Under ScenariosA <strong>and</strong> C, remaining revenues after debt service <strong>and</strong> O&M increase at a higher rate even though therevenue <strong>for</strong>ecasts are lower <strong>for</strong> those two scenarios. This is because there is no additionalborrowing <strong>for</strong> Phase 2 under Scenarios A <strong>and</strong> C. With the additional bonds issued in 2025 underScenarios B <strong>and</strong> D, there is additional debt service that requires more net revenues over time.Therein is the tradeoff associated with borrowing of any kind: proceeds today <strong>for</strong> reduced revenuesdownstream. This is required in order to finance the project that will produce those revenues.While revenues increase by 2050, there is increased uncertainty with those long-dated <strong>for</strong>ecast years,<strong>and</strong> those dollars are stated in nominal, inflated terms. Their present value will be much lower.Summary of Findings <strong>and</strong> Next StepsThis preliminary analysis demonstrates that Route <strong>156</strong> West Corridor Phase 1, includingconstruction of a new alignment, four-lane, Highway <strong>156</strong>, <strong>and</strong> a new interchange at Highway <strong>156</strong><strong>and</strong> Castroville Boulevard, is financially feasible. That is, in addition to the expected federal, state<strong>and</strong> local funds, the net toll revenues would be sufficient to support <strong>and</strong> repay toll revenue bonds<strong>and</strong> a TIFIA loan to finance a total of approximately $70 million in un-funded project costs <strong>for</strong>Phase 1 <strong>and</strong> pay the operations <strong>and</strong> maintenance costs.Improving operations <strong>and</strong> safety at the Highway 101 <strong>and</strong> Highway <strong>156</strong> interchange is important;however Phase 2 capital costs more than double the project costs, from $109 million to $264million, as demonstrated in Table 1. With the additional travel benefits associated with Phase 2, it isanticipated that Phase 2 (together with excess revenue from Phase 1) would generate between $66million <strong>and</strong> $95 million in net toll revenue bond proceeds <strong>for</strong> construction in 2025, depending onthe tolling plan that is used. However, this additional funding falls short of the Phase 2 fundingrequirements which are, approximately $155 million.As noted throughout this analysis, this is a preliminary <strong>and</strong> “sketch-level” financial feasibilityanalysis. Going <strong>for</strong>ward, TAMC in collaboration with Caltrans may wish to refine the traffic <strong>and</strong>revenue analysis. New results from that analysis will provide a more detailed <strong>and</strong> robust set offinancial results. As new in<strong>for</strong>mation becomes available, PFM will be pleased to update <strong>and</strong> refinethis feasibility analysis <strong>and</strong> prepare a plan of finance associated with project delivery.
