BOARD MEMORANDUM TO: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Administration & Finance Committee

THROUGH: General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez

FROM: Board Secretary, Elaine F. Baltao SUBJECT: Committee for Transit Accessibility Appointment


Policy-Related Action: No Government Code Section 84308 Applies: No

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the appointment of Christine Fitzgerald to the Committee for Transit Accessibility, representing persons with disabilities, for the two-year term ending December 31, 2016.

BACKGROUND:

VTA’s five advisory committees provide input, perspective and technical expertise on proposed changes to VTA policy or priorities potentially impacting transit service and transportation projects throughout the county. The Committee for Transit Accessibility (CTA) advises the Board of Directors on bus and rail system accessibility issues, paratransit service, and transportation accessibility matters in Santa Clara County. The committee has 21 voting and two ex-officio, non-voting members. The voting membership consists of 12 individuals with disabilities and nine individuals that represent agencies or businesses that serve older adults or persons with disabilities. The CTA bylaws require that Board members nominate candidates for the individuals with disabilities positions and the Board Chairperson nominate agency or business members. Members serve two-year terms that are staggered and are eligible for reappointment to successive terms. Members from the individuals with disabilities category must reside within the county during their term. Appointment of organizations serving older adults or the disabled community and appointment of individuals with disabilities require the approval of the Board of Directors.

DISCUSSION:

Ms. Christine Fitzgerald has been nominated by Director Magdalena Carrasco to serve on the CTA representing individuals with disabilities. Ms. Fitzgerald, who is disabled, is a native of Santa Clara County and now resides in San Jose. She works in the field of providing employment and independent living skills training to the disabled community. This includes previously working as a vocational/employment specialist for the Silicon Valley Independent Living Center (SVILC) in San Jose. She also worked at the Center for Independence (San Mateo County) as a benefits specialist and as a work incentives coordinator. In addition, she worked for Project Hired, whose mission is to assist individuals with disabilities to gain and to sustain employment. Prior civic and community service includes both volunteering at the SVILC and serving on its board of directors for four years, including one term as vice chairperson. She also served as the chairperson for the SVILC’s Resource Development Committee. Ms. Fitzgerald is a frequent user of VTA' fixed route bus and light rail service, Outreach Paratransit service, Caltrain and Capitol Corridor/Amtrak service. Based on her qualifications and demonstrated knowledge and interest in transit and transportation issues, staff recommends approval of Ms. Fitzgerald’s appointment for the two-year term of ending December 31, 2016.

FROM: Director of Planning and Program Development, John Ristow SUBJECT: VTA's Response to SPUR Report - Freedom to Move


FOR INFORMATION ONLY

BACKGROUND:

SPUR is a non-profit civic planning organization whose mission is to promote good planning and good government through research, education and advocacy. Their program areas span Community Planning, Disaster Planning, Economic Development, Good Government, Housing, Regional Planning, Sustainable Development, and Transportation. SPUR has offices in San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland.

In July 2014, SPUR San Jose released a comprehensive report on VTA, titled Freedom to Move -

How the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority can create better transportation choices in

the South Bay. The report identified seven strategies and 35 recommendations that VTA should take to improve transportation options throughout Santa Clara County.

SPUR staff presented the report to the advisory and standing committees and Board of Directors in fall 2014 and to the Technical Advisory Committee Land Use/Transportation Integration Working Group in February 2015. The report was also discussed on KLIV -Inside Silicon Valley with Russell Hancock and in a Mercury News article in fall 2014.

DISCUSSION:

VTA welcomes the SPUR report and views it as an opportunity to respond to SPUR’s recommendations as well as share information regarding current VTA efforts and how they address our common goals of improving transportation in Santa Clara County.

Each strategy and recommendation identified by SPUR will be addressed in two phases. Phase I, addressed in this memo, will describe the efforts that VTA currently performs relating to the recommendations. The current activities have been distributed among the following categories: Policies; Studies; Program; Capital Projects; Technology; and Partnerships. The matrix of the

6

of 2

activities can be found in Attachment A.

Phase II of the response will examine the efforts that VTA would like to undertake in order to address the strategies and recommendations outlined by SPUR. Phase II will also include the strategies and needs required to be successful. This response will be taken through VTA Committees and the Board of Directors in the coming months.

Policy-Related Action: No Government Code Section 84308 Applies: Yes

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the General Manager to execute a contract with Intueor Consulting, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $791,200. This contract will provide procurement support, project management, advanced communications system testing and acceptance, staffing plans and training, and intelligent transportation systems integration to support the Computer Aided Dispatch/Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) system replacement project. The initial term of the contract will be three years with an option to extend an additional year.

BACKGROUND:

In 2003, VTA completed an upgrade of its radio and fleet management system that included the installation of a CAD/AVL system to complete an effective communication system, enhance transit service and safety, improve daily operational performance and incident management, and increase visibility of day-to-day operational data.

The CAD/AVL system is the primary system used by the Operations Control Center (OCC) dispatchers to manage both revenue service and support vehicles. VTA’s CAD/AVL system includes in-vehicle mobile data terminals integrated with a Global Positioning System (GPS). It features on-time performance monitoring, managed voice communications, next-stop announcements, automatic passenger counting, and real-time passenger information. Operators rely on the system as the primary form of communication with OCC. It is an important component in keeping a safe and secure transit service.

The current CAD/AVL system has been in operation for more than 10 years and is a mission-

7

of 4

critical system for VTA. However, the software portion of the system lacks functionality that is available in current technologies, the on-board equipment failure rate is increasing, and availability of parts is very scarce.

In June 2014, the Board of Directors approved replacing the CAD/AVL system through a competitive negotiation process. The CAD/AVL replacement project is a multi-million dollar procurement requiring specialized expertise to design and install.

DISCUSSION:

VTA issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to engage a professional consulting and communications engineering firm to provide comprehensive, professional, high-quality services to facilitate the replacement of VTA’s existing Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD), Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), & Real-time Passenger Information (RTPI) communications system referred to as the Advanced Communications System (ACS). VTA sought proposals from consulting and communications engineering firms with experience in the bus and rail transit industry for systems comparable in size to the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. Responses to the Request for Proposals were received from:

Auriga Corporation IBI Group Intueor Consulting, Inc. Mindboard, Inc.

All proposals were considered and reviewed by a panel consisting of the Deputy Director, Service and Operations Planning; the Technology Manager; the Communications Systems Manager; the Manager of Operations Analysis, Reporting, and Systems; and the Assistant Superintendent, Transit Communications. Each proposal was evaluated on the following criteria:

Familiarity with, and experience implementing a variety of Advanced Communications Systems.

Knowledge and expertise in: o Design and implementation of transit radio communications systems including

computer aided dispatch, automatic vehicle locator/global positioning systems, real-time passenger information systems, and communication networks

o CAD/AVL/RTPI integration of both bus and light rail transit requirements o Design and implementation of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) o Project management experience for large, federally funded capital projects

including schedule and budget control, specification development, proposal evaluation, contract negotiation and implementation

o Design, implementation and integration of associated “Smart Bus” technologies including automatic passenger counters (APCs), fare equipment, vehicle maintenance monitoring, automated annunciators and headsigns, traffic signal preemption equipment, and passenger information systems

o Current telecommunications industry standards and codes, and Federal Communications Commission rules, regulations and licensing

7

of 4

o Development and implementation of a comprehensive equipment and system testing and acceptance plan

o Development of staffing and training plans for operations and maintenance personnel associated with communications systems

Technical expertise and staff, including an experienced Project Manager, Professional Engineers (registered in the State of California) and licensed personnel necessary to complete the required scope of work.

RFP panel members reviewed and evaluated written proposals and invited three firms to present their proposals. Interviews were conducted January 29, 2015 and proposals were evaluated based on the scope of work and the firms’ abilities to provide the following services to the CAD/AVL project:

1. Procurement Support 2. Project Management 3. ACS Testing and Acceptance 4. Staffing Plans and Training 5. Intelligent Transportation Systems Integration

Intueor Consulting, Inc. demonstrated a superior understanding of the project scope and presented a highly qualified team that will perform the requested CAD/AVL services. Intueor’s CAD/AVL implementation experience is good and the firm demonstrated a solid understanding of how to implement a CAD/AVL project. The assigned Project Manager understands the roles and responsibilities of the project team members including VTA staff, prospective CAD/AVL vendor, and Intueor. Intueor and the assigned Project Manager have performed well for VTA in other large operational technology initiatives and their proposed hours and costs were appropriate and reasonable. The RFP review panel deemed this firm highly qualified in every criterion and the best candidate for this work. Staff recommends awarding this contract to Intueor Consulting, Inc.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Board of Directors could reject this bidder and require staff to repeat the RFP process. This would result in project delay. The Board could choose not to enter into a contract for these services. This alternative is not recommended because of the specialized expertise required and the mission critical nature of this procurement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will authorize up to $791,200 for consulting services to replace VTA's aging CAD/AVL system. Appropriation for this expenditure is available in the FY 2015 Adopted VTA Transit Fund Capital Budget.

SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (SBE) PARTICIPATION:

Based on identifiable subcontracting opportunities, a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal of 7.31% has been established by the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Businesses for this

7

of 4

contract. Contractor met the goal and has committed to 63% SBE participation on this contract.

FROM: Director of Engr. & Trans. Infrastructure Dev., Carolyn M. Gonot SUBJECT: Santa Clara – Alum Rock Bus Rapid Transit Project Additional Authorization

for Utility Rearrangement Construction



ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the General Manager to expend $1.4 million in additional funds under existing agreements for utility relocation construction activities identified on the Santa Clara - Alum Rock Bus Rapid Transit Project. The revised total estimated cost for such relocation work is $6.3 million.

BACKGROUND:

On January 31, 2013, the Board authorized the General Manager to commence utility relocation activities for the rearrangement of facilities determined to be in conflict with the Santa Clara - Alum Rock Bus Rapid Transit (SC-AR BRT) Project improvements (Attachment A). The Board authorized an estimated amount of $4.9 million for these activities. The utility owners were identified as Pacific Gas & Electric Company, San Jose Water Company, AT&T and Comcast (Attachment B). Relocation agreements were executed in early 2014 with PG&E, San Jose Water Company and AT&T. These agreements provide for reimbursement to the utility owners for costs associated with relocating existing utilities away from SC-AR BRT construction.

DISCUSSION:

Current invoicing from utility owners for their relocation efforts on the SC-AR BRT project is nearing the current funding authorization. The forecasted cost to complete all relocations is now

8

of 2

estimated at $6.3 million, $1.4 million more than the original estimate of $4.9 million. There are several reasons for the higher cost to complete the various utility relocation work:

PG&E performed re-design work to match the project final design and also to mitigate unforeseen field conditions such as conflicts with other utilities.

Due to re-design and heavy workloads for the utility companies, actual work started approximately a year later than originally planned, resulting in cost escalation.

Original estimates did not include inefficiencies resulting from City of San Jose permit conditions restricting construction activities to shorter work windows.

PG&E performed night work to accelerate some utility relocations to meet the schedule of the main SC-AR BRT construction contract.

During the project, PG&E implemented a new safety oversight procedure for gas line work that is more labor intensive.

ALTERNATIVES:

There are no practical alternatives. Utility owners are responsible for work on their facilities and other parties are precluded from doing so by law without utility owners’ permission. VTA has not been given such permission by any of the utility owners.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will authorize $ 1.4 million for utility owner reimbursement. There are adequate funds available in the current budget to cover these expenditures. Appropriation for these expenditures is available in the FY15 Adopted 2000 Measure A Transit Improvement Program Fund Capital Budget. These expenditures will be funded by State Prop 1B and 2000 Measure A funds.

DISCUSSION:

The work under the Mission/Warren/Freight Railroad Relocation Program is nearly completed, with all of the freight tracks relocated, UPRR and SVBX/BART bridges constructed, Mission Boulevard widened, the Kato on/off-ramps constructed and open to traffic, the utilities relocated to clear the BART corridor, all creek and flood control improvements finished and impacts mitigated, and the Truck-Rail facility reconstructed and fully operational. The improvements within the BART corridor were turned over to the SVBX Line, Track, Station and System (LTSS) contractor two months ahead of schedule. The C101 Contractor’s current efforts are focused on completion of the Mission Boulevard ground water treatment and discharge system, Caltrans’ recently requested rehabilitation of eastbound Mission Boulevard from the easterly project limit to Warm Springs Boulevard, and contract close-out. As part of contract close-out, VTA staff is working with the contractor to finalize additional compensation for unanticipated work described below.

Bid Item Quantity

VTA staff and the contractor have reconciled bid item quantities to complete the work. Bid items that have exceeded the estimated quantity include roadway excavation, embankment construction, aggregate base material, asphalt concrete pavement, dewatering, and freight track removal.

Right-of-Way Delays

The contractor had to restage the Warren Avenue grade separation work, work extended hours and on weekends to mitigate the impacts due to delay in (i) relocation by private utilities, and (ii) removal of Warren Avenue shoofly by UPRR. Utility relocation activities that were scheduled for the third quarter of 2012 but were completed in the second quarter of 2013 include the removal of utility poles by PGE&E and relocation of communication cable by AT&T. Additionally MCI and Qwest fiber optic cable relocation had to be coordinated with the DSM wall construction impacting the schedule. The contractor had to provide temporary gas and electrical service to the Truck-Rail Handling facility and restage work in order for Truck-Rail Handling facility to maintain operations, as PG&E was unable to provide new service for almost one year. The restaging resulted in construction inefficiencies and additional traffic control measures for lane closures. If unmitigated, the delays described above would have impacted the turnover of the BART corridor to the SVBX Line, Track, Stations, and Systems contractor.

Revised Stage Construction for Warren Avenue

The construction staging envisaged in the bid documents includes closure and reconstruction of the Warren/Kato and Warren/Mission Falls intersections after completion of the depressed Warren Avenue. The reconstruction activities were estimated to take about 14 weeks. The City of Fremont expressed concerns about traffic impacts due to the planned closure of the two intersections and construction activities scheduled along the SVBX Corridor at Dixon Landing Road. Mitigating the City’s concerns, VTA staff revised the construction staging and traffic control plan. The C101 contractor constructed the improvements in multiple stages with the implementation of a revised traffic control plan that involved addition of a temporary traffic signal. The demolition of the existing roadway improvements was done in stages including addition of temporary asphalt concrete pavement for traffic control, adding significantly to the cost. Further, the contractor worked on weekends to minimize traffic impacts and to complete

9

of 6

work that was required in order to shift traffic for the next stage of construction. Also, to address another City concern, construction staging was revised to minimize impacts to the businesses located near the Warren/Mission Falls intersection during its closure for reconstruction.

Buried Manmade Objects

During construction the contractor encountered numerous buried manmade objects that were not shown on the plans and were unknown at the time of bid. These buried objects included the old Kato Road overcrossing abutment including center pier footing and piles, old abandoned storm drain facilities, old traffic signal and lighting foundations, and several abandoned utilities. Most of these buried manmade objects were several feet deep, requiring extensive excavations and the use of temporary shoring in order to remove them. The cost associated with these unanticipated manmade buried objects include both the delays and the cost to remove and dispose of them.

Mission Boulevard Widening at Brown Road

Caltrans and the City of Fremont have requested additional work including the removal of six dead trees, new sign panels that meet current State specifications, potholing and positively locating underground utilities, drainage modifications, and additional excavation and paving to correct slope and meet ADA requirements. The City of Fremont has increased its funding commitment for this additional work in accordance with the Cooperative Agreement.

Mission Boulevard Rehabilitation

Caltrans has requested rehabilitation of eastbound Mission Boulevard from the easterly project limit to Warm Springs Boulevard as the pavement has deteriorated because of the heavy construction traffic. The work involves grinding existing pavement, placement of reinforcing fabric and asphalt concrete pavement, hauling and disposing of materials, temporary pavement delineation, traffic control, and replacement of signal loop detectors.

Implementation of the above changes will not impact the budget for the MWFRR Program that continues to trend below the estimate. With the implementation of the above, the contract changes due to unforeseen conditions, and transfer of scope from other SVRT contracts constitute about 14% and 9.6% of the forecast contract value respectively. A site plan of the area is attached as Exhibit A. A list of the subcontractors involved in the construction is attached as Exhibit B.

ALTERNATIVES:

There are no practical alternatives to the recommended action.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will authorize an additional $2,800,000 for construction of Mission Boulevard/Warren Avenue/Freight Railroad Relocation Program Improvements. Appropriation for these expenditures is available in the FY 15 Adopted 2000 Measure A Transit Improvement Program Fund Capital Budget. Funding for this effort will include Federal FHWA funds, State AB 1462 and HRCSA funds, as well as City of Fremont funds.

Percentage of this request to Current Amount: 3.7%

Percentage of Modifications (including this request) to Original Amount: 3.7 %

DISCUSSION:

The scope under this construction management services contract included construction supervision, construction inspection, field document control, quality assurance program implementation coordination, third-party liaison and coordination, utility relocation coordination, railroad coordination, permit coordination, and oversight of hazardous materials handling, removal and disposal.

During contract negotiations, VTA stipulated that a VTA construction inspector would be assigned full-time to both the C101 and C222 construction contracts (see Exhibit A), thereby reducing the total number of man-hours to be provided and the contract dollar amount. After execution of the contract, it was determined that a sufficient number of VTA staff inspectors

10

of 3

were not available because of other VTA construction projects. Therefore, Ghirardelli Associates provided additional staff augmentation for those positions until VTA closed out the contracts.

The improvements included in the C222 construction contract were completed in 2013 and the contract is being closed out; and, the work under the C101 construction contract is anticipated to be completed the second quarter of 2015. Although the C101 contract is being completed on-schedule, there is insufficient budget remaining in the Ghirardelli Associates, Inc. contract to complete the work, including the project closeout. The total number of man-hours to be provided by Ghirardelli was anticipated to be 43,000, however the total man-hours to complete the work is currently estimated to exceed 51,000. The Ghirardelli Associates, Inc. team consists of three subconsultants: S&C Engineers, Alta Vista Solutions, and Parikh Consultants, Inc. (Table A).

ALTERNATIVES:

There are no practical alternatives to the recommended action. Construction management services support is required during the completion of the construction activities and during the contract closeout.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will authorize an additional $314,000 for construction management services. Appropriation for these expenditures is available in the FY15 Adopted 2000 Measure A Transit Improvement Program Fund Capital Budget. Funding for this effort will include State AB 1462 and City of Fremont funds.

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) PARTICIPATION:

Based on identifiable subcontracting opportunities, a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 10% was established for this contract. Ghirardelli Associates, Inc., the prime contractor, is a certified DBE contractor and is currently achieving 55% DBE participation on this contract.

FROM: Director of Engr. & Trans. Infrastructure Dev., Carolyn M. Gonot SUBJECT: Status Update of VTA-BART Comprehensive Agreement



BACKGROUND:

Please find below an overview of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation authority (VTA) and Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Comprehensive Agreement.

Executed November 19, 2001, the VTA-BART Comprehensive Agreement sets forth the fundamental agreements between VTA and BART for the extension of BART service into Santa Clara County. The Comprehensive Agreement provides for the following general division of responsibilities between VTA and BART.

VTA Responsibilities Provide funding for all capital and operating costs associated with the extension Conduct the necessary contracting and procurement (with limited exceptions for rolling

stock, fare collection data acquisition systems, modifications to the existing BART system, and BART operational software.)

Construct to BART standards as a seamless extension of the BART System Retain ownership of the infrastructure, including rolling stock Reimburse BART for necessary modifications to the existing BART system

BART Responsibilities

Provide Technical Assistance Procure rolling stock, and other technical systems Modify technical systems to integrate the extension into the existing BART system Operate the completed extension as an integral part of the BART system Maintain the completed extension Establish Fare Policy

of 3

The Comprehensive Agreement also provides that VTA and BART General Managers may enter into implementation letters or side agreements for the purpose of implementing the Comprehensive Agreement. Implementation letters may not contradict the provisions of the Comprehensive Agreement and are limited to resolving ambiguities or issues not specifically addressed in the Comprehensive Agreement. To date, Implementation Letters have been used primarily to reimburse BART for costs incurred for providing technical assistance by BART staff and management through the planning, design and construction phases of the Silicon Valley Rapid Transit (SVRT) Program. VTA and BART have also entered into two companion agreements that support the extension of BART services into Santa Clara County. On September 9, 2013 VTA and BART entered into an agreement for the construction of certain maintenance facilities at BART’s existing Hayward Yard. This agreement was necessary because the Comprehensive Agreement did not contemplate that the full 16-mile extension to Santa Clara would need to be implemented in phases and the maintenance facilities planned for the end of the line at Santa Clara would not be available for VTA’s Phase 1 extension to Berryessa. Under this agreement VTA will provide approximately $175 million to fund real estate acquisition and construction of facilities to be constructed by BART. The maintenance facilities to be constructed at the Hayward Maintenance Complex reduce the scope of the maintenance facilities required for the subsequent extension to Santa Clara. The other companion agreement between VTA and BART was executed on November 5, 2013, and provided the specific details related to the procurement of passenger vehicles for VTA’s extension as part of BART’s fleet replacement procurement. This Vehicle Procurement Agreement provides for VTA to reimburse BART approximately $215 million to procure 60 vehicles on behalf of VTA as part of a planned 775 vehicle procurement being currently conducted by BART. Arrangements for additional vehicles for VTA’s subsequent extension to Santa Clara are still to be determined, and may depend on the timing for implementation of that extension. The status of Implementation Letters, including the two companion agreements is as follows: Closed/Completed Estimates

IL-01 SVRT Environmental Activities - BART Support $1,197,000 IL-02 BART Core Systems Modification Study - Phase 1 $1,704,555 IL-03 Development of BART Design & Construction Standards for SVRT $279,989 IL-04 Conceptual Engineering Studies - BART Support $3,065,250 IL-06 Preliminary Engineering - BART Support $12,510,552 IL-10 SVBX Engineering and Procurement , Jan 2013 through Dec 2011 - BART Support

The next significant agreement to be made between VTA and BART will be for the Operations and Maintenance of VTA’s extension to Berryessa currently under construction. The agreement will need to be executed before BART Service to Berryessa begins.

The 2001 Comprehensive Agreement provides overall guidance regarding cost-sharing responsibilities between VTA and BART, but leaves the details of these arrangements to be established by subsequent agreements. VTA staff will be providing a more detailed overview of the Comprehensive Agreement and its provisions related to the ongoing operations and maintenance of VTA’s BART extension to the SVRT Program Working Committee, and will provide updates to the committee as the specific provisions of this agreement develop.

FROM: Director of Government Affairs, Jim Lawson SUBJECT: Legislative Update Matrix



BACKGROUND:

The Legislative Update Matrix describes key transportation-related bills and other measures of interest that are being considered by the California State Legislature during the 2015-2016 regular session. The matrix indicates the status of these bills and any adopted VTA positions with regard to them. DISCUSSION:

The purpose of this report is to provide an update on recent developments related to a number of key transportation issues facing lawmakers in Sacramento. First, a significant and troubling FY 2016 budget issue has arisen in recent weeks with the announcement by the California Board of Equalization that it plans to lower the variable portion of the state’s gas tax by six cents because of the nearly 40 percent decline in gasoline prices over the last nine months. This action would result in a reduction of more than $1 billion in motor fuel tax revenues that would otherwise go to local streets and roads (44 percent), the State Transportation Improvement Program or “STIP” (44 percent), and the State Highway Operation and Protection Program or “SHOPP” (12 percent). The reason for this mandatory adjustment dates back to the complex transportation funding swap that was initially enacted by the Legislature in 2010 and then reaffirmed in 2011 in order to fix a series of problems that resulted from the passage of several ballot measures in November 2010. Under the transportation funding swap, the state’s share of the sales tax on gasoline was eliminated and replaced with a variable excise tax that the Board of Equalization is required to adjust annually to ensure that the same amount of revenues is being generated as by the former sales tax.

12

of 5

The looming six cent reduction would be the first time since the enactment of the transportation funding swap that the variable portion of the state’s gas tax would need to be adjusted downward. This situation would present a near-term crisis for local streets and roads, the STIP, and the SHOPP, unless the Legislature passes and Gov. Jerry Brown signs a bill to alter the adjustment in some way prior to July 1, 2015, which is when the adjustment is scheduled by law to take effect. Second, Gov. Brown’s budget includes an estimate of $1 billion for the amount of cap-and-trade auction proceeds that would be generated in FY 2016. This number is more of a placeholder than a real forecast since the Department of Finance cannot accurately predict the results of the quarterly allowance auctions that will be held by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) during the upcoming fiscal year. Transportation fuels came under the cap-and-trade system in January 2015. The first auction to occur with transportation fuels as part of the mix took place in February. Interestingly, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO), in its review of Gov. Brown’s budget, noted that if all of the allowances that are estimated to be auctioned in the upcoming fiscal year sell for the minimum price set by the state (between $12 and $13), then cap-and-trade revenues would exceed $2.3 billion, a significantly higher number than what the Governor is currently assuming. It is expected that the Governor’s “May Revise” will provide a better financial picture with regard to the amount of cap-and-trade revenues that would be available for expenditure in FY 2016. Since the transportation-related programs funded with cap-and-trade auction proceeds -- the Low Carbon Transit Operations Program, the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, and high-speed rail -- are continuously appropriated, they will simply receive their respective percentage shares pursuant to the investment framework that was established last year through the enactment of SB 862, theoretically avoiding legislative battles over this money. Third, included in the transportation portion of Gov. Brown’s FY 2016 budget is a policy discussion aimed at justifying the need to beef up funding for the SHOPP in order to provide additional resources to maintain and rehabilitate the state highway system. While the budget highlights the $6 billion annual SHOPP shortfall, it does not offer a solution to this problem. Instead, the Governor used his budget as a “call to action,” encouraging his administration, the Legislature and transportation stakeholders to work together to figure it out. While Gov. Brown’s preference is for the conversation to occur within the California Transportation Infrastructure Priorities (CTIP) Workgroup that was set up by Transportation Secretary Brian Kelly in 2013, several legislators have already come forward with their own ideas. During a recent California Transportation Foundation Leadership Forum, Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) unveiled an outline of a proposal to increase state investment in transportation by $2 billion annually. The money would come from three sources: (1) $1 billion by returning revenues generated from vehicle weight fees to transportation, rather than using these dollars to pay general obligation bond debt; (2) $200 million by accelerating the

12

of 5

repayment of outstanding loans owed by the General Fund to various transportation accounts; and (3) $800 million from a new “road user charge” that would be in the neighborhood of $1 per week per car. Many of the details of the Speaker’s proposal, including how the road user charge would be collected and where the $2 billion in new revenues would go, still need to be worked out. Meanwhile, two bills on the subject have been introduced in the Legislature. AB 227 (Alejo) overlaps with the Speaker’s plan in that it includes language to permanently recapture vehicle weight fee revenues for transportation purposes and to accelerate transportation loan repayments. However, this measure also calls for extending the statutory authority for Caltrans and local agencies to utilize public-private partnerships for transportation projects for an unspecified period of time beyond the current January 1, 2017, expiration date. AB 4 (Linder) also would return vehicle weight fee revenues to transportation, but only temporarily -- until January 1, 2020. Finally, February 27 was the last day for lawmakers in Sacramento to introduce new bills. Some of the more significant transportation bills that have surfaced are as follows: Express Lanes: AB 194 (Frazier) calls for reinstating a process that would allow regional and local agencies to submit applications for constructing and operating express lanes on state highway facilities to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) for approval. This process was initially established on a temporary basis through the enactment of legislation in 2006, but it expired at the end of 2011. The purpose of AB 194 is to put in place a way for regional and local agencies to pursue express lanes without having to seek specific authorization through the Legislature on a corridor-by-corridor basis. While the Governor’s FY 2016 budget indicates that the administration plans to pursue legislation to expand the authority for regional/local agencies and Caltrans to implement express lanes in state highway corridors, AB 194 is actually being sponsored by the Self-Help Counties Coalition. However, it is expected that the Brown Administration will eventually put forth its own proposal in the form of a budget trailer bill. For now, VTA is supporting AB 194 pursuant to the Board-adopted 2015 Legislative Program. Private Employer Shuttles: AB 61 (Allen) authorizes a public transit agency to adopt an ordinance or resolution to allow private companies operating shuttles for their employees who are not public transit riders to use the agency’s bus stops located on property that the agency does not own to load and unload their passengers. While a public transit agency may regulate the use of its own property by commuter shuttles being operated by private-sector employers, current state law prohibits this practice when it comes to an agency’s bus stops that are located in the public right-of-way. Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program: SB 9 (Beall) seeks to structure the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program in a way that would allow the program to accommodate large-scale, transformative, transit expansion projects that would achieve the greatest reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Administered by the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program is one of the statewide competitive grant programs that was created last year through the enactment of SB 862 to be funded with

12

of 5

cap-and-trade auction proceeds. Under the provisions of SB 9, CalSTA would be required to put together a five-year program of projects for funding under the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program. This program of projects would be updated every two years. This approach is the same that is used for the STIP. SB 9 also allows CalSTA to enter into multi-year funding agreements with public transit agencies for their projects, similar to what the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) does with projects funded with New Starts/Small Starts dollars. Both of these provisions of SB 9 would allow the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program to accommodate large-scale projects seeking more substantive sums of cap-and-trade dollars by enabling CalSTA to program, commit and allocate funding over multiple fiscal years. This would not be possible if CalSTA were to initiate a new competitive process for the Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program every single fiscal year and program only one year’s worth of funding at a time because a public transit agency would have to resubmit an application for its project and compete year after year in order to obtain the amount of cap-and-trade funding that it needs. In turn, this uncertainly would not allow a public transit agency to use cap-and-trade auction proceeds to leverage federal dollars or to secure financing for its large-scale project. VTA is supporting SB 9 pursuant to the Board-adopted 2015 Legislative Program. Climate Change: In his FY 2016 budget, Gov. Brown noted that there is overwhelming scientific consensus that reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050 is necessary to avoid the most disruptive impacts of climate change. The budget calls upon the administration to work with the Legislature and stakeholders “to develop a midterm reduction target for 2030 that is consistent with this 2050 objective for stabilizing climate change, and to develop an integrated, economy-wide plan for meeting this target.” In response to the Governor’s budget, several bills have been introduced in the Legislature to stimulate this debate. The most significant is SB 350 (de Leon), which includes the following key provisions: (1) requires the amount of electricity generated from renewable sources to be equal to at least 50 percent by December 31, 2030; (2) requires CARB to impose fuel standards that would help achieve a 50 percent reduction in petroleum use in motor vehicles by January 1, 2030; and (3) requires the state to pursue cost-effective energy conservation measures, and improvements in the efficiency of energy usage and distribution to further a 50 percent reduction in petroleum use in the transportation sector by January 1, 2030. Meanwhile, AB 21 (Perea) requires CARB to recommend to the Governor and the Legislature a specific target for reductions in statewide greenhouse gas emissions for 2030 that could be accomplished in a cost-effective manner. Then there is AB 33 (Quirk), which requires CARB to include in its next update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target for 2040 and for 2050. Finally, SB 32 (Pavley) requires CARB to approve a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit to be achieved by 2050 that is equivalent to 80 percent below the 1990 level. This bill also authorizes CARB to adopt interim targets to be achieved by 2030 and 2040. Bicycle Issues: Three bills of note have been introduced addressing various issues related to

12

of 5

bicycles. AB 28 (Chu) requires a bicycle operated at night to be equipped with a rear red flashing light, rather than a red reflector. AB 40 (Ting) prohibits the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District from charging pedestrians and bicyclists tolls or access fees to use the sidewalks on the Golden Gate Bridge. Finally, SB 192 (Liu) requires every person, regardless of age, to wear a bicycle helmet when: (1) operating a bicycle; (2) riding upon a bicycle while in a restraining seat that is attached to the bicycle; or (3) riding in a trailer towed by a bicycle.

DODGE & COX - The Fixed Income portfolio manager underperformed its benchmark in January 2015 and calendar year-to-date by 0.68%. The main detractors from relative performance included the portfolios’ shorter relative duration, an overweight to corporate bonds, and the underperformance of the portfolios’ MBS holdings relative to comparable duration Treasuries. A 7.00% rate of return assumption is used in the annual actuarial analysis for the Retirees’ OPEB. The results of the actuarial analysis determine VTA’s annual contribution rates. Any difference between actual investment returns and the 7.00% assumed annual return is recognized in the same year. The annual returns for the Retirees’ OPEB portfolio have been equivalent to or exceeded the 7.00% assumed rate of return in 8 out of 14 years.
