Sepulveda Pass Corridor Board Report - Metropolitan ...

DETERMINATION OF SAFETY IMPACT
The action requested will have no impact on the safety of our employees or patrons
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this Project will be amended to the FY13 budget in cost center 2210, New
Business Development, under project number 460305, Sepulveda Pass Transit
Corridor. The funding is a part of the total cost estimate for this Project, and therefore
will not increase the amount of funds forecasted to be available for other projects in the
LRTP and the Measure R program. The FY13 budget also includes $500,000 in cost
center 4350, project number 460305, to complete the systems planning work. As this is
a multi-year project, it will be the responsibility of the Cost Center manager and Chief,
Real Property Management and Development to budget expenditures in future years.
Impact to Bud4et
The source of funds is PC25 Highway 3for cost center 2210, and Proposition A,
Proposition C and TDA Administration for cost center 4350. The Propositions A and C
and TDA Administration fund sources will be reimbursed according to the Board
adopted policy on reimbursement of Measure R for projects that start before they are
eligible for Measure R funds. These funds are not eligible for bus/rail operating or
capital expenses. No other budget sources are impacted by this action.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Alternatives considered included undertaking a procurement to engage another PPP
consultant team to work on the initial phases of the attached scope or using existing inhouse
resources to conduct an industry outreach and undertake all the required
technical work. These alternatives are not recommended, as (1) we anticipate it will
take approximately six months to negotiate and execute a contract with the most
qualified, experienced consultant team that is responsive to our solicitation; and (2) we
do not have the in-house resources to coordinate the complex industry outreach effort
and execute the technical requirements, nor to address all aspects of the expected
coordination that is required.
NEXT STEPS
If approved, we will return to the Board in January 2013 to request authority for
execution of a contract modification. Once authorized, the consultant will commence
assistance with industry forums, development of preliminary project development
concepts and other activities leading toward the preparation of a Request for Interest
and Information (RFIQ). If warranted by the initial technical and financial analysis, the
further steps leading to the execution of a PDA will then follow. We will return to the
Board periodically to provide an update on our progress and to recommend next steps
for this Project.
