The current plan was adopted in 2018, and some changes have occurred to projects throughout the region that require an amendment to the plan. To accommodate these changes, the region has adopted procedures to allow for “minor amendments” that may be approved by the Executive Board on an ad hoc basis. A minor amendment is consistent with the plan’s air quality conformity determination, environmental analysis under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and adopted financial strategy. The amendment added two new projects to the constrained plan: Seattle’s Thomas Street Project and Tacoma’s Historic Waterditch Trail Phase 3. It also moved two projects into the constrained list: Kitsap County’s SR 104 Realignment and WSDOT’s I-405 Corridor: I-5/I405 to 164th Street SW Auxiliary Lane. It revised six existing projects in the constrained plan, including three Sound Transit projects, two WSDOT projects, and one Pierce Transit project. Last, it included 12 administrative amendments for seven Sound Transit projects, three from King County and two from Seattle. At its meeting on February 13, the Transportation Policy Board recommended adoption of the amendment.

ACTION: It was moved and seconded (Erickson/Ralph) to adopt a minor amendment to the Regional Transportation Plan to reflect revisions to the Regional Capacity Project list as identified in Attachment A. The motion passed unanimously.

VISION 2050 Review Paul Inghram, PSRC Director of Growth Management, reviewed with the board two proposed amendments to the draft VISION 2050 plan. Snohomish County proposed that growth strategy allocations for Snohomish County be changed to match the draft plan released for public comment last July, which would increase the rural allocation by 12,000 and reduce about that number from the core cities and cities and town allocations. King County Councilmember Balducci proposed several edits related to housing, including two new action statements related to housing choice and house production. The board is asked to make a final recommendation on the plan at its March meeting, prior to the May General Assembly meeting where the final VISION 2050 plan would be adopted. INFORMATION ITEM Included in the agenda packet was information on the Draft Supplemental Biennial Budget and Work Program (FY 2020-2021).

Josh Brown, PSRC Executive Director, reported on the requested action to approve the distribution of funding to the region’s transit agencies. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. This funding is targeted to address impacts from the COVID-19 crisis and better enable recovery across the region. PSRC worked closely with the region’s transit agencies on the distribution methodology for the CARES Act Funding and to distribute the $538 million available to the region. The distributions are based on the Federal Transit Administration’s apportionment formula.

ACTION: It was moved and seconded (Erickson/Strakeljahn) to approve the distribution of funding to the region’s transit agencies as identified in Attachment 1. The motion passed unanimously.

CONSENT AGENDA May 21, 2020 To: Executive Board From: Josh Brown, Executive Director Subject: Approve Contract Authorization to Purchase Network and IT Support

Services IN BRIEF Authorization by the Executive Board is required for the Executive Director to enter into a contract in excess of $10,000 per year. The Executive Board previously authorized consulting services to outsource computer network administration and support and the agency entered into contracts for these services. At this time authorization is requested to extend the current service contract. RECOMMENDED ACTION Recommend that the Executive Board authorize the Executive Director to enter into one or more contracts to purchase Information Technology (IT) support services not to exceed $50,000 for a period of one year. BUDGET IMPACT The adopted Biennial Budget and Work Program includes sufficient funds within overhead/information systems budget for this project for the current fiscal year. The proposed FY 2020-21 budget contains sufficient funds for the next biennium. DISCUSSION The PSRC, as a small agency, often needs information technology expertise and services that in-house staff cannot provide. Accordingly, PSRC has historically contracted with one or more firms for support services that include routine monitoring and maintenance/administration of the computer network as well as access to subject

matter experts in specialized fields such as wireless networking, cloud-hosted disaster recovery and emerging technologies. Thus, the services provided are a combination of routine and project-based support. The current three-year contract for network and IT support services expires on June 30, 2020. New contract authorization is needed to secure the services of one or more firms to perform these services over the next year after which a new procurement will be conducted for future services. The recommended action will provide PSRC with one or more qualified vendors to perform these services. Costs are estimated at $30,000 to $45,000 annually based on past experience.

CONSENT AGENDA May 21, 2020 To: Executive Board From: Josh Brown, Executive Director Subject: Approve Contract Authorization to Purchase Internet and Telephone

Service IN BRIEF Authorization by the Executive Board is required for the Executive Director to enter into a contract in excess of $10,000 per year. A request is being made to authorize the purchase of internet and telephone service. RECOMMENDED ACTION Recommend that the Executive Board authorize the Executive Director to enter into one or more contracts to purchase internet and telephone service not to exceed $50,000 total for three years. BUDGET IMPACT The adopted Biennial Budget and Work Program includes sufficient funds within overhead/information systems budget for this project for the remainder of the current fiscal year. The proposed FY 2020-2021 budget contains sufficient funds for the next biennium. Funding for the third year is contingent upon approval of the FY 2020-2022 budget. DISCUSSION PSRC contracts for bundled internet and (landline) telephone services at a cost of approximately $12,200 per year (roughly one third for internet and two thirds for telephone) including taxes and fees. The current three-year contract expires May 31, 2020. Board authorization is needed to enter into a new contract for these services.

Consistent with PSRC’s procurement policies, the staff will return to the marketplace and solicit proposals for these services with the intention of controlling operating costs. While rates are expected to be at or lower than the current contract, the amount of the authorization includes a contingency for potential increased bandwidth needs arising from PSRC’s increased use of cloud-based services and work-from-home network traffic.

CONSENT AGENDA May 21, 2020 To: Executive Board From: Josh Brown, Executive Director Subject: Adopt Routine Amendment to the 2019-2022 Transportation

Improvement Program IN BRIEF Six agencies submitted eleven projects this month for routine amendment into the Regional TIP. These projects are summarized in Exhibit A. These projects were awarded local, state, and federal funding through various processes, such as Connecting Washington funds managed by the Washington State Department of Transportation. PSRC staff reviewed the projects for compliance with federal and state requirements, and consistency with VISION 2040 and the Regional Transportation Plan. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Executive Board should adopt an amendment to the 2019-2022 Regional TIP to include the projects as shown in Exhibit A. DISCUSSION Under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, PSRC has project selection authority for all projects programming regional funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) - Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (STP) and Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) - and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) - Urbanized Area Formula Program (5307), State of Good Repair (5337), Bus and Bus Facilities Formula (5339), and Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities (5310). While PSRC does not have project selection authority for other types of federal, state, or local funds, the Executive Board does have responsibility for adding these projects to

the Regional TIP. Each project must comply with requirements regarding plan consistency, air quality, and financial constraint. The attached Exhibit A illustrates the action needed to amend the Regional TIP. The recommended action would approve the TIP amendment request based on a finding of consistency with VISION 2040, the Regional Transportation Plan, and the air quality conformity determination of the Regional TIP. Approval is also based on a determination that funding is reasonably expected to be available to carry out the project. Information describing plan consistency, air quality conformity, and the funding basis for approving the request is described further below. Consistency with VISION 2040 and the Regional Transportation Plan The projects recommended for action were reviewed by PSRC staff and have been determined to be consistent with the multicounty policies in VISION 2040 and the Regional Transportation Plan. Air Quality Conformity The projects in Exhibit A were reviewed and it has been determined that a new air quality analysis and conformity determination is not required because each project falls into one or more of the following categories:

• It is exempt from air quality conformity requirements.

• It is an existing project already included in the current air quality modeling.

• It is a non-exempt project not able to be included in the regional model. Funding Reasonably Expected to be Available For the projects in Exhibit A, PSRC confirmed that the funds are reasonably expected to be available. PSRC’s Project Tracking Policies Detailed below are three requests from Kitsap Transit and one request from Everett Transit for modifications to PSRC’s FTA funds for this amendment. The modifications were found to be consistent with PSRC’s project tracking policies and were reviewed and recommended by the Transportation Operations Committee (TOC) via an online vote completed on March 25, 2020. Kitsap Transit requests a redistribution of $885,747 in 2019 FTA Earned Share funds. The redistribution is needed because construction costs have increased for the Silverdale Transit Center due to area market demand in Kitsap County. Therefore, Kitsap Transit requests to redistribute funds from its "Passenger Only Ferry: Kingston - Downtown Seattle" project to its "Silverdale Transit Center" project. Kitsap Transit has determined that the amount of funding needed to accomplish the work identified in the "Passenger Only Ferry: Kingston - Downtown Seattle" project scope can be completed

using local and other federal funds. The "Silverdale Transit Center" project will use the increase in funding from the redistribution to meet the increased construction costs. Kitsap Transit requests a redistribution of $217,162 in 2018 FTA Earned Share funds. The redistribution is needed for additional funding for onboard vehicle technologies hardware for its bus and couch vehicles. Therefore, Kitsap Transit requests to redistribute funds from its "North Kitsap Base" project to its "Bus and OTR Coach Purchase" project. Kitsap Transit has determined that the amount of funding needed to accomplish the work identified in the "North Kitsap Base" project scope can be completed using local funds. The "Bus and OTR Coach Purchase" project will use the increase in funding from the redistribution to purchase onboard vehicle technologies. Kitsap Transit requests a redistribution of $270,861 in 2019 FTA Earned Share funds among phases in the “South Base” project. Kitsap Transit originally programmed funding to the Planning phase of the project in error, and this redistribution is needed to move these funds to the Preliminary Engineering (PE) phase. The "South Base" project will use the redistributed funding for environmental document preparation. Everett Transit requests a redistribution of $1,258,523 in 2019 FTA Earned Share funds. The redistribution will transfer these funds from the “2019 Everett Transit Preliminary Engineering & Design Operations Base” project to the FTA Emergency Relief Funding Program. The redistribution of funds will be used for operating costs under the Emergency Relief Program in order to continue providing transportation for essential workers and services. Everett Transit has realized a large financial impact due to COVID-19 and expects this financial impact to continue. With the impact of COVID-19 and the reduction of service for some time to come, Everett Transit is delaying Preliminary Engineering and Design of a new operations base, and the project will need to be reexamined at a future date.

CONSENT AGENDA May 21, 2020 To: Executive Board From: Josh Brown, Executive Director Subject: Approve the 2020 Adjustment of PSRC’s Federal Transit

Administration Funds and Distribution of Funds to the FTA Regional Contingency List of Projects

IN BRIEF In February 2020, PSRC was notified of the region’s final allocation for its federal fiscal year (FFY) 2020 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds. FTA requires that PSRC review the estimates used to program its FTA funds with the actual allocation approved by Congress on an annual basis. Due to the final allocation being higher than the original estimates used for programming the FTA funds, there is an additional $41.1 million available for distribution. A summary of the funds originally programmed and the adjustments for FFY 2020 is provided in Attachment A. The recommendation of the Transportation Operators Committee (TOC) for the adjustments, including the distribution of additional funds to projects, is contained in Attachment B. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Executive Board should approve the adjustments and $41.1 million in additional FFY 2020 FTA funds to the list of projects as shown in Attachment B. DISCUSSION PSRC’s 2020 FTA funds were originally distributed to projects as part of the 2016 project selection process using an estimate based on previous funding levels. FTA requires that PSRC review the estimates with the actual allocation approved by Congress on an annual basis. In February 2020 PSRC was notified of the region’s final allocation of FFY 2020 FTA funds. The final 2020 allocation is higher than originally estimated, providing an increase of approximately $41.1 million to the region.

There are three urbanized areas (UZAs) in the region, as designated by the U.S. Census. These are the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA, the Bremerton UZA and the Marysville UZA. Kitsap Transit and Community Transit are the sole transit agencies within the Bremerton and Marysville UZAs, respectively. In the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA, there are multiple transit agencies, including three agencies that provide service within the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA but are located outside of it. These include Kitsap Transit in Kitsap County, Intercity Transit in Thurston County, and Skagit Transit in Skagit County. Per adopted regional policy, these external agencies are able to access the FTA funds earned from the service they provide within the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA. Since Kitsap Transit and Community Transit are the only transit agencies operating in the Bremerton and Marysville UZAs, FTA funds within those UZAs are distributed entirely through an earned share process. In the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA, approximately 86% of the FTA funds earned are based on the service and operating characteristics of the transit agencies providing service to the UZA. Per adopted regional policy, this portion of the funds is distributed to each transit agency based on their earnings. The remaining funds, approximately 14%, come to the region based on regional attributes such as population density. This portion of the funds is distributed via a regional competition. The $41.1 million in additional FFY 2020 FTA funds is the net total to the region, reflecting both increases and decreases in amounts earned by each transit agency, as well as an increase to the regional portion of funds in the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett UZA, resulting in approximately $3.6 million being recommended for distribution to projects on the FTA Regional contingency list. A summary of the changes between the estimates used for programming as part of the 2016 project selection process and the final 2020 allocation amounts is contained in Attachment A. As part of the FFY 2020 FTA annual adjustments, two agencies seek to allocate funds to two new projects. Kitsap Transit proposes to use $1,049,427 in funds for its Transit Operations project, and King County Metro proposes to use $900,000 in funds for its Trolley System Master Drawing Program. Since these projects are new, per adopted policy they will be released for public comment from May 21 through June 11, 2020; should public comments be received in opposition to these projects, the projects will return for consideration by the Executive Board at its July meeting. Additionally, Everett Transit is seeking to redistribute $1,258,523 of these formula funds to the FTA Emergency Relief Program to help with the agency’s emergency-related operating

expenses. For additional information, please contact Sarah Gutschow at [email protected] or (206) 587-4822. Attachments: Attachment A - 2020 Net Adjustment Amounts

ATTACHMENT C: TOC Recommendation of FFY 2020 FTA Regional Contingency List Project Funding

Per adopted contingency list procedures, since FTA funds are awarded and expended based on specific fiscal years, the first priority for new funds is to advance projects previously awarded in the regional competition. FFY 2020-2022 funds were originally awarded as part of the 2016 project selection process, with the regional competition conducted in 2017. For FFY 2020, there is an additional $3,605,465 in additional regional competitive funds available from the final allocation.

The charts below illustrate 1) the original awards of regional competitive funds for 2020-2022; 2) the advancement of funds per adopted policy from 2021 to 2020, and 2022 to 2021; and finally 3) the distribution of freed up 2022 funds to a project on the adopted contingency list.

ACTION ITEM May 21, 2020 To: Executive Board From: Josh Brown, Executive Director Subject: Recommend Adoption of Supplemental Budget and Work Program

Fiscal Years 2020-2021 IN BRIEF Last May, PSRC’s General Assembly adopted a two-year budget and work program, which runs from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021. The adopted biennial budget includes an option to make an adjustment with a supplemental budget after the first year. Information on the proposed Supplemental Budget and Work Program was given to the Executive Board, Transportation Policy Board, Growth Management Policy Board, Regional Staff Committee, and the Economic Development Board during the month of February 2020 and members were invited to forward any comments to the Operations Committee. There were no comments received. The Proposed Supplemental FY2020-2021 Budget includes one change in previous direction from the Operations Committee in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. PSRC has eliminated the 4% membership dues increase for FY2021. This revision will reduce revenue and contingency reserve by $93,000. In recent years PSRC has used all increases in membership dues to build up the contingency reserve. The freezing of the dues is the same practice PSRC followed during the Great Recession to support our membership. On May 28, 2020, the Executive Board will be asked to recommend the Fiscal Years 2020-2021 Supplemental Budget and Work Program for adoption by the General Assembly on June 25, 2020. The Proposed Supplemental Budget and Work Program, which can be viewed at https://www.psrc.org/about/budget, provides an overview of the

ACTION ITEM To: Executive Board From: Josh Brown, Executive Director Subject: Approve 2020 Project Delivery and Supplemental Funding Action

IN BRIEF In 2019, the Executive Board approved updated policies and procedures for achieving the annual delivery targets for PSRC’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds, including the process to follow should a supplemental funding action be necessary to meet the target. For the 2020 delivery target, staff has followed those procedures and a supplemental funding action is required. Information is provided below on the target need and the recommendation for funding immediately ready to go projects on the adopted prioritized contingency list of projects. In addition, there is a request by the City of Seattle for an exception to the adopted procedures as applied. RECOMMENDED ACTION The Executive Board should approve a supplemental funding action to award PSRC’s FHWA funds to the list of projects as identified in Attachment 1.

DISCUSSION

PSRC has been monitoring the progress of projects awarded PSRC’s federal funds through a project tracking system first implemented in 2000. The adopted project tracking policies are designed to ensure the timely use of PSRC funds and to increase the delivery of transportation investments that support the region’s long-range plans. The project tracking program has evolved over the years to ensure successful delivery of projects by addressing issues of delayed projects and the potential risk of losing unused funding. This evolution has included responding to the new annual delivery target requirement begun in 2013 for all regions of the state. Regions must meet their

delivery target for that year’s FHWA funds or risk losing the unused portion of funds to other parts of the state. To recognize the increased emphasis on project delivery, the current project tracking policies provide a firm obligation deadline of June 1st of each year, with the possibility of a limited six-month extension to the end of the calendar year. In addition, the policies include procedures for soliciting immediately ready to go projects if necessary in any given year to achieve the target. Our region has successfully met each year’s target since 2013; however, in some years this has required supplemental funding actions. In 2019, after thorough review and evaluation by a Project Delivery Working Group and recommendation by the Transportation Policy Board, the Executive Board approved updated policies and procedures for achieving annual delivery targets and pursuing supplemental funding actions, based on current conditions and changes that have occurred over the last several years. These include the prioritized strategies listed below that would be implemented when there are not enough projects able to deliver in a given year, and additional measures need to be taken in order to meet the required annual delivery target. Strategies 1 and 2 work with projects that have already been awarded PSRC funds and can help the region meet the target with no overall increase to funding. When these strategies are exhausted, Strategies 3 through 5 would be implemented as necessary to award new funds to immediately ready to go projects.

1. Advance projects from later years 2. Exchange federal funds for local funds between phases or stages of a single

project, or between projects within the same agency

3. Fund immediately ready to go projects from the current adopted contingency lists

4. Increase the federal share of awarded projects

5. Solicit new immediately ready to go projects

In addition, the policies include an exceptions clause for evaluations on a case by case

basis of deviations from the adopted procedures. Any requested exception must meet

the following parameters:

• Phase remains fully funded

• Phase can be implemented within six months of board approval

• There is a compelling need

As indicated above, to meet the region’s 2020 delivery target, a supplemental funding action will be required. Of the projects originally programmed to deliver in 2020, 14 projects representing approximately $34 million requested and received a six-month extension; a listing of these projects is available on PSRC’s website at: https://www.psrc.org/approval-2020-extension-requests. In addition, several projects were canceled or returned funds through the project tracking program, in the amount of approximately $12 million. These factors resulted in a significant gap in meeting the 2020 target.

Over the last several months, staff has worked through each of the proposed prioritized strategies identified above. Several sponsors were able to assist the region by advancing their projects from later years into 2020, as described under strategy 1 above. In addition, two jurisdictions were able to utilize strategy 2 and exchange the federal and local funds among their previously awarded projects in order to maximize the amount of 2020 FHWA funds for delivery. With this assistance, there was still a remaining gap to meet the 2020 target, so strategy 3 – seeking immediately ready to go projects on the adopted contingency list – was then pursued. All sponsors of projects on the adopted contingency list were contacted to determine if their projects were immediately ready to go, and information was confirmed with each agency. Attachment 1 identifies the proposed supplemental funding action to immediately ready to go contingency projects, by forum. These figures are based on the amounts by funding source needed to meet the 2020 delivery target. All projects that were identified within each forum as being immediately ready to go and able to assist with delivery are recommended for funding, with two exceptions: there were more regional projects for Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) funds than were available, and the King Countywide forum also had more projects than available funding. Given the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order and the modified board and committee meeting schedules, the chairs of the Regional Project Evaluation Committee and the four countywide forums have been consulted throughout the process, and extensive outreach has been conducted with all project sponsors. In addition, these materials have also been sent to the Transportation Policy Board for its information and review. Given the recent emergency situation with the West Seattle Bridge, the City of Seattle has requested an exception to the normal procedures through a modification to a project on Attachment 1. The city is recommended to receive $3.5 million of funding on the contingency list for the “One Center City Implementation” project. The city requests that $2 million of this amount be allowed to be expended on a planning study to advance the ultimate work to replace the West Seattle Bridge. The remaining $1.5 million would be used on the One Center City project for Transportation Demand Management activities in West Seattle and downtown, consistent with the original scope of work. More information on the bridge may be found on the city’s website, at: https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs/programs/bridges-stairs-and-

other-structures/bridges/west-seattle-high-rise-bridge-safety-project.

At the May 28th meeting, the Executive Board will be asked to approve the supplemental funding action as described in Attachment 1, and to consider the modification proposed by the City of Seattle.
