AGENDA ITEM #4 (c) MARCH 1, 2018
PENINSULA CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS BOARD
STAFF REPORT
TO: Joint Powers Board THROUGH: Jim Hartnett Executive Director FROM: Derek Hansel
Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES FOR THE PERIOD ENDING
JANUARY 31, 2018 ACTION Staff proposes the Committee recommend that the Board accept and enter into the record the Statement of Revenues and Expenses for the month of January 2018. This staff report provides a brief discussion of significant items and trends on the attached Statement of Revenues and Expenses through January 31, 2018. The statement has been designed to follow the Agency wide line item rollup as included in the adopted budget. The columns have been designed to provide easy comparison of year to date prior to current actuals for the current fiscal year including dollar and percentage variances. In addition, the current forecast of Revenues and Expenses is compared to the Revised Budget for Fiscal Year 2018. SIGNIFICANCE Annual Forecast: The Forecast reflects Use of Reserves (page 1, line 13) of $6.8 million compared to $8.5 million in the revised budget. This is an improvement of $1.7 million and is driven by projected savings in several expense line items including Rail Operating Service (page 1, line 23), Fuel and Lubricants (page 1, line 29), Facilities and Equipment Maintenance (page 1, line 32), Utilities (page 1, line 33), and Other Office Expenses and Services (page 1, line 44). Year to Date Revenues: As of January year-to-date actual, the Total revenues (page 1 of the Statement of Revenues and Expenses, line 17) are $1.5 million higher than the prior year. This is primarily driven by Farebox Revenue (page 1, line 1), Shuttle (page 1, line 3), and Rental Income (page 1, line 4). This is partially offset by Parking Revenue (page 1, line 2) due to TVM monthly sales adjustment, Operating Grants (page 1, line 11), JPB Member agency contributions (page 1, line 12) that were reduced due to a decrease in the annual insurance premiums and Other Income (page 1, line 5) due to
Union Pacific shared track and maintenance revenue. Year to Date Expenses: As of January year-to-date actual, the Total Expense (page 1, line 50) is $2.0 million higher than the prior year-to-date actual. This is primarily due to higher TASI costs (page 1 line 23), ), Fuel and Lubricants (page 1, line 29), Wages & Benefits (Page 1 line 39) and Professional Services (page1, line 42) offset by Insurance (page1, line 31) due to decrease in claims expense and reversal of claims reserve. BUDGET IMPACT There are no budget amendments for the month of January 2018. STRATEGIC INITIATIVE This item does not achieve a strategic initiative.

TO: Joint Powers Board THROUGH: Jim Hartnett
Executive Director FROM: Michelle Bouchard
Chief Operating Officer, Rail SUBJECT: KEY CALTRAIN PERFORMANCE STATISTICS – JANUARY 2018 ACTION Staff Coordinating Council recommends that the Board receive the Performance Report for January 2018. SIGNIFICANCE Staff will provide monthly updates to Key Caltrain Performance Statistics, Caltrain Shuttle Ridership, Caltrain Promotions, Special Event Updates and Social Media Analytics BUDGET IMPACT There is no budget impact. MONTHLY UPDATE In January 2018, Caltrain’s average weekday ridership (AWR) increased 3.2 percent to 57,018 from January 2017 AWR of 55,271. The total number of passengers who rode Caltrain in January 2018 increased 3.3 percent to 1,525,553 from 1,477,362 in January 2017. This month ticket sales for One Way tickets (up 29.1 percent), ED One Way tickets (up 18.2 percent), ED Day Passes (up 1.7 percent), Monthly Passes (up 0.2 percent) and ED Monthly Passes (up 6.9 percent) increased from January 2017. Ticket sales for Day Passes (down 6.5 percent) decreased from January 2017. The shift in fare product usage is due to the recent elimination of the 8-ride ticket. The number of Eligible Go Pass Employees decreased 2.3 percent from 75,622 to 73,903 from January 2017. The slight decrease in Go Pass Eligible Employees was likely due to the Go Pass increase from $237.50 to $285 per eligible user, with a minimum participation rate of $23,940 that was effective on January 1, 2018. Although several participants decided not to enroll in the 2018 Go Pass Program, there is continued interest by new participants currently in the enrollment process. Farebox Revenue increased 13.7 percent from January 2017 from $6,911,884 to $7,855,457.

On-time performance (OTP) for January 2018 was 96.2 percent, compared to 94.4 percent OTP for January 2017. In January 2018 there were 439 minutes of delay due to mechanical issues compared to 254 minutes in January 2017. Looking at customer service statistics, there were 8.5 complaints per 100,000 passengers in January 2018 which decreased from 9.1 in January 2017. Shuttle ridership for January 2018 is down 9.4 percent from January 2017. For the station shuttles, the Millbrae-Broadway shuttle averaged 156 daily riders. The Belmont-Hillsdale shuttle averaged 39 daily riders. The weekend Tamien-San Jose shuttle averaged 34 daily riders. When the Marguerite shuttle was removed, the impact to ridership was a decrease of 2.5 percent. Caltrain’s shuttle vendor’s ongoing staffing issues continued to impact the scheduled service on three shuttle routes. Reduced service was provided to the impacted routes. Staff continues to work with the shuttle vendor to resolve the issues and restore service. Caltrain Promotions – January 2018: MLK Train – Caltrain partnered with the Northern California Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Foundation (NorCalMLK Foundation) to run the annual special “Celebration Train” celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The Celebration Train ran on January 15, 2018 and stopped in San Jose, Palo Alto and San Mateo. Ridership for the 2018 Celebration Train was 925 riders, which represents a 3 percent decrease compared to 2017. Caltrain promoted the special service on boosted organic Social Media, press releases/blog, Caltrain’s website and through partnerships with the NorCalMLK Foundation and the San Mateo County Martin Luther King, Jr. Day communications. For the last three years, a commemorative ticket was printed and distributed to Celebration Train registrars. On-going promotions: San Jose Sharks at SAP Center – For the month of January, there were four home games played. Promotions include sponsored Facebook engagement ads through the end of April. Caltrain carried 1,178 Shark fans and regular riders for the month of January.

STAFF REPORT
TO: Joint Powers Board THROUGH: Jim Hartnett Executive Director FROM: Seamus Murphy Chief Communications Officer SUBJECT: STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE UPDATE ACTION Staff Coordinating Council recommends the Board receives the attached memos. Staff will provide regular updates to the Board in accordance with Legislative Program. SIGNIFICANCE The 2018 Legislative Program establishes the principles that will guide the legislative and regulatory advocacy efforts. Based on those principles, staff coordinates closely with our Federal and State advocates on a wide variety of issues that are considered in Congress and the State legislature. The attached reports highlight the recent issues and actions that are relevant to the Board. Prepared By: Casey Fromson, Government and

Caltrain Federal Update February 2018
Congress Passes Two-Year Budget Deal and Short Term Spending Measure On February 9, the Senate (71-28) and the House (240-186) passed—in one package—a budget deal and a short-term FY 2018 continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government through March 23. Shortly thereafter, the President signed the bill into law. The budget deal will set topline spending numbers for FY 2018 and 2019, with offsets and bipartisan reforms to minimize the deficit impact of increasing spending caps. The deal raises the spending caps by approximately $300 billion over two years; increases the limit on military spending by $80 billion in FY 2018 and $85 billion in FY 2019; and increases the limit on nondefense spending by $63 billion this year and $68 billion next year. The short-term CR will fund the government through March 23, giving the House and Senate Appropriations Committees time to craft a FY 2018 omnibus spending bill under the new budget cap guidelines. The bill directs specific amounts of money to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees to be used for different spending “buckets” – such as infrastructure – and directs the committees to distribute funds to each subcommittee to craft its appropriations bill to distribute the money, prior to the CR deadline. If an omnibus is completed before March 21, then appropriators will begin work on FY 2019 bills and aim to complete them before the fiscal year ends on September 30. The budget deal also includes the following over two years, FY 2018 and 2019:
• $89.3 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations for natural disasters – mostly hurricanes affecting Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, but also wildfires in the West.
• Extends the debt ceiling through March 1, 2019, past the November midterm elections. • A one-year extension of expired tax breaks that were not included in the December 2017
tax reform bill. • $6 billion over two years for anti-opioid and mental health efforts and extend
authorization of the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) for the next 10 years • Authorizes $7 billion in total funding for community health centers for two years and
closes the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit "donut hole" for seniors in 2019. • $20 billion for infrastructure including surface transportation, rural water and wastewater,
clean and safe drinking water, rural broadband, and energy infrastructure; • $5.8 billion for Child Care Development Block Grants; $4 billion to rebuild veterans
hospitals and clinics.
2 #55449838_v1
• $4 billion for college affordability programs, including those for police officers, firefighters and teachers.
While Minority Leader Schumer (D-NY) and Majority Leader McConnell (R-KY) were optimistic about the deal, calling it a “breakthrough” and the “first real sprout of bipartisanship,” a brief shutdown occurred because of Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) objection to the new budget agreement driving up federal deficits. House Democrats were also skeptical. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said she could not agree to a budget deal unaccompanied by immigration and DACA legislation. On the House floor, Pelosi said that without a DACA commitment from House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) comparable to that made by McConnell the package would not have her support, or that of a large number of House Democrats. However, enough House Democrats voted for the bill to advance funding, which led to final passage. Administration Introduces FY 2019 Budget Request On February 12, President Donald Trump submitted his budget request to Congress for fiscal year (FY) 2019. The President's budget request calls for approximately $4.4 trillion in total spending. Much of the budget seeks to scale back nondefense programs, and streamline permitting and review processes for projects. The administration projected an annualized economic growth of 3.1 percent over the next three years. It would add $984 billion to the federal deficit over the next year, despite seeking cuts to welfare programs such as Medicare and food stamps. Over the next 10 years, the plan would add $7 trillion to the deficit. The administration's request seeks $540 billion in nondefense spending for 2019, a $57 billion decrease from Congress' spending cap. Below is a summary of the Department of Transportation (DOT) budget summary. The budget does recommend $100 million for the Peninsula Corridor Electrification project. The President’s FY 2019 budget requests $76.8 billion for the Department of Transportation, which would be a reduction of $248.9 million decrease over FY 2017 enacted levels and $1.7 billion from the FY 2018 appropriations, averaging the House and Senate FY 2018 Transportation-HUD (THUD) Appropriations bills which Congress has not yet completed.
• This reflects the recent two-year budget deal. From that additional funding DOT is providing an additional $300 million for the Maritime Administration (MARAD) to fund the replacement of two of the Maritime Academies aging schoolships.
Highways: Provides $45,268,596,000, the FAST Act funding level for FY 2019 and a $2 billion increase over FY 2017 enacted levels and $1,034,384,000 increase over FY 2018 (both the House and Senate THUD Appropriations bills provided the FAST Act’s FY 2018 authorized level of $44,234,212,000)
• Includes a rescission of $216,951,000 of unspent allocated programs: $46 million from Appalachian Highways, $112 million in miscellaneous general fund appropriations for highways, and $59 million in miscellaneous earmarks of Highway Trust Fund (HTF) money.
3 #55449838_v1
• Similar to FY 2018 budget, this budget request does not recommend anything to fix the
Highway Trust Fund solvency after it runs out of money in FY 2021. The budget appendix does recommend adjusting the baseline which could delay funding to the states in the future: “…beginning in 2022, the Budget presents an adjusted baseline to account for the mismatch between baseline rules that require assuming that spending continues at current levels and the law limiting the spending from the HTF to the level of available balances in the HTF. Under current law, DOT is unable to reimburse States and grantees when the balances in the HTF, largely reflecting the level of incoming receipts, are insufficient to meet their requests. Relative to the BBEDCA baseline levels, reducing outlays from the HTF to the level of receipts in the adjusted baseline presentation results in a reduction in HTF outlays of $122.4 billion over the 2022-2028 window.”
TIGER: The budget proposes eliminating funding for TIGER grants, similar to last year’s budget request. Congress will likely ignore this request as the Senate included $550 million in the FY 2018 THUD Appropriations bill and TIGER has been funded in every final enacted appropriations bill since it was created including $500 million in FY 2017. Federal Transit Administration (FTA): $11,118,562,000, $1.29 billion decrease over FY 2017 enacted levels and $1,121,721,000 below House/Senate averaged FY 2018 THUD appropriations bills.
• Transit Formula Grants: The budget requests $9.939 billion, as enacted under the FAST Act, $205 million increase over FY 2017 enacted levels and $238 million increase over House/Senate averaged FY 2018 THUD appropriations bills.
• Capital Investment Grants (New Starts/Small Starts/Core Capacity): As in the FY 2018 budget, this budget proposes to stop funding new Capital Investment Grant projects. Requests $1 billion to fund the projects already under construction. This is $1.4 billion decrease over FY 2017 enacted levels and $942.95 million decrease over House/Senate averaged FY 2018 THUD appropriations bills.
o However, Congress will most likely ignore this request as the FY 2018 project proposed to cut the Capital Investment Grants program to $1.2 billion, and the House provided $1.8 billion and the Senate provided $2.1 billion. Since the new two-year budget deal provides additional money, there is no longer pressure to cut this account.
4 #55449838_v1
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA): $854 million in funding, $997 million decrease over FY 2017 enacted levels and $1.238 billion less than the House/Senate FY 2018 THUD averaged current funding levels.
• Amtrak: $737.897 million, $839 million below FY 2017 enacted levels and $776 million below the House/Senate FY 2018 THUD averaged funding levels. o Proposes that states pay half of the operating subsidy cost of long-distance routes
going through their state. o Proposes that railroads pay $50 million per year in new rail safety user fees to defray
FRA overhead costs.
• FAST Act Authorized Grant Programs: Does not provide any funding for the Federal-State Partnership for State of Good Repair (funded at $25 million in FY 2017), Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement (funded at $68 million in FY 2017), or Restoration and Enhance Grants program (funded at $5 million in FY 2017).
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA): The budget requests $16,122,290,000 for the FAA, a $285 million increase over FY 2017 enacted levels and $642.951 million below the House/Senate FY 2018 THUD averaged current funding levels.
• Airport Improvement Program (AIP): $3.35 billion, same as FY 2017 enacted levels. The program has been at this level since FY 2014 pending reauthorization.
5 #55449838_v1
White House Introduces Infrastructure Proposal: On February 12, 2018 the White House unveiled its a 55-page proposal for infrastructure investment, the Legislative Outline for Rebuilding Infrastructure. The sweeping proposal seeks to inject funding into several key areas and priorities. Broadly, the proposal outlines $200 billion in overall funding, as depicted below in Figure 1. Figure 1
As Figure 1 depicts, the Administration will seek to target Federal money to projects with significant funding contributions from States, local governments, private entities, and other non-Federal sources and offers recommendations for project streamlining. It does not, however, include any new revenue to pay for the $200 billion of new Federal spending. Without identification of funding sources, doubtful that Congress will be able to pass infrastructure legislation. Congressional committees have started to hold hearings on infrastructure including several on water infrastructure and the Water Resources Development Act, the legislation that authorizes Army Corps of Engineers policy and projects. There is possibility that several of the water related policy provisions could be included in WRDA legislation that the House Transportation and Infrastructure and Senate Environment and Public Works Committees are hopeful to pass this year. INFRASTRUCTURE INCENTIVES PROGRAM FUNDING Funding: $100 billion for a new incentive (competitive) grants program. This money would be distributed primarily between Department of Transportation (DOT), Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and
6 #55449838_v1
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)—and then other Federal agencies could ask DOT, the Corps, and EPA for funding. The amount of an incentive grant would be capped at 20 percent of the new revenue that the entity is raising, and could be combined with a Federal loan or a private activity bond (PAB). Each State cannot receive more than 10 percent of the total amount available under the Incentives Program. Applicability: The proposal says the program “would provide support to wide-ranging classes of assets, including the following governmental infrastructure: surface transportation and airports, passenger rail, ports and waterways, flood control, water supply, hydropower, water resources, drinking water facilities, wastewater facilities, stormwater facilities, and Brownfield and Superfund sites.” Program: Each lead Federal agency would solicit applications after the enactment of the Incentives Program and every six months thereafter, and each agency will determine the content, format and timing of the applications. Potential project sponsors could apply to its lead Federal agency for a grant, which will be judged primarily on how much new non-Federal revenue can be brought to the table. State/local sponsors who enacted a tax increase for infrastructure in the three years before February 2018 would get some credit for those revenues on a sliding scale, which was not described, in the proposal. The agencies “would calculate each application score by multiplying the weighted score from the evaluation criteria by the percentage of non-Federal revenues (out of total revenues) that would be used to fund the project or program of projects.” Evaluation Criteria:
• The dollar value of the project or program of projects (weighted at 10 percent); • Evidence supporting how the applicant will secure and commit new, non-Federal revenue
to create sustainable, long-term funding for infrastructure investments (weighted at 50 percent);
• Evidence supporting how the applicant will secure and commit new, non-Federal revenue for operations, maintenance and rehabilitation (weighted at 20 percent);
• Updates to procurement policies and project delivery approaches to improve efficiency in project delivery and operations (weighted at 10 percent);
• Plans to incorporate new and evolving technologies (weighted at 5 percent); and • Evidence supporting how the project will spur economic and social returns on investment
(weighted at 5 percent). RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM Funding: $50 billion for grants to rural areas that lack the tax base or the passenger/freight throughput to utilize much financial leveraging. 80 percent of that money ($40 billion) would be given out as block grants to governors via some kind of rural population/rural road-miles formula that is not spelled out in the plan. The goal is that this block grant money would have very few Federal
7 #55449838_v1
strings attached. The other 20 percent would go for “performance grants” selected by the Federal government. These grants are intended for rural areas with populations of less than 50,000 and there would also be a set aside for Tribal infrastructure and territorial infrastructure. Applicability: The proposal says the program would support traditional transportation infrastructure as well as broadband, water and waste, power and electric and water resources. Further, the program only would apply to the specified asset classes and to other infrastructure that is essential to the operation of those assets. Evaluation Criteria: In addition to receiving formula funds, States could apply for rural performance grants.
• Qualification for rural performance grants will require States to: o Publish a comprehensive rural infrastructure investment plan o Demonstrate the quality of any investments planned with rural performance funds o Demonstrate how they will leverage formula funds with Federal credit programs
and rewarding rural interstate projects through the infrastructure incentives program
TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECTS PROGRAM Funding: $20 billion, led by the Department of Commerce, for projects that are likely to be commercially viable, but have characteristics that otherwise deter private sector investment. The goal is fund riskier projects that could have transformational effects if successful. Infrastructure sectors covered by this program could include, but would not be limited to transportation, clean water, drinking water, energy, commercial space, and broadband. Eligible funding could be used for—
• Up to 30 percent of eligible costs under the demonstration track; • Up to 50 percent of eligible costs under the project planning track; and • Up to 80 percent of eligible costs under the capital construction track.
Evaluation Criteria: To be determined by a Department of Commerce led committee that would be comprised by other relevant cabinet agencies. Other important factors This program is intentionally vague in details on how this would be implement. The point is to create a program that is flexible enough so the decision makers could be as creative as possible in funding innovative but risky projects. INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING PROGRAMS
8 #55449838_v1
Funding: $20 billion to advance major, complex infrastructure projects by increasing the capacity of existing Federal credit programs and by broadening the use of private activity bonds (PABs).
• $14 billion to be given to existing Federal credit programs to pay for credit subsidy authority to make new loans and loan guarantees to sponsors of infrastructure projects.
o Expand DOT Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Funding and Broaden Program Eligibility Additional budget authority Support airport and non-Federal waterways and port financing options
o Expand Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) and Broaden Program Eligibility Additional budget authority for RRIF subsidy costs for 10 years Provide funding for RRIF credit risk premium
o Expand Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) Funding and Broaden Program Eligibility Eliminating lending limit of $3.2 billion and provide additional budget
authority to EPA for subsidy costs Broadens the eligibility of the program
• Includes non-Federal flood mitigation navigation and water supply. • Eliminate requirements under WIFIA for borrowers to be
community water systems. • Authorizes Brownfield rehabilitation and cleanup of Superfund
sites under WIFIA. • Reduces rating agency opinions from two to one for all borrowers • Provides EPA authority to waive the springing lien in certain
lending situations. • Increases the base level of administrative funding authorized to
ensure EPA has sufficient funding to operate the WIFIA program. • Removes the restriction on the ability to reimburse costs incurred
prior to loan closing under WIFIA. • Expands the WIFIA program to authorize eligibility for credit
assistance for water system acquisitions and restructurings. • Expands WIFIA authorization to include Federal deauthorized
water resource projects. o Expands Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (RUS) lending
programs funding. • $6 billion to represent the estimated cost to the Treasury over ten years of the lost tax
revenue because of the increased issuance of PABs paying tax-exempt interest that will be issued under the more expansive PAB rules proposed in the plan.
CHANGES TO EXISTING PROGRAMS Highways
• Allow States to toll existing Interstates, as long as the toll proceeds are used for infrastructure.
• Provides flexibility for the States to commercialize Interstate rest areas.
9 #55449838_v1
• Increases the threshold for Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) “major project oversight” rules from $500 million to $1 billion per project. Amending the law to raise the threshold for major projects from $500 million to $1 billion would remove unnecessary oversight requirements from smaller, less complex projects that are routinely managed by FHWA and State departments of transportation.
• States would be allowed to pay the Federal government back for the Federal contribution for already-completed highway projects to be relieved of Federal compliance that is attached to that project. These Federal requirements typically include “restrictions on tolling; requirements pertaining to the location of a commercial plaza within the right-of-way of an Interstate highway; restrictions on Interstate access; and compliance with size and weight standards, highway beautification standards, and high occupancy vehicle lane operation standards.”
• Allows States to do utility relocation before the NEPA process is completed. Mass Transit
• Mandate “value capture” as a component of all new subway and light rail projects and would eliminate existing legal constraints on the use of public-private partnerships in mass transit.
The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) defines value capture as “instruments allow jurisdictions to collect revenue in specific areas and direct that revenue towards specific improvements.” Mechanisms include: special assessment districts, tax increment financing (TIF), impact fees, joint development, and split‐rate property taxes
• The Expedited Project Delivery for Capital Investment Grants (CIG) Pilot Program, which was created in the FAST Act, would be permanently codified and its Federal share is increased from 25 percent to 50 percent.
In this pilot program, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) can select up to eight New Starts, Small Starts, or Core Capacity projects that are supported through public-private partnerships during the FAST Act authorization (FY 2016-2020).
Airports
• The proposal would allow small hub airports to apply for permission to levy passenger facility charges (PFCs) and relieves the paperwork that now currently only applies to non-hub airports.
• Expands the existing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Privatization Pilot Program. The proposal removes the current cap that only allows 10 airports, including only one large hub airport. Also changes the existing requirement that 65 percent of carriers at an airport must approve privatization to a simple majority.
• Allows airports to offer incentive payments for early completion of Airport Improvement Program (AIP) projects.
• Limits FAA approval and oversight of non-aviation development activities at airports Rail
• Lowers the statute of limitations for challenges to the permitting of rail projects from two years to 150 days (allowed for highway and transit project in the FAST Act).
10 #55449838_v1
Water
• Allows “privately owned public-purpose treatment works” to utilize the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF), similar to the Safe Drinking SRF.
• Provides the EPA with similar statutory authority to the former FHWA SEP-15 authority to experiment with new project delivery provisions. This will allow the EPA Administrator “to explore alternative and innovative approaches” to the overall project delivery process (contracting, compliance with environmental requirements, right-of-way acquisition, and project finance) and to develop more effective approaches to project planning, project development, finance, design, construction, maintenance, and operations.” State departments of transportation and local transportation agencies have been able to utilizes SEP-15 to expedited project delivery.
• Provides “flexibility to the application of Federal requirements where the project funding is primarily non-Federal and the Federal share is minimal.”
Army Corps of Engineers
• Authorizes the Corps to execute agreements with non- Federal entities to use Federal dollars for construction, repair, rehab, maintenance and operation of inland waterways.
• Establishes a pilot program that would authorize the issuance of user fees to carry out Corps projects at up to 10 sites to enable public-private partnerships under the Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) of 2014 Water Infrastructure Public-Private Partnership Pilot Program.
• Extends the duration of a contract that the Corps can sign from 5 years to 50 years. This will allow the Corps “to enter into long term contracts that encompass the full life-cycle management of infrastructure assets in the program.”
• Would allow the Corps to determine whether operation and maintenance functions at hydropower facilities on Corps projects are commercial activities and appropriate for non-Federal entities.
• Creates a streamlined deauthorization process for old Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) projects that allows for Corps projects approaching the end of their service life and for those projects operated and maintained by non-Federal interests that do not require Federal oversight. This would relieve the Federal regulatory and statutory compliance including Section 408 review.
• Currently, a local sponsor can provide local fund to the Corps through contributed and advanced funds to—hopefully—expedite Corps projects. However, under current law, the Corps process to accept the contributed and advanced funds is limited and often takes a long time, and the Corps is unable to take the benefit of a willing sponsor to provide local funds to expedite a project. The proposal would expand the authority for the acceptance of contributed funds even if no Federal funds have been appropriated for the authorized project. And, expands the applicability of advanced funds authority to all authorized water resources studies and projects that “would increase non-Federal spending and expedite project execution.”
February 20, 2018 TO: Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board Members FROM: Mike Robson and Trent Smith, Edelstein Gilbert Robson & Smith, LLC Joshua W. Shaw and Matt Robinson, Shaw / Yoder / Antwih, Inc. RE: STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE – FEBRUARY 2018 _______________________________________________________________________ Overview The Legislature returned in January to commence business in the 2018 Legislative Session. Most legislative activity is driven by constitutional and self-imposed deadlines and as we previously reported the bill introduction deadline occurred on February 16. That deadline drove the introduction of over 700 bills on that Friday alone. Overall, the Legislature has submitted 2,177 bills for consideration in the 2018 Legislative Session. With such a large number of bills submitted, many of which only currently state legislative intent, it will take some time for the Government Affairs team to review and ascertain which bills are of most importance to the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board. There are several issue areas that have garnered the attention of legislators to date that are worth noting based on the bills that have been introduced, and legislative activity to date. High Speed Rail In recent legislative sessions, there have been numerous bills introduced by Republican legislators to limit or amend the High Speed Rail Bond Act to prohibit additional spending on High Speed Rail. Those bills have failed to advance beyond the first committee hearing. In 2018, however, legislative attention to spending on High Speed Rail has moved beyond press releases and has picked up bipartisan attention. Senator Jim Beall from San Jose, Chair of the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee and Republican Assemblyman Jim Patterson from Fresno were successful in requesting the Joint Legislative Audit Committee to approve an audit of the High Speed Rail Authority’s policies and practices. In requesting the audit, Senator Beall and Assemblyman Patterson noted that the High Speed Rail project faces numerous regulatory, political, and funding problems. They asked that the audit identify ways to reduce the overall cost of the project and to examine the authority’s contract management practices. There have been several legislative measures that have been introduced as placeholder bills, termed “spot” bills by legislative insiders, that could be used as legislative vehicles to implement recommendations from the audit. These are bills that have been put into the hopper simply to meet the bill introduction deadline and are now holding a “spot” and can be amended at a later date with substantive statutory language.
State Legislative Update February 20, 2018 Page Two Those bills include:
• SB 1172 by Senator Beall which deals with public outreach by the High Speed Rail Authority.
• SB 1387 by Senator Beall dealing with obsolete provisions of the Peninsula Rail District. • SB 1307 by Senator Galgiani dealing with High Speed Rail funding. • AB 3135 by Assembly Transportation Committee Chair, Jim Frazier, dealing with the
compensation of the High Speed Rail Executive Director. Housing and Infill Development Many legislators continue to push efforts to increase housing availability and construction in anticipation of the Housing Bond on the November 2018 ballot. There have been numerous bills introduced either in “spot” form or with substantive provision elements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in an effort to streamline infill development and housing near transit. We will have a better grasp of these bills in the coming weeks. Transit-Specific Legislation SB 2034 (Kalra) – Human Trafficking This bill would require the operator of an intercity passenger rail, light rail, or bus station to train its employees to recognize signs of human trafficking and how to report to authorities. SB 1119 (Newman) – Low Carbon Transit Funding This bill would make transit fare subsidies an eligible expenditure for the state’s Low Carbon Transit Operations Program. All newly introduced legislation must sit in print for 30 days before it can be amended or acted on. Legislative policy committee hearings will begin in March with most bills being heard in April with the policy committee deadline of April 27 driving most legislative action.

PENINSULA CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS BOARD STAFF REPORT
TO: Joint Powers Board THROUGH: Jim Hartnett
Executive Director
FROM: April Chan Chief Officer, Planning, Grants and Transportation Authority SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE APPLICATION FOR AND RECEIPT OF ANNUAL CAP AND
TRADE FUNDING FOR THE PENINSULA CORRIDOR ELECTRIFICATION PROJECT ACTION Staff Coordinating Council (SCC) recommends the Board:
1. Authorize the Executive Director, or his designee, to apply for and receive $1.15 million in California Low Carbon Transportation Operations Program (LCTOP) funds from the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for the Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP); and
2. Authorize the Executive Director, or his designee, to take such actions as may be necessary to give effect to this resolution, including filing and executing annual cap-and-trade funding applications, certifications and assurances, authorized agent forms, related amendments and any other documentation required to apply for and receive LCTOP funds.
SIGNIFICANCE The LCTOP is one of several funding programs that are part of a broad-based State effort to invest cap-and-trade auction proceeds to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as required under California’s climate action law, A.B. 32. These funds are distributed annually on a formula basis to transit agencies and Metropolitan Planning Organizations, including the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in the Bay Area. Similar to the State Transit Assistance program, transit agencies receive a portion of the funds directly based on operating revenues. Caltrans is the administering agency for the funds and requires eligible funding recipients to submit annual resolutions by authorizing agency officer(s) to execute and process the application materials associated with LCTOP funds. Caltrans also requires applicants to specify the projects to receive the LCTOP funds within the resolution. For Fiscal Year 2018 (FY18), the JPB’s allocation of LCTOP funding is $1.15 million. The Board has previously committed $9 million in LCTOP funds to the PCEP as part of the seven-party supplemental memorandum of understanding and SCC recommends these funds be allocated to the PCEP in keeping with the agreement.
Page 2 of 2
14161836.1
BUDGET IMPACT There is no budget impact associated with this action. A total of $9 million in LCTOP funds are included in the overall funding plan for PCEP. To date, $2.5 million of this amount has been received for PCEP. With the FY18 allocation, a total of $3.65 million in LCTOP funds will have been received for PCEP. BACKGROUND The LCTOP provides capital funding as well as operational assistance for expanded transit service to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve mobility. The LCTOP program is funded annually with 5 percent of the auction proceeds from the State’s cap-and-trade program. Prepared by: Peter Skinner, Manager, Grants and Fund Programming 650.622.7818

8. Capital Projects –
The Capital Projects information is current as of February 14, 2018 and is subject to change between February 14 and March 1, 2018 (Board Meeting).
• San Francisco Highway Bridges: Replace three obsolete overhead vehicular bridges located in San Francisco at 23rd Street, 22nd Street, and Paul Avenue. Construction started in March 2015 and was substantially completed in May 2017. Staff is waiting for the delivery of specialized materials in order to resolve a Buy America issue related to the fire hydrants that were installed as part of the project. The delivery of the materials has been extended to February 2018 due to supplier’s manufacturing delays. Installation of the material is planned for March. Staff is also continuing discussions with Caltrans, City of San Francisco, and third-party utilities to secure additional funding and reimbursement for additional incurred costs associated with their portion of work. PG&E has reimbursed the PCJPB for their associated costs. Discussions regarding cost reimbursement from the City of San Francisco for their Auxiliary Water Supply System (AWSS) continue. The AT&T relocation reimbursement request was completed by staff and is still under review by legal counsel before transmittal to AT&T. Caltrans funding discussions are pending completion of the fire hydrants in March.
• San Mateo 25th Avenue Grade Separation Project: Raise the elevation
of the alignment from Hillsdale Boulevard to south of the Highway 92 Overcrossing in the city of San Mateo. The project creates a grade separation at 25th Avenue, relocates the Hillsdale Station to the north, and creates two new east-west street grade-separated connections at 28th and 31st Avenues in San Mateo. Construction of the elevated rail alignment

and the new Hillsdale Station will be phased to limit impact to the operating railroad. During the past month, placement of the final project Cast-In-Drilled-Hole (CIDH) pile foundations is to be completed at the 25th Avenue Bridge. Traffic control measures have been instituted on 25th Avenue to allow construction of the foundations on the north and south sides of 25th Avenue, the center bent in the median, and to maintain public access to the local businesses. Work also continued for the bridge over Borel Creek, and, the Pedestrian Underpass between 28th and 31st Avenues. The temporary closure of the Hillsdale Station, to allow completion of the project, is forecast to occur in late 2018. During the temporary closure, enhanced bus and shuttle service to the Belmont Station will be provided to minimize the temporary inconvenience. Overall construction is expected to complete in early 2020.
• Los Gatos Creek Bridge: Replace the substandard 80-year old railroad
bridge that is located south of the Diridon Station in San Jose. The construction contract was awarded in October 2016 to DMZ Builders and the Notice to Proceed was issued in late January 2017. Due to environmental regulations, bridge construction activities that are within the creek’s waterways are limited to the period between June and October 2017. During the past month, the contractor completed final punchlist activities for signal testing for the Tailtrack and street and roadway clean-up items that were coordinated with the City of San Jose. The remaining activities are for close-out of the construction contract and project. This is the final report for this project.
• South San Francisco Station Improvements: Replace the existing side platforms with a new centerboard platform, construction of a new connecting pedestrian underpass to two new plazas in downtown South San Francisco to the west and the shuttle area to east. Upon completion, the hold-out rule at this station will be removed that currently impacts the overall system operational efficiency. A Limited Notice to Proceed was issued to the contractor on October 9 to commence the planned 60-day administrative period which precedes the start of field construction. The contractor is delinquent in providing required administrative submittals; therefore, the Notice to Proceed is delayed from the planned start in December. A restricted Limited Notice to Proceed was issued in February to allow specified trackwork construction items to proceed which is required to build temporary station platforms that will be needed to construct the project. Contract completion remains scheduled by mid-2019. Third party utility relocations, except for Kinder-Morgan fuel

lines, are still awaiting the City of South San Francisco’s acquisition of an encroachment permit from Caltrans. Site coordination with the Electrification project continues as the Electrification contractor is currently working just north of the South San Francisco station.
• Redwood City Grade Crossing Improvements: The scope of this project is to improve the safety devices at three grade crossings within the city of Redwood City at Whipple Avenue, Main Street, and Broadway. The project will improve the Whipple Avenue crossing with new vehicular and pedestrian gates, new sidewalks and ramps, new pavement markings and striping. At Broadway, new pedestrian gates will be installed and new pavement markings will be added. At Main Street, new fencing, pedestrian gates, and pavement markings will be installed. The design and construction schedule of this project has been coordinated with the City’s improvements in the same area. The Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) was issued to the contractor on November 8th and the contractor has completed the administrative requirements. The Notice to Proceed was issued on February 9, 2018 and the contractor is commencing construction with the directional boring for underground electrical conduits at Broadway, Main and Whipple. Upon completion of directional boring, by the end of February, the contractor is planning to proceed in March with the work on Broadway. Construction is expected to be substantially complete by July 2018.
• FY16 Grade Crossing Improvements Project: The scope of this project is to improve the safety at 10 grade crossings along the corridor. Work items included are the installation of signals, fences, gates, curbs, lighting and signs. The existing grade crossing warning devices will be retrofitted to meet the latest California Public Utilities Commission standards. The crossings to be improved include 16th Street in San Francisco, Broadway in Burlingame, Peninsula and 4th Ave. in San Mateo, Ravenswood in Menlo Park, Alma and Charleston in Palo Alto, Rengstorff and Castro in Mountain View, and Mary in Sunnyvale. The construction contract also includes the installation of medians at five crossings in Santa Clara County. The scopes of two projects were combined into a single construction contract to improve cost and administrative efficiency. These medians are required by the FRA and are intended to create a barrier that discourages vehicles from driving around down crossing gates. The five crossings are Churchill and East Meadow in Palo Alto, Sunnyvale Avenue in Sunnyvale, and Auzerais and West Virginia in San Jose.
Jim Hartnett February 21, 2018 Page 6

The construction contract was approved for award at the January 4, 2018 Board meeting. Contract execution is still in progress as the contractor has not yet submitted the required insurance documents. The Limited Notice to Proceed, originally expected in February, is now forecast to be issued in March. Construction is expected to last 1-year from the Limited Notice to proceed.
• Sunnyvale Station Rehabilitation Project: Replace the surface pavers in the station platform with colored cast-in-place concrete and the relocation of the north pedestrian crossing to the north by approximately 83 feet. Some of the surfaces of the platform pavers have become uneven and this project will create a smooth and even platform surface. The relocation of the north pedestrian crossing will help to clear the southern crossing that is currently partially blocked when northbound 6-car consists arrive at the Sunnyvale Station. The construction contract was awarded to Sposeto Engineering on September 7th. The Limited Notice to Proceed was issued on December 15th to commence the 60-day administrative period; the Notice To Proceed is forecast to be issued in late February to early March. Construction is expected to begin in March 2018 and complete by the summer of 2018.
• Inward Facing Cameras: Install cameras on locomotives and cab cars that will video and voice record the train operators during revenue operations. Currently there are outward facing cameras on locomotives that record the right-of-way from the vantage point of the operators. The inward facing cameras are recommended by the National Transportation Research Board and assists in post-accident investigations. Inward facing cameras are already in service on Metrolink in Southern California and by railroads such as the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe. The Notice to Proceed was issued to Rail Power Services LLC on December 21, 2017. Administrative and design submittals are in progress. The contractor is procuring materials and coordinating vehicle availability and the scheduling of installations with the Mechanical department staff at the Centralized Equipment and Maintenance Facility (CEMOF) in San Jose. Completion of installation and testing is anticipated by the spring of 2018.
• HVAC Improvements at the CCF Communications Equipment Room:
Improve the cooling systems in the electronics equipment room at the Central Control Facility in San Jose. The amount of electronic equipment has greatly increased which has resulted in overloading of the existing cooling system. With the addition of newer systems such as CBOSS/PTC,
Jim Hartnett February 21, 2018 Page 7

ROCS/PADS, and upgrades to communications systems; the capacity of the existing cooling system is inadequate to maintain a sufficiently cool temperature. Equipment failure to critical systems such as dispatching and communications due to overheating is an unacceptable operational risk. Currently, this problem is being temporarily addressed by using rental cooling systems that are inadequate for future expansion and is costly. This project will address current and future cooling capacity by adding and replacing current cooling systems with newer and more efficient cooling equipment. The contract was awarded in November to Smith Electric Service. The contract has been executed and a Limited Notice to Proceed was issued on December 11, 2017, the administrative requirements were completed and the Notice to Proceed was issued on January 29, 2018. Currently the contractor is procuring materials and submitting work plans for approval. Construction is expected to begin construction in March and complete by the summer of 2018.

Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project
Monthly Progress Report
Background 1-1 January 31, 2018
1.0 BACKGROUND
Over the last decade, Caltrain has experienced a substantial increase in ridership and anticipates further increases in ridership demand as the San Francisco Bay Area’s population grows. The Caltrain Modernization (CalMod) Program, scheduled to be implemented by 2020, will electrify and upgrade the performance, operating efficiency, capacity, safety, and reliability of Caltrain’s commuter rail service.
The PCEP is a key component of the CalMod Program and consists of converting Caltrain from diesel-hauled to Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) trains for service between the San Francisco Station (at the intersection of Fourth and King Streets in San Francisco) and the Tamien Station in San Jose. Caltrain will continue Gilroy service and support existing tenants.
An electrified Caltrain will better address Peninsula commuters’ vision of environmentally friendly, fast and reliable service. Electrification will modernize Caltrain and make it possible to increase service while offering several advantages in comparison with existing diesel power use, including:
Improved Train Performance, Increased Ridership Capacity and Increased Service: Electrified trains can accelerate and decelerate more quickly than diesel-powered trains, allowing Caltrain to run more efficiently. In addition, because of their performance advantages, electrified trains will enable more frequent and/or faster train service to more riders.
Increased Revenue and Reduced Fuel Cost: An electrified Caltrain will increase ridership and fare revenues while decreasing fuel costs.
Reduced Engine Noise Emanating from Trains: Noise from electrified train engines is measurably less than noise from diesel train engines. Train horns will continue to be required at grade crossings, adhering to current safety regulations.
Improved Regional Air Quality and Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Electrified trains will produce substantially less corridor air pollution compared with diesel trains even when the indirect emissions from electrical power generation are included. Increased ridership will reduce automobile usage, resulting in additional air quality benefits. In addition, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions will improve our regional air quality, and will also help meet the state’s emission reduction goals.

Change Management 9-1 January 31, 2018
9.0 CHANGE MANAGEMENT
The change management process establishes a formal administrative work process associated with the initiation, documentation, coordination, review, approval and implementation of changes that occur during the design, construction or manufacturing of the PCEP. The change management process accounts for impacts of the changes and ensures prudent use of contingency.
Currently the three PCEP contracts are BBII, Stadler, and SCADA. Future PCEP contracts such as CEMOF Modifications and the Tunnel Notching will also follow the change management process.
A log of all executed change orders can be found in Appendix E.

Risk Management 11-1 January 31, 2018
11.0 RISK MANAGEMENT
The risk management process is conducted in an iterative fashion throughout the life of the project. During this process, new risks are identified, other risks are resolved or managed, and potential impacts and severity modified based on the current situation. The Risk Management team’s progress report includes a summary on the effectiveness of the Risk Management Plan, any unanticipated effects, and any correction needed to handle the risk appropriately.
The Risk Management team meets monthly to identify risks and corresponding mitigation measures. Each risk is graded based on the potential cost and schedule impacts they could have on the project. This collection of risks has the greatest potential to affect the outcome of the project and consequently is monitored most closely. For each of the noted risks, as well as for all risks on the risk register, mitigation measures have been identified and are being implemented. Progress in mitigating these risks is confirmed at monthly risk assessment meetings attended by project team management and through continuous monitoring of the Risk Management Lead.
The team has identified the following items as top risks for the project (see Appendix F for the complete Risk Table):
BBII may be unable to develop grade crossing modifications that meet operational requirements prior to scheduled sub-system testing of the grade crossings.
A complex and diverse collection of major program elements may not be successfully integrated with existing operations and infrastructure.
PG&E may not be able to deliver permanent power for the project within the existing budget and in accordance with the project schedule.
Additional work in the form of signal/pole adjustments may be required to remedy sight distance impediments arising from modifications to original design.
Working Positive Train Control (PTC) signal system may not be in place in advance of integrated testing and commissioning.
Design changes may necessitate additional implementation of environmental mitigations not previously budgeted.
Relocation of overhead utilities must precede installation of catenary wire and connections to TPSs. Relocation work will be performed by others and may not be completed to meet BBII’s construction schedule.
Collaboration across multiple disciplines may fail to comprehensively address all of the elements required to operate and maintain an electrified railroad and decommission the current diesel fleet.
BBII may be unable to get permits required by jurisdictions for construction in a timely manner.
UPRR does not accept catenary pole offsets from centerline of track necessitating further negotiation or relocation of poles.

BBII proposed that 5.2% of the total Design-Build contract value ($36,223,749) would be subcontracted to DBEs. As expressed in Figure 17-1 below, to date:
$18,093,316 has been awarded to DBE subcontractors.
$ 5,527,305 has been paid to DBE subcontractors.
Figure 17-1 DBE Participation
Upcoming DBE/Small Business Enterprise opportunities with BBII:
In order to reach the 5.2% goal, BBII has proposed the following key actions:
“Identify Subcontracting Agreements with Non-DBE Subcontractors
The identification of non-DBE subcontractors is important to the reporting of all subcontracting activity on the project. Often non-DBE subcontractors will sub-contract with DBE firms to perform required services or furnish supplies needed to assist in completing their work tasks related to the project. It is important that DBE firms working as subcontractors to the major non-DBE firms:
Have a subcontracting agreement.
Are performing a "commercially useful function" on the project.
Are being paid promptly according to the contract.
Those payments are contributed toward achievement of the project's DBE goal.

DBE Participation 17-2 January 31, 2018
During the month, BBII project staff will continue outreach to the major non-DBE subcontractors on the project to define, monitor and accurately count the level of DBE participation.”

AGENDA ITEM #8 MARCH 1, 2018
PENINSULA CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS BOARD
STAFF REPORT
TO: Joint Powers Board THROUGH: Jim Hartnett Executive Director FROM: Michelle Bouchard Chief Operating Officer, Rail SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT TO WABTEC RAILWAY ELECTRONICS FOR
COMPLETION OF THE POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL PROJECT ACTION The Board's Ad Hoc Committee on PTC recommends the Joint Powers Board approve the following:
1. Approve a contract with Wabtec Railway Electronics, Inc. (Wabtec), in an amount not to exceed $45,012,123, to complete the JPB's Positive Train Control (PTC) System.
2. Establish a contract contingency of 10% and authorize the Executive Director to approve change orders up to the contingency amount.
3. Authorize the Executive Director or his designee to execute the contract in a form approved by legal counsel, with full implementation of the agreed upon Funding Partners’ Oversight Protocol including monthly reports to the Board.
SIGNIFICANCE This contract will allow the JPB to complete the PTC project in a manner that is the most financially and technologically advantageous, will maximize the JPB's ability to comply with the federal PTC mandate for implementation of PTC and will minimize costs to the JPB resulting from the termination of the Parsons Transportation Group contract. The contract recognizes that there are two elements of scope, the fiber optic backbone and the back office, that require further field assessment prior to official incorporation. The assessment will address issues of poor workmanship by the terminated contractor who the JPB will hold responsible through pending litigation. Once the assessment is complete, these elements will be added via change order. Wabtec provided a final proposal, including a revised price proposal. Staff has analyzed Wabtec's price proposal and finds it fair and reasonable as compared to the Independent Cost Estimate prepared by an outside consultant.
Page 2 of 6
BUDGET IMPACT The recommended actions establish a contract budget in the amount of $49.5 million, including $4.5 million in contingency and $2 million in potential bonus payments as described below. The new contract with Wabtec also calls for a collaborative process for the parties to share in any cost overruns as well as cost savings on certain designated high risk items that are valued at $1.9 million and are included in the contract. To provide incentive for Wabtec to meet the PTC statutory deadline requirements of full hardware installation and revenue service demonstration on a designated portion of the line by December of 2018, the contract creates two bonuses, each in the amount of $1 million, for timely satisfaction of these requirements. Wabtec is not eligible for either bonus if it charges the JPB for change orders for work related to these requirements. The contract also includes appropriate liquidated damages for delays in completing the contract. In sum, this innovative balancing of incentives and assessments, of “carrots and sticks,” results in a risk-sharing approach that best balances the JPB’s twin goals of maximizing cost efficiencies with the need for timely performance.
Funding for this $49.5 million contract budget is available in the remaining committed funding for the PTC project in the amount of $59.8 million. Total program budget to complete the project will require additional funding for JPB support costs in future fiscal years. Staff is carefully evaluating current and projected capital needs, as well as investigating opportunities for future grant funding and other financial vehicles to cover the balance of these future program costs. A long-term funding plan will be developed and brought to the Board for approval in the beginning of FY 2019. BACKGROUND In September, 2008, a Union Pacific freight train collided head on with a Metrolink commuter train in the Chatsworth district of Los Angeles, causing 25 fatalities and many more injuries. Shortly thereafter, Congress enacted the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA), requiring all class 1 freight and commuter railroads to implement Positive Train Control Systems (PTC). PTC is a term created by the Federal Railroad Administration to describe an advanced technology train collision/train derailment avoidance system. A PTC system uses advanced technology and safety critical predictive enforcement to automatically engage the brakes and stop a train in advance of (1) potential train to train collision, (2) train over-speed, (3) unauthorized entry into a track work zone, and (4) movement through a misaligned switch. In response to the RSIA, and after a lengthy competitive process, on October 6, 2011 the JPB awarded Contract 10-PCJPB-T-021 to Parsons Transportation Group to implement the JPB's PTC system. At the time the contract was awarded, PTC technology was still in its infancy. Parsons offered a General Electric ITCS solution that had been successfully deployed on both domestic and foreign passenger railroads. This product was determined to meet all of the JPB's performance requirements as well as the basic requirements of the federal PTC mandate. At the time, the freight railroads
Page 3 of 6
were implementing PTC through a system designed by Wabtec, which was the second highest ranked proposer to the JPB's RFP. The JPB did not select Wabtec, at least in part, because at that time, its passenger rail functionality was not well developed. Over the last five years, Wabtec has matured its technology such that this is no longer the case—in fact multiple commuter rail operators are implementing PTC with a Wabtec-based solution. Currently, Wabtec’s project list includes more than 15 passenger rail clients including Metrolink (LA), Coaster (San Diego), ACE, Capitol Corridor in California. Effective February 22, 2017, the JPB terminated its contract with Parsons Transportation Group (Parsons) for nonperformance. This termination followed many months of delay and Parsons' repeated failure to cure its deficient performance. The impacts of termination on the JPB's efforts to keep the PTC program moving forward in 2017 have been documented in reports to this Board over the last year. Since termination, the JPB has acted with urgency to 1) implement the most appropriate PTC solution from a financial and technology perspective; 2) ensure compliance with the federal mandate to implement PTC; and 3) minimize its damages resulting from Parsons' termination. The JPB project team has engaged in the following activities in furtherance of these goals:
• JPB has worked with all stakeholders and with representatives of the FRA to ensure that the JPB's plans for implementation of PTC meet all regulatory and technical requirements such that the JPB's PTC system will meet all safety requirements. In particular, JPB’s Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, Rail recently met with the FRA Administrator to ensure that the JPB’s plans for implementing PTC are in accordance with FRA requirements.
• JPB has pursued every reasonable opportunity to craft a solution by which Parsons could complete the project, both prior to and following termination. This option has proven unsuccessful and the JPB and Parsons are now in litigation against each other.
• JPB has explored all other opportunities deemed feasible and available with
other potential contractors to complete the PTC project by replacing Parsons and utilizing the same technologies as Parsons proposed using. These opportunities have proven unavailing as the technologies used by Parsons, in particular that of the key subcontractor Alstom, are unavailable to the JPB at pricing and commercial terms that are fair and reasonable.
• JPB has pursued all available opportunities to bring Parsons' key subcontractor, Alstom, under direct contract with the JPB to complete its work. These opportunities have proven unavailing as Alstom has placed contractual conditions on any agreement that are not feasible or practical, and has demanded a prohibitively unreasonable price.
• JPB has revisited the original procurement process that led to the contract award to Parsons, soliciting proposals from the other original Proposers, in
Page 4 of 6
particular Wabtec, which was the second-highest ranked proposer in the original competitive solicitation.
• JPB has conducted an extensive analysis of the scope of work necessary to complete the project. This scope of work was shared with several potential candidates invited to submit proposals to complete the work as prime contractor. Many potential firms were unwilling or unable to submit proposals to complete the work.
• JPB has evaluated other commuter railroad's methodologies for implementing PTC to determine what alternate technologies are available that satisfy JPB’s needs.
As a result of the above efforts, the JPB project team has determined that at this time the I-ETMS technology developed by Wabtec is the most viable alternative for the JPB's PTC project.
• I-ETMS is now used widely by passenger and commuter rail operators and has developed in ways that benefit denser passenger rail operation not available at the time the original contract was awarded in 2011.
• I-ETMS now supports train type characteristics, grade crossing activation/inhibit, schedule adherence and (eventually) vital certification to suit the JPBs needs
• I-ETMS allows for the most cost efficient and technically manageable process for achieving interoperability with other railroads that share operations with the JPB
• I-ETMS will be easier and more cost effective to maintain in the long term than any other technology particularly given the commercial agreement with the Union Pacific Rail Road (UPRR).
In sum, not only is the I-ETMS system the best--indeed likely the only—technology that can be implemented in time to meet the federal deadline, it is the most cost-effective. Importantly, the cost of completing the JPB’s PTC system with I-ETMS technology will likely result in considerable long-term savings over any other technology from a maintenance perspective. This is because the JPB will benefit from industry-wide support and from interoperability efficiencies that would not exist with other technology. Both from a short term and long term perspective, I-ETMS technology is best suited for the JPB’s service. From a contracting and procurement perspective, Wabtec is uniquely situated as the only contractor that is able to provide its proprietary I-ETMS system and implement the JPB's PTC system on a practical schedule and at a reasonable price. FTA regulations and JPB policy acknowledge that under certain circumstances, a contract may be awarded without full and open competition. In this unique situation there is no benefit or need to conduct any additional competitive process for a number of reasons.
• First, Wabtec was the second highest ranked proposer in the original RFP. That original RFP, combined with the extensive outreach efforts by the JPB in recent months to elicit proposals from other firms involved in the original RFP, as well as
Page 5 of 6
additional firms, indicates that the JPB has already engaged in adequate competition such that a more formal RFP process is neither required by FTA rules nor beneficial under the circumstances present here.
• Second, there is unusual and compelling urgency to complete the PTC project. Over and above the federal mandate, the JPB is committed to implementing PTC as soon as possible to improve safety for its commuter rail service. Under FTA rules, this urgency alone justifies an immediate award to Wabtec, especially given the extensive outreach efforts already conducted by the JPB to formulate an effective and completion strategy and the delays caused by Parsons' failure to perform and ultimate contract termination.
• Third, Wabtec's proprietary technology (I-ETMS) makes it uniquely qualified to implement the JPB's PTC system. As discussed above, for commercial and legal reasons the JPB is unable to complete its PTC system with the Alstom technology originally included in the system that Parsons was unable to deliver. I-ETMS is a proven technology, already approved by the FRA for use in PTC systems.
• Fourth in order to operate its service on the portion of the railroad owned by the Union Pacific Railroad (San Jose to Gilroy), the JPB must, for contractual reasons pursuant to a recent agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad, install a Wabtec I-ETMS system on its locomotives operating on the Union Pacific's territory. Were the JPB to use a different technology on part of its territory, there would be inevitable additional interoperability challenges. Implementing a Wabtec system on the JPB's entire service will also avoid additional and unnecessary time and expense associated with multiple contractors installing different technologies on different portions of the JPB's service. FTA regulations allow a non-competitive procurement process for a follow-on contract for continued development or production of highly specialized equipment, in particular when awarding to another contractor would result in substantial duplication or unacceptable delay. Such is the case here. The JPB will also save on future maintenance costs as it will only have to maintain a single on-board system.
• In sum, there are compelling reasons why it is in the public interest for the JPB to award this contract to complete the JPB's PTC system to Wabtec without further competition. The JPB must comply with the federal mandate to implement PTC by the end of 2018. Awarding to any contractor other than Wabtec will require additional time and unnecessary expense. Awarding to any contractor other than Wabtec will present inevitable conflicts with regard to patent and other intellectual property rights, which in turn could prevent a seamless implementation of an interoperable PTC system on both the JPB's and the UPRR’s
Page 6 of 6
rail corridors. FTA rules recognize a public interest exemption to the ordinary rules for a competitive procurement. That public interest exception assuredly applies here.
After thorough research, Staff believes that Wabtec's technical proposal will best position the JPB to implement this safety-critical project in a manner that complies with federal law. It is in the best interests of the JPB, and assuredly in the public interest, that the JPB award a contract to Wabtec to implement a PTC system for the JPB.

AGENDA ITEM #8 9 MARCH 1, 2018
PENINSULA CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS BOARD
STAFF REPORT
TO: Joint Powers Board THROUGH: Jim Hartnett Executive Director FROM: David Olmeda Chief Operating Officer, Bus SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE THE APPLICATION FOR AND RECEIPT OF SAN MATEO COUNTY
SHUTTLE PROGRAM FUNDS ACTION Staff Coordinating Council (SCC) recommends the Board authorize the Executive Director, or his designee, to:
1. File an application for up to $3,095,100 from the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA) and/or the San Mateo City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) for San Mateo County Shuttle Program funds;
2. Commit up to $2,242,000 in matching funds, if required, for the Caltrain shuttle program, with the funding sources to be identified through the annual JPB operating budget process; and
3. Execute a two-year funding agreement and take any other actions necessary for the purpose of obtaining grant funding through the TA and/or C/CAG for the operation of Caltrain shuttles in San Mateo County.
SIGNIFICANCE Every two years, the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (JPB) applies for financial assistance from the TA and C/CAG, through the San Mateo County Shuttle Grant Program, to help support Caltrain shuttle operations in San Mateo County. Of the 28 Caltrain shuttles, 13 operate within San Mateo County and are eligible for this fund source. Approval of this item will authorize the Executive Director, or his designee, to apply for and enter into a two-year funding agreement with the TA and/or C/CAG to receive up to $3.09 million in funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 and FY2020. A minimum local match of 25 percent is required for these grant funds. The JPB's match is expected to be funded through a combination of member agency contributions, Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) funds and employer contributions. A list of the shuttles to be proposed for funding through the San Mateo County Shuttle Program is included as Attachment A. BUDGET IMPACT If the shuttle program funds are received, they, along with the required local match, will be included as part of the JPB’s operating budget for FY 2019 and FY 2020. The total estimated budget for the 13 shuttles over the next two years is $5.34 million and is proposed to be funded as shown in the following table.
14161865.1
Preliminary Budget
Fund Source Amount San Mateo County Shuttle Program $3,095,000 Employer Contributions $2,011,000 JPB Member Agency Funds $231,000 Total $5,337,000
The JPB also anticipates that it will receive funding from BAAQMD in both FY 2019 and FY 2020 through a competitive call for projects later in calendar year 2018 and again in 2019. Funding from the BAAQMD program fluctuates from year to year and any funds received from the BAAQMD will reduce the TA and JPB member agency contributions to the program. In the last two years, approximately $400,000 has been received annually from the BAAQMD to fund the 13 San Mateo County Caltrain shuttles. BACKGROUND The San Mateo County Shuttle Grant Program is jointly administered by the TA and C/CAG. The program is funded through Measure A, a half-cent sales tax in San Mateo County, and the C/CAG Local Transportation Services Program under the Countywide Congestion Relief Plan. Caltrain shuttles provide a last-mile connection between Caltrain Stations and employers. In addition to the TA/C/CAG funds, Caltrain shuttle operations are supported by funding from BAAQMD's Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA), JPB local funds and contributions from employers.

PENINSULA CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS BOARD STAFF REPORT
TO: Joint Powers Board THROUGH: Jim Hartnett
Executive Director
FROM: Michelle Bouchard Chief Operating Officer, Rail
SUBJECT: SAN JOSE DIRIDON STATION PLANNING UPDATE ACTION This report is for information only. No Board action is required at this time. SIGNIFICANCE Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (JPB) staff will make a presentation to provide an update regarding the planning efforts underway for the San Jose Diridon Station. BUDGET IMPACT There is no budget impact associated with receiving this presentation. BACKGROUND Staff will provide a presentation to the Board regarding the planning activities for the San Jose Diridon Station. The San Jose Diridon Station is a major transit hub located within downtown San Jose, the nation’s 10th largest city. It is a historic train depot with not only Caltrain transit service but also service provided by Amtrak long distance, Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA), Altamont Commuter Express (ACE), and VTA light rail and bus service. The JPB is the owner of the historic station depot, the Caltrain parking lots, the area of the bus loop, and the tracks and platforms. As the landowner, the JPB has a vested stake in the planning process not just for potential shaping of the station itself, but also with the surrounding area development. With the planned addition of Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) and California High Speed Rail Service (CAHSR) at San Jose Diridon Station, as well as expanded Caltrain, ACE, Capitol Corridor and Amtrak service, the future of the station is expected to become one of the busiest intermodal stations in North America. Private development of the surrounding area in conjunction with the City of San Jose is accelerating, providing opportunities to fully integrate development with the station itself. In recent months,
Google has publically announced intentions for development near the San Jose Diridon Station. Caltrain, City of San Jose, CAHSR, and VTA have formed a public agency partnership to coordinate the respective capital projects in a manner that realizes the potential for both the transit station facilities and the surrounding development area in an integrated fashion. Planning efforts have been on-going for some time and JPB and its partners are committed to the planning of reinventing the Station to reflect the cutting edge of commercial development and transportation by seeking a bold, new vision. To realize the Partner Agencies’ shared vision for the Station, an implementation strategy is needed to inform the Partner Agencies on how best to ultimately fund, design, construct, and operate the intermodal station that catalyzes local and regional development. The Partner Agencies agree that a unified vision and cohesive strategy for investments at the Station and the broader Station area is anticipated to generate more value than if the Partner Agencies planned and acted on development opportunities individually. To aid in the facilitation of the planning work but to also assist the Partner agencies with creating an Integrated Station Concept Plan, a consultant team will be hired in early 2018. The Consultant, familiar with complex, multi-agency infrastructure and urban design projects, such as major capital transit projects, will strategize concepts to ensure that constraints and conflicts are properly handled and resolved between the Partner Agencies, as well as facilitate decision-making at key milestones. The Consultant will also coordinate with additional project stakeholders, participate in various Board and City Council meetings, and assist in coordinating public outreach efforts amongst the Partner Agencies. In addition to spatial layout and sketches of the future Station, including track envelope, the Plan is intended to provide strategies for (i) navigating the phasing of construction; (ii) environmental clearance and permitting process at the National, State, and Local levels; and (iii) funding, staffing, and operation of the future Station. Staff is working with the Partner Agencies on a Cooperation Agreement to outline the roles, responsibilities, and process for management and oversight of this Consultant. Each Partner Agency is also contributing toward the Consultant contract. The contracting agency is VTA, but management of the work will be via all four Partner Agencies. The VTA procured the services via Request for Qualifications and a top-rated offeror has been selected. The Partner Agencies are in the process of scope of work development with the top-rated proposer, which will formulate the Consultant budget. This planning update is intended to provide the Board members an overview of the latest efforts in anticipation of the Cooperation Agreement being finalized for action in late Spring 2018.
