WORKSHOP ITEM(S)
W1 Receive Presentation from PFM Financial Advisors LLC on State of the Transit Industry: Funding Overview at the Federal, State, and Local Levels and Financing Considerations
Eun Park-Lynch, Chief Financial Officer, introduced Peter Shellenberger and Darren Hodge of PFM Financial Advisors LLC, who gave a presentation on the state of the transit industry with specific attention on funding, trends, and legislation at the federal, state, and local levels. The presentation also included an overview of the District’s financial ratios, financing options, and considerations.
Board Vice-Chair Feller asked Mr. Hodge if the forecasts are looked at daily. Mr. Hodge informed the Board that they are looked at on a weekly basis, except for the Treasury Curve as it relates to borrowings and interest rate movements. Board Member McNamara wanted further explanation regarding the correlation between the claims of increases in property value when transit infrastructure is built around it. Matthew O. Tucker, Executive Director, stated that national studies have been done that provide data showing this and that staff would send the information to the Board. Mr. Tucker added that this question will also be addressed as part of a public benefit study that is on today’s agenda for approval. Board Member Kranz added that he feels San Marcos has prime examples of this around Palomar College and Cal State University San Marcos. Board Member Desmond commented that he believes communities need to be willing to accept the density that transit needs, and that is not always the case especially in the affluent coastal areas. Board Member Edson asked what percentage of Highway Trust Funds were going to transit. Mr. Shellenberger answered that it was a 20% split in 2018. Board Member Desmond asked if general fund money has been transferred to backfill the Highway Trust Fund depletion. Mr. Schellenberger confirmed this, and Mr. Tucker added that he believes effective planning needs to be done over the next two to three years in regard to program funding. Board Member McNamara mentioned that he is not seeing growth around the Escondido Transit Center. Mr. Tucker commented that multiple factors impact growth, including public policy needed to support development. Board Member Jenkins asked if the decrease in sales tax is factored in any of the forecasts. Mr. Hodge informed her that PFM does not provide economic forecasts and that the information they are providing is taken from a Transnet forecast; however, he stated that the government is addressing this to ensure that sales taxes are going to be going to the appropriate jurisdictions. Board Member Desmond asked if outside factors such as transportation network companies (TNC’s), are considered when decisions and projections are being made. Mr. Tucker answered that those items are part of the Land Use Study and the Strategic Multimodal Transit Study that NCTD is conducting. He further stated that such items are part of larger national economic discussions regarding population growth, spending, etc. Board Member Jenkins asked how the District compares to other agencies in regard to Debt Service Coverage. Mr. Shellenberger said that the District is in a good position from a coverage standpoint. Board Member Desmond requested clarification on whether the District’s historical performance relative to debt service coverage indicated any trend, either positive or negative. Mr. Hodge stated that no particular trend was indicated and that much depends on planning. Mr. Tucker stated that this would be more of a question for Ms. Park-Lynch as this is part of the strategies that will be heard as part of the budget, including 5 and 10 year forecasts and that this presentation was setting the stage for the budget process. ADJOURNMENT The Special Meeting adjourned at 1:27 p.m.

10. Receive Monthly Intergovernmental Affairs Report and Adopt Calendar Year 2019 Legislative Agenda
Richard Harmon of Townsend Public Affairs gave a presentation containing Legislative activity, as well as the 2019 Proposed Legislative Agenda, and provided updates on Bills of interest to the District.
Board Chair Kranz asked why specific transit oriented development (TOD) projects are listed where discretionary grant funding is going to be pursued. Mr. Tucker answered that the list is not all-inclusive, but reflects priority projects.
Board Member Bhat-Patel asked Mr. Tucker to provide direction on how the Board can be more effective in lobbying and supporting the bills that are moving forward, as well as working with their jurisdictions should they be lobbying for similar bills. She commented that she believes the legislative agenda should be looked at by the Board periodically to ensure it remains current. Lastly, Ms. Bhat-Patel requested updates on AB 847, AB 176 and AB 1025. Mr. Harmon stated that AB 1025 is becoming a STEM Education Bill and he will provide the Board with updates on the mentioned Bills.
Board Member Bhat-Patel commented that certain cities were left off in the list of TOD projects and asked if they will be included. Mr. Tucker re-iterated that the list was not all-inclusive and explained why those specific projects were listed.
Board Member Bhat-Patel asked outside of implementing zero emission bus technology, is there anything else that the District can do to support climate action plans. Mr. Tucker stated that is part of the capital programs and service levels that the District operates.
Board Member Bhat-Patel suggested that the District utilize the Board Members to write to Sacramento for support, especially for funding of infrastructure and ridership improvements. Mr. Tucker mentioned that the District will work the Board Chair in sending a letter for each City to identify a liaison to work as part of a Legislative Committee supporting cross-purpose items. Mr. Tucker added that the District will be drafting letters of support for Mayoral signatures as it moves forward in seeking discretionary grants for projects that will be advancing.
Board Member Desmond asked for more information on SB 50. Mr. Harmon provided information on the purpose and main components of the Bill.
Board Member Edson stated she understood SB 50 to remove local jurisdictional authority on some matters regarding buildings near transit centers, which she is not comfortable with. She further commented that she feels many of the provisions are in conflict with the Coastal Act. Mr. Harmon stated that moving ahead will make sure to focus on some of the Coastal Act concerns. He encouraged the Board Members to speak with the Senator Wiener regarding their feedback should they ever be in Sacramento.
Page 5 of 9
Board Member Feller commented on SB 50 that some jurisdictions have more transit and/or train stations than others and that the impact of that legislation would accordingly vary significantly among the cities.
Board Member Edson asked if AB 226 and AB 1543 were positive bills as it would require that a fare paid pursuant to a reduced fare transit program be counted as full adult fare for calculating required ratios. Mr. Harmon confirmed this.
Board Member Kranz stated that this is a two-part agenda item and asked for a motion to adopt the Calendar Year 2019 Legislative Agenda.

Ms. Park-Lynch also said the delay in the fare increases will affect NCTD’s budgeted FY2019 fare revenues.
Board Member Druker asked for further information regarding San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) intending to change the fare system from Cubic to Init. Mr. Tucker informed the Board that MTS awarded the contract to Init in December and added that the District intends to use this new system so that there can be one regional fare system which will streamline the fare purchase process for not just our customers, but Metrolink’s and Amtrak’s as well. He stated that a detailed presentation will be forthcoming as information becomes available.
CONSENT ITEM(S) 4 AND 6
4. Award Agreement No. 19041 to STV, Inc. for Zero Emissions Bus Infrastructure Planning
Board Member Edson commented that she supports the move to Zero Emissions Buses (ZEB) and asked if there was a back-up plan should there be a cataclysmic event.

Mr. Tucker added that a press release has been done, as well as signs being placed on each of the bus stops to be eliminated.
Board Member Desmond mentioned an item that has been discussed at the SANDAG Board Meeting regarding SANDAG taking more TDA funds than before and wanted to know if there were any recommendations regarding the funds that the NCTD Board gets to vote on prior to the item being moved forward. Mr. Tucker answered that staff recommendations have been stated and that SANDAG is not making a request to the District related to Transnet or TDA funds.
Lori A. Winfree, General Counsel, commented that in general for items to be taken out of order there should be a formal motion and vote. She stated that she wanted to confirm the changes to the Agenda to ensure accuracy in the minutes. She noted the following: Agenda Items 4 and

LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY AND UPDATES
State Update
Legislative Activity
By the end of March, most policy committees had held at least one hearing to consider proposed legislation. Bills must wait 30 days after introduction before being heard in a committee, so many bills won’t be considered until April. Combined with the Legislature’s spring recess, April will be busy with hearings prior to deadlines at the end of the month.
Looking ahead, April is a key month for tax revenues as the Governor and Department of Finance prepare updated revenue projections for inclusion in the revised budget proposal due in early May. So far this year, tax revenues have cumulatively come in approximately $2 billion below estimates.
Legislative Housing Proposals
We have been discussing the package of proposed legislation from a regional effort in the Bay Area known as the CASA Compact since late last year. Over the last month, the Legislature has formalized this package of bills covering several policy areas, with a few of them likely specific to the Bay Area, but most with statewide impacts.
The following table is what we have been using to track the policy areas and legislation introduced to focus on those areas. Some of bills are discussed in more detail in other sections of this report, including legislation related to development around transit and tax increment and other financing tools.

There are two pieces of legislation that would address housing near transit—Senate Bill 50 (Wiener) and Senate Bill 4 (McGuire). Both of these bills will be heard the first week of April in the Senate Housing Committee chaired by Senator Wiener.
Last year, Senator Wiener introduced SB 827, which created an incentive for housing developers to build denser housing near transit by exempting developments from certain low-density requirements, including maximum controls on residential density, maximum controls on floor area ratio (FAR), minimum parking requirements, and maximum building height limits, as specified. A developer could choose to use the benefits provided in that bill if it met certain requirements. Senate Bill 827 failed in the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee.
Senate Bill 50 is different from SB 827 in several ways:
• First, unlike SB 827, this bill is not limited in application to proximity near transit; this bill provides reduced zoning requirements for specified projects in “jobs-rich areas” that are traditionally “high-opportunity” and will result in more housing across the State.
• With regards to the inclusion of units affordable to lower income households, SB 827 contained an inclusionary housing scheme that only applied to additional units granted by that bill, not the number of units in the base zoning. This bill provides that projects with 11- 19 units may pay an in-lieu fee for affordable housing, if feasible, and requires projects with 21 or more units to contain affordable households or pay an in-lieu fee.
• This bill also increases demolition protections for sites that have previously housed tenants and removes complex “Right to Return” provisions that could have proved difficult to enforce. Specifically, this bill prohibits an eligible site from containing housing occupied by tenants within the seven years preceding the date of the application and parcels on which an owner of has taken their rentals properties off the market for rent or lease within 15 years prior to the date the development proponent submits an application.
• This bill also creates a delayed implementation for sensitive communities, as defined, and permits them to come up with a community plan that may include zoning and other policies to encourage multifamily development at varying income levels and protect vulnerable residents from displacement.
Senate Bill 50 is similar in nature to SB 4. Both bills encourage denser housing near transit by relaxing density, height, parking, and FAR requirements, but also differ in several ways. Senate Bill 4 only applies in jurisdictions that have built fewer homes in the last 10 years than jobs and have unmet housing needs, whereas SB 50 bill does not have threshold requirements. Also, the zoning benefits in SB 50 also extend to projects in proximity to high quality bus corridors. While both bills only apply to parcels in residential zones, SB 4 only applies to infill sites and is not permitted in specified areas.
Both bills also relate to areas not tied to transit; SB 4 allows for duplexes on vacant parcels that allow a residential use in cities less than 50,000 and fourplexes in cities greater than 50,000. Senate Bill 50 does not limit density; however, it is limited to areas designated as “jobs-rich” by HCD and OPR. Lastly, SB 4 also provides a streamlined approval process.

We are expecting both authors to work together and potentially combine their proposals into one bill and will keep you updated on this progress.

Tax Increment Financing and Related Proposals
The Legislature has been working for a number of years on various tools to replace former redevelopment, including EIFDs and Community Revitalization and Investment Authorities. The following bills are additional options being considered this year related to redevelopment and tax increment financing, as well as tools for existing programs:
• Senate Bill 5 (Beall/McGuire)—Creates the Affordable Housing and Community Development Investment Program (Program). The bill establishes an application process, eligible uses for the funds made available by the bill, a process for distributing funds, project requirements, and accountability measures. Specifically, this bill:
o Allows various local agencies to apply for the Program, either individually or jointly o Requires an applicant to submit a plan to the Affordable Housing and Community Development Committee made up of several State officials. o Requires the plan submitted by the applicant to the Committee to include various types of information about the projects and community outreach. o Allows the Committee to approve $200 million in plans in the first year, increasing in $200 million increments each year for five years until reaching $1 billion after five years—over nine years, the total can reach $2 billion. o Requires at least 50 percent of funding to be used on the construction of affordable housing. o Directs the county auditor to reduce the amount of property tax revenue the applicant would otherwise have contributed to the county’s Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF). o Gives the Department of Finance the ability to recalculate the Proposition 98 guarantee so that schools receive the same amount of funding they would have absent this Program.
• Assembly Bill 11 (Chiu)—Allows a city or county to form an Affordable Housing and Infrastructure Agency to fund projects. Specifically, this bill requires agencies to:
o Create a resolution of intention, which includes a preliminary project plan along with an extensive amount of other required actions and analysis before the Strategic Growth Council (SGC) may approve agency formation. o An agency may not be formed if it will result in a negative state fiscal impact, to be determined by the State Controller, and must promote statewide greenhouse gas reduction goals. o The SCG shall ensure that the projects proposed in the resolution of intention equitably represent rural, suburban, and urban communities, and that establishing the agency would not result in an inequitable geographic distribution of agencies throughout the state. o Submit an annual report and a final report of any audit undertaken by any other local, state, or federal government entity, to its governing body and to the State Controller and the Department of Housing and Community Development. o Report the total number of housing units the agency assisted in creating or maintained.
6
• Senate Bill 128 (Beall)—Repeals the 55 percent voter approval requirement for an EIFD to issue bonds after the EIFD board approves the bond issuance. In its place, SB 128 requires the EIFD board to approve a bond before it can issue the bond.
• Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1 (Aguiar-Curry)—Proposes amendments to the California Constitution to allow a city, county, or special district, with 55 percent voter approval, to incur bonded indebtedness or impose specified special taxes to fund projects for affordable housing, permanent supportive housing, or public infrastructure.
High-Speed Rail Hearing
On March 26, the Senate Transportation Committee and Senate Budget Subcommittee 2 held an oversight hearing on the status of the High-Speed Rail project. The hearing lasted over three hours with the panels and questions from committee members. As expected, there was very little new information shared by any of the panelists—the real discussion will come after the High- Speed Rail Authority releases its project update report on May 1.
A lot of questions focused on the federal government’s threat to pull back the $929 million in grant funding. No new information was provided, but Republicans argued they could play a role with the White House, questioning the current practice of filing lawsuits on so many actions by the Trump Administration and how that did not foster a cooperative relationship.
The first panel—made up of representatives of the Peer Review Group, California State Auditor, and Legislative Analyst’s Office—continued to express skepticism about the progress of the project and its ability to meet deadlines for expenditure of federal funding. The representatives largely argued the Legislature should take the opportunity to take a step back and review all options for moving forward.
Lenny Mendonca, the new Chair of the Authority, and California State Transportation Agency Secretary Brian Annis provided an overview of the status of the project, including a presentation about credibility and transparency. Specific project updates from the most recent Authority Board meeting were provided by Chief Operating Officer Joe Hedges.
Representatives of agencies receiving regional investments made up the third panel—Caltrain, Metrolink and LA Metro—discussing various projects in their service areas with funding from the high-speed rail project.
The Authority will provide its project update report in May and be back in front of these committees shortly after that for what will likely be a much livelier discussion about the direction of the project.

ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION AND UPDATES
Governor’s Housing Proposal
On March 11, Governor Newsom’s Department of Finance posted its proposed budget trailer bill language related to housing. The language contains the following:
• Establishes the Local Government Planning Support Grants Program to provide grants for planning activities to enable jurisdictions to meet new short-term housing goals and rewards for milestones. o Creates a 3-year annualized housing allocation to be achieved in calendar years 2020 and 2021, with no annual targets lower than current RHNA goals. o $250 million will be split equally between distribution to regions/counties and cities. In the case of cities, funding will be based on population, with $750,000 available to cities over 200,000, $275,000 for cities between 60,000 and 200,000, and $150,000 for cities under 60,000). o A NOFA will be issued by August 15, 2019, with cities eligible to apply for funding by December 31, 2019, and regions eligible to apply by December 31, 2020.
• Establishes the Production and Process Improvement Reward Program for regions and counties (and cities through these agencies) that have demonstrated progress toward increased housing production. o $500 million is available based on a region or county’s share of annual housing targets. o Jurisdictions must have compliant housing elements and have submitted all annual and other progress reports.
• Directs the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), in cooperation with the Office of Planning and Research and State Transportation Agency, by December 31, 2022 and after a stakeholder participation process, to propose linking transportation and other non-housing funding to a new RHNA process. o Beginning July 1, 2023, the Controller may withhold a jurisdiction’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (SB 1) funds if they do not have a compliant housing element or have not zoned or entitled for its annual housing goals. o By May 1, 2023, and then annually, HCD will report to the Controller a list of cities and counties with funds to be withheld.
Many Members of the Legislature have been outspoken against the Governor’s proposal to withhold transportation funding from local agencies who don’t meet their housing targets. The efforts to first approve Senate Bill 1 and then to defeat Proposition 6 were largely successful due to the support of local agencies identifying needs and then moving quickly to put those funds into projects. Budget committees will be considering the Governor’s proposal over the coming weeks.

POTENTIAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
Included below is a list of several upcoming grant programs, descriptions and due dates:
• Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Program (June 2019)—The EEM Program funds projects that contribute to mitigation of the environmental effects of transportation facilities. The EEM Program encourages projects that produce multiple benefits which reduce greenhouse gas emissions, increase water use efficiency, reduce risks from climate change impacts, and demonstrate collaboration with local, state and community entities. Eligible projects must be directly or indirectly related to the environmental impact of the modification of an existing transportation facility or construction of a new transportation facility.
• Sustainable Transportation Planning Grants (Fall 2019)—Successful planning projects are expected to directly benefit the multi-modal transportation system. Sustainable Communities Grants will also improve public health, social equity, environmental justice, and provide other important community benefits. The grant program will fund local and regional multimodal transportation and land use planning projects that further the region’s RTP SCS, contribute to the State’s GHG reduction targets, and assist in achieving the Caltrans Mission and Program Objectives.
• Adaptation Planning Grants (Fall 2019)—This funding will advance adaptation planning on California’s transportation infrastructure, including but not limited to roads, railways, bikeways, trails, bridges, ports, and airports. Funded projects are expected to not only adapt the transportation system to climate change impacts but also to benefit the multimodal transportation system. Applicants who have adaptation planning efforts underway as well as those who have not yet started work are encouraged to apply.
• Local Partnership Program (Winter 2019)—Jurisdictions with voter approved taxes, tolls, and fees, or with imposed fees, will be eligible for this competitive grant program if the taxes, tolls, or fees are dedicated solely to transportation. The initial programming cycle will cover 2017-18 through 2019-20. The program will match up to $5 million for the construction of transportation projects.
• Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (Winter 2019)—The objective of the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program is to fund infrastructure improvements on federally designated Trade Corridors of National and Regional Significance, on the Primary Freight Network, as identified in the California Freight Mobility Plan, and along other corridors that have a high volume of freight movement as determined by the Commission. The program will fund projects that benefit the movement of goods along identified major trade corridors.

The Monthly Transit Operations Performance Report is intended to provide performance reporting around key performance indicators without the detailed analysis of trends that are included within the Quarterly and Year-End Transit Operations Reports. The data contained in this report is unaudited and subject to change. Final and audited financial and performance results will be provided as part of NCTD’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Attached to this report is a table that provides information on NCTD’s modal performance compared to the established goals, as well as a comparison to the previous fiscal year.
System-wide Ridership:
NCTD’s system-wide ridership totaled 776,379 in the month of February 2019, 3.18% below the monthly budgeted goal. System-wide average weekday ridership totaled 33,460, 2.44% below the budgeted goal. Average Saturday ridership totaled 15,082 and average Sunday ridership totaled 12,187. Average Saturday ridership was 7.62% below the budgeted goal and average Sunday ridership was 3.65% below the budgeted goal.

Discussion: Board Policy No. 19 Delegation of Authority to the Executive Director
Executive Committee April 4, 2019 Current Board Policy No. 19
The NCTD Board of Directors (Board) has adopted Board Policy No. 19, Delegation of Authority to the Executive Director, authorizing the Executive Director (ED) to award contracts and amend agreements as follows: • Award initial contracts up to $100,000 • Approve contract amendments up to $50,000 (singular or cumulative) unless amendment would increase the contract value over $100,000 • Award individual Task Order Agreements (TOA) up to $100,000 • The ED is required to report contract actions and modifications made in accordance with Board Policy No. 19 to the Board on a quarterly basis 1 Current Board Policy No. 19
• On February 21, 2019, the Board adopted Resolution 19-01 electing to participate in the State of California’s Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (Act). • The Act authorizes NCTD to contract for public projects of $200,000 or less by informal bid procedures. • Informal bid procedures include reduced bid times with no requirement to advertise in newspapers of general circulation.
2 Analysis of Board Policy No. 19
• With the authority currently provided in Board Policy No. 19, staff prepares many items for Board approval on an annual basis. For example, over the past two (2) years staff has prepared staff reports and related materials for Board consideration for approximately: – 70 Contract Awards – 35 TOAs – 38 Contract Modifications (Change Orders and Supplemental Agreements) • Many of these items are routine, required activities for continued operations such as: software licenses, facilities maintenance, and other routine business requirements.
3 Analysis of Board Policy No. 19
• The Board preparation cycle for each contract action takes approximately eight (8) weeks, and several hours of staff time on a monthly basis. • In many cases the contract did not exceed ED authority at the time of award, but subsequently the addition of a routine change order increased the total contract value above the ED’s authority requiring a stop in the work while staff sought the Board’s approval on the contract modification or a ratification by the Board. • Most procurement activity that NCTD conducts on a day-to-day basis far exceeds the current $100,000 threshold.
4 Analysis of Board Policy No. 19
• Staff conducted a survey of public agencies in San Diego County to determine contracting thresholds delegated to staff from the governing board. • The range for governing board approval is from $15,000 to $5,000,000 (Cities, County, School Districts, and Transit Agencies).
5 Proposed Revisions to Board Policy No. 19
To realize efficiencies in the procurement and Board approval processes, staff recommends amending Board Policy No. 19 as follows: • Authorize ED to award initial contracts up to $200,000 (this corresponds with the informal bid threshold authorized by the Act) • Amend contracts (change orders/supplemental agreements) up to $100,000 (singular or cumulative) • Award individual TOAs up to $200,000 • The ED would still be required to report all contract actions and modifications made in accordance with Board Policy No. 19 to the Board on a quarterly basis 6 Proposed Revisions to Board Policy No. 19
Current Proposed
New Contract $100,000 $200,000
Contract Amendment $50,000 $100,000
Task Order Agreement $100,000 $200,000
7 Next Steps
• If the Executive Committee supports the staff recommendation, staff will advance a recommendation to the full Board for consideration of the proposed changes to Board Policy No. 19 and request adoption of a Resolution in support at the April 18, 2019 Regular Board Meeting.

Time Sensitive: ☐ Consent: ☒
STAFF Award Agreement No. 19046 to ADK Consulting and Executive Search to provide RECOMMENDATION: Executive Recruitment Services, for a base period of three (3) years in an amount not-to-exceed $215,214, and further authorize the Executive Director to exercise two (2) optional one (1) year extension(s), if determined in the best interest of NCTD, in an amount not-to-exceed $186,278, for a total contract value not-to- exceed $401,492.
BACKGROUND As a multi-modal transit agency, the North County Transit District (NCTD) is INFORMATION: responsible for a wide range of operation, maintenance, administrative, and compliance functions which require specialized skill sets. In order to obtain the specific knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to fulfill these obligations, the District must conduct extensive employment recruiting processes to find and hire qualified staff. Such recruitments are typically conducted by the Human Resources Department, but occasional assistance of a recruiting firm can aide in finding the necessary resources for hard-to-fill positions. Historically, NCTD has utilized such services for senior executive and/or “niche” industry positions.
On February 5, 2019, NCTD issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 27820R for Executive Recruitment Services. Notices were published in two (2) newspapers of general circulation and posted on Planetbids. The solicitation closed on March 8, 2019, with fourteen (14) proposals being received by the deadline. Eleven (11) proposals were deemed responsive and responsible, and were evaluated by the Source Selection Committee (SSC) in accordance with the following selection criteria:
• Technical Approach • Personnel and Qualifications • Proposed Staffing, Implementation, and Review Approach • Cost Proposal
A Best and Final Offer was requested on March 29, 2019, which resulted in firm fixed fees instead of fees based on a percentage of negotiated salaries. This strategy is intended to provide an overall savings to the agency over the term of the agreement. The SSC determined that ADK Consulting and Executive Search is the proposer offering the best overall value to the District. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, ADK Consulting and Executive Search will provide executive recruitment services to include the following:
• Conduct local, regional, and/or nationwide searches for individual positions • Review candidate qualifications and provide recommendations for personal interview by NCTD • Perform reference/background checks, and coordinate with NCTD to present offers and confirm acceptance
April 18, 2019 Board Meeting Staff Report No.: SR-19-04-005 Staff recommends that the Board award Agreement No. 19046 to ADK Consulting and Executive Search to provide Executive Recruitment Services, for a base period of three (3) years in an amount not-to-exceed $215,214, and further authorize the Executive Director to exercise two (2) optional one (1) year extension(s), if determined in the best interest of NCTD, in an amount not-to- exceed $186,278, for a total not-to-exceed contract value of $401,492.

Time Sensitive: ☐ Consent: ☒
STAFF Award Agreement No. 19044 to Crowe LLP for the purchase, implementation and RECOMMENDATION: maintenance of a Customer Relationship Management software system and maintenance support for a base period of five (5) years in an amount not-to- exceed $724,125, and further authorize the Executive Director to exercise three (3) optional one (1) year extensions, if determined to be in the best interest of NCTD, in an amount not-to-exceed $276,600 for all three (3) years, and increase the agreement as-needed for pass through costs for Microsoft licenses in an amount not to exceed $147,782 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,148,507. BACKGROUND The North County Transit District (NCTD) offers public transit services that are a INFORMATION: vital part of San Diego’s regional transportation network, moving over 10 million passengers annually. Additionally, NCTD owns extensive property in San Diego County, including two railway lines. Proper communication with customers, stakeholders, and the general public is vital to NCTD’s overall mission.
Currently, NCTD utilizes an internally created MS Access database to log and track customer feedback (complaints, comments, and compliments). System functionality is extremely limited, lacks most of the features that are standard in modern software systems, and is not on par with industry standards for customer communications tools. Other forms of customer interaction are done on separate software systems which adds to the complexity of NCTD’s communications efforts with its customers and the public. To address these challenges and enhance the overall customer experience with NCTD, there is a need to purchase an integrated, scalable Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software system to merge the District’s current systems and manual processes into a consolidated platform supporting customer relationship management functions.
On June 11, 2018, NCTD issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 27580 for Customer Relationship Management System Software and Support. Notices were published in two (2) newspapers of general circulation and posted on Planetbids. The solicitation closed on August 13, 2018, with eight (8) proposals being received by the deadline. Seven (7) proposals were deemed responsive and responsible, and evaluated by the Source Selection Committee (SSC) in accordance with the following selection criteria:
• System Functionality • Maintenance Services • Company Background, Experience, and References • Implementation Methodology • Cost Proposal
In addition to evaluation by the SSC, NCTD engaged Intueor Consulting Inc., to perform a review of the SSC’s top-ranked software system via its on-call Technology Consulting Agreement for the purpose of validating system capabilities. The information provided by Intueor confirmed the proposed April 18, 2019 Board Meeting Staff Report No.: SR-19-04-006 functionality of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 product as presented by Crowe LLP (Crowe).
A Best and Final Offer was requested on February 5, 2019, which resulted in an overall reduction in the cost proposal and resultant cost savings of $6,400 from the original proposal. The SSC determined that Crowe is the proposer offering the best overall value to the District. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, Crowe will provide Customer Relationship Management Software and Support to include the following:
• A CRM software system and user licenses to track and monitor customer feedback, including implementation services • Functionality for customers and key stakeholders to receive service alerts via text messaging • Functionality to support tracking and monitoring Lost and Found items on- board NCTD vehicles and on NCTD property; tracking customer activity and approvals related to refund requests; and tracking customer activity related to Public Records Requests • Training for NCTD staff to include Basic Administrator and End User training, as well as customized training manuals • CRM System Maintenance (Routine and Emergency)
Staff recommends that the Board award Agreement No. 19044 to Crowe LLP for the purchase, implementation and maintenance of a Customer Relationship Management software system and maintenance support for a base period of five (5) years in an amount not-to-exceed $724,125, and further authorize the Executive Director to exercise three (3) optional one (1) year extensions, if determined to be in the best interest of NCTD, in an amount not-to-exceed $276,600 for all three (3) years and increase the agreement as-needed for pass through costs for Microsoft licenses in an amount not-to-exceed $147,782, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,148,507.

April 18, 2019 Board Meeting Staff Report No.: SR-19-04-006 Agenda Item # REVISED 7 AWARD AGREEMENTS FOR TEMPORARY STAFFING SERVICES
Time Sensitive: ☐ Consent: ☒
STAFF Award agreements for temporary staffing services for a base period of three (3) RECOMMENDATION: years in an aggregate amount not-to-exceed $1,800,000, and further authorize the Executive Director to exercise one (1) optional two (2) year extension, if determined in the best interest of NCTD, in an aggregate amount not-to-exceed $600,000 annually, for a total aggregate agreement value not-to-exceed $3,000,000.
BACKGROUND As a multi-modal transit agency, the North County Transit District (NCTD) is INFORMATION: responsible for a wide range of operation, maintenance, administrative, and compliance functions that support effective and efficient operation of our vital public transit services. From time-to-time NCTD has the need to utilize temporary staffing services in an administrative capacity to ensure operational continuity. NCTD uses temporary employees to cover staffing shortfalls that include such situations as leaves of absence, extended position vacancies, periods of unusually high workload, and additional staffing for special projects. The costs for these temporary staffing services are typically offset by funds in the operating budget for staff salaries and benefits which are available due to vacancy or other unpaid leave, resulting in no negative fiscal impact.
On January 18, 2019, NCTD issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 28140 for Temporary Staffing Services. Proposals were accepted for jobs in three (3) independent categories: Administrative, Finance, and Information Technology. Proposers had the option of responding to a single category, or multiple categories. Notices were published in two (2) newspapers of general circulation and posted on Planetbids. The solicitation closed on February 20, 2019, with nineteen (19) proposals being received by the deadline; four (4) of the proposals were deemed non-responsive. Sixteen (16)The fifteen (15) of the proposals were deemed responsive and responsible, and were evaluated by the Source Selection Committee (SSC) in accordance with the following selection criteria:
• Technical Approach • Personnel and Qualifications • Proposed Staffing, Implementation, and Review Approach • Cost Proposal
The SSC evaluated and qualified four (4) proposers. A Best and Final Offer was requested from each of the four (4) proposers on March 15, 2019, which resulted in fixed rates inclusive of planned increases to California’s minimum wage. The four companies recommended for contract award are:
1. Manpower – Administrative Staffing 2. HB Staffing – Administrative Staffing 3. Infojini, Inc. – Finance Staffing 4. SoftHQ – Information Technology Staffing
April 18, 2019 Board Meeting Staff Report No.: SR-19-04-007 The proposed agreements for the above firms have a combined aggregate amount not-to-exceed $600,000 annually. In the prior two fiscal years (FY 2017 and FY2018), NCTD utilized approximately $300,000 annually in temporary staffing services. While NCTD does not anticipate needing the full $600,000 aggregate annual amount, the District must also account for the reality that neither the specific volume of temporary staffing services nor the job classifications to be filled is predictable from year-to-year. For example, during FY 2018 the range of temporary staffing needs included the following positions: Customer Service Assistant, Administrative Assistant, Right-of-Way Coordinator, Senior Systems Engineer, and Accountant. Therefore, the annual aggregate amounts have been divided up among the four firms with appropriate individual agreement amounts to ensure that adequate resources are available to support any needed services during the proposed agreement term.
On February 25, 2019, LA Business Personnel, Inc. requested a reconsideration of the non-responsiveness determination. Following a thorough review of the evidence presented, NCTD determined that the protest was without merit and provided a written response with instructions on how LA Business Personnel, Inc. could submit an appeal by March 29, 2019. No appeal was received by the deadline and the matter was deemed resolved.
On April 10, 2019, after the Notice of Intent to Award was issued, Beatty’s Services Inc. inquired of staff as to why they were not selected for award. A copy of the non-responsive letter was re-sent to them with an invitation for a debrief. It is staff’s understanding that Beatty’s Services, Inc. contends that they were not selected for award due to an act of discrimination as it is a minority-owned business. Beatty’s Services, In. has provided no evidence to substantiate this claim and no formal protest letter was received. Staff evaluated Beatty’s Services, Inc.’s protest of award and determined that it lacks merit and should not impact the Board’s ability to consider this matter today.
Staff For the foregoing reasons, staff recommends that the Board award agreements for temporary staffing services, for a base period of three (3) years in an aggregate amount not-to-exceed $1,800,000, and further authorize the Executive Director to exercise one (1) optional two (2) year extension, if determined in the best interest of NCTD, in an aggregate amount not-to-exceed $600,000 annually, for a total aggregate contract value not-to-exceed $3,000,000.

The North County Transit District (NCTD) is required to undergo financial audits BACKGROUND to comply with federal and state regulations.

On February 8, 2019, NCTD issued Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 28190 to provide financial audit services for FY2019-FY2023. Notices were published in two (2) newspapers of general circulation and posted on PlanetBids. The solicitation closed on March 11, 2019, with four (4) proposals being received by the deadline. All four (4) proposals were deemed responsive and responsible, and evaluated by the Source Selection Committee (SSC) in accordance with the following selection criteria:
• Technical Approach • Personnel and Qualifications • Proposed Staffing, Implementation, and Review Approach • Cost Proposal
A best and final offer (BAFO) was requested on April 8, 2019, which resulted in an overall reduction of Vavrinek, Trine, Day and Company, LLP’s (VTD)’s cost proposal and resultant cost savings of $11,426 from the original proposal. The SSC concluded that VTD was the highest-ranking firm and determined its BAFO provides NCTD with the best overall value. VTD’s BAFO was under NCTD’s independent cost estimate (ICE) that was completed by staff prior to the solicitation and therefore staff has determined the proposal to be fair and reasonable.
Staff recommends that the Board award Agreement No. 19047 to VTD for financial audit services for a period of five (5) years in an amount not-to-exceed $317,500.

Time Sensitive: ☐ Consent: ☒
STAFF Award Purchase Order No. 33982 to Autolift Services, Inc. for the purchase of RECOMMENDATION: portable lifts to support bus and SPRINTER operations in an amount not-to- exceed $336,392.
BACKGROUND The North County Transit District (NCTD) has three (3) sets of four (4) mobile INFORMATION: column bus lifts that are beyond their useful service life and require replacement. These lifts are required to perform preventative and reactive maintenance activities at the BREEZE Maintenance Facilities.
SPRINTER also has an existing set of jacks that are utilized for maintenance of the SPRINTER fleet at the SPRINTER Operations Facility (SOF). To reduce the downtime for projects and allow parallel execution of the planned maintenance, a second set of eight (8) lifting jacks is required.
On February 14, 2019, NCTD issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 28241 for the purchase of bus and SPRINTER Portable Lifts. Notices were published in two (2) newspapers of general circulation and posted on PlanetBids. Eight (8) bids were received by the March 20, 2019 deadline and two (2) were deemed responsive and responsible. A summary of the responsive and responsible bids are as follows:
Bidder Name Base Bid Optional Grant Total Bid SPRINTER lifts
Autolift Services, Inc. $71,791.75 $264,600 $336,391.75
Western Pump, Inc. $116,875.90 No Bid $116,875.90
Following the bid analysis, it was determined that Autolift Services, Inc. provided the lowest, responsive and responsible bid. Autolift Services, Inc.’s bid was over NCTD’s independent cost estimate (ICE) that was completed by staff prior to the solicitation. The variance between the ICE and the Bid was primarily due to the Buy America provision not factored into the estimate for the SPRINTER lifts. Following review, staff has deemed the bid to be fair and reasonable.
Staff recommends that the NCTD’s Board of Directors award Purchase Order No. 33982 to Autolift Services, Inc. for the purchase of portable lifts to support bus and SPRINTER operations in an amount not-to-exceed $336,392.

Time Sensitive: ☐ Consent: ☐
STAFF Adopt Resolution No. 19-03 approving modifications to Board Policy No. 19, RECOMMENDATION: Delegation of Authority to the Executive Director.
BACKGROUND Pursuant to Board Policy No. 1, General Provisions: “At least annually, staff will INFORMATION: review and suggest revisions to existing North County Transit District’s (NCTD) Board of Directors’ (Board) Policies, as appropriate, and bring new Board Policies, if appropriate, to the Board for consideration and approval.”
On September 19, 2018, Assembly Bill 3177 (AB 3177) was approved by the Governor and filed with the Secretary of State with an effective date of January 1, 2019. AB 3177 realigned NCTD’s procurement authorities with other local agencies. As a result, AB 3177 increased NCTD’s informal bid threshold for materials, goods, equipment and services to $100,000 and expressly authorized NCTD to opt into the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (Act). Subsequently, on February 21, 2019 the Board adopted Resolution No. 19-01 electing to participate in the Act. Pursuant to the Act, the informal bid threshold for public works projects for NCTD has increased from $10,000 to $200,000.
Due to the provisions established in Board Policy 19, the NCTD Executive Director has the authority to award initial contracts up to $100,000; approve contract amendments up to $50,000 (singular or cumulative) unless the amendment would increase the contract value over $100,000; and award Task Order Agreements (TOA) up to $100,000. The Executive Director is required to report contract actions and modifications made in accordance with Board Policy No. 19 to the Board on a quarterly basis. Contract actions above the provisions of Board Policy No. 19 are presented to the Board for approval.
Over the past two years, staff has prepared 143 staff reports and related material for Board consideration. Many of these items were routine, required activities for continued operations such as software licenses, facilities maintenance, and other routine business requirements. Staff conducted a survey of public agencies in the San Diego County region to determine if the delegation of authority to NCTD’s Executive Director in Board Policy No. 19 is comparable to dollar thresholds delegated to Executive Directors, City Managers, and purchasing agents throughout the County. The delegation of authority from the governing body to the appointed official in San Diego County ranges from $15,000 to $5,000,000 (Cities, County, School Districts, and Transit Agencies). Following this analysis, and in order to realize efficiencies in the procurement and Board processes in the purchase of materials, goods and equipment to support continued operations, staff recommends that the Board of Directors authorize the Executive Director to award initial contracts up to $200,000, amend contracts up to $100,000 (singular or cumulative), and award individual TOAs up to $200,000, which is reflected in Resolution No. 19-03. The Executive Director will still be required to report contract actions and modifications made in accordance with Board Policy No. 19 to the Board on a quarterly basis. April 18, 2019 Board Meeting Staff Report No.: SR-19-04-012 General Counsel has reviewed and approved the proposed modifications to Board Policy No. 19 and staff has provided strikeout/underline and clean versions of the proposed modifications for the Board’s consideration. Additionally, the proposed modifications were presented to the Board’s Executive Committee on April 4, 2019 and were approved to advance to the full Board for consideration. If the Board adopts Resolution No. 19-03, the adopted policy shall supersede all similar policies, resolutions, and other documents previously adopted by the Board or approved by the Executive Director regarding the subject matter contained therein.
Staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution No. 19-03 approving modifications to Board Policy No. 19, Delegation of Authority to the Executive Director.

• On February 21, 2019, the Board adopted Resolution 19-01 electing to participate in the State of California’s Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (Act). • The Act authorizes NCTD to contract for public projects of $200,000 or less by informal bid procedures. • Informal bid procedures include reduced bid times with no requirement to advertise in newspapers of general circulation. • Informal bid procurements above $5,000 require staff to seek a minimum of three (3) competitive quotes.
2 Analysis of Board Policy No. 19
• With the authority currently provided in Board Policy No. 19, staff prepares many items for Board approval on an annual basis. • Over the past two (2) years staff has prepared 143 staff reports and related materials for Board consideration. • Many of these items are routine required activities for continued operations such as software licenses, facilities maintenance, and other routine business requirements.
3 Analysis of Board Policy No. 19
• The Board preparation cycle for each contract action takes approximately eight (8) weeks, and several hours of staff time on a monthly basis. • In many cases the contract did not exceed ED authority at the time of award, but subsequently the addition of a routine change order increased the total contract value above the ED’s authority requiring a stop in the work while staff sought the Board’s approval on the contract modification or a ratification by the Board. • Most procurement activity that NCTD conducts on a day-to-day basis far exceeds the current $100,000 threshold.
4 Analysis of Board Policy No. 19
• Staff conducted a survey of public agencies in San Diego County to determine contracting thresholds delegated to staff from the governing board. • The range for governing board approval is from $15,000 to $5,000,000 (Cities, County, School Districts, and Transit Agencies).
5 Proposed Revisions to Board Policy No. 19
To realize efficiencies in the procurement and Board approval processes, staff recommends amending Board Policy No. 19 as follows: • Authorize ED to award initial contracts up to $200,000 (this corresponds with the informal bid threshold authorized by the Act) • Amend contracts (change orders/supplemental agreements) up to $100,000 (singular or cumulative) • Award individual TOAs up to $200,000 • The ED would still be required to report all contract actions and modifications made in accordance with Board Policy No. 19 to the Board on a quarterly basis 6 Executive Committee Review
• The proposed revisions to the contracting authority delegated to the Executive Director from the Board of Directors in Board Policy No. 19 was reviewed by the Executive Committee at its meeting on April 4, 2019. • The Executive Committee approved the advancement of the proposed revisions to the full Board of Directors for consideration.

10 Agenda Item # 13 AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 TO ORDERING AGREEMENT NO. 18055 FOR A LIMITED NOTICE TO PROCEED FOR THE PURCHASE OF TWO (2) CHARGER LOCOMOTIVES PURSUANT TO MULTI- STATE LOCOMOTIVE MASTER AGREEMENT NO. 14-01-DPIT FROM SIEMENS MOBILITY, INC.
Time Sensitive: ☒ Consent: ☐
STAFF Staff recommends that the Board of Directors authorize the Executive Director to RECOMMENDATION: negotiate and execute Change Order No. 2 to Ordering Agreement No. 18055 to the Multi-State Locomotive Master Agreement No. 14-01-DPIT for a limited notice-to-proceed for the purchase of two (2) additional locomotives in an amount not-to-exceed $2,000,000.
BACKGROUND The North County Transit District (NCTD) currently operates a fleet of seven (7) INFORMATION: locomotives on the San Diego Subdivision to support COASTER operations. The fleet is composed of two (2) F-59 locomotives that were purchased as new by NCTD in 2001 and five (5) F-40 that were purchased as used locomotives that were originally built between 1975 -1992 by GM Electro-Motive Power Division. The F-40 locomotives where refurbished by MK/MPI between 1988 through 1998. On June 21, 2018, the Board of Directors awarded a contract to Siemens Mobility, Inc. for the purchase of five (5) SC-44 Charger Locomotives to replace the existing five (5) F40 locomotives. The contract provides for NCTD to exercise options to acquire additional locomotives up to a total of nine (9) if funding is available.
The Siemens Charger locomotive is a diesel-electric passenger locomotive designed and manufactured by Siemens Mobility, Inc. for the North American market. The Charger has been purchased and is operational in several states, including California, Illinois, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Washington. The Siemens Chargers are among the nation’s cleanest passenger locomotives and are the first high-speed passenger locomotive to receive Tier 4 emissions certification from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). With the environmentally-friendly Cummins-built diesel engine, the locomotives reduce emissions by nearly 90% compared to the Tier 0 F-40 locomotives currently being used by NCTD. The Charger offers a 4,000-horse power Cummins Diesel engine that has a top speed of 125 mph and provides an innovative design that allows for comfort and efficiency with state-of-the-art hardware. All Charger systems meet or exceed regulatory requirements and the locomotive is Buy America compliant.
This proposed action is to authorize the Executive Director to negotiate and execute a Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) for two (2) of those options which would be used to replace the two (2) F59 locomotives. The LNTP, if executed, would allow Siemens to procure the long lead time items and allow the delivery of the two (2) additional locomotives directly following the delivery of the existing order of five (5) Chargers on order. The proposed funding for the LNTP is $2 million which would cover long lead time items.
April 18, 2019 Board Meeting Staff Report No.: SR-19-04-013 The long lead time items that would be purchased with the LNTP are as follows:
• Complete bogies including gearboxes and traction motors • Traction converter • HEP transformer • Brake equipment • Carshell steel and laser hybrid welded parts • Positive Train Control (PTC) system and event recorders • Central Control Unit • Master controller
Staff is negotiating with Siemens regarding the structure of the proposed LNTP but will return to the Board for authorization to fully exercise the options should the additional funding necessary to complete the transaction be identified and if determined to be in the best interests of NCTD. The proposed strategy for funding the full cost for the two additional locomotives is to pursue Carl Moyer grant funding from the Air Pollution Control District combined with funding from future State Transit Assistance SB1 incremental funds for both locomotives.
Based on the foregoing, staff recommends that the Board of Directors authorize the Executive Director to negotiate and execute Change Order No. 2 to Ordering Agreement No. 18055 to the Multi-State Locomotive Master Agreement No. 14- 01-DPIT for a limited notice to proceed for the purchase of (two) 2 additional locomotives in an amount not-to-exceed $2,000,000.

Limited Notice to Proceed (LNTP) For Purchase of Two (2) Additional Locomotives Board Meeting April 18, 2019 COASTER Locomotive Fleet
• The North County Transit District (NCTD) currently operates a fleet of seven (7) locomotives on the San Diego Subdivision to support COASTER operations. • The fleet is composed of two (2) F-59 locomotives that were purchased as new by NCTD in 2001 and five (5) F-40 locomotives refurbished by MK/MPI and purchased by NCTD in 1993. • On June 21, 2018, the Board approved the purchase of five (5) Siemens Charger SC-44 locomotives at a cost of $37,138,897 to replace the five (5) F-40 locomotives and the option to purchase up to four (4) additional locomotives.
1 COASTER F-59 Replacement
• The two (2) F-59 locomotives are 18 years old and are nearing the end of their 25-year useful life. – Over the last 24 months, the two (2) F-59 locomotives have had 44 failures in revenue service • NCTD has determined that it is not cost advantageous to overhaul the COASTER F-59 locomotives – Estimated cost for overhaul is $3,397,434 versus $7,427,780 for a new locomotive – Current COASTER F-59 locomotives are Tier 2 emissions technology, while the new Siemens locomotives are Tier 4 emissions technology. • Siemens anticipates delivery of replacement locomotives in December 2020 if the LNTP is executed by April 30, 2019 – Typical locomotive delivery from time of procurement to delivery spans three (3) years – Siemens has recently received an order from Amtrak for 75 Charger locomotives and VIA Rail for 34 locomotives. – If NCTD does not act by April 30, 2019, NCTD will not be able to receive locomotives until mid-2024.
2 Limited Notice to Proceed
• The Limited Notice to Proceed is to procure long lead time items: – Complete bogies including gearboxes and traction motors – Traction converter – HEP transformer – Brake equipment – Carshell steel and laser hybrid welded parts – Positive Train Control (PTC) system and event recorders – Central Control Unit – Master controller
3 Funding the Replacement of COASTER F-59 Locomotives • Currently, NCTD does not have the approximately $15 million required to replace the two (2) COASTER F-59 locomotives • NCTD and Siemens have agreed to advance the potential procurement of the two (2) additional locomotives via an LNTP, if Board approval is granted, that would require a $2 million payment within 30 days. • Staff is negotiating with Siemens regarding the structure of the proposed LNTP but will return to the Board for authorization to fully exercise the options should the additional funding necessary to complete the transaction be identified and if determined to be in the best interests of NCTD.
4 Funding Strategy • San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) Carl Moyer Grant – NCTD received a $10 million grant from this source of funding for the five (5) replacement locomotives currently being constructed. – The San Diego APCD’s model provides $30,000 for each weighted ton for year of greenhouse gas emission reduction up to a maximum of 85% of the total project cost – NCTD staff has estimated a maximum grant eligibility of $12,627,226 for the two (2) locomotives – The San Diego APCD will need to receive a supplemental award for the State Air Resources Board to be able to provide the maximum benefit to NCTD – Applications are typically accepted in the summer and awards made in the fall/winter. • State Rail Assistance Funds 5 Replacement Locomotive
6 Staff Recommendation
• Authorize the Executive Director to Negotiate and Execute Change Order No. 2 to Ordering Agreement No. 18055 for a Limited Notice to Proceed for the Purchase of two (2) Charger Locomotives Pursuant to Multi-State Locomotive Master Agreement No. 14-01-DPIT from Siemens Mobility, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $2,000,000.

Time Sensitive: ☐ Consent: ☐
STAFF Approve Task Order Agreement No. 05 to Agreement No. 16041 with IBI Group, RECOMMENDATION: for FY2019 Bus Stop Improvements Design Services, and Bid and Construction Support in an amount not-to-exceed $159,128.
BACKGROUND The North County Transit District (NCTD), as part of the Bus Stop Optimization INFORMATION: Program, is implementing phased improvements for bus stops throughout the service area that include adding amenities and upgrades for compliance with Americans with Disability Act (ADA) requirements. NCTD staff identified eighteen (18) bus stops in Oceanside, Vista, and Escondido in need of various improvements (Attachment 15A - List of Bus Stops Proposed for Improvement). The improvements include increasing bus stop concrete pads to meet size, grade, quality, and other design considerations to accommodate the installation of bus stop furniture. A scope of work was developed for the design, bid support, and construction support for the various bus stop improvements.
On January 10, 2019, NCTD issued a Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) No. 28189 to NCTD’s on-call architectural and engineering services firms for Design Services, Bid Support, and Construction Support for FY2019 Bus Stop Improvements. Two (2) responses to the RFSQ were received by the January 23, 2019 deadline. Both Statements of Qualifications were deemed responsive and responsible and were evaluated by the Source Selection Committee (SSC) in accordance with the Federal Brooks and California Mini Brooks Acts, which is a qualifications-based selection process. The SSC determined that IBI Group was the highest qualified firm due to their knowledge and experience performing site investigations and work on projects of similar scope. Following review of the IBI Group’s cost proposal, staff entered into negotiations to ensure the scope aligned with NCTD’s expectations for the bus stops in question which resulted in a reduction of the initial proposal of $464,250.
Staff recommends that the Board approve Task Order Agreement No. 05 to Agreement No. 16041 with IBI Group for bus stop improvement design services and bid and construction support in an amount not-to-exceed $159,128. It is estimated that the design of the project will be completed by September 2019. NCTD estimates that this project will be ready for bid in December 2019 with a contract award in January 2020. The construction schedule will be established as part of the contract award.

8 Agenda Item # 15 RECEIVE THE CALENDAR YEAR 2019 DISCRETIONARY GRANTS STRATEGY AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 19-04 IN SUPPORT OF NCTD’S DISCRETIONARY GRANT APPLICATION STRATEGY
Time Sensitive: ☒ Consent: ☐
STAFF Staff recommends that the Board of Directors: RECOMMENDATION: 1) Receive the Calendar Year 2019 Discretionary Grants Strategy and adopt Resolution No. 19-04 in support of NCTD’s discretionary grant application strategy; and 2) Authorize the Executive Director to provide a draft support letter and resolution to NCTD member agencies in support of NCTD’s Calendar Year 2019 Discretionary Grants Strategy.
BACKGROUND Staff has developed the Discretionary Grants Strategy as a strategic planning INFORMATION: document to support project needs as specified in the North County Transit District’s (NCTD) Capital Improvement Program (CIP). This document includes information on key NCTD project priorities, specific grant applications that will be submitted, and a summary of state and federal funding programs. NCTD’s identified needs include:
• Capital projects that promote safety and maintain District assets in a state of good repair, including the stabilization of the Del Mar Bluffs. • Capacity-enhancing bridge replacement and double-tracking projects that support increased transit services along the LOSSAN corridor. • Replacement of locomotives to support state of good repair and service expansion. Overhaul, replacement, and expansion of rail cars and cabs to support regional plans for increased COASTER frequencies. • Buses and vans for BREEZE, LIFT, and FLEX services to replace vehicles that are past their useful life and support a state of good repair, as well as comply with California zero-emission transit bus regulations. • Facilities repair and expansion projects to support zero-emission bus deployment, as well as facilities projects to build new NCTD administrative offices and maintenance of way building. • Passenger information and amenities to improve customer service.
This document is dynamic and reflects the best information available at the time of development. Staff will update the document on an annual basis and provide regular updates on its discretionary grant strategy efforts as needed.
Discretionary grant awards are based on a number of factors, including but not limited to: merit, project eligibility per specific grant program goals and requirements, and project cost and proposed cost sharing. Grantors, in the course of reviewing grant applications, also expect that the proposed project is broadly supported within the community. As a result, many of the discretionary grant applications request specific letters of support from member agencies and key stakeholders and organizations within the region.
April 18, 2019 Board Meeting Staff Report No.: SR-19-04-015 Staff is requesting that the Board adopt Resolution No. 19-04 in support of NCTD’s discretionary grant application strategy. Additionally, in an effort to be proactive, NCTD staff will develop and is requesting that the Board support and authorize the Executive Director to provide a draft support letter and resolution to NCTD member agencies in support of NCTD’s Calendar Year 2019 Discretionary Grants Strategy for projects specified in the Discretionary Grants Strategy and for other unspecified projects and grant opportunities that may become available in the course of calendar year 2019.
Based on the foregoing, staff recommends that the Board of Directors:
1) Receive the Calendar Year 2019 Discretionary Grants Strategy and adopt Resolution No. 19-04 in support of NCTD’s discretionary grant application strategy; and 2) Authorize the Executive Director to provide a draft support letter and resolution to NCTD member agencies in support of NCTD’s Calendar Year 2019 Discretionary Grants Strategy.

NCTD FY2020-2024 Capital Improvement Program Each year, the North County Transit District (District) prepares an update of its baseline five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to review and adjust existing capital needs and plan for future capital needs. The District uses a ranking system to evaluate proposed new capital investments from District Divisions according to established criteria which prioritizes maintaining a state of good repair, regulatory requirements, safety and security, and projects that have ongoing contractual obligations. At its December 20, 2018 meeting, the District’s Board of Directors (Board) approved a constrained five-year (FY20–24) Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in the amount of $130,716,702, which included an FY20 CIP of $48,842,042 (Exhibit A). The proposed CIP investment over the FY20–24 period is $187 million below the unconstrained needs of $319 million (Exhibit B). The FY20 proposed CIP investment is approximately $46.7 million below the unconstrained needs of $95.5 million and $27 million above the $21.8 million funded in FY19. The proposed FY20–24 CIP is based on the following assumptions:
• Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant funding (Sections 5307, 5311, 5337 and 5339) of at least $36.6 million annually will be made available to the District; • State of California Carl Moyer Program funding of $10 million will be made available to the District for the procurement of five (5) replacement locomotives; • TIRCP funding of $17.7 million will be made available for fencing and signal optimization projects. Additional TIRCP funding will be generated from an On-time Performance Incentive Agreement with LOSSAN, which the District may use at its discretion; • State of California Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) will provide at least $1.6 million annually towards the future purchase of zero-emission buses; • State Transit Assistance (STA) and State Rail Assistance (SRA) funding of at least $14.2 million annually (which includes new funds generated pursuant to SB 1) will be made available to the District; and • Local revenues (TransNet and Transportation Development Act [TDA]) will increase from approximately $55 million in FY20 to $62 million in FY24. Given the District’s ongoing capital investments, and emphasis on the list of LOSSAN priority projects, District staff have identified discretionary grant funding that could aid in narrowing the gap between constrained and unconstrained capital needs. In the pages following, the District has outlined its current five-year proposed funding plan, capital needs and priority projects, federal, state, and local discretionary grant opportunities, and the District’s strategy in securing additional funding to fulfill these capital needs.

NCTD Top Project Priorities Each year, NCTD staff, its Board of Directors, customers, and other key stakeholders identify strategic areas of focus and key business initiatives as part of its annual budget process. The following sections represent several categories that are aligned with these strategic areas of focus. These goals and initiatives help define the direction of NCTD’s discretionary grant strategy, identifying key areas of need for discretionary funding. The following is a list of NCTD’s Top Project Priorities: 1. Del Mar Bluff Stabilization Projects 5 (Through Construction) 2. Del Mar Bluff Stabilization Project 6 (Design and Environmental Clearance) 3. Locomotive Replacements 4. Commuter Rail Car and Cab Replacement and Expansion 5. CNG Bus Replacements 6. Fare Collection System Replacement 7. Rose Canyon Bridge Replacement 8. SPRINTER Frequency Improvements Exhibit C provides an overview of these key project priorities, which includes high-priority capital projects, as well as other fleet replacement and facilities projects. Del Mar Bluffs Stabilization NCTD, in collaboration with SANDAG, has developed and performed bluff stabilization since 1998 that has resulted in the completion of three bluff stabilization projects at a cost of approximately $5 million. In late 2018, NCTD and SANDAG initiated a Draft Prioritization for Future Improvements – Del Mar Bluffs Stabilization to Year 2050, which outlines an approach to complete short- and mid-term improvements with preliminary cost estimates. NCTD and SANDAG are currently advancing this new phase of bluff stabilization projects that will be completed between 2019 and 2050. Del Mar Bluffs Stabilization Phase 4 is fully funded at $3 million; Phase 5 is estimated to cost $24 million; Phase 6 is estimated to cost an additional $40 to $60 million. NCTD recently requested $12 million in funding via a federal State of Good Repair grant application that would be matched with $12 million in state and local funds to advance Del Mar Bluffs Stabilization 5 – Preserving Track-Bed Support. Seeking full funding for Phases 5 and 6 of the Del Mar Bluffs Stabilization will continue to be a high priority for NCTD. Rail Fleet Replacement and Expansion NCTD will seek discretionary funding to replace and expand its fleet to support increased frequencies. Specific rail fleet projects include funding for the replacement and expansion of the locomotive fleet and the overhaul, replacement, and expansion of rail car and cab fleet. These fleet investments will help to support regional plans for increased frequencies and maintain a state of good repair. The total estimated cost for rail fleet replacement and overhaul is $81.8 million. The estimated cost for rail expansion is $43.6 million. Bus Fleet Replacement and Expansion Specific bus fleet projects include the procurement of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses and vans for BREEZE, LIFT, and FLEX services to replace 119 vehicles that are past their useful life. The total estimated cost for replacement BREEZE, LIFT, and FLEX vehicles is $47.6 million. These investments will help to maintain a state of good repair and improve service quality and reliability. Additionally, NCTD will need to invest in zero-emission bus and equipment procurement
Page 5 of 30
to comply with the California Air Resources Board’s ruling to transition public transit bus fleets to 100 percent zero-emission by 2040. NCTD is currently advancing the procurement of six (6) battery electric buses as part of a demonstration pilot for this effort, which has an associated cost of approximately $6 million. NCTD will continue to seek discretionary funding in order to transition its compressed natural gas (CNG) and diesel bus fleet to zero-emission vehicles. Next Generation Fare System NCTD and MTS share regional technologies that support transit operations and fare collection. In late 2018, San Diego MTS selected INIT (Innovations in Transportation, Inc) via a competitive procurement to provide an account-based, open architecture electronic fare system. This system will include real-time fare purchasing and loading, a website and mobile app for account management, and a vastly expanded retail network. INIT’s back-office processing and revenue management system utilizes an open architecture design to integrate with third-party vendors. The Southern California Regional Rail Authority (Metrolink) awarded a contract to INIT in mid CY2018, and NCTD will collaborate with Metrolink and LOSSAN to support fare integration. NCTD will pursue TIRCP funding as part of a comprehensive program of projects to support regional fare integration as part of its plans to upgrade ticket vending machines and fare validators as part of the San Diego regional fare system. Rose Canyon Bridge Replacements The Rose Canyon Bridges include four aging timber trestle bridges with construction dates ranging between 1917 and 1943. These bridges are located at mileposts 254.7, 255.1, 255.3, and 257.2 within Rose Canyon, between Miramar Air Station and the intersection of I-5 and SR-42. State of Good Repair bridge replacement costs for design, environmental approvals, and construction for all four bridges is estimated at $27 million. The priority for replacement in FY 19 and 20 will be bridge 257.2 as a significant amount of project development activities have been completed to make this a shovel ready project. SPRINTER Frequency Improvements In late 2012 and early 2013, NCTD conducted a concept-level analysis of passenger rail operations along the SPRINTER corridor to identify the infrastructure required for greater service frequencies. In CY2019, NCTD will reexamine these studies to identify the necessary capital investments for improving SPRINTER frequencies to 20-minute or 15-minute headways. NCTD will incorporate this analysis into a program of projects to be submitted for TIRCP funding.

Additional NCTD Project Priorities The following additional priorities are aimed at further enhancing customer service, improving service quality, increasing ridership, and developing and improving community partnerships. Advanced Technology High-quality passenger amenities help to attract and maintain riders on the NCTD system. Key transit amenities include wayfinding, real-time arrival information, an improved fare collection system, and passenger comfort features such as shelters and benches. Through investments in these amenities, NCTD can improve both the passenger experience and the relationship of NCTD facilities to the communities within the service area. Wayfinding NCTD is currently developing its Wayfinding Master Plan with the help of a design consultant. This plan will result in a master design plan and package of biddable documents for a cohesive, streamlined wayfinding system for the NCTD service area. NCTD will seek discretionary grant funding for the design and installation of the wayfinding specifications, which include both digital and static signage. Programs that have previously funded wayfinding implementation include SANDAG’s Smart Growth Incentive Program. Real-Time Arrival Information In November 2018, the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority issued a request for statement of qualifications (RFSQ) to provide the California Passenger Information Display System (CalPIDS). The Capital Corridor is seeking a vendor to design, test, implement, and maintain the elements of a PIDS for three passenger rail services in Northern California, and has opened the potential for other passenger rail agency partners in California to utilize its RFSQ as a procurement mechanism for electronic signage. NCTD will pursue TIRCP funding for an electronic signage system and may elect to utilize the CalPIDS procurement as an option. NCTD staff will review the CalPIDS package and selected vendor in preparation of the TIRCP call for projects. Next Generation Fare System NCTD will pursue funding to replace its existing ticket vending machines and fare validators as part of the regional fare system with MTS. NCTD will coordinate with MTS on the implementation of this regional fare system, which will provide a seamless, inter-operable experience for the customer throughout San Diego County. This fare system will also enable future integration with Metrolink, who has selected the same vendor for their fare system. NCTD Facilities Improvements Key facilities improvements include the following:
• Zero Emission Facility Conversion • Maintenance of Way Building • General Administration Building • Transit Oriented Development
Zero Emission Facilities Conversion In order to support the bus fleet transition to zero-emission technology, NCTD will need to invest in the expansion of its East and West divisions to accommodate the appropriate battery-electric
Page 10 of 30
charging infrastructure. NCTD estimates that this will cost approximately $41 million and is advancing a series of Project Study Reports to gather additional information on the capital needs associated with this transition. Maintenance of Way and General Administration Buildings Additionally, NCTD has identified the construction of a new General Administrative Office (GAO) building at Carlsbad Village Transit Center and a new Maintenance of Way (MOW) Building at the Del Mar Wye as key facilities priorities. NCTD’s GAO building is currently at capacity for approved NCTD personnel levels and requires significant maintenance and renovation. Remodel of the current GAO building is not fiscally responsible, leading NCTD to pursue a new GAO building opportunity at Carlsbad Village Transit Center. This building has a high-level cost estimate of $8.6 million. NCTD’s current MOW Building is a leased facility in Oceanside. NCTD seeks to build a new facility on property currently owned by NCTD with a more effective location for response times along the San Diego Subdivision. This building has a high-level cost estimate of $5.7 million. NCTD’s Development Services Division aims to initiate engineering plans, specifications, and estimates for both the GAO and MOW buildings by July 2019 if funding is secured. Transit-Oriented Development To increase transit-supportive planning in North County, NCTD will pursue discretionary grant funding for a variety of transit-oriented and smart growth projects. Transit-oriented communities help to form a strong ridership base by providing improved access to transit services. NCTD will pursue large-scale joint development projects located near or at transit stations. These projects could feature residential, commercial, or mixed-use real estate opportunities that maximize access to public transportation. Specific joint development opportunities include Oceanside, Carlsbad Village, Solana Beach, and Escondido stations. Mobility Hubs NCTD regularly submits grant applications for a variety of planning studies. These studies include long-range planning such as NCTD’s Land Use and Transit Integration Study and the Strategic Multimodal Transit Implementation Plan. As the transportation industry evolves, NCTD will continue seeking grant funding in order to research, test, and implement new forms of mobility services in North County. As part of the regional plan, SANDAG has developed a Regional Mobility Hub Strategy to demonstrate how transportation services, amenities, and supporting technologies can work together to improve access to transit and other shared mobility choices for communities throughout San Diego County. In support of this strategy, NCTD will pursue discretionary grant opportunities that help develop Mobility Hubs within North County. This includes projects such as shared micromobility (scooters and bikeshare) and shared ride services such as Uber, Lyft, and other micro-transit providers. The previously identified passenger information and amenities help to support development of regional mobility hubs. Top Ten LOSSAN Project Priorities NCTD, in coordination with the Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency (LOSSAN), and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) have developed a priority listing of projects (Exhibit D). This program is focused on state of good repair and capacity enhancement to advance regional and state goals of improved and integrated passenger and
Page 11 of 30
freight rail service on the LOSSAN Corridor. Safety, continuity of operations, and state of good repair are core fundamental principles of these capital priorities. The program of projects comprises of three state of good repair projects, five double-tracking projects that support both capacity enhancement and state of good repair, and two capacity-enhancing projects. NCTD, LOSSAN, and SANDAG are pursuing funding support from both State and Federal sources for the implementation of this program of key projects. These projects are linked to current railroad operating plans, railroad state of good repair and capacity needs, and major transportation corridor projects. State of Good Repair The stabilization of the Del Mar Bluffs is NCTD’s highest ranked priority. The erosion of the Del Mar Bluffs poses a serious safety concern for the entire corridor, and is a high priority for NCTD, SANDAG, and its partners at Amtrak and BNSF. NCTD and SANDAG are coordinating to submit an application to the Federal Rail Administration’s State of Good Repair Program. The remaining two state of good repair projects support the replacement of San Onofre and Rose Creek bridges that have an average age of 80 years, well beyond their expected useful life. These bridges are identified for repair, modification, or replacement under NCTD’s federally-mandated Bridge Management Plan. Double Tracking Five projects support the replacement of single-track bridges that have reached the end of their useful life with double track bridges to support planned increases in passenger and freight rail operations. The Batiquitos Lagoon Double Track, San Dieguito Double Track and Platform, Sorrento to Miramar-Phase 2, and Eastbrook to Shell Double Track are in final design and will be shovel ready by 2020. The La Costa to Encinitas Station Double Track project is ready to be advanced into preliminary engineering. The Batiquitos Lagoon Double Track, Eastbrook to Shell Double Track, San Dieguito Double Track and Platform (Del Mar), and the La Costa to Encinitas Station Double Track project are all part of the North Coast Corridor Public Works Plan. Per state law (Kehoe SB 468), these projects are required to be completed concurrently with improvements on Interstate 5 to minimize environmental impacts associated with construction activities and provide multimodal transportation improvements. These single-track bridges have reached and/or are approaching the end of their useful life. These investments represent significant benefits to the public by ensuring continued safe operations through sensitive habitat while removing single-track train traffic choke-points. The Sorrento to Miramar-Phase 2 project adds double tracking and raises operating speeds from 25 mph to 40 mph for passenger trains on the Miramar Grade which is the steepest and slowest stretch on the San Diego portion of the LOSSAN corridor. This project will support improved movement of both freight and passenger operations and remove a critical choke-point that poses daily risk of delays in the event of an incident or equipment failure. Capacity Enhancement The remaining two high priority projects include the construction of the Convention Center Platform and the procurement of three new five car COASTER passenger trainsets to provide increased frequencies. The Convention Center Platform (CCP) supports one seat rides to downtown San Diego, representing a ridership generator for commuters and special events
Page 12 of 30
attendees. The Convention Center Platform will also increase capacity at the Santa Fe Depot for both passenger and freight operations. To achieve the benefits of the state of good repair and capacity enhancement projects, NCTD will need three additional trainsets by 2020 to complement increased frequency and limited stop service that will be operated by Amtrak. The need for the additional trainsets comes directly from SANDAG modeling in the 2018 Infrastructure Development Plan for the LOSSAN Corridor in San Diego County. NCTD is currently procuring replacement train equipment and has included options to support expedited delivery of the additional trainsets. The San Diego region has demonstrated its commitment to improved rail service on the San Diego portion of the LOSSAN corridor by investing more than $215 million in local funds derived from TransNet into the LOSSAN Corridor. The ten projects that have been identified, if implemented, will significantly advance passenger and freight rail service and support current efforts from LOSSAN, NCTD, BNSF, Metrolink, and CALSTA to provide improved and integrated rail service in Southern California.

State and Regional Discretionary Grant Opportunities The following section provides an overview of state and regional discretionary grant programs relevant to NCTD, including funding levels and potential NCTD projects that are eligible under each program. Table 5 provides an overview of funding levels, while Table 6 provides an overview of each program’s focus area and eligible projects. State and Regional Funding Sources The Road Repair and Accountability Act (Chapter 5, Statutes of 2017, SB 1) was enacted in 2017 and provides stable, long-term funding for state and local transportation infrastructure through fuel taxes and vehicle value-based transportation improvement fees. SB 1 provides an average of $5.4 billion per year over the next ten years for a variety of state and local projects. The table below provides a breakdown of the proposed SB 1 Funding in the 2019-2020 Budget. The Governor’s office will release a five-year infrastructure plan that will identify priorities for investments in the state’s infrastructure later this year.
Table 2: State SB 1 Funding Allocation Road Repair and Accountability Act Funding (SB 1) FY2019-2020 Local Road Repairs $1.2 billion Repair and Maintenance of the State Highway System $1.2 billion Repair and Maintain Bridges and Culverts $400 million Improve Trade Corridors $307 million Increase Throughput on Congested Commute Corridors $250 million Local Transit Operations $458 million Capital Improvements for Transit, Commuter, and Intercity $386 million Rail (TIRCP Program) Local Partnership Projects $200 million Active Transportation Program (ATP) $100 million Expansion of Freeway Service Patrols $25 million Local Planning Grants $25 million Total $5.4 billion Source: Governor’s Budget Summary 2019-20; January 9, 2019 Additionally, proceeds from the Cap-and-Trade Program support a wide range of programs and projects that are relevant to NCTD. The Legislature and Governor appropriate money from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) to State agencies through the Budget process. The California Air Resources Board’s FY2018-2019 Funding Plan for Clean Transportation Incentives represents a total of $483 million in clean transportation investments. This includes $455 million for Low Carbon Transportation investments and $28 million for the Air Quality Improvement Program funded with Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds, which are deposited in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). This Plan includes $180 million for Clean Truck & Bus Vouchers and the Zero- and Near-Zero Emission Freight Facilities Projects. The development of the FY2019-2020 Funding Plan is currently underway. Key Calendar Year 2019 Applications NCTD is advancing a program of projects that build capacity and bring assets into a state of good repair. NCTD anticipates participating in call for projects for key funding programs including, but not limited to, the Carl Moyer Program, Low Carbon Transit Operations Program, and Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program.

Eligibility Requirements and Considerations Disadvantaged communities in California are specifically targeted for investment of proceeds from the State’s cap-and-trade program. These investments are aimed at improving public health, quality of life and economic opportunity in California’s most burdened communities at the same time reducing pollution that causes climate change. Authorized by the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32), the Cap and Trade Program is one of several strategies that California uses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. The funds must be used for programs that further reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. In 2012, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 535 (de Leon), directing that 25 percent of the proceeds from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) go to projects that provide a benefit to disadvantaged communities. The legislation gave CalEPA responsibility for identifying those communities. In 2016, the Legislature passed AB 1550 (Gomez), which now requires that 25 percent of proceeds from the fund be spent on projects located in disadvantaged communities. Following a series of public workshops in February 2017, CalEPA has released its list of disadvantaged communities for the purpose of SB 535. No census tracks within NCTD’s service area were designated as an eligible disadvantaged community by CalEPA. Disadvantaged communities are defined as the top 25 percent scoring areas from CalEnviroScreen along with other areas with high amounts of pollution and low populations. CalEnviroScreen is a screening tool that evaluates the burden of pollution from multiple sources in communities while accounting for potential vulnerability to the adverse effects of pollution. CalEnviroScreen ranks census tracts in California based on potential exposures to pollutants, adverse environmental conditions, socioeconomic factors and prevalence of certain health conditions. Data used in the CalEnviroScreen model come from national and state sources. CalEnviroScreen is used by CalEPA and its boards and departments to aid in administering environmental justice grants, promote compliance with environmental laws, prioritize site-cleanup activities and identify opportunities for sustainable economic development. It is also being used to identify disadvantaged communities in California It is important to keep in mind the State’s emphasis on disadvantaged communities, particularly when directing funds from the Cap and Trade Program and other funding sources. Additional requirements in some of the funding programs below include eligibility for particular types of agencies. To pursue some funding sources, it may be necessary to partner with local cities or other government entities on joint applications.

11 Agenda Item # 16 APPROVE REQUEST TO SANDAG FOR FUNDING COASTER EQUIPMENT IN SUPPORT OF SERVICE EXPANSION
Time Sensitive: ☒ Consent: ☐
STAFF Approve and execute a letter to the San Diego Association of Governments RECOMMENDATION: (SANDAG) requesting the scheduling of an item on a future agenda to provide funding for two additional trainsets to support the implementation of increased COASTER frequencies as specified in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan.
BACKGROUND The North County Transit District (NCTD) and the San Diego Association of INFORMATION: Governments (SANDAG) are focused on increasing transit ridership and improving the riding experience of our customers. The San Diego region has demonstrated its commitment to improved service on the San Diego portion of the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor (LOSSAN) by investing more than $767 million ($210 million in local funds derived from TransNet and $557 million from federal and other sources) into the LOSSAN corridor for rail infrastructure improvements and dedicating TransNet funds to support future operations.
The COASTER commuter rail service currently provides 22 weekday round trips with 4 additional trips for Friday nights (Attachment 16A). The COASTER schedule is deficient in the number of trips provided during the peak and non- peak periods to support the needs of commuters. NCTD has received consistent feedback from customers and key stakeholders requesting increased service frequencies. The 2050 Revenue Constrained Regional Plan (Attachment 16B) contemplates operating COASTER trains on 20-minute frequencies during the peak period within the 2018 decade, a significant improvement over the current headways that range between 45 to 60 minutes during the peak period. SANDAG and NCTD staff, within the context of the 2050 Regional Plan, have developed a phased implementation of increased frequencies. NCTD staff has completed an analysis that indicates that COASTER service frequencies can be increased to 30-minute headways during the peak and 60-minute headways during the non- peak period with the procurement of two new trainsets.
NCTD is currently procuring replacement locomotives and passenger cars, implementing new and upgraded technologies, and exploring new first and last mile solutions to support its plans to grow transit ridership. In order to implement its plans to grow transit ridership, SANDAG – as was contemplated in the TransNet Ordinance – needs to provide $43.6 million so that NCTD can procure capacity-enhancing locomotives, rail cars, and cabs. It typically takes approximately three (3) years to procure and receive delivery of rail cars and locomotives. However, NCTD has included options in its current procurement of locomotives so that two additional capacity enhancing locomotives can be delivered in 2021. Also, NCTD is part of a multi-agency procurement for rail cars and cabs that can be delivered by 2021/2022. To take advantage of this unique opportunity, NCTD needs SANDAG to provide a commitment by July 31, 2019 to fund the costs in accordance with the attached milestone payment schedule (Attachment 16C – Rail Equipment Milestone Payment Schedule).
April 18, 2019 Board Meeting Staff Report No.: SR-19-04-016 NCTD staff has been working with SANDAG staff to support agreement to provide this funding. Given the NCTD’s Board of Directors’ desire to improve services as soon as possible, staff has developed the attached draft letter (Attachment 16D) from the Board to be transmitted to the SANDAG Chair and Executive Director to highlight the importance of providing this critical funding to take advantage of the infrastructure and other investments that have been made to support improved frequencies.
Accordingly, staff is requesting that the Board approve and execute a letter to SANDAG requesting the scheduling of an item on a future agenda to provide funding for two additional trainsets to support the implementation of increased COASTER frequencies as specified in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan.

The Honorable Steve Vaus Board Chair San Diego Association of Governments 401 B Street, Suite 800 San Diego, CA 92101
Mr. Hasan Ikhrata Executive Director San Diego Association of Governments 401 B Street, Suite 800 San Diego, CA 92101
Re: Funding Request for COASTER Increased Service Frequencies
Dear Messrs. Vaus and Ikhrata:
The undersigned members of the North County Transit District (NCTD) Board of Directors would like to formally request that the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) place on the agenda of a future meeting of their Board of Directors, a request to fund the capital acquisition costs for two new trainsets (consisting of two locomotives and eight rail cars and two rail cabcars), which will increase capacity as specified in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan.
Every member of both our Board of Directors is focused on increasing transit ridership and improving the riding experience of our customers. Our region has demonstrated its commitment to improved service on the San Diego portion of the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor (LOSSAN) by investing more than $767 million ($210 million in local funds derived from TransNet and $557 million from federal and other sources) into the LOSSAN corridor for rail infrastructure improvements and dedicating TransNet funds to support future operations.
NCTD has received consistent feedback from customers and key stakeholders wanting to know when NCTD will implement increased service frequencies; specifically, when NCTD will implement the region’s plans that would result in 30- minute COASTER frequencies to realize the significant investments in local, state, and federal funds to implement capacity-enhancement projects. NCTD is currently procuring replacement locomotives and passenger cars, implementing new and Re: Funding Request for COASTER Increased Service Frequencies April 18, 2019 Page 2 of 3
upgraded technologies, and exploring new first and last mile solutions to support our plans to grow transit ridership.
In order to implement our plans to grow transit ridership, we need SANDAG – as was contemplated in the TransNet Ordinance – to provide $43.6 million so that NCTD can procure the two capacity-enhancing trainsets. As you are aware, it typically takes approximately 3 years to procure and take delivery of rail cars and locomotives. However, NCTD has included options on its current procurement of locomotives so that two additional capacity enhancing locomotives can be delivered in 2021 as well. Also, NCTD is part of a multi-agency procurement for rail cars and cabs that can also support delivery by 2021/2022. To take advantage of this unique opportunity, we need SANDAG to provide a commitment by July 31, 2019 to fund the costs in accordance with the attached milestone payment schedule.
We have requested that NCTD’s Executive Director, Matthew Tucker, work with you to find an approach to make this happen. We are hoping that the SANDAG Board of Directors, with your leadership, will work collaboratively with NCTD to achieve this short-term goal that will provide significant benefits and congestion relief on the North Coast Corridor.
Sincerely,

5 2050 Regional Transportation Plan
• The San Diego region has invested more than $767 million ($210 million in local funds derived from TransNet and $557 million from federal and other sources) into the LOSSAN corridor for rail infrastructure improvements and dedicating TransNet funds to support future operations. • The San Diego region, as part of TransNet, is currently collecting dedicated funding to support implementation of the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan which contemplates operating COASTER trains on 20 minute frequencies during the peak period within the 2018 decade. • NCTD staff has collaborated to develop an alternative plan that is reflective of service needs and railroad capacity. – Trains every 30 minutes in each direction during peak (5:00am to 9:00am, 3:00pm to 7:00pm) – Trains every 60 minutes in each direction mid-day – Increase from 22 to 42 trains daily 6 COASTER Trainset
7 COASTER Fleet Needs
• Existing Fleet – 7 Locomotives • 5 F-40 • 2 F-59 – 28 Cars • 10 Cab Cars • 18 Coach Cars • Capacity Enhancement – 2 Locomotives – 10 Cars • 2 Cab Cars • 8 Coach Cars
8 Capacity Enhancement Needs • The total cost of the two (2) new trainsets is ~$43.6 million • SANDAG was required to purchase the capacity enhancing equipment similar to what has been done for the MTS Mid-Coast. • NCTD and SANDAG staff have discussed the need for the new equipment along with the long lead time for delivery. • To achieve the region’s plans and public demand for increased COASTER frequencies, the NCTD Board and SANDAG Board need to provide leadership to identify the funding necessary to purchase the capacity enhancing equipment.
9 Staff Recommendation
• Approve and execute a letter to the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) requesting the scheduling of an item on a future SANDAG Board agenda to provide funding for two additional trainsets to support the implementation of increased COASTER frequencies as specified in the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan.

April 18, 2019 Board Meeting Staff Report No.: SR-19-04-017 The Executive Director is requesting feedback from the Board of Directors regarding the budget guidance. The Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer are using the 5-year budget model to support strategic investments that will foster increased ridership and address state of good repair needs. The strategy assumes that NCTD will be aggressive and successful in seeking discretionary funding to meeting the significant capital needs that exist and that NCTD will cash flow certain projects for its existing cash assets rather than assuming debt. Simultaneously, NCTD will seek cost efficiency and prepare for potential downturn in the economy that could impact public funding should it occur. The Board will adopt the FY2020 Operating and Capital Budget at its June meeting. The Executive Director’s presentation is intended to support the Board providing feedback and direction in the early stages of the budget development process.
