the Environmental and Preliminary Design phases. Caltrans is the lead agency for the NEPA and CEQA Environmental Documents. On April 28, 2010, the Final EIRIFONSI for the 1-10 and 1-1 10 HOT Lanes was approved. On May 14,2010 the Environmental Assessment was approved. Upon concurrence from FHWA, the Design-Build- Operate-Maintain (DBOM) RFP was released on June 7, 201 0. Five addenda were issued to the RFP. Three proposals were received on August 31,2010. The DBOM Contract was awarded to Atkinson Contractors, LP on December 16, 2010. The Notice to Proceed (NTP) was given to the contractor on January 11, 201 1. During March 2011 the DBOM contractor submitted the 60% design submittal for the 1-110 ExpressLanes.
Staff continues to work with FTAIFHWA partners regarding the need for a schedule extension to ensure all roadway and tolling installations are completed prior to opening the HOT Lanes.
Metro LA CRD (ExpressLanes) Program March 2011 Quarterly Project Status Report
PROGRAM OVERVIEW & STATUS (Contd)
Due to the high risk posed by the ongoing work being performed by the Caltrans 1-10 Rehab contractor on the 1-1 0 corridor, Metro is in discussions with FHWA to have the 1-1 10 tolling operation open before the 1-1 0 tolling operation.
The projected start of revenue operations on the 1-1 10 Hot Lanes is Fall 2012 and the projected date for the start of revenue operations on the 1-1 0 Hot Lanes is early 2013.
TRANSIT SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS 59 new clean-fuel buses will be operated to support the demonstration program. Metro continues to operate its new Silver Line service connecting passengers'to the El Monte and Artesia Transit Centers. Revenue Operations have been pushed back to June 2011 to reflect the projected opening of the 1-1 10 Express Lanes in 2012. For the month of March, the Silver Line weekday boardings total was 8,540 which represents a 29.15% increase in ridership since the Silver Line started service in December 2009.
All of our municipal transit partners - Gardena, Foothill and Torrance have placed the order for their buses. Gardena has received its 2 buses and has completed the Post Delivery Inspection (PDI) process. They are in the process of purchasing and installing bike racks on the buses to be completed by June 30,201 1. All 12 NAB1 42 ft. CNG buses for Foothill Transit have been procured and accepted into their fleet. Foothill transit is in the process of preparing the grant application for the operating subsidy. Torrance Transit has met with New Flyer and decided to cancel its order for hybrid buses, due to the propulsion company declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and instead purchase CNG buses. The CNG bus order is anticipated to be placed in April 2011 with delivery in November 2011.
LADOT completed the signal design plans of 19 intersections in February 201 0. The project was advertised on November 24,201 0 and a pre-bid meeting was held on November 30,201 0. City of Los Angeles Board of Public Works opened bids on 5-Jan-I I. C.T. & F., Inc. submitted the low bid of $393,418.86. Dept. of Public Works is evaluating the contract and responsiveness of the bidder. Project assumed completion of ARRA TPS-A TSA C Communications System Rehabilitation, which was supposed to provide interconnect capacity for transit signal priority. Due to changes in the ARRA project construction scope, the project must be redesigned to continue the interconnect link to the ATSAC Center. The bids have been cancelled and the project will be redesigned. The new bid package is anticipated to be competed June 2011. Construction is now scheduled for completion ~ecember 2011. system Integration is scheduled for completion February 2012.

TRANSIT FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS El Monte Transit Center - Completed construction for Contract C0934R for Demo, Repave and Lighting Installation over the former Old Transportation Bldg. Completed construction at Power Chevrolet; Completed demolition of the Metro Transportation Building and completed paving at the site. Contract C0959 for the temporary terminal was awarded to S.H.E. for $657K with NTP issued April 20, 201 0; construction was completed on September 3rd and the transition to the temporary terminal took place in early September.
The Gas Co. 2 0 gas main connection and relocation tasks were substantially completed in January 201 1. Contract for $39 million was awarded on June 18,201 0 to KPRS Construction Services, Inc. Notice to Proceed was issued 811 31201 0. A formal groundbreaking ceremony for the new El Monte Transit Center was held on September 22, 201 0. Demolition of existing bus facility commenced on October 8,201 0 and was completed in November 201 0. In November during initial excavation of the north roadway and former station area, contaminated soil impacted with lead and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) was discovered. Additional soil investigation has identified significant contamination. Final cost impacts remain under evaluation as soils disposal activities progress. Metro issued a change order for a 99 calendar day time extension to KPRS to address the soils handling delay impacts. North Access Road construction was completed in February 201 1 which will allow for the smoother flow of bus operations into the Temporary Terminal. Station construction completion is now projected to be July 201 2 with the Temporary Terminal restoration projected to be September 201 2.
Patsaouras Plaza - Submitted final PRIPSR to Caltrans. Approval expected in May 2011. 100% Advanced Conceptual Engineering was completed in September 201 0. Advertisement for the Design-Build procurement currently planned for April is now scheduled for May 201 1 due to required re-desig ns which effected ing resslegress from Patsaouras access points. Construction is scheduled to be completed in April 2013. Additional funding may be required for Patsaouras Plaza procurement due to cost impacts occurring at the El Monte station because of the soil contamination issue. Project management has alerted the Metro Board of this possibility and will return to the Board when firmer pricing is available for construction. Metro continues to coordinate with the High Speed Rail project to reduce potential future design and construction conflicts.
Harbor Transifway- This project will have at least 5 procurements. The low bid at $547K was awarded to Minco Construction for the Artesia Law Enforcement substation & CCNs with NTP issued March 2010 and construction was completed in October 2010.

evaluation/processing. However, C C N technical review by Metro ITS has been delayed resulting in a projected delay to contract completion with completion date still to be determined.
Division 13 Facility - The 100% design which incorporated the final 100% Metro design comments was approved on October 22, 201 0 reflecting a 4 month delay from the July 201 0 due date. Project was awarded a USDOT discretionary grant of $47.75 million in October. Staff is progressing towards a completion of the procurement package for an April 201 I pre-bid meeting and advertisement. Construction is currently scheduled to be completed by July 2013.
Pomona Metrolink Station - In May, 143 new parking spaces were opened for use east of the existing parking spaces. Construction of the temporary plafform to board passengers on Main Track 2 (MT-2) traveling toward San Bernardino was completed and put into Service on June 20, 2010. In December the contractor completed widening of the plafform and construction of the new east entrance. The platform was accepted for beneficial occupancy and put into service on December 15, 2010, along with the new east entrance with new pedestrian crossings. The MOU milestone of completion (beneficial occupancy) by December 30,201 0 has been achieved. In March 2011 the contractor completed some additional changes involving lighting and bollards. Close out of the vendor contracts is expected in April. The following remains to be completed: The closeout book, processing change orders, and the final payment and retention release. The as-builts are expected by the end of April.
DEMAND-BASED PARKING PRICING (EXPRESSPARK1 On August 31,2010, Caltrans approved the E-76 for the PE 2 Phase of Expresspark. Two qualified proposals were received on December 17, 2010. Because both proposals received exceeded the project budget, LADOT prepared additional guidance and a revised scope to be sent to the proposers. These responses were received March 16,201 1 and the proposals are under evaluation. LADOT anticipates a contract award by July 1, 2011. The date for full operation of the project has been changed to March 2012.

MANAGEMENT ISSUES
I Concern No. I: Program Risk Register
StatusIAction The Risk Register was updated in March 201 1 to reflect the issues faced during the procurement phase and impacts to schedule and will be circulated for review in April.
I Concern No. 2: Tolling Agreement
StatuslAction Tolling agreement with USDOT has not been finalized. Revised draft language from USDOT was reviewed by Metro and Caltrans in June. Anticipate execution of the agreement by the end of June 2011.
Concern No. 3: Project Management Plan (PMP)
StatusIAction CLOSED. The document was submitfed to USDOT in March 2011.
Concern No. 4: Patsaouras Plaza Connector Business Case & Constructability Review
StatusIAction Metro is currently reviewing the business case for the Patsaouras Plaza Improvements. Management wants to ensure there is still a benefit to the project given that the proposed location of the station has shifted to the west of the Patsaouras PlazaIUnion Station. In addition, the cost increase for the El Monte Station due to the removal of soil contamination, reduces the funds available to build the Patsaouras Plaza Connector. The final determination as to whether the project continues to move forward would be determined by the Metro Board in April or May 201 1.
Metro LA CRD (ExpressLanes) Program March 2011 Quarterly Project Status Report
MANAGEMENT ISSUES (Contd)
Concern No. 5: El Monte Station Soil Contamination
Status/Action In November 2010, a pocket of soil contamination was discovered during initial excavation of the north roadway and former station area. Greater than anticipated contaminated soils was encountered during the initial grading and excavation activities resulting in a slowdown of construction activities to assess safe and correct handling of the contaminated materials. The cost to remove the contaminated soil is estimated at $6 million. However, final cost impacts remain under evaluation as soils disposal activities progress. Excavation of the contaminated soil commenced in February 201 1. Metro issued a change order for a 99 calendar day time extension to KPRS to address the soils handling delay impacts. Station construction completion is now projected as July 2012 with the Temp Terminal Restoration projected as September 2012.
Concern No. 6: Expresspark Proposals Exceed Program Budget
Status/Action Proposals received for the RFP exceeded program budget. LADOT will be adjusting the Project Scope and proposers will be asked to submit new pricing schedules for the revised scope. Revised pricing schedules were received March 16, 2011 and LADOT anticipates a contract award by July I, 201 I. The date for full operation of the project has been changed to March 2012 proposals are under evaluation.
Concern No. 7: LADOT - TPS Cancellation of Bids
Status/Action Project assumed completion of ARRA TPS-A TSAC Communications System Rehabilitation, which was supposed to provide interconnect capacity for transit signal priority. Due to changes in the ARRA project construction scope, the project must be redesigned to continue the interconnect link to the ATSAC Center. The bids have been cancelled and the project will be redesigned. The new bid package is anticipated to be completed June 201 1. Construction is now scheduled for completion ~ecember 2011. system Integration is scheduled for completion February 2012.
Metro LA CRD (ExpressLanes) Program March 2011 Quarterly Project Status Report
PROGRAM SCOPE
Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and Caltrans have partnered with Foothill Transit, Gardena Municipal Bus Lines, Los Angeles Department of Transportation, Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Metrolink) and Torrance Transit, to develop a package of solutions to increase traffic flow and provide travel options on the 1-10 and 1-1 10 freeways in Los Angeles County. These solutions will be incorporated into a one-year demonstration that will test new technologies to improve the existing transportation system called ExpressLanes.
The program goal is to improve mobility and provide congestion relief on the 1-10 and 1-1 10 freeways through the introduction of congestion pricing by converting High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes to High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes, improvements to the transit service along the freeways, transit facility improvements, increased funding for vanpools and the introduction of an intelligent parking management program, called Expresspark, in downtown Los Angeles.
This program offers improved transportation options and a choice for drivers of single occupant vehicles (SOV) to pay to travel in a high occupancy lane. The general purpose lanes will not be tolled. The aim of the program is to foster incentives for sustainable change that creates travel time savings, increased trip reliability, cost savings, improved air quality and effectively manages our current roadway network.

PROGRAM SCOPE (Contd)
The features of the ExpressLanes program include:
1) TOLL INFRASTRUCTURE AND FREEWAYIROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
1-10 HOV Conversion to HOT Lanes (1-605 to Alameda St.1Union Station) and I- ll 0 HOV Conversion to HOT Lanes (Artesia Transit Center to Adams Blvd.) - an electronic toll collection system will be constructed that includes toll infrastructure, changeable message and static signage, transponders, cameras, back-office administration and management, CHP enforcement, and incident management response. Add 2"d HOT Lane on 1-1 0 (between 1-605 and 1-171 0) - a ~"%oT lane will be added on the 1-1 0 between 1-605 and 1-71 0 in both the eastbound and westbound directions. This will be accomplished by re-striping the existing enforcement zone buffer and minor roadway widening.
0 Widen Adams Blvd. and Lane Modifications to Adams Blvd Off-Ramp - modifications at Adams Blvd. include re-configuration to include two dedicated left turn lanes and one dedicated right turn lane. Widening of Adams Blvd. will require the sidewalk to be taken to add an additional dedicated right turn in the westbound direction. To replace the sidewalk, a pedestrian over-crossing will be constructed over the 1-1 10 freeway on the north side of Adams Blvd.
o Project Study Report (PSR): Adams Blvd.-Figueroa St. HOT Lane Flyover - funding will be provided to Caltrans to perform a PSR to identify alternatives to connect from the northbound 1-1 10 HOT Lanes to Figueroa St. The PSR will be coordinated with the Harbor Freeway Cap Park Feasibility Study lead by the City of Los Angeles.
2) TRANSIT SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS
o Enhanced Silver Line BRT and Feeder Services - Funding will be provided to Metro for 41 new CNG buses to enhance service on the 1-1 0 and 1-1 10 and create a new dual-hub BRT. In addition, Foothill Transit will deploy 12 new buses, Gardena Transit will deploy 2 new gas-hybrid buses and Torrance Transit will deploy 4 new buses to improve additional commuter bus service on both the 1-1 0 and 1-1 10. During the I-year Demonstration period, Foothill, Torrance and Gardena will also receive an operating subsidy for their expanded service. Transit Signal Priority in Downtown Los Angeies - The LADOT will install bus signal priority technology on Figueroa St. between Wilshire Blvd. and Adams Blvd. (15 signals) and Flower St. between Wilshire Blvd. and Olympic Blvd. (5 signals) to enhance transit operations. This project will also extend the existing AM peak-period northbound bus-only lane on Figueroa St. to cover the PM peak-period.

Harbor Transitway Park and Ride Improvements - improvements will include enhanced signage, lighting and security at 8 Park and Ride lots. A Sherriffs Substation will be constructed at Artesia Transit Center. New bike lockers will be installed and bus stops will be re-located for lines 108 and 11 5 so that they are under the Slauson and Manchester Transitway stations. And at the 37th Street Station translucent and architectural sound attenuation panels will be installed to reduce noise levels for waiting customers on the Harbor Transitway. Design of the panels is based on noise testing and analyses conducted by noise experts, the architecture of the station and Caltrans requirements. Before and after noise data will be collected to evaluate whether or not additional sound attenuation projects are implemented in the future at other freeway adjacent stations. Pomona Metrolink Station Expansion - this project consists of new pedestrian access improvements, 143 new parking spaces and the extension of the platform to accommodate additional rail cars at the Pomona (North) Metrolink Station that serves the San Bernardino Line. Operation of extended trains is projected to begin sometime in early 201 1 on the San Bernardino Line.
4) DEMAND-BASED PARKING PRICING
Expresspark - the LADOT will deploy new parking meter technology to 5,500 on- street metered parking spaces in the Central Business District, Chinatown, Civic Center, East Downtown, Little Tokyo and WashingtonIBroadway. These new meters

will charge demand-based parking rates depending on the time of day and length of stay. They will also provide alternative payment options (i.e. credit card, cell phone). In addition to the on-street meters, occupancy reporting systems will also be implemented for the major City-owned off-street parking facilities (approx 7,500). Real-time parking information for 13,000 public on- and off-street parking spaces will be provided through various media including: websites, mobile phones, and on- street dynamic message signs.

PROGRAM SUMMARY SCHEDULE
Metro LA CRD (ExpressLanes) Program March 2011 Quarterly Project Status Report
CRITICAL PATH NARRATIVE
The Critical Path of the HOT Lanes DBOM contract runs through the Toll Implementation design/procurement/test related activities. The schedule assumes a one month end-to- end testing period for each of the corridors, following installation of the Toll Operation Service Center and two months of integrated test period for the entire system following the corridor-wide testing. Our design consultants have confirmed that those durations are adequate for the testing activities.
Staff continues to work with FTAIFHWA partners regarding the need for a schedule extension to ensure all roadway and tolling installations are completed prior to opening the Hot Lanes. Due to the high risk posed by the ongoing work being performed by the Caltrans 1-10 Rehab contractor on the 1-10 corridor, Metro is in discussions with FHWA to have the 1-1 10 tolling operation open before the 1-1 0 tolling operation. The projected date for the opening of the 1-1 10 Hot Lanes is October 2012 and the 1-10 Hot Lanes is February 2013. However, now that the DBOM Contract has been awarded, these dates will be analyzed, with the concurrence of USDOT, and will be finalized once the DBOM Contractor provides its project schedule.
1-10 Rehab Construction Caltran's 1-10 Rehab contractor (Atkinson) provided Metro the latest schedule update, which shows 3 month delay compared to the original baseline schedule. Metro revised the master schedule to incorporate the phase opening site access window to meet a phased opening schedule requirement.
Transit Service Improvement Foothill and Gardena Transit - No changes to the critical path. Torrance Transit - Bus delivery will be delayed due to Chapter 11 declaration by hybrid engine manufacturer. Bus order placed on hold pending resolution of Chapter 11 re- organization. New Flyer offered an alternative bus replacement model which is currently being evaluated by Torrance. Torrance Transit has met with New Flyer and decided to cancel its order for hybrid buses, due to the propulsion company declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and instead purchase CNG buses. The order will be placed in April 201 1 with delivery in November 201 1.
Transit Facilitv Improvement El Monte Transit Center - Current contractor schedule shows the substantial completion date is September 2012. The sustained delays to critical activities on construction schedule was caused by the contaminated soil found during excavation and excessive rain days in December over the (5) rain delay days in the Baseline schedule. Pastaouras Plaza - No changes to the critical path. Harbor Transitway - No changes to the critical path. Division 13 Facility - No changes to the critical path.

CRITICAL PATH NARRATIVE (Contdl
Metrolink Pomona Station No changes to the critical path.
Transit Signal Prioritv in Downtown The original completion date of December 31, 2010 was moved to August 31, 201 1 due to a prolonged review process for the E-76 Authorization to Proceed with Construction and due to LADOT internal reorganization which resulted in Project Management being transferred to another group. Project assumed completion of ARRA TPS-ATSAC Communications System Rehabilitation, which was supposed to provide interconnect capacity for transit signal priority. Due to changes in the ARRA project construction scope, the project must be redesigned to continue the interconnect link to the ATSAC Center. The bids have been cancelled and the project will be redesigned. The new bid package is anticipated to be competed June 201 1. Construction is now scheduled for completion December 2011. System Integration is scheduled for completion February 2012.
Expresspark Proiect Schedule will be delayed by 1 month due to proposals received exceeding project budget. The need to obtain revised proposals has pushed back the projected contract award date. LADOT has asked the two proposers to submit revised proposals for two options: launch date 11/14/1 I and launch date 4/2/12. Once LADOT has received and reviewed the revised proposals, it will update the Project Schedule & Milestones. Revised pricing schedules were received March 16,2011 and LADOT anticipates a contract award by July 1,201 1. The date for full operation of the project has been changed to March 2012.

PROGRAM COST ANALYSIS
Adopted Budget The new Adopted Budget reflects the Metro Board which was approved in December 201 0 to increase the original adopted Life-of-Project (LOP) Budget in the amount of approximately $290 million to approximately $331.8 million plus partner local match and other Non-CRD Funds to be used in the CRD Program, bringing the total CRD Program Budget from approximately $320 million to approximately $368 million. During prior period two external partner agencies (Foothill and Gardena Transit) increased the forecast for their projects by approximately $3 million, increasing the budget for the CRDP from $368 million $371 million.
Current Forecast The Current Forecast of approximately $371 million remains the same as the new Adopted Budget approved at the December 9,201 0 Board Meeting, plus an increase of $3 million over last period for the aforementioned reason.
Commitments The Commitments increased to $70.4 million this period primarily for awarding the Atkinson DBOM Contract under CP 21 01 20, Metro and other agency staff charges, awarding of task orders to miscellaneous design and construction management consulting firms, and services related to the Pomona Metrolink Station.
Expenditures Expenditures increased by $2.0 million this period primarily for expenditures for design and construction management consulting firms, construction of the El Monte Transit Center and construction of Pomona Metrolink Station, Metro and Other Agency staff labor charges. The $84.0 million in Project Expenditures to date represent 22.7% of the Adopted Budget.
Note: Commitments in the Program Status of Funds by Source do not match the Cost Report because of difficulties in reconciliation of Atkinson Contract DBOM commitments. This is being worked out and should be reconciled by the next Monthly Status Reporf.
