THROUGH: General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez

FROM: Board Secretary, Elaine Baltao

SUBJECT: Elect Standing Committee Vice Chairperson for 2017

3331 North First Street • San Jose, CA 95134-1927 • Administration 408.321.5555 • Customer Service 408.321.2300

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

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct voting to determine the Committee’s vice chairperson for calendar year 2017.

BACKGROUND:

The VTA Administrative Code has established board standing committees to review items in detail and provide recommendations to the full Board on matters within their respective assigned areas of responsibility. The five board standing committees are: Administration and Finance (A&F); Congestion Management Program and Planning (CMPP); Governance and Audit (G&A); Capital Projects Oversight Committee (CPOC); and Safety, Security, and Transit Planning and Operations (SSTPO).

As part of their duties, the Board chairperson and vice chairperson serve in those same positionsfor the Governance & Audit Committee.

The Administrative Code specifies that the Board chairperson annually nominates for Board approval the members and chairpersons for all standing committees of the Board except for Governance & Audit. The Board approves these appointments at its first meeting of the calendar year. Standing committee chairpersons serve a one-year term of office coinciding with the calendar year.

4

Page 2 of 2

DISCUSSION:

The Board Rules of Procedure Code requires each standing committee except for Governance & Audit to, at its first meeting of the calendar year, elect from its membership a vice chairperson for the year. The vice chairperson performs the duties of the chairperson in the event of the chairperson’s absence or inability to act, and while so acting has all the authority of the chairperson. The vice chairperson position serves a one-year term, which coincides with the calendar year and the committee chairperson’s term. The vice chairperson is eligible for election to successive terms and only members, not alternates, are eligible to serve.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the total authorized committee membership (four Directors for CPOC and three for the other standing committees) is required to elect the vice chairperson. The term of office for the newly elected vice chairperson commences immediately following completion of the voting.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no financial impact.

Board Meeting: February 2, 2017

BOARD MEMORANDUM



FROM: Interim Director - Engr & Transp Infra Dev, Dennis Ratcliffe

SUBJECT: Project Management/Construction Management Software Solution


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

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the General Manager to execute a contract with PMWeb for furnishing a Project Management/Construction Management software solution for a period of five years in an amount up to $1,348,250.

BACKGROUND:

Since 2001, VTA has been using Primavera Contract Manager as the software tool for administering and managing various construction contracts. In 2008, Oracle Corporation acquired Primavera then subsequently, made another acquisition of a company that owned a product that competed with Primavera Contract Manager. Consequently, Oracle Corporation made a decision to discontinue support for Primavera Contract Manager effective on August 2016. Due to the risk involved in continuing use of a software product that is no longer supported by the vendor, VTA decided to procure a replacement software. There are numerous software applications in the market that not only address the capabilities that Primavera Contract Manager has been providing but also improve and simplify VTA processes related to the management of its capital programs.

Along with VTA’s Enterprise Resource Planning software (“SAP”), VTA’s Engineering & Transportation Infrastructure Development Division (ETID) also uses a variety of other software products to organize and present project information on several capital programs and a multitude of capital projects. The software tool that PMWeb will be furnishing will provide a unified solution not only for managing and administering construction contracts but also as a tool for

7

Page 2 of 3

organizing and presenting project information through user-defined reports and electronic dashboards. PMWeb is a cloud-based system that will enable users to access and view data using their web browser within the VTA computer network or remotely through the internet.

Over the past fifteen years, VTA has successfully managed and delivered over a billion dollars in capital improvements including the highly successful 1996 Measure B Program. VTA is currently implementing transportation improvements through three program areas: 1) the 2000 Measure A Transit Improvement Program; 2) a program of highway improvements funded by a combination of state, federal and local revenues; and 3) a transit facilities capital improvement program funded by VTA Transit Fund. The recent passage of a new ½ cent sales tax (2016 Measure B) is expected to generate approximately $6.5 billion in capital funding over the next 30 years. VTA needs a robust and sophisticated software tool to effectively meet the challenge of managing, controlling and reporting on these various capital programs and projects.

The scope of this contract includes activation of software modules and toolbox and purchase of software licenses. It also includes planning, implementation, customization, user training, hosting, technical support and maintenance.

DISCUSSION:

To select a qualified vendor for the Project Management/Construction Management Software Solution, VTA issued a Request for Proposal (RFP S16016) on March 16, 2016. A Pre-Proposal Conference was held on March 30, 2016, to answer any questions and clarify any terms and conditions before final submittals. Seven (7) proposals were received on April 13, 2016 from the following firms:

1. Bentley (EADOC)2. Capital Soft3. CIP Planner4. E-Builder5. Integral Vision6. PMWeb7. Stellar Services

The vendor selection process consisted of a review and evaluation of all written proposals followed by oral interviews of those firms whose proposals ranked highest according to RFP’s evaluation criteria. The evaluation criteria included: qualification of the firm, particularly technical experience in performing work of similar nature with emphasis on specific experience working with transit properties or other public agencies; staffing and other project organization particularly qualification of project staff and key personnel; system functionality, with emphasis on proposer’s demonstrated capability to meet the specified system requirements and functional capabilities; work plan and project understanding; system security particularly proposer’s capability to provide adequate controls to protect and secure VTA data; cost and price.

7

Page 3 of 3

VTA’s selection panel consisted of ETID’s Project Controls Group Manager, VTA’s Silicon Valley Rail Transit (SVRT) Project Controls Manager and subject-matter experts from ETID and VTA’s Technology Department. Based on the evaluation of the submitted written proposals, four firms below were invited to an oral presentation, product demonstration and interview:

1. Bentley (EADOC)2. Capital Soft3. E-Builder4. PMWeb

Through the evaluation and ranking of written proposals, oral presentation, product demonstration and interviews, PMWeb demonstrated strong knowledge, capabilities and expertise that rated highly according to VTA requirements. Their software product also appeared to meet or exceed the functionalities that are critical to VTA’s needs. Furthermore, their price proposal was very competitive, provided excellent value and was among the lowest of proposals received. VTA’s reference check from previous and current clients did not provide any adverse feedback with regards to product implementation and technical support.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Board could elect to not authorize the contract as recommended, and instead direct staff to continue the use of Primavera Contract Manager. However, this is not recommended as continued use of a software that the vendor no longer supports could expose VTA users to incompatibility issues with more recent versions of the computer operating system, internet browsers and plug-ins, and other software applications. The Board could also direct staff to issue a new RFP. However, this is not recommended because it is not believed that a new solicitation would result in additional proposers or better value.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will authorize up to $1,348,250 for five years for furnishing a Project Management/ Construction Management software solution. Appropriation for the Year 1 expenditures on this contract (through January 31, 2018) is included in the FY17 Adopted VTA Transit Fund Capital Budget. Appropriation for the remainder of the contract period will be included in subsequent Biennial Budgets.

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE) PARTICIPATION:

There were no identifiable subcontracting opportunities in this contract and therefore, a DBE goal was not established.

BOARD MEMORANDUM



FROM: Interim Director - Planning & Program Development, Carolyn M. Gonot

SUBJECT: FTA Section 5310 Formula Grant Program


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

Resolution

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution authorizing the General Manager to submit and execute grant applications and agreements, certifications, assurances, and other documents as necessary to receive funding from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) under the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 Formula Grants for the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program.

BACKGROUND:

The FTA Section 5310 Formula Grants for the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program provides a mix of capital and operating grants to private nonprofit corporations and public agencies to provide safe, efficient and coordinated transportation services for seniors and individuals with disabilities for whom public transportation is otherwise unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate. Caltrans is the designated recipient for funds apportioned to the State's large urbanized, small urbanized and rural areas.

Caltrans requires all applicants to submit a resolution approved by their governing body authorizing the submittal of the grant application.

DISCUSSION:

On January 9, 2017, Caltrans released a Call for Projects to social service and public agencies for federal fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017 of the FTA Section 5310 Formula Grant Program.

Page 2 of 2

There are two project categories in the FTA Section 5310 Program - Traditional Capital and Expanded projects. Traditional Capital projects include mobility management, vehicles and other equipment (for example, communications equipment, computer hardware and wheelchair restraints). Expanded projects provide public transportation services that exceed ADA minimum requirements. Expanded projects include improving access to fixed-route service and providing alternatives to public transportation to assist seniors and individuals with disabilities with transportation, including mobility management.

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) has estimated the three-year programming target for Expanded projects for the San Jose Urbanized Area (UZA) at $1,161,948.

VTA is applying for $1,161,948 to support a new fixed route travel training program at the Eastridge Paratransit Facility. The goal of the program is to teach seniors and persons with disabilities the necessary skills to use fixed route service as an option to meet their travel needs. This training will be provided in cooperation with VTA’s social service agency partners and other community agencies in response to requests received from persons with disabilities within VTA’s service area of Santa Clara County.

This memorandum complies with the requirement that grant recipients adopt a Governing Body Resolution authorizing the submittal and execution of grant applications and agreements, certifications, assurances, and other documents as necessary to obtain the federal grant funds.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Board of Directors could elect not to accept the federal grant and fund the proposed project entirely with local money.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the grant application is successful, VTA could receive up to $1,161,948 for the proposed project.

BOARD MEMORANDUM

TO: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority

Administration & Finance Committee


FROM: Director of Government & Public Relations, Jim Lawson

SUBJECT: Contract Award: Four to Six Color Offset Printing Services

3331 North First Street ∙ San Jose, CA 95134-1927 ∙ Administration 408.321.5555 ∙ Customer Service 408.321.2300


ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the General Manager to execute on-call task order contracts with two (2) selected

printing firms, Fong Brothers Printing, Inc. and ImageX, for four to six color printing services to

be utilized on an as-needed basis. Each contract shall be for a period of up to five (5) years, with

an option to extend the contract for an additional two-year term. The total amount for the two

(2) contracts shall not exceed $700,000.00 for a total contract term of five years.

BACKGROUND:

The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) produces required printed materials,

transit and project information, and community relations and promotional materials in four to six

color (full color) offset printing for various VTA departments. These printed publications

communicate information about VTA services and projects to our riders and general public.

Yearly printed examples include the VTA bus & light rail service changes (32,000 pieces) light

rail station posters (1,500 pieces), VTA Transportation Handbook, Eco Pass & Residential Eco

Pass promotional collateral, VTA Bus & Rail folded map (50,000 pieces),shelter map (2,400

pieces), Santa Clara County Bikeways map (30,000 pieces) and VTA bus and light rail cut-outs.

Starting in 2017 we anticipate larger than normal print orders as we look to rebrand VTA. Many

of our existing literature will be revised to include our new logo and new color scheme. With the

addition of BART service and the new service plan, our printing needs will increase at least 50%.

In order to meet the demands for full color printing cost-effectively, a multi-year contract is

proposed.

The task order contract would encompass a group of pre-qualified vendors to fulfill VTA’s four

Young_T

Revised Agenda Item #9

Page 2 of 3

to six color offset printing needs. With this approach, VTA could consistently secure the

services of a qualified for multiple and simultaneous projects.

DISCUSSION:

VTA Procurement, Contracts and Materials Management (PCMM) Department solicited vendors

through the Request for Proposals (RFP) process in September 2016. Proposals were solicited

from multiple firms. All potential vendors were invited and encouraged to attend a pre-proposal

conference held on September 15, 2016. Representatives from three (3) firms attended the pre-

proposal conference.

Two proposals were received and evaluated by a review board consisting of representatives from

Marketing Communications and Transportation Planning. Respondents included:

Fong Brothers Printing, Inc. - Brisbane, CA

ImageX - Pleasanton, CA

The review board evaluated the proposals according to a pre-established set of criteria, including

qualifications of the firm, equipment, staffing, project organization and approach, and cost/price.

The review board is recommending Fong Brothers Printing, Inc. and ImageX for these contracts,

with each vendor receiving the same contract terms. The review board rated these firms to be

overall best candidates based on professional qualification, staffing, project understanding and

approach, and competitive pricing.

It is anticipated that the agreements resulting from this solicitation, if awarded, will be “Task

Order” contracts. These contracts are anticipated to commence on February 15, 2017 and expire

December 31, 2021, with an option for an additional two-year term. The two-year extension (if

applicable) would commence on January 1, 2022 and continue through December 31, 2024.

ALTERNATIVES:

If the Board of Directors should choose not to award these contracts through the RFP process,

then VTA would have to place individual purchase orders for each requirement. This could not

be done in as timely a manner as having on-call service contracts with pre-negotiated

commercial terms. This would likely result in higher cost to VTA. VTA does not have the

internal resources to produce multi-color offset printing.


Based on the limited and specialized nature of the subcontracting opportunities in these

contracts, a DBE goal for these contracts was not established.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will authorize up to $700,000.00 for full color offset printing for a period of five (5)

years with an optional two-year extension. Task orders issued against these contracts will be

charged against the VTA Transit Operating Budget or the appropriate capital project.

Page 3 of 3

Appropriation for expenditures through June 30, 2017 are included in the FY17 Adopted VTA

Transit Fund Operating Budget and individual capital projects where applicable. Appropriation

for the remainder of the contract period will be included in subsequent Biennial Budgets.

BOARD MEMORANDUM



FROM: Interim Director - Engr & Transp Infra Dev, Dennis Ratcliffe

SUBJECT: Construction of the Rail Rehabilitation Phase 6 – Crossovers & Interlockings Contract (C16189F)



ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the General Manager to execute a contract with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, DMZ Transit (Joint Venture), in the amount of $6,891,000 for the construction of the Rail Rehabilitation Phase 6 - Crossovers & Interlockings Contract (C16189F); and an available contract change authority of 25% over the contract amount.

BACKGROUND:

This contract is part of an ongoing capital rail replacement, rehabilitation, and maintenance program to ensure that the light rail track infrastructure remains safe and reliable for continued service. The scope includes track replacement, construction of crossovers, and installation of related equipment at various locations. Priority locations were identified based on assessments and inspections of the condition and needs of the light rail system. The contract includes repairing and replacing defective rail sections in embedded track in downtown San Jose, realigning sections of track on the Guadalupe line, replacing switch machines, and completing signal cutovers at Woz Way and Santa Teresa. Installation of a new crossover at Karina is also included in the contract to provide enhanced light rail service efficiency. VTA staff continues to identify future locations in need of rehabilitation as part of an ongoing condition assessment program over the next several years.

This construction contract is intended to address state of good repair rehabilitation of the VTA rail system. Because of the nature of track degradation from train operations, it is difficult to identify the extent of damage at the time of engineering as much of the track section is below the

10

Page 2 of 3

surface and not visible during field inspections. This results in increased volume of work to address the items discovered during construction. Also, subsequent to engineering, annual inspections and rail testing is performed. This testing often identifies defects that are not discovered during regular track inspections. Due to the restrictive requirements for compliance with track tolerance, timely repair of these track problems is important. For these reasons, it is recommended that this contract be approved with a contract change authority amount of 25%. This is 10% higher than the 15% currently authorized by the VTA Administrative Code.

DISCUSSION:

The Rail Rehabilitation Phase 6 - Crossovers & Interlockings Contract (C16189F) began the prequalification process on October 21, 2016. The contract was advertised on November 14, 2016 to begin the bidding process. Five bids were submitted on December 15, 2016 with the following results:

Company Name Bid Amount

Shimmick Construction $8,714,000Con Quest Contractors $8,328,000Stacy & Witbeck $7,988,888Proven Management $6,977,777DMZ Transit (Joint Venture) $6,891,000

Engineer’s Estimate $5,284,000

The low bid is 30% higher than the Engineer's Estimate, with the average bid 47% over the Engineer's Estimate. The joint venture companies of DMZ Transit have recently performed similar work for VTA, most recently on the Mountain View Double Tracking Phase II project. Review of the bid results indicate the higher bids are due to unanticipated additional costs related to the overhead contact systems and the signaling system. Moreover, the strict work windows in the contract to minimize VTA service disruptions cause inefficiencies which manifested into premium work hours for nights and weekends. VTA staff has performed a bid analysis, including conferences with bidders, and has determined the low bid to be fair and reasonable based on the average bids received.

Construction is scheduled to begin in February 2017, and will be completed in May 2018.

ALTERNATIVES:

There are no practical alternatives to the recommended action. Delaying the award of this contract would increase the risk of operational and maintenance impacts and prolong the continuation of existing slow zones at the locations identified in the contract.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will authorize $6,891,000, plus a $1,722,750 contingency allowance ($8,613,750 in total) for the Rail Rehabilitation Phase 6 – Crossovers & Interlockings Contract (C16189F).

10

Page 3 of 3

Appropriation for this expenditure is included in the FY17 Adopted VTA Transit Fund Capital Budget. This contract is funded with federal grant funds and local VTA Transit matching funds.


Based on identifiable subcontracting opportunities, a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 11.4% was established by the Office of Business Diversity Programs for this contract. Contractor has met the established goal and has committed to 11.6% DBE participation on this contract.

Board Meeting: N/A

BOARD MEMORANDUM



FROM: Chief Financial Officer, Raj Srinath

SUBJECT: Annual Interest Rate Swap Report for Period Ending June 30, 2016


FOR INFORMATION ONLY

BACKGROUND:

VTA's Interest Rate Swap Policy requires an annual Interest Rate Swap report be provided to the Administration & Finance Committee. This Annual Swap Report and Attachment A disclose any changes to the swap agreements, lists any defaults or other concerns, provides for discussion of any planned changes going forward and provides a summary table listing the swaps and relevant information including credit ratings of the counterparties and the current market value of the swaps.

As of June 30, 2016, VTA had seven variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps that were originally entered into in 2005 and 2006 in association with the issuance of variable rate bonds. The 2005 Bonds and 2006 Bonds were subsequently refunded and the swaps are now associated with the 1976 sales tax, 2008 Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds and the 2000 Measure A, 2008 Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds.

The objectives of using the interest rate swaps were to reduce VTA's interest rate exposure on theassociated variable rate bonds and provide a “synthetic fixed interest rate” that would result in a lower all-in financing cost when compared to the comparable fixed interest rates that were available when the swaps were originally entered into in 2005 and 2006. Under the swap agreements VTA makes a payment based on an agreed upon fixed rate and receives a payment calculated as a percentage of a variable rate index.

DISCUSSION:

Credit ratings of the counterparties are lower than when the swaps were entered into, but all continue to be rated as investment grade. Staff is monitoring the counterparty credit ratings and will consider the novation (transfer) of a swap agreement to a more highly rated counterparty for agreements downgraded below the single-A category.

11

Page 2 of 2

Lower credit ratings provide an indication of greater risk for the counterparty to default or enter bankruptcy. An early termination of a swap, such as from the bankruptcy of a counterparty, would result in VTA needing to pay the then-current market value of the swap to the counterparty. VTA is not aware of any imminent or likely early terminations.

CONCLUSION:

VTA’s interest rate swaps are performing properly and providing the anticipated synthetic fixed interest rates.

BOARD MEMORANDUM




SUBJECT: Monthly Investment Report - November 2016



BACKGROUND:

The investment activities of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority are in compliance with the Investment of Non-Trust Held Funds Investment Policy, the VTA Retirees’ Other Post-Employment Benefits Trust Investment Policy and the ATU, Local 265 Pension Plan’s Investment Policy.

DISCUSSION:

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.2% in the third quarter of 2016 according to the “second” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The expansion was the result of positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures and a downgrade in inventory growth. These were partly offset by a decrease in residential fixed investment. In the second quarter of 2016, real GDP increased at an annual rate of 1.4%.

Headline consumer prices, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI), rose 1.7% year over year as of November 2016. Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices increased at a rate of 2.1% year over year as of November 2016. The Federal Reserve continues to target an inflation rate of 2.00%.

The unemployment rate in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA was 3.6% in November 2016, up from a revised 3.8% in October 2016, and below the year-ago estimate of 4.1%. This compares with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 5.0% for California and 4.4% for the nation during the same period.

13

Market Watch

The S&P 500 Index returned 3.70% in November 2016 and 9.81% calendar year to date. Large cap stocks returned 3.94% and small cap stocks returned 11.14%. Within the large cap space, growth stocks underperformed value stocks, returning 2.18% and 5.71%, respectively. The top-performing sectors were energy, producer durables and financial services. The worst-performing sectors were technology, utilities, and consumer staples.

The Barclays Aggregate index returned -2.37% in November 2016 and 2.51% calendar year to date. For the month of November treasuries returned -2.67% and government related securities returned -2.47%, investment grade corporate debt returned -2.68%.

In global markets, the United States 10 year government bond yield ended the month at 2.38%, up from 1.83% at the end of October. The European 10 year government bond yield ended the month at 0.28% and the Japanese 10 year government bond yield finished October at 0.03%.

VTA Enterprise Funds

VTA Enterprise Funds are invested in portfolios managed by Payden & Rygel, the State of California Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and an interest bearing checking account. Investment performance for the Payden & Rygel managed accounts are included in the table below.

The Payden & Rygel weighted average composite portfolio outperformed its policy benchmark in November by 0.12%. The current yield for the Payden long-term portfolio is 1.65%, the mid-term portfolio is 1.17%, and the short-term portfolio is 0.88%.

At month-end the current yield for funds invested in LAIF was 0.68% and the VTA’s checking accounts was 0.30%.

BOARD MEMORANDUM




SUBJECT: 1976 Tax, Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, 2017 Series A



Resolution

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a resolution (Attachment A) authorizing the refunding of certain maturities of the 2007 Bonds, approving the transaction documents (on file with the Board Secretary), and authorizing the General Manager and Chief Financial Officer to individually take all actions necessary to issue the 1976 Tax, Sales Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds, 2017 Series A (the “2017 Bonds”) and pay issuance costs.

BACKGROUND:

The 2007 Bonds are outstanding in the amount of $12,045,000, have a final maturity of June 1, 2021, and are not subject to early redemption prior to June 1, 2017. The interest coupons on the 2007 Bonds average nearly 5% per year. The 2017 Bonds are anticipated to have an interest rate below 2%.

DISCUSSION:

As of mid-December, refunding savings over the remaining life of the 2007 Bonds were estimated to be as much as $640,000 on a present value basis or approximately 6.5% of the refunded par amount of $9,915,000, exceeding VTA’s Debt Policy minimum savings threshold of 3% of refunded par.

The 2007 Bonds are not subject to early redemption until June 1, 2017 and, due to Federal tax limitations, the 2017 Bonds may not be delivered prior to March 3, 2017. The 2017 Bonds will

14

Page 2 of 3

be issued as fixed rate bonds secured by the 1976 ½ cent sales tax (the “1976 Tax”). The 2017 Bonds will be issued on parity with the VTA’s other senior lien sales tax bonds that are secured by the 1976 Tax. The proceeds of the 2017 Bonds will be used to fund a “refunding escrow” that will defease the 2018 to 2021 maturities by pre-funding the required payments through the June 1, 2017 redemption date and to pay transaction costs.

Manner of Sale

The amount of bonds being refunded is small at $10 million. It was determined that use of a “direct purchase” sales method would provide a competitive interest rate, comparable or better than a public offering, and would significantly reduce the cost of issuing the bonds by eliminating the need to produce a disclosure document (official statement) and avoiding the need to get credit ratings. For this method of sale a placement agent is required to serve as an intermediary between VTA and the potential investors, which are banks.

Brandis Tallman LLC (“Brandis”) was selected as placement agent based on responses to a Request for Proposal (“RFP”) issued by VTA’s Financial Advisor, Ross Financial and distributed to firms that provide placement agent services. A placement agent is needed to assure compliance with Federal Securities Law.

To select a bank as lender for the direct placement, 21 financial institutions were solicited through an RFP issued by the placement agent, Brandis. Five proposals were received and evaluated based on both pricing and terms. Based on results of the proposal evaluation and discussions with the top-ranked bank, Bank of the West (the “Bank”) is recommended to purchase the bonds via a placement made through Brandis, the placement agent.

Other Financing Team Members

Staff engaged under existing contracts, Ross Financial to serve as Financial Advisor and Norton Rose Fulbright LLP to serve as Bond Counsel for issuance of the 2017 Bonds. U.S. Bank National Association, the bond trustee on the 2007 Bonds, will serve as Trustee for the 2017 Bonds.

Expected Timing

Staff anticipates the interest rate on the 2017 Bonds will be set on or about February 3, 2017 and that the 2017 Bonds will close on or about March 7, 2017.

Documentation

Forms of the following documents will be approved with adoption of the authorizing resolution (Attachment A) and are on file with the Board Secretary.

Escrow Agreement. This agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) is entered into between VTA and US Bank National Association as Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agreement instructs the Escrow Agent to purchase special-issue US Treasury Obligations, known as “SLGS, which will satisfy, or defease, all the requirements to pay the 2007 Bonds in full on the first redemption date (June 1, 2017).

Ninth Supplemental Indenture. This document (the “Supplemental Indenture”) supplements the related existing master bond indenture and other supplemental indentures entered into by VTA in connection with prior series of sales tax revenue bonds secured by a senior lien on the 1976 sales tax. The Supplemental Indenture establishes the terms and provisions of the 2017 Bonds. The Supplemental Indenture, together with the related master bond indenture and prior supplemental indentures, is a legal contract between VTA and our Trustee that establishes the responsibilities of VTA and the rights of bondholders. Collectively, the master and supplementalindentures define the security, flow of funds, bond covenants, and other provisions provided by VTA for the protection of investors.

Supplemental Agreement. This agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”) is entered into between VTA and the Bank. The Supplemental Agreement sets forth the terms under which the Bank will purchase the 2017 Bonds and includes certain customary representations and covenants that run directly to the Bank. The Bank requires the Supplemental Agreement for regulatory reasons

ALTERNATIVES:

The Board could defer or decline this action. However, a delay would very possibly result in an increase in the interest rate the bank is currently offering, reducing the savings amount, while a decline of the action would forego the $640,000 of savings.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Transaction costs to issue the 2017 Bonds are estimated at $125,000 and will be paid from 2017 Bond proceeds. These costs include Bond Counsel, Financial Advisor, Bank Counsel, Placement Agent, trustee and other miscellaneous fees. Savings of $640,000 will be net of these costs. Cash flow savings will be around $160,000 per year, for four years.

BOARD MEMORANDUM


THROUGH: N/A

FROM: General Counsel, Robert Fabela

SUBJECT: Approve On-Call List of Law Firms



ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the General Counsel, or his designee, to execute contracts and future extensions thereof with law firms in twelve specialized areas of law and litigation that were selected through a competitive procurement process. Each contract may be for a term of up to five years or until the conclusion of pending matters, whichever occurs later, and in a total amount not to exceed amounts budgeted for such legal services in any given year.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:

A Request for Proposals (RFP) for outside attorney services was issued on September 16, 2016. The purpose of the RFP was to solicit proposals from law firms with expertise in twelve specified categories of law and litigation to enable VTA to establish a pre-approved attorney panel in each of those areas. The areas are: Public Sector Labor Law; Eminent Domain; Construction Law/Litigation; Environmental Law/Litigation; Employment Law/Civil Rights Litigation; Real Property Law; Pension and Benefits Law; Railroad and Rail Regulatory Law; Municipal Finance; Government Contracting/Procurement/Intellectual Property; General Trial; and Public Agency Law.

On or before October 15, 2016, proposals were received from a total of 35 law firms. Many of the firms submitted a proposal for services in more than one area of the law. The attorney selection process consisted of review and evaluation of all written proposals by twelve different review panels. Each proposal was graded and ranked according to established criteria, which consisted of:

1. qualification of the firm, such as experience working with transit/transportation

15

Page 2 of 3

agencies or other public agencies, technical experience in performing work of a closely similar nature, and the strength and stability of the firm (35 points);

2. staffing and project organization, such as qualifications of key personnel who will be providing services and key personnel’s level of involvement, logic of project organization, and adequacy of labor commitment (35 points); and

3. reasonableness of the firm's pricing and competitiveness with other offers received (30 points).

Each of the twelve review panels consisted of two attorneys from the General Counsel's Office and a representative from a VTA department impacted by that category of the law. Although the review panels had the option to interview the firms, the panels deemed it unnecessary to conduct in person interviews due to the number of qualified firms that had submitted written proposals in response to the RFP. A table identifying the firms selected for the twelve specific areas of the law is attached hereto as Attachment A.

Once the on-call list is established, the General Counsel may select attorneys from each panel when outside counsel with such expertise is required. Contracts with the recommended firms will be entered into as the need arises. Having a prequalified list will permit the General Counsel to assign matters that arise during the contract term, and provide for the firms to handle the matters to completion. It is the intention to distribute work to the firms based on an evaluation of the issues to be litigated; the background, experience, and strengths of the attorneys to be used; the resources of the firm; and availability. No retainer will be paid to the firms for placement or retention on the lists.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Board could elect to establish smaller or larger lists of firms, or request the General Counsel to seek additional proposals.

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (DBE)/ SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (SBE) PARTICIPATION/MINORITY WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (MBE):

Proposing firms were informed that while no specific DBE/SBE/MWBE goals were established for these services, they will be expected to cooperate with VTA to meet VTA's overall goals.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will authorize contracts for specialized areas of law and litigation for a period of five years or until the conclusion of pending matters. Appropriation for these expenditures through June 30, 2017 is included in the FY17 Adopted VTA Transit Fund, 2000 Measure A Transit Improvement Program Fund and VTP Highway Improvement Program Fund Operating and Capital Budgets. Appropriation for the remainder of the contract period will be included in subsequent Biennial Budgets.

BOARD MEMORANDUM




SUBJECT: Adopt VTA's Transit Asset Management Program Project List



ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt VTA's FTA grant-funded state-of-good-repair investment program as shown in Attachment A.

BACKGROUND:

The Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Final Rule on Transit Asset Management, effective October 1, 2016, requires all federally funded public transit providers to develop asset management programs and prepare asset management plans. Initial plans must be completed by October 2018 (§625.31; no more than two years after the effective date of the final rule), and updated every 4 years thereafter. Plans are required to include a minimum four-year listing of transit agency state-of-good repair projects. Projects must be included in this list to be eligiblefor FTA Section 5337 formula funds. VTA currently receives approximately $8 - 15 million in Section 5337 funding annually.

While FTA does not require the Asset Management Plan to be approved by the transit agency's policy board, the board must approve the state-of-good repair project list

DISCUSSION:

VTA's Grants Section developed the asset management program and drafted the plan in coordination with Operations, Fiscal, and the Engineering and Transportation Infrastructure Development (ETID) divisions. A consultant team from CH2M Hill was engaged over the

16

Page 2 of 2

course of several months to assess VTA's status, develop a draft Asset Management Plan document, and create a VTA Asset Management working group with representatives from all divisions involved.

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is in the process of programming FTA Formula funds, including Section 5337, for the four years from 2017 through 2020. Working with the VTA Budget process, MTC's regional priorities, and an analysis of VTA's current assets and investment needs, VTA Asset Management Team have identified a 5 year FTA transit-fund based state-of-good-repair investment program. The program focuses Federal grants on replacing aging buses and repairing VTA's light rail infrastructure. The following table provides a breakdown by investment category. The specific project recommendations are included in Attachment A.

Like most transit systems in the United States, VTA's state-of-good-repair needs exceed the resources that FTA provides. Current modeling projects that VTA will still have an unfunded state-of-good-repair backlog exceeding $580 million at the end of the 5-year period.

ALTERNATIVES:

The VTA Board may adopt an alternative program of projects.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of this project list enables VTA to receive FTA Section 5337 funds for eligible projects.

BOARD MEMORANDUM



FROM: Chief Operating Officer, Inez Evans

SUBJECT: Contract Award for Access Paratransit Services



ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize the General Manager to execute a contract to the successful proposer providing the most responsive, responsible and best value proposal for VTA ACCESS Paratransit Services.

Note: Due to the timing of the vendor interview selection process, the proposed vendor and contract amounts may not be available for Administration and Finance (A&F) review. However, vendor and contract value will be available for a later Board of Directors meeting.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with federal regulations, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) provides Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) paratransit services to persons who are unable to independently access or navigate VTA’s bus or light rail system due to a physical, visual, or cognitive disability in accordance with ADA. VTA’s responsibility to provide ADA paratransit service has been contracted out for the last 23 years.

On June 24, 2016, VTA’s Board of Directors approved a recommendation by VTA’s Auditor General to terminate the contract for convenience with its long standing paratransit provider. This action required staff to release a request for proposal for paratransit service.

DISCUSSION:

In September 2016, a Request for Proposals (RFP) was initiated to solicit a new Paratransit Operations and Maintenance provider. An RFP was developed that stresses the needs of the

17

Page 2 of 2

community with greater VTA ownership and oversight, while providing safe, reliable and high quality services to all eligible paratransit clients.

The RFP was issued on September 2, 2016 with proposals due November 3, 2016. Five written proposal were received and evaluated. The evaluation panel included voting members with finance, technology, policy administration, maintenance and operational experience, to appropriately assess the qualifications, credentials and relevant experience of firms proposing to serve as the VTA ACCESS Paratransit operations and maintenance provider.

Proposals were evaluated on the following criteria:

• Qualifications of the Firm• Staffing and Project Organization• Work Plan/Project Understanding• Use of Existing Operators and Staff• Cost & Price

The selection committee conducted interviews on December 1, 2016 with short-listed proposers deemed to be the most competitive and responsive. The proposals and presentations indicated that each of the short listed firms were highly qualified to perform the scope of work contained in the RFP.

Based on the combination of the written proposals and oral interviews, the evaluation panel requested additional clarifying information from the short-listed firms, followed by reference checks.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Board could reject staff recommendation to award a contract as a result of the RFP solicitation and direct staff to perform another RFP. There is no anticipated positive benefit to VTA with this alternative option. VTA would have to revise and extend the emergency services contract currently in place with MV Transportation. A second RFP solicitation may result in less vendor participation as some vendors that participated with the current RFP process may reconsider a second lengthy RFP process. As a result, a lower number of proposals with uncertain changes to pricing and proposal terms would result.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Appropriation for the first two years of the contract will be included in the Proposed FY18 & FY19 VTA Transit Fund Operating Budget. Appropriation for the remaining term of the contract will be included in subsequent Biennial Operating Budgets.

BOARD MEMORANDUM

TO: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority

Administration & Finance Committee


FROM: Chief Operating Officer, Inez Evans

SUBJECT: Paratransit Account Balance Practice Change

3331 North First Street ∙ San Jose, CA 95134-1927 ∙ Administration 408.321.5555 ∙ Customer Service 408.321.2300


BACKGROUND:

ADA paratransit customers are responsible for paying fares for their paratransit rides. Paratransit

fares for service required by federal ADA paratransit regulations can be no more than twice the

fare of a non-discounted adult fare for a bus or light rail trip. Premium paratransit fares for

services that exceed the minimum requirements in the regulations can be set at a higher price as

determined appropriate by the local transit agency and its community of paratransit stakeholders.

VTA Access Paratransit fares are set in accordance with federal ADA paratransit regulations.

Fares for standard paratransit next day to three day in advance trips within the paratransit service

area are $4 per trip, or double the fixed route non-discounted adult fare of $2 per trip. Fares for

premium same-day, open-return, second vehicle, and up to one mile beyond service area trips are

four times the standard paratransit fare, or $16 per trip.

The VTA Paratransit Rider’s Guide that governs paratransit practices allowed the contractor to

deduct appropriate fares automatically from client accounts as each trip was taken. The past

practice allowed customers to reach a negative account balance of $20.

Outreach & Escort, Inc., VTA’s most current paratransit broker, stopped providing paratransit

service on November 3, shortly after the FBI executed a search warrant at its Milpitas offices,

prompting VTA to take over managing the service to ensure services continued for those that

depend on it. VTA is now directly managing the service and the vendor it contracted to provide

the service, MV Transportation.

Revised Agenda Item #18

Page 2 of 3

DISCUSSION:

VTA has transferred all fare account balances from the contractor to the VTA. The client account

transfers included almost 1,200 negative account balances, with 368 exceeding the $20 negative

account balance threshold, with some as high as negative $160. In the past, negative account

balances cost the VTA over $10,000 annually in bad debt write offs.

Due to this, VTA is adopting a new practice that would eliminate this negative account balance

practice.

In the past, the paratransit program maintained a lenient fare payment practice. Paratransit

customers could continue to schedule and take trips until their account balances hit negative $20.

The former practice of having a negative account balance presents financial risk to VTA for

accounts that do not get paid. To eliminate this issue, fares are deducted at the time of booking to

ensure money is available for a client to book a trip before they take it. Client accounts are

available during the same time as reservations, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fares are

returned if a cancellation takes place.

Four reasons to change to a new practice of not allowing negative account balances are:

Eliminates risk of non-payment to VTA stemming from negative account balances.

VTresources can be used to improve services instead of tracking down balances in

arrears.

Paratransit fare payment practices should be consistent with Fixed Route services, which

requires all passengers to pay a fare for transportation.

Equality and fairness must be considered for those that diligently maintain a positive

balance and properly manage their account.

VTA Access Paratransit uses a credit card and check payment system to collect customer fares.

Paratransit customers are responsible for depositing money into their ridership accounts prior to

taking the trips they request. Should clients not have enough funds in their account to book a trip,

a reservationist will transfer them to fare account specialist to make a deposit. It is important and

recommended to maintain an account balance equal to a round trip in case transportation is

needed on weekends or after call center hours of operations.

In the next few months, customer enhancements will be coming online to allow easier payment

options for customer account balances. The options will include payments by telephone, online,

and in-person using credit cards, electronic bank transfers, or written checks. Automated

telephone options and an online application, soon to be released as “Access Online,” will allow

for 24-hour, seven-day-a-week client account transactions. In person cash payments can also be

made at VTA during the transition period.

Page 3 of 3

Effective April 1, 2017, all paratransit customers with negative account balances will be not be

able to schedule additional trips until they deposit funds into their accounts, bringing them to a

positive balance to pay for the trips they schedule. Customers with positive account balances will

only be allowed to schedule trips that they can pay for with the amount of money in their

account. VTA ACCESS Paratransit reservationists will continue to advise customers of their

account balances when they call to schedule trips.

Once ACCESS - Online launches, low balance reminders will be sent out to ensure balances are

positive so clients can get the paratransit access they request.

To ease the transition of the change in practice, VTA will communicate this change with VTA

ACCESS Paratransit clients throughout the month of January and February when clients make

reservations. Communications will include direct mailing to all active clients with direct calls to

those with negative balances. The paratransit phone lines will have a script reminding customers

of this change if they are placed on hold.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATION

The Committee for Transportation Mobility and Accessibility heard this item at its

January 12, 2017 meeting. Two members of the committee opposed the change due to income

limitations of some users. Upon inquiry of the Committee, staff noted the following: 1)

paratransit fares are subject to a VTA Board adopted policy; 2) a newsletter will be sent to all

clients and individuals with negative accounts will be called directly; 3) clients can still make

payments over the phone; 4) under the existing system, liability to VTA has been roughly

$10,000 annually; and 5) fare accounts can be topped off regularly for those that have

subscription trips.

BOARD MEMORANDUM




SUBJECT: FY 2018 & FY 2019 Biennial Budget Assumptions



BACKGROUND:

In order to facilitate the preparation of the FY 2018 and FY 2019 VTA Transit Fund Biennial Budget, several major assumptions relating to the economy, revenues, service levels, and other factors that impact costs are proposed. In addition to the general assumptions listed below, the development of the biennial budget will be guided by VTA’s Core Values as stated in the Adopted Strategic Plan: Safety, Integrity, Quality, Sustainability, Diversity and Accountability.

The FY 2018 and FY 2019 Proposed Budget will be published and distributed in April 2017 with Board of Directors’ action scheduled for June 2017.

DISCUSSION:

Staff will use these working budget assumptions as guidelines to develop the Proposed FY 2018 and FY 2019 VTA Transit Fund Budgets. These assumptions also represent the financial constraints on VTA’s operations and the service and expenditure levels planned for these two years. The final assumptions used in the FY 2018 and FY 2019 Recommended Budget presented for adoption in June 2017 may change as additional information is received.

1. Bus and Light Rail Service Levels:

VTA is currently in the late stages of a two-year planning and outreach effort to develop a redesigned transit network. This effort aims to engage the community in developing a new bus and light rail transit network that reflects transit needs and values while increasing ridership, improving farebox recovery, and integrating BART service into the transit network. Community outreach on the Draft transit service plan will take place in

19

Page 2 of 3

January and February 2017 with a Final transit service plan presented for VTA Board approval in April.

2. Bus and Light Rail Ridership:

Projected bus and light rail ridership will be determined at a later date based on the final proposed transit service plan.

3. Fares:

Several portions of VTA’s Fare Policy are currently under review with proposed changes scheduled to be presented to the public for comment in conjunction with the Draft transit service plan discussed above. Fare Revenues presented in the FY 2018 and FY 2019 Proposed Budget will reflect the staff recommendation that results from the public outreach process.

4. Sales Tax Projections:

VTA’s sales tax consultant, MuniServices, provides VTA with a five-year sales tax forecast which is updated on a quarterly basis. The forecast includes “Conservative”, “Most-Likely”, and “Optimistic” sales tax projection scenarios. The latest available forecast, including all three scenarios, will be brought to the Board for discussion during the April Budget Workshop.

5. 2000 Measure A Operating Assistance:

Staff is currently reviewing the historical 18.5% of 2000 Measure A Sales Tax Revenues to determine if that is the appropriate level of support going forward.

6. Wages and Benefits:

¡ Contracts for all bargaining units expire during the next biennial budget cycle.

Bargaining Unit Expiration Date

AFSCME1 June 19, 2019

ATU2 September 30, 2018

SEIU3 August 5, 2018

7. Diesel Fuel Price:

The average price per gallon paid (including taxes) in FY 2016 was $1.74. Current year-to-date FY 2017 average through 12/16/16 is $1.84. Due to the volatility of this item, the price per gallon assumption for FY 2018 and FY 2019 will be determined as close to the publication of the Proposed Budget as possible.

8. Capital Program:

As in previous years, the FY 2018 and FY 2019 VTA Transit Fund Capital Program will be structured to optimize the use of grant funds to the greatest extent possible. Projects not eligible for grants will be prioritized based on pre-determined scoring criteria that give the greatest emphasis to transit system preservation, increased ridership, and cost impact. The required local matching funds for grants and funding for selected highpriority projects would be funded by local dollars currently available in the Debt Reduction Fund or short-term financing, as appropriate.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE DISCUSSION/RECOMMENDATION:

The Policy Advisory Committee received a presentation on this item at its January 12, 2017 meeting. There were no questions or discussion of the item.

BOARD MEMORANDUM




SUBJECT: Next Network Draft Plan



BACKGROUND:

Under VTA’s Transit Ridership Improvement Program (TRIP) initiated in 2015, VTA began a two-year planning and outreach effort to develop a redesigned transit network. This project was known as Next Network, with implementation of a new transit service plan to occur concurrent with the opening of BART Phase 1 service at the Milpitas and Berryessa stations. The project aims to engage the community in developing a new bus and light rail transit network that reflects our transit needs and values, while increasing ridership, improving farebox recovery, and integrating BART service into the transit network. VTA engaged Jarrett Walker + Associates, an internationally-recognized leader in transit planning, to assist with the effort. The project's major milestones include:

- Late 2015: Independent assessment of VTA’s service and market

- April 2016: Transit Choices and Alternatives reports to VTA Board

- Summer 2016: Community outreach phase 1

- November 2016: VTA Board decision on ridership-coverage allocation (85/15)

- January 2017: Draft transit service plan released

- January-February 2017: Community outreach phase 2

- April 2017: Final transit service plan for VTA Board approval

- Fall 2017: Service begins (concurrent with the opening of BART Phase 1)

The Next Network project started with an independent assessment of VTA's transit service and market. This assessment, called the Transit Choices Report and accompanying Transit

20

Page 2 of 11

Alternatives Report (both available at http://nextnetwork.vta.org/library), illustrated the significant tradeoff decisions for consideration in developing a redesigned transit network. The reports identified the allocation of services between ridership-oriented service and coverage-oriented service as the most critical policy choice facing VTA. To this end, the project team sought to engage the community in a broad discussion of VTA's allocation of resources on the spectrum and whether the new transit service plan should represent a shift in resource allocation towards ridership and away from coverage.

Over the summer of 2016, the project team utilized a series of three transit network concept maps to engage the community and solicit their input on tradeoff questions. This first of two project outreach phases included VTA-hosted community meetings, discussions at non-VTA community meetings, intensive community leader workshops, an online meeting, an interactive dedicated project website, numerous blog posts with accompanying discussion area, social media engagement, and tabling events. The project team received over 5,000 points of valuable feedback, including votes on the ridership-coverage balance. The volume of feedback was used to develop a draft transit service plan.

Following the first phase of community outreach, the VTA Board of Directors held a November 2016 workshop to discuss the community’s input and give staff direction on the ridership-coverage balance for the draft transit service plan. At the conclusion of the meeting, the VTA Board voted to direct staff to develop a draft transit service plan that reflects an “85/15” split -that is, a network that allocates 85% of resources to ridership-oriented service and 15% of resources to coverage-oriented service. This direction to pursue a network designed to achieve higher ridership represents a shift from today’s network of 70% ridership-oriented service and 30% coverage-oriented service. This change would have the effect of increasing frequency in high ridership transit-supportive corridors and areas, decreasing service in areas with low transit demand, and a design philosophy that embraces a grid of frequent routes with more rapid routes and more midday and weekend service.

DISCUSSION:

VTA staff have developed a draft transit service plan that reflects the substantial community input received over the summer as well as the VTA Board’s guidance on the ridership-coverage balance given at the November 18 Board Workshop. At the January 2017 Board meeting, staff is requesting approval to take the draft transit service plan out to the community in a second phase of outreach. Concurrently, staff is requesting input on the draft plan from the January standing and advisory committees. The draft plan’s network map is presented as Attachment A; a route-by-route matrix of proposed service changes is presented as Attachment B.

The draft transit service plan includes the following major features:

REALLOCATION OF RESOURCES FROM COVERAGE TO RIDERSHIP

What we heard: The community understood the difficult ridership and coverage tradeoff and overall voted strongly in favor of VTA allocating more resources to ridership service and fewer

20

Page 3 of 11

resources to coverage service.

VTA currently spends approximately 70% of its operating dollars on productive ridership-oriented service and the remaining 30% to unproductive coverage-oriented service, a “70/30” balance. The draft plan would achieve an 85/15 balance by reallocating resources from unproductive services and investing those resources in more productive services. This reallocation of coverage-oriented service to ridership-oriented service is how the plan can offer significant benefits while not increasing the total cost of service.

The areas that would lose service under the draft plan are generally areas that lack the transit-supportive characteristics such as dense, walkable, pedestrian-oriented spaces that are necessary for transit to be productive. VTA is exploring alternative mobility strategies for these difficult-to-serve areas in a concurrent Core Connectivity project to potentially serve these “gaps” in the transit network.

INCREASED LIGHT RAIL SERVICE

What we heard: The community expressed a strong desire to invest in VTA’s light rail system.

The VTA Light Rail to BART connection will be at the Montague Light Rail station, and VTA will modify the light rail service plan to better serve this connection as well as the ongoing needs of Santa Clara Valley residents and workers.

In May 2016, staff brought, for review, three different operating plans with three different optional enhancements to the VTA Board of Directors. Staff returned in October 2016 with a staff recommendation that includes the following changes (see Attachment C for a map of the recommended light rail operating plan):

• A new line from Alum Rock to Mountain View operating every 15-minutes. This new line would double the Light Rail service frequency at the Milpitas BART Station and provide a direct trip from BART to major employment centers in North San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View. This line would also serve Levi’s Stadium, reducing the need for special event trains. Staff is also continuing to study the potential for an express service on part of this line.

• The existing Winchester to Mountain View line would be modified to a Winchester to Old Ironsides line. The frequency of this service would improve from the current 15-minute peak hour/30-minute midday frequencies to 15-minute frequencies all day.

• The Commuter Express, which currently operates three trips each peak period between Santa Teresa and Baypointe, would operate from Santa Teresa to St. James Station and be expanded to six trains each peak period, instead of the current three, using the same resources.

• No changes are proposed for the existing Santa Teresa to Alum Rock line and the existing Almaden Service.

• Signage and wayfinding improvements, including renaming the light rail lines to coincide

20

Page 4 of 11

with their colors (Orange, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow) and renaming of two stations. Montague light rail station will become Milpitas light rail station, and I-880/Milpitas light rail station will become Alder light rail station.

FREQUENT BART CONNECTIONS

What we heard: The community reiterated the importance of BART service in the county and expressed a desire for convenient transit connections to BART service.

The draft plan includes frequent connecting service at the Milpitas and Berryessa transit centers, ensuring that riders would have a range of transit options to connect with BART trains (see Attachment D for an illustration of transit connections at the two transit centers). The Milpitas and Berryessa transit centers would feature an array of connecting services:

• A new light rail line between Alum Rock and Mountain View, discussed above, that would provide a direct BART connection for Alum Rock, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View destinations (every 15-minutes all day).

• A redesigned and improved DASH service, renamed Route 500, would provide a direct service with more frequency, longer spans of service, and a larger service area that would include the Berryessa BART station. As an expanded route with new regional connections, Route 500 would be a standard fare route. Route 500 trips would be timed to meet BART trains at the Berryessa BART station and provide fast and direct service into downtown San Jose and Diridon Station (trips timed to meet every BART train).

• Today’s Airport Flyer Route 10 would be upgraded to become a new frequent Route 60that would provide a direct connection between the Milpitas transit center’s BART trains and Mineta San Jose International Airport, Santa Clara Caltrain Station, Valley Fair/Santana Row, and the Winchester corridor (every 15-minutes all day). As a new countywide frequent route, Route 60 would be a standard fare route, with the exception of boardings at the airport, which would be fare-free.

• Rapid 523, a new Rapid service between Berryessa BART, downtown San Jose (via King Road and Alum Rock Avenue), San Carlos Street, Stevens Creek Boulevard, Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road, downtown Sunnyvale, and Lockheed Martin via Mathilda Avenue (every 15-minutes all day).

• A new Route 20 that would serve north San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View (every 15-minutes peak and 30-minutes midday).

• Additional bus routes from the Milpitas and/or Berryessa BART stations:o Route 47 would serve Milpitas (every 30-minutes all day).o Route 66 would serve Milpitas, Oakland Road, downtown San Jose, and

Monterey Highway (every 15-minutes all day).o Route 77 would serve both Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations, plus Lundy

Avenue, King Road, and the Eastridge Transit Center (every 15-minutes all day).o Route 70 would serve both Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations, plus southern

Milpitas, Jackson Avenue, and the Eastridge Transit Center (operating every 15 or

20

Page 5 of 11

30 minutes all day, depending on route segment).o Route 71 would serve Piedmont Road, White Road, and the Eastridge Transit

Center (every 30-minutes all day).o Route 61 would serve Berryessa Road and West San Jose via Taylor Street,

Naglee Avenue, and Bascom Avenue (every 15-minutes all day).o AC Transit’s Route 217 would serve Milpitas and Fremont BART via Mission

Boulevard (every 30-minutes all day).

SIMPLIFIED FAMILY OF SERVICES

What we heard: The community expressed frustration in understanding and using VTA’s complex transit network.

The draft plan features a simplified family of transit services that would make service easier to understand and use (see Attachment E). The new family of services would establish a strong hierarchy of transit service and a clear structure to complement VTA’s new brand:

• Light rail, featuring 7-day a week service every 15-minutes

• Rapid bus, featuring 7-day a week service every 15-minutes, with limited stops

• Frequent bus, featuring 7-day a week service every 15-minutes, with local stops

• Local bus, featuring weekday service every 30-minutes, with local stops

• Express bus, featuring peak-only commuter service on weekdays

The draft plan also proposes discontinuing Community Bus as a distinct service class and fare. The Community Bus fare was established in 2007 because the Community Bus routes were serviced by light duty gasoline-fueled cutaway vehicles (which were significantly cheaper to acquire) and because the bus operators assigned to Community routes were paid less than operators assigned to regular routes. Neither of these cost differentials apply today: VTA operates our regular transit buses on all Community routes and all operators are paid the same wage regardless of the route they operate. Therefore, the draft plan incorporates routes previously classified as Community routes into the Local Bus class.

REGIONAL CONNECTIONS

What we heard: The community expressed a desire for better connections with other regional transit services to expand mobility beyond Santa Clara County.

The draft plan would enhance regional mobility by improving connections with the Bay Area’s regional transit network. Better regional connections would be achieved by 1) improving the frequency of VTA routes that connect to the regional transit network, thereby reducing transfer wait times, and 2) introducing new VTA routes that connect to the regional transit network. Some of the improved regional connections include:

20

Page 6 of 11

• Numerous Frequent routes that would serve the Milpitas and Berryessa BART stations.

• A new light rail Orange Line that would offer direct service between Alum Rock and Mountain View, serving Milpitas BART, Mountain View Caltrain, and ACE/Capitol Corridor at Great America Station.

• A new cross-county Frequent route that would offer a direct connection between Milpitas BART, San Jose International Airport, Santa Clara Caltrain, light rail, and Valley Fair/Santana Row (Route 60).

• Improved service frequencies at Diridon Station for routes connecting to Monterey-Salinas Transit Route 55 to Monterey and the Highway 17 Express to Santa Cruz.

• New Rapid 523 service that would connect Sunnyvale Caltrain to Lockheed Martin transit center, De Anza College, and the Stevens Creek/San Carlos/Santa Clara/Alum Rock corridors.

• A revised and more frequent downtown San Jose DASH shuttle that would offer frequent connections at Diridon Station and the Berryessa BART station (Route 500).

• New routes at Milpitas BART that would offer connections with AC Transit’s Route 217 (previously connecting at the Great Mall Transit Center).

FOCUS SERVICE NEAR TRANSIT-SUPPORTIVE DEVELOPMENT

What we heard: Community members understood the land use and transportation connection and expressed a desire for transit to support dense, walkable, and sustainable development.

Transit, land use, and the street grid form an interrelated trio of features that work together to produce sustainable communities where residents can adopt transit-oriented lifestyles. The draft plan focuses transit resources in areas with a street grid and land use pattern that support transit and where it would achieve the greatest ridership per dollar spent. These transit-supportive areas, often in dense cores, along corridors, and around station areas, would benefit from additional transit service as part of a robust frequent transit network. By establishing a frequent transit network where cities could focus dense, transit-oriented development, cities could accommodate future growth while minimizing new auto trips. In turn, additional growth along the frequent network would generate additional ridership on the transit network, continuing the mutually beneficial cycle of transit-supportive land use and transit productivity.

MORE RESIDENTS AND JOBS ON THE FREQUENT TRANSIT NETWORK

What we heard: Today’s transit network tries to go too many places and transit is spread too thin, service doesn’t come very often, and therefore transit trips take too long. The community expressed a desire for transit to focus on transit-supportive areas.

As outlined in the project’s Transit Choices Report released in early 2016, a transit network

20

Page 7 of 11

maximizes ridership by maximizing the total number of residents and jobs on a frequent network of transit services (i.e. getting more people to more places in less time). The draft plan aims to maximize the number of residents and jobs on a network of frequent transit routes in the most transit-supportive areas of the county by taking more residents to more places in the same amount of time, which is a central theme of high ridership transit networks.

PARATRANSIT SERVICE AVAILABILITY

What we heard: High-quality paratransit service options are critical to valley residents.

The draft plan features a redesigned fixed-route transit network which would impact VTA’sfederal requirements regarding complementary paratransit service. Some network changes would increase VTA’s paratransit service obligations, such as new service in previously-unserved geographic areas or an expansion of the hours of service availability in evenings and on weekends. Conversely, some network changes would reduce VTA’s paratransit obligations, such as geographic areas that would lose fixed route service entirely. The net impact of the draft plan’s fixed route network on paratransit service has not been fully analyzed yet, and VTA staff will engage the VTA Committee for Transportation Mobility and Accessibility (CTMA) in developing a recommended paratransit policy strategy for adoption with the final transit service plan. In advance of Board adoption of a paratransit policy, the draft plan includes a recommendation to minimize service impacts for all existing paratransit customers in the county so that paratransit users are not negatively impacted by the new transit service plan.

IMPROVED SERVICE TO LOW INCOME AND MINORITY RESIDENTS

What we heard: VTA should pay particular attention to the transit needs of low income and minority residents.

The draft plan includes elements to increase transit service available to low income and minority residents. As outline in VTA’s Title VI program, staff paid particular attention to the location and travel needs of low income and minority residents during the planning process to develop the draft plan. In Santa Clara County, low income and minority residents tend to reside in areas that are already transit supportive (featuring dense, mixed land uses and a strong street grid). The draft plan’s emphasis on expanding service in transit-supportive areas works hand-in-hand with the goal of improving service for low income and minority residents. Staff also enlisted the expertise of an independent consultant to conduct a preliminary Title VI equity analysis. The preliminary Title VI analysis concluded that the draft plan does not impose a disparate impact on minority populations or a disproportionate burden on low income populations.

Staff will continue to include Title VI equity considerations as part of the planning process to revise the draft plan into the final transit service plan. A full Title VI service equity analysis will be conducted on the final transit service plan and the results will be presented with the final plan.

EXPANDED WEEKEND SERVICE

What we heard: The community expressed frustration with VTA’s limited transit options on weekends, particularly those residents who work in the service and retail sectors.

20

Page 8 of 11

The draft plan aims to increase the amount of transit service provided on weekends, particularly on the core network of frequent routes. Compared to VTA’s current transit network, the draft plan provides 9% more service on Saturdays and 7% more service on Sundays.

For example, VTA’s transit network today provides no service to Alviso on Saturdays or Sundays. Under the draft plan, Alviso would have 15 hours of service on Saturdays and 11 hours of service on Sundays. By providing a more useful 7-day transit network, more residents could adopt a transit-oriented lifestyle.

BETTER NORTH-SOUTH CONNECTIONS IN WEST VALLEY

What we heard: West Valley residents and workers expressed a desire for more frequent transit service, particularly north-south service.

Effective transit networks utilize a grid of intersecting frequent routes to create the possibility of travel anywhere within the grid, as demonstrated by the success of East San Jose’s strong grid network of frequent routes. The draft plan introduces new north-south frequent service in West Valley’s strongest corridors. These new frequent corridors include:

• A Frequent 57 route on the Saratoga/Kiely/Bowers/Great America corridor, every 15-minutes on weekdays and 20-minutes on weekends.

• Improved service on Frequent route 60 along the Winchester corridor, every 15-minutes on weekdays and every 20-minutes on weekends.

• A new Rapid 523 route along the Mathilda/Sunnyvale-Saratoga/Hollenbeck corridor between De Anza College and the Lockheed Martin transit center, every 15-minutes every day (including weekends).

SCHOOL SERVICE

What we heard: Many communities rely on VTA service for youth school trips.

Many schools are located near fixed-route service and VTA plays a role in getting these students to and from school. VTA’s school service takes the form of additional vehicles added to routes near schools, timed to the school bell times, to ensure students are well-served. The draft plan continues VTA’s program to provide supplementary school trips at the same level as today, about 46,000 annual service hours (3% of VTA’s total annual bus service hours).

The draft plan includes four cases where VTA would scale back an existing all-day fixed route to a schedule focused on school bell times. These four routes have low ridership today and would otherwise have been discontinued under the draft plan’s shift to a more ridership-oriented network. Instead, these four routes have been scaled back to operate at school bell times only:

• Route 88 in Palo Alto would be converted to special service (Route 288), for Gunn High School, Kehillah Jewish High School, Palo Verde Elementary School, Hoover Elementary School, and Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School.

20

Page 9 of 11

• Route 82 in Willow Glen would be converted to special service (Route 282), for Willow Glen High School and Willow Glen Elementary School.

• Route 46 in Milpitas would be converted to special service (Route 246), for Milpitas High School.

• Route 16 in Morgan Hill would be converted to special service (Route 216), for Sobrato High School, Live Oak High School, and Lewis Britton Middle School.

VTA EXPRESS SERVICE

VTA’s twelve Express routes were not studied as part of this project. However, a dedicated Express service redesign project will be conducted following adoption of the final transit service plan in 2017. Therefore, the draft plan does not make recommendations for VTA’s Express routes, except for the routes that currently serve Fremont BART (Express routes 120, 140, 180, and 181). As the only VTA routes that provide service outside of Santa Clara County, the four Express routes that currently serve Fremont BART would all be replaced by the BART Phase 1 extension:

• Express 120 to Lockheed Martin/Moffett Park (6 AM and 6 PM trips) would be replaced by the new Orange light rail line (every 15-minutes all day) and the BART extension to Milpitas.

• Express 140 to Mission College and Montague Expressway (3 AM and 3 PM trips) would be replaced by a new Frequent route 20 (every 15-minutes peak and 30-minutes midday) and the BART extension to Milpitas.

• Express 180 to Milpitas (and Eastridge on select peak trips) (every 30-minutes) would be replaced by the BART extension to Milpitas (and Frequent route 77 every 15-minutes).

• Express 181 to downtown San Jose (every 15-minutes) would be replaced by Rapid route 500 (timed to meet every BART train at Berryessa Station), and the BART extension to Berryessa Station.

• Express 101, 102, 103, 104, 121, 122, 168, 182: no change; service remains as it is today.

RELATIONSHIP TO FARE STUDY

The draft plan utilizes a grid network of frequent routes to expand the range of trips possible on the transit network, however VTA’s current fare structure discourages the transfers that would unlock the ridership benefits of the grid. Concurrent with the project, VTA staff will separately engage the Board in discussions and development of revised fare policies that would complement the new transit service network.

20

Page 10 of 11

BUDGET

Following VTA Board guidance, the draft plan represents an unchanged total amount of bus service, utilizing the same annual service hours as the most recent Board-approved service plan (the FY16-17 Transit Service Plan). The draft bus service plan is anticipated to be cost neutral, i.e., no increase in annual operating expenses directly related to the number of service hours.

The light rail portion of the draft plan represents an increase in the total amount of service provided. The proposed light rail service plan is projected to increase operating costs by approximately $11 Million annually. Net costs after projected fares, would be approximately $8 Million annually.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE DISCUSSION

The Technical Advisory Committee considered this item on January 11, 2017 and made the following comments: 1) asked how VTA's Core Connectivity project aligns with Next Network; 2) asked how Measure B will be allocated to plan; 3) asked what happens to paratransit riders that would be impacted; 4) asked if VTA is doing a Title VI equity analysis for the draft plan; 5) asked if VTA Board members attend public meetings; 6) expressed support for easier/free transfers and discounted youth/low income fares; 7) thanked staff for meeting with city staff; 8) expressed desire to maintain current level of service in Morgan Hill; 9) inquired about Expresses and timing of Warm Springs BART extension opening.

recovery because there are so many external factors involved, but that ridership increases would improve farebox recovery.

The Bicycle & Pedestrian Advisory Committee considered this item on January 11, 2017 and made the following comments: 1) expressed compliments to staff for a well-written memo and an excellent presentation; 2) expressed support for eliminating transfer penalty; 3) asked why other peer agencies perform better on metrics like farebox recovery; 4) asked if there is data correlating ridership increases and incentives/subsidies offered by employers; 5) suggested VTA coordinate with Caltrain and BART on mobile ticketing effort; 6) noted that CAC discussed issue of parking at transit stops, need to explore shared parking options; 7) suggested developing EcoPass program for multifamily homes; 8) suggested staff contact housing organizations in Sunnyvale; 9) asked for clarification on adjusted fares; 10) suggested that staff emphasize to communities that lose service that if their land use patterns improve, service could come back; 11) expressed concern that once service goes away, it never comes back; 12) urged VTA to change the name of Berryessa light rail station; 13) expressed concern about paratransit impacts from less coverage; 14) expressed appreciation that the plan increases service to low income communities, minorities, and weekend service; 15) noted that students have expressed opposition to $3 charge for EcoPass; 16) asked if staff has conducted an analysis of how these changes will impact first/last-mile connections; 17) asked if the plan includes a refresh to wayfinding signage. Staff responded to questions: 3) there are many factors involved, including land use, which is slowly changing for the better in the county; 4) yes, information analyzed as part of the fare study; 9) affirmed that fares could increase; 16) confirmed that staff is looking at first/last-mile connections as part of Core Connectivity project; 17) confirmed that VTA's rebrand includes refresh to signage.

The Citizens Advisory Committee considered this item on January 11, 2017 and made the following comments: 1) asked how Measure B funds will be used; 2) indicated that fare study needs to be followed as it will impact low income, minority passengers; 3) asked which routes will completely go away; 4) asked which routes could be improved from 30-minute service to 15-minute service; 5) inquired if the plan will entice people to park in business lots to catch the bus; 6) asked what the new BART service will look like; 7) asked why community bus fare will go away; 8) asked for paratransit policy discussion to be brought to CAC as well; 9) asked when BART will open; 10) asked about timing of Board decision on transit operations money in Measure B.
