2 AGENDA ITEM NO. 16-01-4A BOARD OF DIRECTORS JANUARY 22, 2016 ACTION REQUESTED –APPROVE
APPROVAL OF REVISED SOLICITATION File Number 8000100
Introduction Recommendation
Pursuant to Board direction, professional services The Board of Directors is asked to solicitations valued at $5 million or more require authorize the Executive Director to revise approval by the Board of Directors. the capacity of the existing architectural and engineering on-call contracts, as Discussion detailed in the report.
Architectural and Engineering Services
In April 2011, SANDAG solicited services for on-call architectural and engineering (A&E) design and environmental planning consultants in the maximum amount of $260 million over a five-year period.
The existing capacity of the 2011 A&E on-call solicitation has been utilized much faster than anticipated due to the acceleration of work on the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit and North Coast Corridor projects. In response to this, the Board of Directors approved an additional $20 million in capacity in July 2015 and also approved a new A&E solicitation in the maximum amount of $315 million. Since that time, SANDAG has been working with our federal funding agencies to update solicitation documents to be in compliance with relevant requirements that were released since the last on-call procurement in 2011. This delayed the release of the new A&E on-call solicitation by several months. As a result, there is a need to add an additional $20 million to the existing capacity to accommodate upcoming needs on a number of projects, including continued efforts in the North Coast Corridor, the Interstate 15 Mid-City Centerline Rapid Stations, the Regional Bikeway Program, and others. The additional capacity would help bridge the gap between the existing contracts and the new solicitation.

Discussion
In July 2014, SANDAG conducted a formal procurement to solicit services from qualified law firms or attorneys from which outside counsel will be selected to provide legal services on an as-needed, case-by- case or matter-by-matter basis. In total, 27 proposals were received in various categories of law. Staff is evaluating each category of law separately, as needs arise. The number of firms recommended for award in each category of law is based on the anticipated need in that category over the contract period as well as the overall strength of proposals.
Six proposals were received in the insurance legal services category; three firms were selected for interviews, and ultimately two firms are recommended for an award in this category of law, as listed below. A summary of overall evaluation results in this category of law is included as Attachment 1.
• Christensen and Spath
• Higgs Fletcher & Mack
Six proposals were received in the campaign, elections, and ethics law category, three firms were selected for interview and ultimately two firms are recommended for an award in this category of law, as listed below. A summary of overall evaluation results in this category of law is included as Attachment 2
• Richards Watson & Gershon
• Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz
The proposed contracts for all categories of law allow for a five-year term. The timing and amount of work that will be needed from the outside counsel firms in each category will depend on the need for legal services in that category of law for individual SANDAG Overall Work Program and Capital Improvement Program projects in coming years. Therefore, the amount of each contract awarded will vary among the firms as projects are assigned under each contract. An initial contract value of $500 or more will be assigned to each firm and task orders will be utilized to add additional capacity to each contract as needs arise. The maximum aggregate value of all of the contracts awarded from the solicitation, including the insurance legal services and campaign, elections, and ethics law categories, will not exceed
$14 million. Staff will return to the Board of Directors for approval of contracts in the other categories of law as firms are evaluated.
The type of work authorized under each of the resulting contracts will vary depending on the type of project it relates to. The outside counsel firm for each task order will be selected based on its ability to accomplish the scope of work, special expertise of the firm’s team, proposed cost or level of effort, availability of firm’s staff to complete the work in a timely manner, and performance on prior task orders.
The specific SANDAG projects that are anticipated to utilize the legal services contracts are:

4 AGENDA ITEM NO. 16-01-5 BOARD OF DIRECTORS JANUARY 22, 2016 ACTION REQUESTED – ADOPT
FINAL MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION: SAN DIEGO RIVER TRAIL – QUALCOMM STADIUM SEGMENT File Number 1223052
Introduction Recommendation
SANDAG has completed preliminary engineering and The Board of Directors is asked to: the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Qualcomm Stadium segment of the San Diego River 1. Adopt the Final Mitigated Negative Trail. The MND satisfies the requirements of the Declaration for the Qualcomm Stadium California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Adoption segment of the San Diego River Trail of the MND and related Mitigation Monitoring and (provided in full as Attachment 3); and Reporting Program will allow staff to move forward with final design and construction of this project. 2. Adopt the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Qualcomm Discussion Stadium segment of the San Diego River Trail, which identifies measures Background that are required as part of the project to mitigate or avoid significant The San Diego River Trail is a key component of the environmental effects (Appendix G of regional bike network and Regional Bike Plan Early Attachment 3). Action Program (EAP), connecting the City of Santee to the Pacific Ocean through the heart of the San Diego region. The Qualcomm Stadium segment completes one of the missing links in the corridor (Attachments 1 and 2). The project connects to two light rail stations over its 0.8 miles (Fenton Parkway and Qualcomm Stadium) and ends just short of the Mission San Diego station. It directly serves the Mission Valley Public Library, the Fenton Marketplace shopping center, and Qualcomm Stadium.
The project was developed in cooperation with the City of San Diego, the Mission Valley Community Planning Group, and the San Diego River Conservancy, which promotes development of the San Diego River Trail as part of its mission to restore and conserve the area along the San Diego River. Special efforts also were made to involve the Qualcomm Stadium Advisory Board.
The planning, preliminary engineering, and preparation of the environmental document are supported by a Proposition 84 (2006) grant for $168,000 from the state Coastal Conservancy along with $98,000 from the TransNet EAP. Upon completion of final design in early FY 2017, construction is scheduled to begin in January 2017.
The project consists of a Class I bikeway (a path that provides a separated right-of-way for the exclusive use of people walking and riding bikes), extending eastward from the terminus of Fenton Parkway
along a vegetated slope behind the Fenton Marketplace shopping center and through the southern portion of the Qualcomm Stadium parking lot to connect with Rancho Mission Road. The San Diego River is located adjacent to the bikeway, to the south. The bikeway would not encroach into the river corridor. Apart from the two ends of the project that change grade from Fenton Parkway and Rancho Mission Road to the level of the parking lot, most of the bike path would occur on existing, paved surfaces within the stadium parking lot delineated by painted lines and separated from stadium traffic by a vertical barrier.
The facility through the parking lot is considered an interim improvement until such time as planned river park development or stadium redevelopment takes place, but the physical improvements to the trail through the parking lot are modest, consisting of striping and installation of fencing or other physical barrier between the trail and stadium traffic. Construction of the retaining walls and other improvements at the two ends of the project where most of the expense would be incurred will be needed even after the full river park is developed. Total estimated cost of project construction is approximately $1 million.
California Environmental Quality Act Compliance
The Final MND consists of: (1) the Draft MND, including all revisions; (2) all appendices to the Draft MND; (3) comments received on the Draft MND; and (4) responses to comments. The Draft MND was released for a 30-day public comment period between November 4, 2015, and December 4, 2015.
Three comments were received on the Draft MND from one state agency, one federal agency, and one individual. Written responses to the comments are provided in Appendix G of the Final MND (Attachment 3).
The Final MND incorporates the minor revisions made to the Draft MND as a result of comments received during the public review period as well as other minor clarifications and revisions. All changes to the Draft MND are shown in strikeout underline format in the Final MND. Additionally, staff has prepared a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program in compliance with Public Resources Code 21081.6 and CEQA Guidelines 15097 to ensure compliance with the mitigation measures identified in the MND during project construction. The Final MND concludes that there would be no significant environmental impacts associated with construction or operation of the proposed bike path with the implementation of mitigation measures related to biological resources, cultural resources, hazards and hazardous materials, noise, and recreation. None of the comments received or other changes to the Draft MND change the overall conclusions. The project is anticipated to have positive environmental effects with respect to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation/traffic.
The technical appendices and related documents for the Final MND are available online at: keepsandiegomoving.com/SDRiverTrail
Next Steps
Following action by the Board of Directors, staff will move forward with final design of the Qualcomm Stadium segment of the San Diego River Trail.

FY 2015 TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT File Number 1500300 AUDIT EXTENSION REQUEST
Introduction Recommendation
In accordance with California Public Utilities Code The Board of Directors is asked to approve (PUC) Section 99245, each Transportation the proposed FY 2015 Transportation Development Act (TDA) claimant must submit an Development Act audit extension request audit within 180 days after the end of the fiscal year. to February 29, 2016, for the North County SANDAG, acting as the Regional Transportation Transit District. Planning Agency (RTPA) for the San Diego region, may grant up to a 90-day extension, moving the deadline from December 27, 2015, to no later than March 30, 2016. No further extensions are permitted.
The TDA audit fieldwork for most of the claimants is complete; however, there is one claimant that was not completed within the required timeframe. The TDA audit requirements are governed by the California PUC and the California Code of Regulations, which specifically prohibit approval of the FY 2017 TDA allocations until the FY 2015 TDA audits are submitted to the State Controller’s Office.
Discussion
SANDAG, as the RTPA, is to receive the annual fiscal audit report from each claimant within 180 days of the fiscal year end. The RTPA may grant up to a 90-day extension as it deems necessary. While every effort is made to complete all audits within the 180 days, there are certain situations in which an extension request may be appropriate. The North County Transit District (NCTD) is requesting an extension to allow sufficient time to provide final documentation for the audit process.
The NCTD is expected to issue the audit reports no later than February 29, 2016.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 16-01-8 BOARD OF DIRECTORS JANUARY 22, 2016 ACTION REQUESTED – INFORMATION
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM File Number 8000100
Introduction
Federal regulations require the adoption of an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Program as a condition of receipt of federal funds. The SANDAG administrative policies and procedures mandate EEOs in recruitment, hiring, and employment for both applicants and employees. The agency also has policies that forbid discrimination and provide grievance procedures for employees and visitors to SANDAG who believe they have been a victim of discrimination.
In accordance with SANDAG Board Policy No. 007: Equal Employment Opportunity Program, this report summarizes employment results for 2015 as well as reviews EEO Program goals for the upcoming year.
Discussion
2015 Employment Results
Since January 1, 2015, 67 new employees were hired by SANDAG; 9 of these individuals filled vacant, Regular staff positions and the other 58 filled various contingent staff positions (Limited- Term, Tolling Operations Personnel [TOP], interns, and temporary positions).
Of all the recruitments conducted last year, 85 percent were external – that is, open to both internal and external candidates; 15 percent of job openings were open only to current employees. Regardless of whether a recruitment is external or internal, the process of selecting candidates for vacant positions always is conducted in an open, competitive manner consistent with the SANDAG EEO Program.
With each recruitment for a Regular, Limited-Term, or TOP staff position, notices regarding the job opening are sent to approximately 200 regional contacts that include various minority and multicultural newspapers, websites, governmental agencies, professional organizations, community groups, colleges, and universities. These recruiting sources are used to reach as many qualified applicants as possible from minority, ethnic, and racial groups as well as female applicants.
Last year, the agency’s external recruitment efforts elicited applications from more than 1,066 qualified candidates for all staff positions. As part of the application process, each candidate is invited to voluntarily provide demographic information. Based on data collected during 2015, 47 percent of candidates who provided information were female and 46 percent were from
minority groups. These statistics compare favorably to the San Diego Region Civilian Labor Force (from Census 2010 data), in which 46 percent of the population is female and 47 percent are from minority groups. Further, of the 67 new employees hired through the SANDAG recruitment program last year, 58 percent were female and 49 percent were from minority groups.
In the past year, 25 employees were promoted to higher-level positions; 10 of these individuals were promoted after successfully competing in either internal or external recruitments. Of the group of 25 promoted staff, 52 percent were female and 32 percent were from minority groups.
With the staffing changes that occurred in 2015, the demographic profile of the agency’s employee group has remained reasonably consistent. At 2015 year end, 55 percent of agency employees were female – compared to 54 percent at the end of 2014, and 47 percent were from minority groups, which was the same as the year before.
Equal Employment Opportunity Program Goals for 2016
The SANDAG goal for the EEO Program is to ensure that minorities and women are represented in each job category in at least the same percentage as the ethnic, racial, and female population of the relevant labor market. The charts below represent 2015 EEO Program results compared to the labor force availability as of January 1, 2016.
For the Officials/Managers job category, the relevant labor market is the United States Labor Force because SANDAG typically conducts nationwide recruitments to fill Executive-level positions.

For all other job categories, the relevant labor market is the San Diego Region Labor Force.

The agency has continued its effort toward meeting its EEO Program goal via gender-neutral and race-neutral means through outreach and advertising. During the past year, SANDAG has, for the most part, maintained the overall level of representation of minority and female employees.
It is anticipated that the number of opportunities to fill staff positions within the next year will be similar to previous years, and when such opportunities are available, SANDAG will continue its efforts to market the availability of positions to minority and female populations through outreach efforts.
2 Conclusion
SANDAG values diversity and recognizes that numerous, different perspectives are important if it is to solve problems and create effective, long-term plans for all residents of the San Diego region. The agency’s sensitivity to minority group members and women transcends the EEO legal requirements. Employment of representatives of every protected group on the SANDAG staff will lend validity and credibility to the communities that SANDAG serves and provide valuable insight into the impacts of policies on all communities in the San Diego region.

2 Section 4.6 of the Policy states that the Executive Director is authorized to provide the final determination to persons or firms filing a protest regarding SANDAG procurement or contracting processes or procedures.
A protest was submitted to SANDAG on November 30, 2015, on behalf of West Coast General Corporation in connection with the Oceanside Transit Center Third Track Project. The protestor objected to the award of the contract to the low bidder on the grounds that they claimed the low bidder was non-responsive in failing to provide a required form within the time limits set forth in the bid documents. The protestor also claimed the low bidder failed to perform bona fide good faith efforts to obtain the required Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation.
In accordance with the bid protest procedures established by SANDAG, a protest committee was convened on December 3, 2015. The protest committee issued its findings and a recommendation to the Chief Deputy Executive Director to reject the bid protest in its entirety. On December 11, 2015, the Chief Deputy Executive Director adopted the findings of the protest committee and rejected the protest.
On December 22, 2015, West Coast General Corporation filed a Request for Reconsideration of Protest Determination with the Executive Director. On January 7, 2016, the Executive Director issued a decision on the Request for Reconsideration, which affirmed the decision of the Chief Deputy Executive Director rejecting the bid protest. On January 13, 2016, West Coast General Corporation filed a notice with the Executive Director indicating that it did not intend to pursue the protest any further.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AGENDA ITEM NO. 16-01-11 JANUARY 22, 2016 ACTION REQUESTED – APPROVE
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION MANAGER/GENERAL File Number 1257001 CONTRACTOR DELIVERY METHOD: INTERSTATE 5/ GILMAN DRIVE BRIDGE
Introduction Recommendation
On June 28, 2013, the Board of Directors approved The Transportation Committee recommends the request for proposals for a Construction the Board of Directors: (1) adopt Resolution Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) to implement No. 2016-10, authorizing the use of the the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project (Mid-Coast). Construction Manager/General Contractor The Board subsequently added construction of construction delivery method for the the Elvira to Morena Double-Track, San Diego River Interstate 5/Gilman Drive Bridge Project Bridge, Interstate 5 Voigt Direct Access Ramp Project (Attachment 5); and (2) authorize the (I-5 Voigt), and Coastal Rail Trail San Diego: Rose Executive Director to negotiate and award a Creek Project to the CM/GC work. The Preconstruction Service Contract for this implementation of these projects under one CM/GC project to Mid-Coast Transit Constructors. will provide a substantial benefit by having a single contractor responsible for staging and coordinating work within overlapping construction zones and timeframes.
At its January 15, 2016, meeting, the Transportation Committee recommended adding the Gilman Drive Bridge Project to the scope of the CM/GC pre-construction services contract (CM/GC contract) with Mid-Coast Transit Constructors, a joint venture of Stacy and Witbeck, Inc., Herzog Contracting Corp., and Skanska USA. Staff analysis indicates that access and timing for construction of the Gilman Drive Bridge significantly overlaps in time and work area with the Mid-Coast and I-5 Voigt projects. Adding the Gilman Drive Project to the CM/GC contract would shift the responsibility of efficiently scheduling this work to the contractor, resulting in the potential for additional cost savings due to new construction efficiencies, improved flexibility to manage future schedule or scope adjustments, and additional cost certainty.
Discussion
Attachment 1 shows the locations of SANDAG, Caltrans, and UC San Diego transportation projects in and around the UC San Diego campus. In March 2015, SANDAG, UC San Diego, Metropolitan Transit System, and Caltrans entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to implement Mid-Coast, I-5 Voigt, and Gilman Drive Bridge projects (Attachment 2). The MOU was the framework to implement these projects quickly and minimize disruption to the campus and region.
In March 2015, the Board of Directors also approved an amendment to the FY 2015 Program Budget to fund the Gilman Drive Bridge Project. The Gilman Drive Bridge provides a second connection over I-5 between UC San Diego west and east campuses, and its accelerated construction would allow the complete demolition of the Voigt Drive Bridge in a single phase, reducing the overall cost of the I-5 Voigt Project.
At the time the interagency MOU was approved, it was assumed that UC San Diego would design and Caltrans would bid and build the Gilman Drive Bridge. Caltrans and UC San Diego have been working with the Mid-Coast team on staging and construction area control plans for all of the projects. Caltrans and UC San Diego now are requesting that the Gilman Drive Bridge be added to the scope of SANDAG’s existing CM/GC contract (Attachments 3 and 4).
Corridor Status
The Mid-Coast Corridor and I-5 North Corridor border each other at UC San Diego. In this area, SANDAG, Caltrans, and UC San Diego have a number of active and pending projects, as shown in Attachment 1. The I-5/Genesee Avenue Bridge and ramps currently are being reconstructed by Caltrans; the Mid-Coast Trolley is in final design, with Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) negotiations beginning in early 2016 and construction starting in the second half of 2016; the I-5 Voigt Drive Bridge and roadway realignment is in final design and will be given to the CM/GC for a cost proposal in early 2016; and the Gilman Drive Bridge design is complete, with a constructability review pending. Building the Mid-Coast Trolley, I-5 Voigt, and Gilman Drive Bridge projects with a single contractor would provide timely inter-project coordination and efficiency by fully integrating construction and staging, administration, while avoiding potential delays and claims with multiple contractors.
Alson o the Mid-Coast Corridor, SANDAG is negotiating the GMP for the San Diego River Bridge Project, with construction starting in 2016 and the cost proposal and negotiations for the Elvira to Morena Double-Track Project starting this spring. The Federal Transit Administration New Starts report for Mid-Coast was submitted in September 2015, and a Full Funding Grant Agreement is anticipated in mid-2016.
Procurement Recommendation Gilman Bridge
Pursuant to Senate Bill 1549 (Vargas, 2012), and in accordance with Public Contract Code sections 6950 through 6958, SANDAG has the authority to implement transit projects within its jurisdiction using the CM/GC delivery method when a written finding is made by the Board of Directors that use of the CM/GC delivery method will accomplish one or more of the following objectives: (1) reduce project costs; (2) expedite the project’s completion; or (3) provide features not achievable through the design-bid-build (DBB) method.
Gilman Drive Bridge was intended to be constructed before I-5 Voigt as both a cost reduction and traffic mitigation measure for the impacts of I-5 Voigt construction. Construction of the Gilman Drive Bridge was to occur through a traditional DBB process. As the design and construction staging of both the Gilman Drive Bridge and Mid-Coast Trolley projects have evolved, it has become apparent that the construction schedules of these projects will overlap at least 12 months beginning in late 2016. If Gilman Drive Bridge continued as an independent construction contract, this overlap would result in access conflicts, with the potential for higher project costs, schedule delays, and
2
increased risk of construction claims. A number of potential alternatives to address these impacts have been studied; including some that would require delaying construction of either the Gilman Drive Bridge and I-5 Voigt or the Trolley improvements in this area. Although these alternatives would reduce the risk of construction claims, they also would introduce new construction inefficiencies and increase the duration of construction within UC San Diego and on I-5.
Adding the Gilman Drive Bridge to the CM/GC contract would address the concerns with coordinating multiple contractors within a confined work zone as well as:
• Reduce the risk of changes and claims through early contractor involvement and guidance during the pre-construction constructability analysis phase of the CM/GC process
• Improve and consolidate coordination of freeway traffic control between Gilman Drive Bridge, Mid-Coast, and I-5 Voigt reconstruction
• Provide for cost savings due to construction efficiencies through improved contractor access and the development of joint staging plans and laydown areas
• Improve cost and schedule certainty with early negotiation of price and, if needed, cost reductions prior to start of construction
• Expedite project completion by allowing the Gilman Drive Bridge and the Trolley viaduct at Gilman to be constructed concurrently
The CM/GC best value selection process resulted in selection of a contractor with demonstrated experience implementing large, complex transit construction projects. This proven experience should result in lower costs, expedited construction, and fewer change orders for construction of the Gilman Drive Bridge in parallel with the construction of the Mid-Coast Trolley and I-5 Voigt projects. Evaluating experience and the contractor’s ability to implement a project during the design phase and prior to advertising is a feature not available with the DBB contracting method.
While CM/GC projects are a best-value procurement, contracting with the existing CM/GC in this case would be a sole-source procurement. Under SANDAG Board Policy No. 024: Procurement and Contracting – Construction, sole-source procurements are allowed under limited circumstances, including when the work should be carried out by a particular contractor in the interest of economy or efficiency, as well as when it is determined that full and open competition in connection with a particular procurement is not in the public interest. In the present case, award of Gilman Drive Bridge to the current CM/GC contractor would avoid substantial duplication of costs that are not expected to be recovered through competition, and avoids a real risk of project delays and extended disruptions that are expected if these projects were awarded to different contractors.
For the reasons listed herein, Caltrans and UC San Diego have both recommended and requested that the Board of Directors consider amending the CM/GC contract to include the Gilman Drive Bridge Project. The Transportation Committee recommends the Board of Directors approve Resolution No. 2016-10, making the findings required to implement Gilman Drive Bridge as part of the CM/GC contract (Attachment 5).
3
Next Steps
Pending Board of Directors adoption of Resolution No. 2016-10, the following activities would occur:
1. SANDAG, in collaboration with Caltrans and UC San Diego staff, would negotiate a Pre- Construction Service Agreement for the Gilman Drive Bridge to perform constructability reviews, develop staging and construction schedules, and contract implementation plans.
2. SANDAG would develop and execute a Project Implementation Order with Caltrans to have Caltrans administer the pre-construction and construction services for the Gilman Drive Bridge work. Caltrans would manage construction of the CM/GC project, employing resident engineers and inspectors to monitor the CM/GC performance, developing pay estimates, and evaluating and resolving potential change orders.
3. SANDAG staff, in collaboration with UC San Diego and Caltrans staff, would initiate negotiation of a GMP for the construction phase of the contract. The Board of Directors currently is scheduled to consider award of the construction phase of the contract in mid-2016. To ensure a fair and accurate construction cost, SANDAG, UC San Diego, and Caltrans will jointly develop an independent cost estimate prior to negotiating the GMP. If a GMP cannot be negotiated, SANDAG will own all work product developed during the pre-construction phase of the project and shall have the right to conduct a separate procurement for the construction phase of the project, or have Caltrans or UC San Diego separately procure construction.

Gary L. Gallegos Executive Director San Diego Association of Governments 401 B Street, Suite 800 San Diego, CA 92101
Dear Gary:
I hope this letter finds you and your family in good cheer and holiday spirit! Another year has come and gone - where does the time go? I want to thank you and your staff for the collaborations and positive achievements during 2015. We look forward to many more years of great advances.
As a follow up to the Leadership Coordination meeting on October 31, 2015, I thought it important to review my understanding of items agreed to.
This letter regards the proposed assignment of the Gilman Bridge project to the Mid-Coast Corridor Project construction management team for various reasons as discussed at our agency wide coordination meeting (among SANDAG, Caltrans, MTS and UCSD), and as presented by Director Laurie Berman, on behalf of Caltrans District 11, in her letter to you dated November 24, 2015. UC San Diego is in agreement that Mid-Coast Transit Contractors be assigned the construction management of the Gilman Bridge through an early work package.
On October 31, I appreciated hearing of the efforts being pursued by all parties to meet the intent of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU dated March 25, 2015); that is, to successfully develop a unique collaboration to plan, design, construct and implement multiple and interrelated transportation improvements, in a concentrated area and timeframe, on and adjacent to the UC San Diego campus. These projects run parallel in time to major building and infrastructure projects at the VA Hospital, Scripps Memorial Hospital, UC San Diego, and projects in the broader community of La Jolla and University City. All of these projects - going forward during the next five years - will have a lasting, transformative effect and positive impact on the lives of our local and regional communities. These enhancements will further not only the economic interest of the community but will advance the University's impact felt across the state, nation and world with respect to academics, research, and healthcare. We will also feel significant burden during construction, and we are encouraged that our collaborative efforts will lessen the negative impacts during this phase.
16 Gary Gallegos Page2 December 9, 2015
The Gilman Bridge is designed and nearing completion of required approvals and agreements to initiate construction. As you know, this new corridor, connecting our major academic and research facilities on our West Campus to our hospitals, clinics, and research facilities on the East Campus, will complete our internal loop road and connect our students and promote pedestrian, bicycle and shuttle operations within campus boundaries helping to reduce surface street traffic and reduce our overall carbon footprint through transportation demand programs and improved access. Important for all, the timely completion of the Gilman Bridge allows a more effective construction of the Light Rail and the complete replacement and transformation of Voigt Bridge into a Direct Access Ramp system supporting multi-occupant vehicles. A key understanding in UC San Diego's support of this implementation strategy is SANDAG's assurance that UC San Diego be at the table for any negotiations regarding cost, timing, and manner of construction of the Gilman Bridge. We are relying on your commitment that the bridge will be an early construction activity and will not be delayed.
As I heard during the Leadership discussion and subsequent dialogue with my staff, a key objective for success is limiting the number of contractors and construction teams in the area of the Gilman Bridge construction site over the next two years. Therefore, I lend support for: what we discussed on October 31; additional dialogue and discussions at a half day meeting hosted by our campus on November 21 to further collaboration and coordination agency-wide; and the summary of all these efforts as expressed by Director Berman in her letter of November 24.
We appreciate the opportunity to be involved with these critically important projects. We look forward to continued collaboration with our regional agency partners.

Dear Mr. Gallegos:
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) have been working closely with University of California – San Diego (University) to coordinate the development of several regional projects in the City of San Diego’s Golden Triangle area. To that end, on May 24, 2015 SANDAG, Caltrans, the University, and the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) entered into a four party Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to manage these projects in a collaborative manner. The objective of this collaborative process is to minimize construction impacts to motorists, the University and the local community. The MOU includes the following projects:
1) Gilman Drive Overcrossing (Gilman Drive OC) 2) Mid Coast Light Rail Trolley (Mid Coast LRT) 3) Genesee Intersection 4) Voigt Drive
As the Gilman Drive OC and the Mid Coast LRT Projects have evolved, it has become apparent that the construction staging of the two projects will overlap beginning in the summer of 2016. This overlap could result in higher project costs, schedule delays, and right of way claims. Caltrans has collaborated with the University and SANDAG to explore a number of potential alternatives to address this overlap. Based on this investigation, Caltrans believes consideration should be given to amending the Mid Coast LRT Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) contract with Mid-Coast Transit Constructors to include the Gilman Drive OC as an early work package.
In addition to addressing the constructability concern, adding the Gilman Drive OC to the CMGC contract would shift the responsibility of efficiently scheduling this work to the contractor resulting in:
• Improved coordination of freeway traffic control
“Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system to enhance California’s economy and livability” 18 Mr. Gary Gallegos November 18, 2015 Page 2
• Potential for additional cost savings due to new construction efficiencies • Improved flexibility to manage future schedule or scope adjustments • Improved cost certainty
As planned, the Gilman Drive OC will have complete plans, specifications, and agreements by January 2016. If it is determined that the Gilman Drive OC should not be added into the existing Mid Coast LRT CMGC contract, Caltrans will continue with the “Design, Bid, Build” process and begin the contractor procurement process in January 2016.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Allan Kosup, Corridor Director SR-76/I-5 North Coast Corridor, at (619) 688-3611 or by e-mail
Sincerely,
LAURIE BERMAN District Director

FINDINGS FOR UTILIZING CONSTRUCTION MANAGER/GENERAL CONTRACTOR PROCUREMENT METHOD
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1549 (Vargas, 2012) (SB 1549), set forth as Chapter 6.6 (commencing with Section 6950) of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code, grants the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) the authority to utilize alternative project delivery methods, such as the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) project delivery method, for the construction of public transit projects within SANDAG’s jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, SB 1549 requires that in order for SANDAG to use the CM/GC project delivery method, SANDAG must first compare the proposed CM/GC project delivery method to the traditional design-bid-build (DBB) method in a public meeting and adopt written findings that demonstrate the use of the CM/GC project delivery method on the specific project under consideration will accomplish at least one of the following objectives: (1) reduce comparable project costs; (2) expedite a project's completion; or (3) provide features not achievable through the traditional DBB method; and
WHEREAS, in an “Alternative Project Delivery Report” prepared by SANDAG and which analyzed the use of potential project delivery methods for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project (Project) such as DBB, design-build and CM/GC, the CM/GC project delivery method was determined to be the preferred project delivery method for completion of the Project; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has evaluated in a public meeting on January 22, 2016, utilization of the DBB and the CM/GC project delivery methods as applied to the Interstate 5/Gilman Drive Bridge Project, including consideration of the impact of such project delivery methods on cost, schedule, and project constructability; and
WHEREAS, the CM/GC project delivery method is projected to improve the cost certainty for the Project by allowing for the negotiation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price for the construction phase of the Interstate 5/Gilman Drive Bridge Project; and
WHEREAS, the CM/GC project delivery method uniquely allows the early coordination of the Project team and multiple stakeholders, thus assisting in the early identification, understanding and resolution of potential Project issues which will contribute toward the successful completion of the Project on schedule and within the project budget;
WHEREAS, the CM/GC project delivery method also allows pre-construction services to begin before total design is completed instead of requiring the design for the entire project to be completed before construction can begin, as would be the case under the DBB project delivery method, thus expediting overall Project delivery; and
20
WHEREAS, staff is seeking authority from the Board of Directors to move forward with the utilization of the CM/GC project delivery method;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors as follows:
1. That the Board of Directors does hereby find the use of the CM/GC project delivery method on the Interstate 5/Gilman Drive Bridge Project is expected to reduce Project costs as compared to the DBB project delivery method; and
2. That the Board of Directors does hereby find that use of the CM/GC project delivery method on the Interstate 5/Gilman Drive Bridge Project is expected to expedite the Project’s completion as compared to the DBB project delivery method; and
3. That the Board of Directors does hereby find that use of the CM/GC project delivery method on the Project is expected to provide Project features not achievable through the DBB project delivery method; and
4. That the Board of Directors does hereby find that utilization of the CM/GC project delivery method on the Interstate 5/Gilman Drive Bridge Project is in SANDAG’s best interests; and
5. That the Board of Directors does hereby approve utilization of the CM/GC project-delivery method on the Project consistent with the allowances and mandates of Public Contract Code section 6950 et seq; and
6. That the Board of Directors hereby directs staff to prepare a progress report upon completion of the Project to be presented to the Board of Directors in accordance with Public Contract Code section 6957(a); and
7. That the Board of Directors does hereby find that this Resolution shall be effective as of the date of its adoption.

Those appraisals resulted in offer letters being sent to the property owners pursuant to Board Policy 021: Acquisition of Real Property Interests & Relocation Assistance, and Government Code section 7267.2, along with a summary of information from the appraisals (Attachment 2).
SANDAG has negotiated with the property owners, including meeting with the property owners; however, to date a final agreement for purchase of these subject property interests by way of negotiated agreement has not been reached. Notwithstanding action by the Board of Directors with respect to the proposed Resolution of Necessity, SANDAG will continue to pursue discussions with the property owners in an attempt to reach mutually agreeable terms for the negotiated transfers.
Description of the Projects
A. Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project
Concurrent with SDRDT, SANDAG also has designed the Mid-Coast Project, an 11-mile extension of the San Diego Trolley. The Mid-Coast Project will extend the Blue Line Trolley service from the Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego north to the University City community, serving major activity centers such as Old Town, UC San Diego, and Westfield UTC. The project will be partially funded by the regional TransNet half-cent sales tax program administered by SANDAG. SANDAG is seeking a match through the Federal Transit Administration.
The Mid-Coast extension begins north of the Old Town Transit Center and travels in existing railroad right-of-way and alongside Interstate 5 to serve UC San Diego and the University City community. The extension will serve nine new stations: Tecolote Road, Clairemont Drive, Balboa Avenue, Nobel Drive, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Pepper Canyon, Voigt Drive, Executive Drive, and the terminus station at the Westfield UTC Transit Center.
Mid-Coast will provide an effective alternative to congested freeways and roadways for travelers, improve public transit services, and enhance travel options by connecting the corridor with areas served by the existing Trolley system. Additional information about the project can be found at the following website: www.sandag.org/midcoast.
B. San Diego River Double-Track Project
SDRDT will add a second main track between Control Point (CP) Tecolote (where Tecolote Road crosses the rail corridor) and CP Friar (north of the Old Town Transit Center). The new 0.9-mile track will connect to existing double track at each end, resulting in a continuous 7-mile double-track segment for the southernmost portion of the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail (LOSSAN) Corridor from CP Morena to the Santa Fe Depot. SDRDT includes a double-tracking across the San Diego River, with a new double-track bridge, construction of associated site improvements, and signal modifications.
SDRDT is located in the City of San Diego within the right-of-way owned by Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) on tracks managed and operated by North County Transit District (NCTD). SDRDT will provide a number of benefits, including improved operational reliability and increased operational flexibility. By adding a second track, SDRDT will eliminate the need for trains to sit idle at a siding while another train passes, thereby increasing schedule reliability and reducing the effects of cascading delays. The increased capacity provided with the double track also will provide both train dispatchers and operations planners with additional train routing options, providing a greater ability to meet changing operational requirements on a day-to-day basis. Additional information about SDRDT can be found at the following link: www.sandag.org/uploads/publicationid/publicationid_1881_18115.pdf.
C. Elvira to Morena Double-Track Project
EMDT will add a 2.6-mile second main track from State Route 52 to just south of Balboa Avenue. This new track will connect to existing double track, resulting in 10.3 miles of continuous double track between CP Tecolote and CP Cumbres at Miramar Road. The existing railroad track also will be realigned to straighten several curves in the north end of the project.
EMDT also includes new crossovers near Regents Road (CP Rose) in the railroad right-of-way, upgrading and building bridges at five locations to accommodate double-track operations, signal improvements, and ancillary utility and drainage improvements along this segment of the corridor.
EMDT is located in the City of San Diego within the right-of-way owned by MTS on tracks managed and operated by NCTD. Additional information can be found at the following link: www.sandag.org/uploads/publicationid/publicationid_1845_17414.pdf.

Discussion
California eminent domain law (Code Civil Procedure, § 1245.210 et seq.) provides that a public entity may not commence an eminent domain proceeding on a property until its governing body has adopted a Resolution of Necessity. In order to adopt a Resolution of Necessity, the Board of Directors must find all of the following to be true as to each property interest sought:
• That the public interest and necessity require the project;
• That the project is planned or located in a manner that will be the most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury;
• That the interest in the property is necessary for the project; and
• That an offer of just compensation has been made to the property owner.
The Board of Directors also must allow each affected property owner, or its representative, a reasonable opportunity to be heard as to each of the required findings.
A. Findings
The Public Interest and Necessity Require the Projects
3 Mid-Coast will expand light-rail transit service from the Santa Fe Depot to the UTC Westfield shopping center. This extension of light-rail transit service will connect an important employment center in the University City community to the MTS Trolley network, with the effect of reducing vehicular traffic and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SDRDT and EMDT are improvements to provide additional double-track to the 351-mile LOSSAN Corridor, which serves as a vital link for passenger and freight movement both within the San Diego region and north of the region. These double-tracking improvements will provide additional passenger and freight capacity as well as will improve schedule reliability.
The Projects are Planned or Located in the Manner that will be Most Compatible with the Greatest Public Good and the Least Private Injury
The Projects have been designed to minimize property impacts. The project teams have worked diligently to minimize the need for any permanent property acquisitions. The alignments of the Projects are controlled by the existing rail alignment and railroad right-of-way and their design has been optimized to maximize the use of existing right-of-way and minimize right-of-way acquisitions.
Storage Equities, Inc.: This property is needed for SDRDT and includes both permanent and temporary non-exclusive easements. The permanent non-exclusive easements are necessary to accommodate storm water drainage improvements and access to the railroad right-of-way for both construction and operations. Temporary construction easements are needed to allow for the construction of storm water drainage improvements as well as retaining walls along the rail corridor.
Anna Avenue Associates, LLC: A temporary construction easement interest in this property is needed for use as construction laydown and access for SDRDT. Continued uninterrupted access will be maintained to the property via Anna Avenue.
Navarra Morena Properties, LLC (Jerome’s Furniture): A permanent fee simple interest in this property is needed for use as parking for the Mid-Coast Tecolote Road Station. A temporary construction easement is needed to facilitate construction of the Tecolote Road Station. While this acquisition will reduce the available parking spaces for Jerome’s Furniture, considerable efforts have been made in the design of Mid-Coast to minimize the loss of existing parking and preserve parking spaces nearest to the entrance to Jerome’s Furniture. The remaining parking at Jerome’s Furniture meets existing City of San Diego parking requirements.
Gateway Center LLP (A-1 Self Storage): A permanent fee simple interest in this property is needed to construct the Mid-Coast Tecolote Road Station. Temporary construction easements are needed to construct the Mid-Coast Tecolote Road Station and rail improvements. This acquisition will reduce the number of parking spaces available to A-1 Self Storage. Considerable efforts have been made in the design of Mid-Coast to minimize the loss of existing parking and preserve parking spaces nearest to the entrance to A-1 Self Storage. The remaining parking at A-1 Self Storage meets existing City of San Diego parking requirements.
Dan Floit (Armstrong Garden Centers, Inc.): A permanent fee simple interest in this property is needed to construct the Mid-Coast Tecolote Road Station. Armstrong Garden Centers, Inc. (Armstrong) currently is leasing this property from Floit. The relocation of Armstrong will be necessary. Negotiations with Armstrong on this relocation are under way.
4 SA Marina, LLC: This property is directly adjacent to the Mid-Coast Clairemont Drive Station and the full property is needed in fee simple to provide parking for the station.
The Interests in the Properties are Necessary for the Projects
An extensive analysis of design alternatives for each of the Projects was completed before arriving at the current design footprints. Staff has evaluated these designs with regard to their compliance with environmental requirements and constructability in order to ensure the necessity of these parcels for the construction and operation of the Projects.
Offers of Just Compensation Have Been Made to the Property Owners
Appraisals were prepared for each proposed acquisition pursuant to Board Policy No. 21 and applicable law. Offers of just compensation were made to all owners for the fully-appraised value of the needed property. Negotiations have been ongoing with the property owners since the initial offers were made (Attachment 2).
Adoption of the proposed Resolution of Necessity requires a two-thirds vote of all SANDAG Board members. As discussed above, SANDAG staff has determined that the Projects will benefit the public interest; the Projects have been planned or located in a manner that will be the most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury; the subject properties are necessary for the Projects; and the offers of just compensation have been made to the property owners.
B. Notice
The property owners, and/or their representatives, have a right to appear and be heard on the matters encompassed within the Resolution of Necessity affecting their property. As required by eminent domain law, the owners of the subject properties were given notice of the Board of Directors’ consideration of the Resolution of Necessity, and notified of their opportunity to appear and be heard on whether SANDAG has undertaken all required steps and met all procedural prerequisites to the exercise of eminent domain to acquire the property interests proposed to be taken (Attachment 3).
Next Steps
Should the Board of Directors approve the Resolution of Necessity, the Office of General Counsel will work with outside counsel to prepare and file motions for prejudgment possession. SANDAG staff will continue to work with the property owners to negotiate and finalize agreements concerning the proposed property acquisitions.

2015 TransNet PLAN OF FINANCE UPDATE File Number 1500100
Introduction Recommendation
The TransNet Plan of Finance is updated on an The Transportation Committee recommends annual basis, or more frequently as circumstances that the Board of Directors: (1) approve the arise. The Board of Directors approved the most 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance update; and recent update in December 2014. The 2014 update (2) approve an amendment (Attachment 4) continued to sustain implementation of the Board of to the FY 2016 Program Budget to revise Director’s TransNet Early Action Program (EAP). This funding for the Oceanside Station Pass- report summarizes the proposed 2015 TransNet Plan Through Track (Capital Improvement Project of Finance, which continues to meet the cash flow No. 1239803). The Board of Directors also is needs of the TransNet EAP and keeps the program asked to authorize the Executive Director to on schedule. The major revenue, cost, and project execute a contract award for the Oceanside budget and cash flow assumptions used in the 2015 Station Pass-Through Track (Attachment 5). update are summarized in this report.
This item was presented to the TransNet Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC) on January 13, 2016, and to the Transportation Committee on December 11, 2015, and January 15, 2016. Both the ITOC and Transportation Committee recommended Board of Directors’ approval of the 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance update.
Discussion
TransNet Early Action Program
The current TransNet EAP (Attachment 1) includes mobility improvements in major corridors across the San Diego region, including the two remaining “lockbox” projects from the original TransNet measure – the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit (Mid-Coast) Project and the State Route 76 (SR 76) Project. The Mid-Coast Project is on schedule to receive a federal Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) in mid-2016, and initial construction to relocate water and sewer lines has begun. Construction on the final phase of the SR 76 Project (East Segment) began last year and is anticipated to take about three years, finishing around fall 2017.
The EAP also makes considerable investments in public transportation. In addition to the Mid-Coast Project, the Capital Program expands high-quality express transit services. In July 2015, construction began on the region’s first ever freeway-level transit stations that will connect the Mid-City area to Downtown San Diego and the Interstate 15 (I-15) Corridor. The Trolley Renewal Project wrapped up
final renovations in summer 2015, adding new, low-floor Trolleys, track, and station platforms and improving amenities and travel time. In May 2015, newly finished segments of the San Diego County portion of the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor (LOSSAN Corridor), including Sorrento Valley, opened additional double track. Several other double-tracking projects are under way to facilitate improved COASTER, intercity, and freight rail services, including two projects that are being coordinated in conjunction with construction of the Mid-Coast Project – the Elvira to Morena Double-Track Project and the San Diego River Bridge Project.
SANDAG long-range plans also include the development of Express Lanes to provide faster travel times for transit, carpools, vanpools, and FasTrak® solo drivers on the I-15, Interstate 5 (I-5), and Interstate 805 (I-805) corridors. In June 2015, a new southbound carpool lane opened a year ahead of schedule on I-805 from La Jolla Village Drive to State Route 52. In February 2015, construction began on the I-5/Genesee Avenue Interchange to replace the existing overpass to accommodate current and future travel demands as an integral piece of the broader improvements planned along the North Coast Corridor (NCC), including improvements to I-5, new bike connections, rail infrastructure, and environmental enhancements. Several projects in the NCC are under development, many of which are slated to begin construction in 2016.
In addition, the Regional Bike EAP invests in the completion of a bike network for projects such as the Bayshore Bikeway, Inland Rail Trail, Coastal Rail Trail, and San Diego River Trail, and identifies additional high-priority bike projects to connect activity centers in the most urbanized areas of the region. In April 2015, the first phase of the Bayshore Bikeway Segment 4, along Harbor Drive from Vesta Street to 32nd Street was completed. The Plaza Bonita segment of the Sweetwater Bikeway Project also was completed in spring 2015. Additional improvements also continue with construction on the San Marcos to Vista segment of the Inland Rail Trail that began in November 2015, and construction on the State Route 15 (SR 15) Commuter Bike Facility Project is anticipated to begin in early 2016.
2015 TransNet Plan of Finance Update
The proposed 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance update maintains the course to deliver the EAP. The revenue and construction cost assumptions are summarized below. Further details about the major assumptions used for the 2015 update are provided in Attachment 2. Updated project cost assumptions and the funded-through phase for TransNet EAP projects are detailed in Attachment 3.
Revenue Assumptions
The 2015 update includes federal program funds consistent with the federal transportation authorization, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, and state program funds included in the 2016 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Fund Estimate adopted by the California Transportation Commission in August 2015. The next annual plan of finance update will reflect federal provisions included in the recently enacted Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act). The 2016 STIP Fund Estimate significantly reduced available funds, and the 2015 update reflects this reduction in the STIP share for state funds. For the TransNet Program, there is a slight increase in the overall revenues compared to the sales tax revenue assumptions included in the 2014 update mainly due to revised estimated growth over the short-term, as approved by the Board of Directors in February 2015 and as discussed in Attachment 2.
2 Construction Cost Assumptions
Construction costs have continued to remain stable, and the bidding environment has remained competitive. During the most recent four-year period (2011-2015), the number of bidders on construction contracts has ranged between four to seven bidders per job, compared to three to four bidders per job during 2005-2007, when the rate of increase of construction costs was at its highest. During the economic recession (2007–2010) when costs were at their lowest, the average number of bidders per job averaged eight to ten bidders. The construction industry continues to recover and is indicating normal price escalation moving forward. The cost escalation assumptions used in the 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance (described further in Attachment 2) reflect these trends.
Updated Project Cost Assumptions
Major Corridor Early Action Program
Attachment 3 summarizes the cost estimates used in the 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance update for current EAP projects and the funded-through phase, including preliminary engineering, environmental, ready-to-advertise, and construction. The proposed 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance update incorporates the most recent project cost assumptions for projects in the EAP, while maintaining projects on their current schedules. The current approved budget for the EAP is $6.5 billion, and the 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance integrates the capacity for an additional $218.5 million for the EAP, bringing the current cost estimate for EAP projects to approximately $6.7 billion. It should be noted that while some projects exhibit variances from the approved budget, only the following budget amendment is proposed at this time:
• Oceanside Station Pass-Through Track (Capital Improvement Project [CIP] No. 1239803) – This is an existing EAP project. The updated cost to complete the construction phase is $25.927 million, which is $2.327 million over the current budget. The construction bid exceeded the engineer’s estimate due to the increased cost of wood railroad ties and additional effort needed for station demolition and salvage of existing track. Higher construction costs result in higher soft costs and construction contingency, which also are addressed by the proposed budget revision.
Discussion on approval of the contract award for the Oceanside Station Pass-Through Track Project noted above is included further below in this report. For all other variances, staff will continue to seek additional sources to address potential shortfalls. Specific budget adjustments will be brought to the Transportation Committee and the Board of Directors for review and approval.
The Metropolitan Transit System has raised the issue of future replacement of vehicles for TransNet Major Corridor services. Vehicle replacement for the new services is considered an eligible capital cost. As with other elements of the TransNet Plan of Finance, matching funds will need to be identified to fund the longer-term vehicle replacements. SANDAG staff will continue working with its transit agency partners to explore additional revenues, including those from the FAST Act and other revenues, as appropriate, for these eligible capital expenses.
As stated above, the 2015 update assumes state program funds consistent with the 2016 STIP Fund Estimate, which reduced available funding. As reported at the November 20, 2015, Board of Directors meeting, the California Transportation Commission has encouraged existing projects programmed with STIP dollars, such as the I-5 NCC, to be moved to the outer years of the STIP due
3 to the absence of funding capacity. While the Plan of Finance shows that the 2015 update could accommodate the current cost estimates for EAP projects as shown in Attachment 3, the Plan of Finance also can accommodate the possibility of having to advance up to $135.4 million ($99.4 million in FY 2016 and $36 million in FY 2017) in TransNet or other funds in lieu of STIP funds to keep the I-5 NCC on schedule until the STIP outcome is better known, while continuing to seek other state or federal funding, to keep other EAP projects on track.
Regional Bikeway Program
Three projects are proposed to advance to the construction phase of work, including the Coastal Rail Trail San Diego: Rose Creek (CIP No. 1223016), Bike Facilities: La Mesa to North Park (CIP No. 1223020), and Bike Facilities: Old Town to San Diego (CIP No. 1223022) projects. The San Diego River Trail: Carlton Oaks Segment (CIP No. 1223053) will move into the right-of-way phase beginning in FY 2017, and the SR 15 Bike Path: Adams Avenue to Landis Street (CIP No. 1223054) and Southeast to Downtown Bikeway (CIP No. 1223058) projects will begin design in FY 2017. It should be noted that regional funds identified for the Regional Bikeway Program are available from sources dedicated to bicycle and pedestrian projects, including the TransNet Bike, Pedestrian, and Neighborhood Safety Program funds and Transportation Development Act funds.
In addition, two projects were successful in receiving statewide and regional Active Transportation Program grant funding, including the Bayshore Bikeway: Barrio Logan (CIP No. 1223055) and the San Ysidro to Imperial Beach Parkway (CIP No. 1223056) projects. The additional funds are proposed to be added to these projects as part of the FY 2017 annual budget cycle and will be used for the construction phase.
Approval of Contract Award
Pursuant to Board direction, construction and professional services awards associated with an original solicitation valued at $5 million or more require approval by the Board of Directors. In September 2015, SANDAG conducted an invitation for bids for construction of new track on the LOSSAN Rail Corridor in Oceanside. The work would consist of installing new track, demolition and construction of a new platform and plaza, and minor roadway improvements on Wisconsin Avenue.
As required by federal provisions, an engineer’s estimate was prepared by SANDAG prior to the solicitation, resulting in an estimated amount of $14.18 million.
Six bids were received; the lowest bidder was Reyes Construction, Inc. A summary of bids is included as Attachment 5. Staff is recommending approval of a contract award to Reyes Construction, Inc., with a term of 330 working days and a contract amount of $15.24 million. The 7.5 percent difference between the engineer’s estimate and the lowest bid is attributed to the increased cost of wood railroad ties and additional effort needed for station demolition and salvage of existing track. The FY 2016 Program Budget includes funding for this proposed contract in CIP No. 1239803: Oceanside Station Pass-Through Track. The additional funding needed to award this contract will come from TransNet Major Corridor funds.
Capital Planning and Financing Needs
For the past several months, staff has worked with Public Financial Management, Inc. (PFM), the SANDAG financial advisor, to optimize the funding and financing strategy to best deliver the
4 TransNet Capital Program through 2048. In its current form, the 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance demonstrates the financial feasibility to continue meeting TransNet capital needs and to deliver the EAP projects.
The TransNet EAP is the major focus of the Plan of Finance and forms the basis for determining near to medium-term borrowing needs. Generally, projects included in the EAP are candidates for delivery over the next five to seven years, while the TransNet Capital Program extends through 2048 (the life of the TransNet measure). To finance the EAP, SANDAG has issued bonds on four previous occasions. In prior Plan of Finance updates, the Board of Directors also has dedicated a greater share of federal and state matching funds to deliver the TransNet Program.1
While the financial planning model accounts for total costs and revenues for all TransNet programs, the majority of capital costs represent implementation of the Major Corridors Capital Program. The size of the TransNet Capital Program going forward through 2048 for the Major Corridors Program is estimated to be $15.3 billion. An estimated $3 billion of those project costs are scheduled to occur over the next five years, a significant portion of which would be for the advancement of both the Mid-Coast and NCC projects.
The 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance demonstrates that total capital costs may be funded in a way so as to maintain positive fund balances in the Major Corridors Capital Program in every year through FY 2048 and maintain ample debt service coverage. To continue to finance the Major Corridors EAP, the next bond transaction is expected to occur in calendar year 2016. The purchasing power of the TransNet Program continues to remain stable under current economic and market conditions, and staff recommends that the Board of Directors stay the course with the Major Corridors EAP.
The PFM memorandum (Attachment 6) provides additional detail to the Plan of Finance, summarizes the capital costs estimates, current SANDAG debt portfolio, and estimates the timing of the next anticipated bond financing.
Future Financing Opportunities
The 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance continues to include funding assumptions for two of the most capital-intensive projects in the TransNet EAP – the Mid-Coast and NCC projects, both of which are expected to incur a majority of the estimated capital costs in the near term. As with prior plan of finance updates, leveraging TransNet funds to maximize available funding sources continues to be important in meeting the program’s long-term cash flow needs. Staff continues to refine capital costs, program delivery, revenue, and borrowing assumptions, and to seek out new funding opportunities and evaluate potential financing strategies in conjunction with PFM. Financing
1 These revenue sources include the STIP, Proposition 1B State-Local Partnership Program, Regional Surface Transportation Program, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funding program. Prior American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding also has been dedicated to fund EAP projects. Current Board Policy dedicates 90 percent of federal and state discretionary funds to the TransNet EAP, with the remaining 10 percent allocated to non-EAP projects, such as the Transportation Demand Management and Transportation Systems Management programs that help implement the Sustainable Communities Strategy included in San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan.
5 opportunities continue to include the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Loan Program and securitization of federal grant revenues identified in the anticipated FFGA associated with the Mid-Coast Project, among other cost effective financing tools – each of which would be brought back for consideration by the Board of Directors prior to execution.
SANDAG is continuing the process to secure a TIFIA loan for the Mid-Coast Project. In December 2014, SANDAG submitted a Letter of Interest to the TIFIA office and currently is preparing the application for submittal to the TIFIA office in early 2016. Staff anticipates a request to the Board of Directors to execute a TIFIA loan agreement concurrently with approval of the FFGA, which is anticipated to occur in mid-2016. For SANDAG, a TIFIA loan could provide an opportunity to lower borrowing costs, increase program flexibility, and increase borrowing capacity for other EAP projects under the existing SANDAG senior lien sales tax indenture.
Next Steps
As noted above, specific project budget adjustments will be brought back on a project-by-project basis to the Transportation Committee and the Board of Directors for review and approval, as necessary. In addition, projects proposed for funding per the 2015 TransNet Plan of Finance update will be included for approval as part of the FY 2017 SANDAG Program Budget and for programming purposes as part of a subsequent Regional Transportation Improvement Program amendment.

2015 TransNet Plan of Finance Update Major Assumptions
Projected Sales Tax Revenues
TransNet revenues are derived from taxable retail sales in the region. Taxable retail sales have become increasingly volatile since the 2007 recession. After three years of sales tax revenue declines, SANDAG has experienced five years of revenue growth. Overall, TransNet revenues fell 17.6 percent during FY 2008 – FY 2010 and have since risen 31.7 percent during FY 2011 – FY 2015. At the end of FY 2015, TransNet sales tax revenues were at an all-time high of $268.8 million.
SANDAG uses two distinct forecast methodologies to estimate future sales tax revenue growth. The short-term (or first three years through FY 2018) uses the California State Board of Equalization sales tax revenue allocation formula as well as quarterly factors such as expected job growth, new unemployment claims, and the financial condition of consumers. Beyond FY 2018, the forecast of TransNet revenues is based on the growth in taxable retail sales as projected by the SANDAG Demographic and Economic Forecasting Model, incorporating demographic information important for accurate longer-term forecasts.
The TransNet sales tax growth rates shown in Table 1 are used to forecast future revenue trends and were reported to the Board in February 2015.
Table 1. Plan of Finance – TransNet Revenue Growth Rates Annual Rates of Change, FY 2015 through FY 2048
Revenue FY 2020- FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 Growth Rate FY 2048 2014 POF 4.0% 3.91% 3.92% 3.92% 5.02% 3.2% to 5% 3.35% 2015 POF 5% 4.9% 5.1% 5% 3.2% to 5% (actual)
State and Federal Matching Revenues
The amounts of state and federal funds assumed for the TransNet Early Action Program (EAP) are based on committed funds to date included in the current 2014 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (2014 RTIP) for the period FY 2015 to FY 2019. For future years, SANDAG estimated federal, state, and local transportation funds based on historic experience. The revenue assumptions used in the 2015 Plan of Finance (POF) for future years beyond the 2014 RTIP are consistent with recent revenue forecasts and programs, including the 2016 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Fund Estimate adopted by the California Transportation Commission in August 2015 and recent revenue forecasts provided by the Federal Highway Administration for federal formula funds reflecting the transportation authorization Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century.
On the federal side, both the recently adopted San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan (Regional Plan) and the 2015 POF assume a federal contribution of approximately 50 percent of the cost for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project. SANDAG has been notified by the Federal Transit Administration that the federal contribution would be fixed at $1.04 billion. A maximum
8
$100 million per year appropriation has been assumed for the Mid-Coast Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) funds, in accordance with Federal Transit Administration appropriation limits for FFGA funds.
On the state side, the 2016 STIP Fund Estimate was significantly lower than the 2014 Fund Estimate; the 2015 POF update reflects this significant reduction. Also, funding awarded to specific projects is subject to state bond sales and allocations to the Proposition 1B transportation infrastructure bond Program. Most of the Proposition 1B funds have been allocated by the California Transportation Commission, and the ongoing work paid for by these funds is included in the 2015 POF cash flow analysis. Additionally, the Regional Plan and 2015 POF both assume additional state revenue sources starting in FY 2023, based on historical levels of state transportation funding during the past 20 years.
Current Board Policy directs 90 percent of all discretionary state and federal formula funds1 to support the TransNet EAP, and the remaining 10 percent of these funds for non-EAP projects, such as the Transportation Demand Management and Transportation Systems Management programs that help implement the Sustainable Communities Strategy included the Regional Plan.
Program Costs
For TransNet EAP projects, SANDAG updates the Capital Improvement Program project costs as part of the annual SANDAG Budget. After a period of high rates of growth in construction costs from 2004 to 2007, a steep decline in construction prices occurred in the three-year period between 2008 and 2010. Construction costs then stabilized between 2010 and 2013. In 2014, costs began rising sharply representing an improvement in the construction industry after a four-year lull in activity. Although there was an initial surge in construction prices, according to the Caltrans Construction Index, which monitors costs for the state, the index has declined from its immediate peak indicating signs of price rise moderation. A more moderate uptick in construction costs is anticipated in 2016 and 2017 with a return to historical averages in 2018. A comparison between the rates used in the 2014 POF and with the 2015 POF update is shown below in Table 2:
Table 2. Plan of Finance – Projected TransNet Construction Costs Annual Rates of Change, FY 2016 through FY 2048
Construction FY 2019- FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 Escalation Rate FY 2048 2014 POF 3.30% 3.00% 2.80% 2.80% 2.80%
2015 POF 2.5% 2.5% 2.8% 2.80% 2.8%
1 These revenue sources include the State Transportation Improvement Program, Proposition 1B State-Local Partnership Program, Regional Surface Transportation Program, and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funding program. Prior American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding also has been dedicated to fund EAP projects.

MEMORANDUM
To: SANDAG Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee (ITOC), Transportation Committee, and Board of Directors From: Public Financial Management, Inc.
Re: 2015 Plan of Finance Update
INTRODUCTION Public Financial Management (PFM) has worked with SANDAG staff to prepare the annual update for the TransNet Extension Plan of Finance. For the past several months, PFM and SANDAG staffs have been working to optimize SANDAG’s funding and financing strategy to best deliver the TransNet capital program through 2048. In its current form, the Plan of Finance funds total program costs through 2048 while maintaining a positive cash position and ample debt service coverage in every year. This memorandum provides additional detail behind program capital costs, summary results and the financing strategies used to support project delivery.
CAPITAL COST ESTIMATES AND SUMMARY PROGRAM RESULTS The TransNet Extension financial planning model provides SANDAG a strategic tool to build a comprehensive financing strategy based upon updated project delivery schedules, funding requirements and revenue forecasts. The financial planning model accounts for total costs and revenues for all TransNet Extension capital programs (major corridors, environmental mitigation, local roads, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian). The Major Corridors program is the most capital intensive program and is a primary focus of SANDAG staff and PFM in evaluating financial feasibility. The size of SANDAG’s Capital Improvement Program going forward through FY 2048 for the Major Corridors program is currently estimated at $15.3 billion. Over the next five years, capital costs total approximately $3.1 billion, with the majority of costs supporting the Mid-Coast Project and the I-5 Corridor. Accounting for accelerated expenditures and project delivery, the updated Plan of Finance demonstrates that total capital costs may be fully funded while maintaining positive fund balances in every year through FY 2048. This is true of the Major Corridor’s program as well as the EMP and Bicycle and Pedestrian programs (the other two programs that require debt financing to meet funding needs). Debt service coverage for the total program stays above 2.0x in every year, and in most years well exceeds this level. Debt service coverage over 2.0x, which is the minimum requirement under SANDAG’s legal documents, is considered strong by the rating agencies
14 SANDAG – 2015 Plan of Finance Update November 25, 2015
FINANCING STRATEGIES AND CONSIDERATIONS SANDAG staff is continually working with PFM to evaluate alternative financing strategies that complement and augment traditional sales tax revenue bonds. All strategies that are included in the updated Plan of Finance are consistent with the San Diego RTC’s current Debt Policy (i.e., Policy No. 36). The broad objectives for alternative financing strategies are the following: Identify low costs of borrowing Increase program flexibility Increase borrowing capacity under senior lien sales tax indenture Three alternative financing strategies, in addition to traditional sales tax revenue bonds, are included in the current Plan of Finance. The first is the use of Grant Anticipation Notes (GANs) supported and repaid by federal grant funds anticipated for the Mid-Coast Project. The issuance of approximately $350 million in GANs in 2019 and 2020 accelerates use of the federal grant funds expected to be received post-construction, thereby reducing the need for sales tax revenue bonds by a similar amount, and helping to maintain the strength of the sales tax credit. The GAN financing included in the updated Plan of Finance is a medium-term 8-year note that provides bridge financing for the Mid-Coast Project. Although the Plan of Finance meets the objectives and maintains positive fund balances with the use of GANs as described above, additional cost-effective benefits would be provided by the use of a second strategy, namely the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan program. A TIFIA loan is a direct federal loan for eligible transportation projects that carries the benefit of a comparatively low interest rate, flexible repayment terms, and the ability for the loan recipient to lock in an interest rate without drawing on the loan for several years. A TIFIA loan may be paid on a subordinate basis, after SANDAG’s sales tax revenue bonds, thereby supporting higher bond debt service coverage, higher bond ratings and lower sales tax bond borrowing rates. For example, the use of a TIFIA loan in the current plan of finance increases debt service coverage on SANDAG’s sales tax bonds from 2.00x to 2.35x. A TIFIA loan may be repaid at any time without penalty and carries no premium for being placed on a subordinate lien. The updated Plan of Finance includes a TIFIA loan in the amount of $585 million to be closed in 2016 and drawn in 2021 to help fund the Mid-Coast Project. TIFIA loans are an increasingly common financing tool used by sales tax supported transportation and transit agencies in the US and have been recently used at Los Angeles County MTA, Seattle Sound Transit, Chicago CTA, Riverside CTC and elsewhere. In addition to GANs and the TIFIA loan program, the Plan of Finance also uses Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs) to provide cost effective financing for the Mid-Coast Project. The BAN financing strategy includes three issuances of BANs between 2017 and 2019 totaling approximately $647 million. The BANs are a short-term financing tool with a three to five year maturity that is repaid by proceeds from the TIFIA loan. The BANs create further program flexibility by cost-effectively delaying the initial draw on and repayment of the TIFIA loan. BANs will be issued in anticipation of draws on the TIFIA loan only if the
15 SANDAG – 2015 Plan of Finance Update November 25, 2015
BANs have a lower interest rate compared to the TIFIA loan (which is expected to be set by June 2016). Currently, BANs carry a very attractive rate below 2.0 percent; lower than the current cost of a TIFIA loan of approximately 3.0 percent. These rates are subject to change and the use of BANs will be a decision made based upon market conditions in 2017 through 2019, with each specific issuance brought before SANDAG’s Board for discussion and approval at that time. The Plan of Finance anticipates the next senior lien sales tax bond issuance to occur in FY 2017 in the approximate amount of $245 million. Additionally, SANDAG is expected to draw upon the existing commercial paper program as a short-term, interim financing strategy to fund construction costs that are expected to be reimbursed with federal grant funds from Federal Transit Administration. This is reflected in the current Plan of Finance with a draw upon commercial paper of $100 million in FY 2016, which is repaid in FY 2017 with FTA grant funds. This upcoming draw may require an increase to SANDAG’s commercial paper program in the coming months.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The updated Plan of Finance demonstrates financial feasibility to fund total program costs through 2048 while maintaining a positive fund balance and sufficient debt service coverage in every year. Following detailed discussion with SANDAG staff, it is recommended that the Early Action Program continue on its current schedule. With respect to near-term financing strategies, we recommend formally applying for a federal TIFIA loan in the next two to three months with the goal of closing a federal TIFIA loan in the approximate timeframe of June 2016. Additionally, we recommend preparing for an upcoming sales tax bond issuance in calendar-year 2016 to continue funding project costs. Finally, SANDAG staff should work closely with PFM to determine if additional commercial paper capacity is needed to fund Mid-Coast Project costs ahead of expected FTA grant receipts. Based on the current schedule for Mid-Coast Project costs, SANDAG’s commercial paper program may need to be increased from the current size of $75 million to approximately $150 million to $200 million to provide liquidity for the overall program. Each of the near-term financing recommendations will be brought back to ITOC, the Transportation Committee and the Board for further consideration and approval prior execution. Should you have any questions regarding this memorandum, please do not hesitate to call Peter Shellenberger at 415-982-5544 or email him at [email protected].
16 AGENDA ITEM NO. 16-01-14 BOARD OF DIRECTORS JANUARY 22, 2016 ACTION REQUESTED – APPROVE
2015 TransNet TRANSIT OPERATIONS PLAN OF FINANCE File Number 3320100
Introduction Recommendation
The TransNet Plan of Finance, which includes the The Transportation Committee Major Corridors transit capital projects, is updated on recommends that the Board of Directors an annual basis, or more frequently as circumstances approve the 2015 TransNet Transit arise (Agenda Item No. 13). TransNet also provides Operations Plan of Finance. funding for operations for the rail and Rapid services included in the TransNet Major Corridors Program. Since there are a number of these transit services now in operation, a plan of finance also has been developed to track current and future operational expenses over the life of the TransNet measure. This report provides details on the major revenue, cost, and project budget and cash flow assumptions used.
Discussion
The TransNet Extension Ordinance includes funding to pay for the operations, maintenance, and support of those Major Corridors transit services described in the TransNet Extension Ordinance. This funding is equal to 8.1 percent of the net TransNet revenues collected over the life of the Ordinance, through 2048. A financing model has been built to estimate the costs to operate and maintain these services. This item provides a list of those services currently operating and planned in the model, summarizes the assumptions used to estimate the operating costs and fare revenues for those services, and provides an update on how projected costs match up with projected TransNet revenues.
TransNet-Funded Transit Services
The following is a list of the current transit services that are being supported by TransNet, those committed to in the near future, and services that are planned but not yet in project development. For these services, the implementation dates in San Diego Forward: The Regional Plan are assumed for cost estimating purposes. (See Attachment 1 for a map of these services.)
Existing Services
1. SuperLoop Rapid: Implemented in 2009, Routes 201/202 and 204 provide high-frequency service in the north University City/Golden Triangle area, seven days a week. SuperLoop Rapid connects activity centers including UC San Diego, Westfield UTC, La Jolla Village Square, Costa Verde Shopping Center, and Scripps Memorial Hospital.
2. Mid-City Rapid 215: Implemented in 2014, Rapid 215 is a limited-stop service between San Diego State University and Downtown San Diego via El Cajon and Park Boulevards.
3. Interstate 15 (I-15) Rapid 235: Implemented in 2014, Rapid 235 is an all-day, limited-stop service (15 minute frequency in peak hours and 30 minute frequency off-peak) that runs between the Escondido Transit Center and Downtown San Diego via I-15.
4. I-15 Rapid 237: Implemented in 2014, Rapid 237 is a weekday, extended peak hour service that runs between the Rancho Bernardo Transit Station and UC San Diego via I-15 and Mira Mesa Boulevard.
Committed Services
5. South Bay Rapid: Scheduled to launch between Otay Mesa and Downtown San Diego (via Interstate 805 [I-805]) in 2018, this addition to the region’s Rapid transit system will provide a frequent and reliable transportation alternative for South County travelers. When completed, South Bay Rapid will span a 21-mile route, connecting residents to employment and activity centers in Downtown San Diego and the South Bay.
6. Mid-Coast Trolley: In 2021, Mid-Coast will extend light-rail service from Old Town to the University City community, serving major activity centers such as Old Town, UC San Diego, and Westfield UTC.
Planned Services
7. South Bay Rapid Express: Rapid Express service during weekday peak periods from San Ysidro to Sorrento Mesa using the Managed/High Occupancy Vehicle Lane facilities on I-805/I-15/ State Route 52 (2035 implementation).
8. Blue Line Trolley: Frequencies to be increased to 7.5 minutes during the midday (2035 implementation).
9. COASTER: Frequencies to be increased during the peak travel times to 20 minutes and to 60 minutes during the midday (2020 and 2035 implementation, respectively).
10. SPRINTER: Peak frequencies to 20 minutes and then all day frequencies to every 15 minutes (2020 and 2035 implementation, respectively).
Key Assumptions for Costs and Revenues
The financing model calculates the net costs (total operating and maintenance costs minus fare revenues) for each of the services listed above through the life of the TransNet Extension Ordinance. The model uses year of expenditure dollars by escalating the operations and maintenance costs, fare revenues, and TransNet revenues each year. The cumulative balance of the model is calculated by subtracting the net costs to operate the services from the total projected revenues from the 8.1 percent of the TransNet funding. The assumptions used to estimate the operations costs and fare revenues are discussed below.
Operations Costs: The costs to operate a route are calculated by using the cost to operate the route
2
per hour or per mile and multiplying it by the annual number of hours or miles needed to run the service. Costs for existing services (SuperLoop Rapid, Rapid 215, Rapid 235, and Rapid 237) have been negotiated between SANDAG and Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) and are memorialized in separate Memoranda of Understanding (MOU). Costs for planned services are based on current-year costs to run similar services and then inflated for future years. Projected inflation rates have been developed in coordination with both MTS and North County Transit District (NCTD) based on previous inflation rates from each transit system.
Estimated hours required annually for existing services also are included in each service’s MOU. For planned services, the model estimates the annual hours or miles based upon agreed-upon operational assumptions between SANDAG, MTS, and NCTD.
Maintenance and Support Costs: Normal maintenance and support costs are included in the cost per hour or mile charged by MTS and NCTD. This line item primarily includes, among other items, extra station and right-of-way maintenance, traffic signal priority maintenance, security, utilities, marketing, and administration that are specific to a given service (e.g., maintenance of the Sabre Springs parking structure used by the I-15 Rapid 235 and Rapid 237 services).
Fare Revenues: The amount of fare revenues for each route is calculated by using the average fare by service type multiplied by the number of anticipated passengers riding each year. Average fares for planned services are based on current-year average fares to run similar services and then escalated each year after. Projected escalation rates have been developed in coordination with both MTS and NCTD based on historical fare increase rates from each transit system.
The typical weekday ridership for each route is estimated using the SANDAG Activity Based Model. For existing routes that are planned to receive frequency increases, only the ridership that will be gained from the increase is included in the fare revenues calculations. The ridership from the model is then expanded into an annual number. Once a service begins operations, actual ridership figures will be used to refine future ridership projections.
TransNet Revenues: This line item is the 8.1 percent of the net TransNet revenues projected through 2048. SANDAG staff annually reviews the projections and provides an updated projection for the model using the same annual process that has been used for the Capital Plan of Finance.
Summary
The 2015 Plan of Finance for TransNet Transit Operations includes an assessment of how well projected net costs for operating the services described above match with projected TransNet revenues through the life of the TransNet Extension Ordinance. As shown in Attachment 2, the analysis shows that the difference between net costs and TransNet revenues are less than 5 percent of the projected total of the net costs.
The TransNet Transit Operations Plan of Finance will be updated on an annual basis to review and update as necessary the various cost and revenue assumptions outlined above. Should circumstances change over time that may require service adjustments, options will be developed in coordination with transit operators and brought to the Board of Directors for review and approval.

Next Steps
Updates to the TransNet Transit Operations Plan of Finance will be made annually, or on an as needed basis, as has been the practice for the TransNet Capital Program.

CM/GC Findings CM/GC Requires Specific Findings Prior to Approval 1. CM/GC project delivery method is expected to reduce Project costs as compared to the design‐bid‐build project delivery method through efficiency in design, better coordination of work space and windows, reduced delays, reduced duplication; and/or 2. CM/GC project delivery method on the Projects is expected to expedite the Project’s completion as compared to the design‐bid‐ build project delivery method with early start of construction, coordinated work area access, less duplication of work; and/or 3. CM/GC project delivery method on the Project is expected to provide Project features not achievable through the design‐bid‐ build project delivery method by providing for early contractor input during design when coordination of overlapping work and when resolving potential changes and delays is less costly .
6
3 1/26/2016
Sole Source Using the CM/GC Requires a Sole Source Justification under Board Policy No. 24 1. CM/GC sole source delivery would provide reduced cost and increase efficiency over competitive procurement by reducing contractor interference with the potential for delays and claims with overlapping projects, reduced duplication in project and construction management efforts, and reduced time‐related cost of separate serial contracts. 2. Full and open competition is not in the public interest because the CM/GC sole source delivery would reduce disruption to the public and institutions by providing integrated, side‐by‐side construction of projects by a single responsible contractor over separate serial contracts.

Next Steps
• Negotiate a pre‐construction services contract • Coordinate design and sequencing with the CM/GC, UCSD and the I‐5 Voigt Drive Project • Negotiate guaranteed maximum price contract with UC San Diego concurrence for Board approval
