RFP 5-3337 EXHIBIT a May 11, 2015 Page 1 of 23 SCOPE OF RFP 5-3337 EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK Preparation of Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for the OC Streetcar Project 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is embarking on the development of a transit capital improvement project to improve mobility and connectivity in the most densely populated and highly transit dependent area in central Orange County. The OC Streetcar Project (the Project), formerly known as the Santa Ana/Garden Grove Streetcar, will extend 4.15 miles from the Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) through Downtown Santa Ana and into the eastern portion of the City of Garden Grove and will operate both within the public street and the Pacific Electric Rights-of Way. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is seeking a Design Consultant (DC) to develop Plans, Specifications, and Estimates (PS&E) for OCTA’s bid and award of design-bid-build construction contracts to implement the Project. The DC shall produce the PS&E packages with all necessary approvals in a timely manner to meet the project budget and targeted bid dates. The DC shall manage and lead an efficient final design process that results in PS&E packages that are as free from conflicts, ambiguities, omissions, and errors as possible. This is Orange County’s first modern urban rail transit system. The Project will be funded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). It will be a high-profile project with extensive oversight. 2.0 OBJECTIVES The objective of the DC’s work efforts are summarized into the following key components: • Provide the required staff, resources, and expertise to effectively produce quality PS&E packages on schedule and within the design and construction budgets. • Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local laws, regulations, rules, mandates, and standards applicable to OCTA and the project. • Work cooperatively and comply with the requirements of OCTA, FTA, the Cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove (Cities), California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), County of Orange, Utility Owners, and other federal, state, and local regulatory agencies as required. 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 Project Overview The Project is being developed by OCTA and the Cities to accomplish the following overall objectives: • Improve transit accessibility and mobility. • Be financially feasible and cost efficient to construct, operate and maintain. • Reduce automobile trips and improve air quality. • Support economic vitality and job growth. May 11, 2015 Page 1 of 23 RFP 5-3337 EXHIBIT A • Encourage pedestrian and bicycle activity. • Be sensitive to the character of the community. • Support plans for transit-oriented development. The Project will provide east-west transit service between the SARTC and a new transportation hub located near the intersection of Harbor Boulevard and Westminster Avenue in Garden Grove. This is shown in Exhibit 1. Exhibit 1: OC Streetcar Project The Project will utilize modern streetcar technology and primarily operate at street grade in mixed traffic, with some exclusive right-of- way, and will operate using an overhead power supply. The Project will utilize the Pacific Electric Right-of-Way (PE ROW, owned by OCTA) through the western half of its alignment and substantially operate along Santa Ana Boulevard and 4th Street along the eastern half of its alignment. The system will have a route length of about 4.15 miles (8.30 track miles), with 12 stations in each direction and an anticipated fleet size of seven vehicles. The City of Santa Ana estimates ridership to range between 3,770 and 8,410 in daily boardings (2035). Also, the City of Santa Ana estimates the capital cost for the Project is $238 million in 2011 dollars. Updated ridership and capital cost estimates will be prepared by the Project Management Consultant (PMC) shortly after commencement of this design contract. The Project is a component of Measure M2, the half-cent sales tax approved by Orange County voters in 2006, which, among other transportation improvements, increases service on Metrolink between Fullerton and Laguna Niguel/Mission Viejo and Project S, within Measure M2, creates transit connections between Metrolink stations and nearby activity and employment centers. The other Project S fixed-guideway transit project, currently advancing through environmental clearance, is the Anaheim Rapid Connection (ARC) Project, which will operate from the Anaheim Regional Intermodal Center (ARTIC) through the Platinum Triangle and the Anaheim Resort. Given that less than three miles separates the two proposed modern streetcar projects on Harbor Boulevard, they could potentially be joined into a single system in the future. On July 8, 2013, the OCTA Board of Directors (Board) directed OCTA staff to “work with the City of May 11, 2015 Page 2 of 23 RFP 5-3337 EXHIBIT A Anaheim to ensure that the development of their locally preferred alternative (LPA) provides for compatibility with the proposed Santa Ana-Garden Grove Streetcar Project” (now OC Streetcar). In addition, the Central Harbor Boulevard Transit Corridor Planning study will begin during the Summer of 2015 which will evaluate transit connections along Harbor Boulevard between Westminster Boulevard in the City of Santa Ana to Commonwealth Avenue in the City of Fullerton. While this contract will only include design for the OC Streetcar Project, it will be important that the design consider the possibility of these future extensions and how a larger system in the future might affect how the Project should be designed. Vehicle procurement will be conducted by OCTA, with support from the Project Management Consultant (PMC), in parallel with Final Design. Given that future vehicle procurements resulting from service expansions, line extensions, and vehicle replacements could result in a different vehicle than the initial order, it will be important that the design accommodate as wide a range of the characteristics of modern streetcar vehicles as possible. The “OCTA Streetcar Basis of Design”, should be used as the starting point for a more detailed Project Design Criteria to be developed by the DC prior to the initial plan submittal. The Project Environmental Assessment/Draft Environmental Impact Report (EA/DEIR), Revised Environmental Assessment/Final Environmental Impact Report (REA/FEIR) and Alternatives Analysis (AA) were completed in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The LPA recommendation was approved by the Santa Ana City Council on August 5, 2014. It includes Streetcar Alternative 1, Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF) Site B (near the intersection of 5th Street and Raitt Street), and 4th Street Parking Scenario A (replacement of diagonal parking with parallel parking on the south side of the street). A Notice of Determination (NOD) was issued by the City of Santa Ana on January 20, 2015 and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was issued by FTA on March 10, 2015, providing environmental clearance for the Project. On August 11, 2014, the OCTA Board approved OCTA to serve as the lead agency for project development, engineering, construction, operations, and maintenance. As the project sponsor, OCTA will pursue FTA Section 5309 New Starts funding for the Project. On February 13, 2015, OCTA requested approval to enter into project development from the FTA, the first phase of the New Starts project, under the FTA Capital Investment Grant Program. OCTA anticipates receiving acceptance into project development in May 2015. Once approved to enter into project development, OCTA will have two years, per FTA requirements, to complete as much engineering and design work on the Project as needed to confirm project scope and cost. To realize Project efficiencies, and consistent with Measure M2 (M2) Project S: Transit Extensions to Metrolink Program, the Cities will serve in the following roles: • Support in the continued development, engineering, and construction of the Project. • Provide ten percent annual operating contribution (from the City of Santa Ana). • Assist with necessary Right-of-Way (ROW) acquisitions, approvals, and permits, as well as utilities and utility relocation. • Assist with outreach to community members, residents, business owners, and other stakeholders. May 11, 2015 Page 3 of 23 RFP 5-3337 EXHIBIT A On February 23, 2015, the OCTA Board engaged a PMC for the Project to assist OCTA with the management of project development, design, Right-of-Way acquisition, vehicle procurement, construction, establishment of operations, and start-up and testing through to the initiation of service. 3.2 Project Schedule The anticipated Project schedule is as follows: • 2014 to 1st Quarter 2015: Pre-Project Development. • 2nd Quarter 2015 to 4th Quarter 2015: Project Development. • 1st Quarter 2016 to 2nd Quarter 2017: Engineering. • 3rd Quarter 2017 to 3rd Quarter 2019: Construction. • 4th Quarter 2019: Testing/Start-Up and Revenue Operations. 3.3 Project Budget The City of Santa Ana estimated that the capital cost of the Project is $238 million in 2011 dollars. Project costs, including construction of the guideway and the maintenance facility, vehicle procurement, Right-of-Way acquisition, utility relocation, final design, and other soft costs, shall not exceed the budget limit. If any of the cost estimate updates exceeds the project budget, the DC shall recommend and implement alternatives for reducing the project costs to within the budget. 3.4 Federal Requirements The Project is expected to obtain federal funding through the FTA Capital Investment Grant Program (also known as The New Starts/Small Starts Program). As such, all work, including work under the DC’s contract, is subject to federal requirements as may be updated during the course of the project. Relevant federal requirements are generally identified in the following regulations, FTA circulars, and guidance and are available at http://www.fta.dot.gov/. Regulations • Project Management Oversight, 49 C.F.R. Part 633. • Major Capital Investment Projects, 49 C.F.R. Part 611. • Joint FTA/FHWA regulations, Metropolitan Planning, 23 C.F.R.

  • OC Streetcar Earns Envision Silver for Sustainable Infrastructure-For Release2
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: OC Streetcar Project Verified Envision® Silver by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure WASHINGTON, D.C. - (May 21, 2019) - The Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) announced today that the OC Streetcar project, managed by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), recently earned an Envision Silver rating for sustainable infrastructure. This is the 15th Envision-verified project in the state, and the first modern streetcar project in California to receive Envision recognition. The project helps OCTA and the cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove reach their goals to increase transportation options and improve transit connectivity. The $407.7 million project, which is expected to begin operation in 2022, will operate along a 4.15-mile route that connects the bustling Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center (SARTC) — providing regional rail, OCTA bus, and intercity and international bus services — to a new multimodal hub at Harbor Boulevard/Westminster Avenue in Garden Grove. The project is being constructed and will be funded primarily through a combination of local, state and federal funds, including California Climate Investments and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The project recently received a $149 million Full Funding Grant Agreement from the FTA―the first modern streetcar to receive a New Starts FFGA and the largest ever New Starts commitment to a streetcar project. Using the Envision framework helped the project support sustainability and environmental commitments for the funding agencies, including measures to mitigate environmental impacts; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; provide benefits to disadvantaged communities; and drive economic, environmental and public health benefits. 1 Developed as a collaboration between OCTA and the cities of Santa Ana and Garden Grove, the project is anticipated to play an important role in improving transit accessibility for transit-dependent residents and relieving congestion at major streets and local freeways by providing east-west connections.

  • Edmonton's Hanover 601 Streetcar Returned to Germany
    Edmonton’s Hanover 601 Streetcar returned to Germany After more than a decade in Edmonton, “Hanover 601”, the red and white streetcar that plied the rails atop the world’s highest streetcar bridge, has been returned to its native Germany to celebrate the 125th anniversary of public transit in Hanover. It will become part of a museum collection in that city. The streetcar was sold for $1.00 and departed Edmonton on September 16th. The six-axle high performance car dates from 1970 and was one of two, 600 built by Linke-Hoffman-Busch with Kiepe electrics, and 601 built by Düwag with Siemens equipment, as prototypes to replace the Hanover streetcar fleet. After testing, the operator ÜSTRA decided on eight-axle cars, and so the pair were returned to their respective builders. Boston and San Francisco wanted to bring 601 over as a prototype for a joint fleet renewal program, but this was nixed by Nixon who insisted on home grown vehicles, resulting in the disastrous SLRV design by Boeing Vertol with bodies from Japan. Düwag modified the 601 design to develop the U2 LRT car for Frankfurt, and it was subsequently modified for Edmonton, Calgary and San Diego. When Edmonton’s LRT line was being designed, ETS’ Robert Clark, having established a connection with the Düwag management, suggested a tour of North American cities with 601, but Düwag’s General Manager replied to the effect that Düwag built the best streetcars in the world and needed no such demonstration. About that time, Siemens decided to diversify its medical operation in Canada and brought along Düwag, going from a sub-contractor to prime, with the Edmonton order being key.

  • Central Harbor Boulevard Corridor Transit Study
    December 14, 2017 To: Transit Committee From: Darrell Johnson, Chief Executive Officer Subject: Central Harbor Boulevard Transit Corridor Study Overview In August 2015, the Orange County Transportation Authority initiated the Central Harbor Boulevard Transit Corridor Study to analyze transit options in the Harbor Boulevard corridor. The study scope was amended in October 2016 to also evaluate transit connections between the Anaheim Resort and the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center. In February 2017, 12 draft conceptual alternatives were presented for review and comment, and this update presents the results of the conceptual alternatives analysis. Recommendations A. Direct staff to offer presentations of the study results to the city councils in the study area, and return to the Board of Directors with a status report when completed. B. Direct staff to continue to work with technical staff from each of the corridor cities and the California Department of Transportation to identify key issues that would need to be addressed during any subsequent study efforts. Background Harbor Boulevard is one of the Orange County Transportation Authority’s (OCTA) most productive transit corridors with eight percent of the countywide daily bus boardings. While OCTA operates a high frequency of service in the study area, much more could be done to improve the quality, convenience, and visibility of the service for residents, employees, and tourists alike. The study area is characterized by some of the highest population and employment densities in the county. Moreover, the Anaheim Resort is home to the county’s largest employer (Disneyland), and is an international tourist destination that attracts 27 million annual visitors.
