BOARD MEMORANDUM

TO: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority

Administration & Finance Committee

THROUGH: General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez

FROM: Chief Financial Officer, Raj Srinath

SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2018 Statement of Revenues and Expenses for the Period Ending

December 31, 2017

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

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommend that the VTA Board of Directors review and accept the Fiscal Year 2018 Statement

of Revenues and Expenses for the period ending December 31, 2017.

DISCUSSION:

This memorandum provides a brief discussion of significant items and trends on the attached

Statement of Revenues and Expenses through December 31, 2017. The schedule has been

designed to follow the same company-wide line item rollup as included in the adopted budget.

The columns have been designed to provide an easy comparison of actual to budget activities for

the current fiscal year including year-to-date dollar and percentage variances from budget. The

current staff projections of Revenues and Expenses for Fiscal Year 2018 are also included.

The following are highlights of the current Statement of Revenues and Expenses:

Revenues

Fiscal year-to-date Total Revenues (line 14) are $6.3M lower than budget estimates primarily

due to the delay in recording of revenues from 2016 Measure B (line 6). These funds are

currently held in escrow until the outcome of pending litigation. Additional negative variances

are attributed to Sales Tax based accounts, including 1976 Half-Cent Sales Tax (line 3) and

Measure A Sales Tax Operating Assistance (line 5), which are recorded through December based

on estimates. Final second quarter actual sales tax collections will be available in mid-March.

Page 2 of 3

Sales Tax Based Revenue, including 1976 Half-Cent Sales Tax (line 3) and Measure A Sales Tax

Operating Assistance (line 5), accounted for a collective negative variance of $0.9M.

Expenses

Overall, Fiscal year-to-date Total Expenses (line 44) were $9.1M under budget driven primarily

by favorable variances in Materials & Supplies (line 16), Security (line 17), Professional &

Special Services (line 18), Other Services (line 19), Reimbursements (line 31), and Paratransit

(line 33). This was partially offset by a negative variance in Labor (line 15).

Materials & Supplies (line 16), Professional & Special Services (line 18) and Other Services

(line 19) reflect favorable variances of $0.9M, $2.3M and $0.9M, respectively due primarily to

timing of planned activities.

Security (line 17) shows a favorable variance of $1.5M due to deferred security ramp-up and

contract staff vacancies.

Reimbursements (line 31) has a positive variance of $3.5M due primarily to efforts related to the

Light Rail Vehicle fleet mid-life overhaul.

Paratransit (line 33) shows a favorable balance of $1.7M largely due to fewer rides provided than

were assumed in the budget and the delayed move to its new location in the Eastridge

neighborhood of San Jose.

A negative variance of $3.5M in Labor (line 15) is largely the result of overtime costs for bus

and light rail maintenance.

Projections

Current staff projections for the fiscal year reflect a negative Operating Balance (line 45) of

$1.6M. This decrease over the budgeted Operating Balance is due primarily to higher than

anticipated State Transit Assistance (STA) revenues as a result of the State’s recent adoption of

SB1 - The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The projection further assumes the

pending litigation regarding 2016 Measure B will be resolved and the related year-end actual

revenue will align with budgeted estimates.

Under Expenditures, the projections reflect that current trends in Security, Fuel, Traction Power,

Insurance, Reimbursements, and Paratransit will continue to some extent and result in positive

variances at year end. Lastly, a positive variance is projected in Labor due to the delayed service

expansion tied to the extension of BART to San Jose.

SUMMARY:

Through the first six months of the year, revenues were $6.3M below budgeted projections and

expenses were $9.1M below budget estimates, for an overall positive variance of revenues over

expenses (line 45) of $2.8M. Current staff projections for the fiscal year reflect a negative

Operating Balance of $1.6M, which would be funded from Sales Tax Stabilization and Operating

Reserves. Staff will continue to monitor expenditure levels and provide updated projections

throughout the year.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action.

BOARD MEMORANDUM

TO: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority

Administration & Finance Committee

THROUGH: General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez

FROM: Chief Operating Officer, Inez Evans

SUBJECT: Light Rail Coupler Parts Contract

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

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommend that the VTA Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to execute a sole

source contract with Dellner Inc., in an amount up to $1,795,738 to procure the components

needed for the overhaul of 173 couplers on VTA’s fleet of Light Rail Vehicles.

BACKGROUND:

VTA owns, operates and maintains a fleet of 99 Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) manufactured by the

Kinkisharyo Corporation in 2001. The LRVs consist of mechanical, electrical and pneumatic

coupler assemblies (hereinafter, “couplers”) at each end of the LRV that were originally

manufactured by Dellner, Inc. Including spare coupler units, VTA has 208 couplers. VTA has

determined that the couplers, which are in excess of 15 years old, have reached their mid-life

stage and are in need of a complete overhaul and refurbishment, including preventative

replacement of certain components and replacement or refurbishment of parts that may show

damage or excessive wear. The coupler overhaul program seeks to bring the coupler back to like-

new manufacturer specifications and functional performance.

As part of this refurbishment and overhaul, various parts, hardware, and components will be

disassembled, inspected, tested, reassembled, function tested and quality assurance verified as a

complete coupler assembly ready to be installed onto a VTA LRV. VTA has already procured

the necessary parts for the overhaul of 35 of the 208 couplers. This contract is for parts and

fasteners required to overhaul the remaining 173 of VTA’s 208 couplers.

The coupler components in this contract include bearings, and other specialized components that

are only available through Dellner, Inc., the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the

6

Page 2 of 2

coupler. The coupler is considered a safety-critical component, and purchase of the coupler

components from the OEM is the best course of action to ensure compatibility, reliability and

safety.

DISCUSSION:

The overhaul program is required to protect the large investment VTA has made in the light rail

vehicles so that VTA may continue to provide safe and reliable transportation to our patrons.

VTA is also required to have a comprehensive maintenance program as directed by the

California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).

All light rail transit systems in the State of California are required to operate their LRVs in

properly maintained and safe working condition as documented in the systems' approved

operating rules and procedures, which includes processes for mid-life rehabilitation of the LRV

fleet. The couplers are included in the mid-life overhaul rehabilitation program.

VTA has adopted the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance program into its internal

procedures. Replacing the key components of the LRV’s coupler system ensures that these

vehicles will operate in optimal condition for the remaining years of their expected useful lives.

Many of the coupler components specified in this contract are manufactured to order. As such,

the lead time from procurement to product delivery may be many months. It is therefore crucial

that this contract is executed in a timely manner to minimize lead times.

ALTERNATIVES:

As these parts are only available through Dellner, Inc., there are no practical alternatives to

purchasing these components from another vendor.

SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (SBE) PARTICIPATION:

Based on the limited scope of work and no subcontracting opportunities, no specific goal has

been established by the Office of Business Diversity Programs for this contract. Contractor is

encouraged to make reasonable efforts to meet VTA’s SBE overall annual goal of 19 percent in

its procurement of ancillary services and products associated with the performance of this

contract.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will authorize up to $1,795,738 to procure parts and fasteners for the coupler

overhaul. Appropriation for this contract is included in the FY18-FY19 Adopted VTA Transit

Fund Operating Budget.

SUBJECT: Amend the Rail Rehabilitation (Phase 6) and Crossovers & Interlockings

Contract (C16189F)

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

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommend that the VTA Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to amend the Rail

Rehabilitation (Phase 6) and Crossovers & Interlockings Contract (C16189F) with DMZ Transit

(Joint Venture) by an amount of $1,100,000 for additional signal work, increasing the total contract

amount to $9,713,750.

BACKGROUND:

On February 2, 2017, the VTA Board of Directors authorized execution of a contract with DMZ

Transit (Joint Venture) in the amount of $6,891,000 for the construction of the Rail Rehabilitation

(Phase 6) and Crossovers & Interlockings Contract (C16189F). See Exhibit A for a list of sub-

contractors on the DMZ Transit Team.

This contract is part of an ongoing capital rail replacement, rehabilitation, maintenance and

improvement 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, including switch machines and signaling

work.

DISCUSSION:

With the expected opening of BART to Berryessa this summer, VTA staff has updated the light

rail operating plan showing increased service to meet the anticipated increased ridership

demands from BART and the implementation of the Next Network. This plan includes

significant service changes on the Tasman East light rail segment with decreased headways and

increased capacity, especially during event service with the BART connection at the Montague

light rail platform. This operating plan results in the need to increase capacity by performing

specific light rail track improvements prior to the opening of the new BART service.

Two of the most critical improvements needed to increase capacity are;

1. Upgrade the existing signal system on the aerial structure to Automatic Block Signaling

(ABS) to facilitate train movements through the area of congestion and eliminate the

current chokepoint at that location.

2. Upgrade an existing manual switch at Hostetter to automatic power switch to allow more

flexibility for turning trains around and other train movements.

This work is highly specialized and the improvements need to be completed and operational by

mid-June 2018. The DMZ (JV) team is qualified and has the appropriate specialties to perform

this work, in particular the signaling expertise of the joint venture. The team is currently

performing very similar work on the VTA light rail system through this contract and is already

mobilized with the resources to complete this work in time for the BART opening.

Administration & Finance Committee

THROUGH: General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez

FROM: Chief Financial Officer, Raj Srinath

SUBJECT: Joint Development Developer RFP’s for San Jose Signature Review Sites

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

ACTION ITEM

RECOMMENDATION:

Recommend that the VTA Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to issue

competitive developer Request for Proposals (RFP) for Joint Development (JD) at the Blossom

Hill, Ohlone/Chynoweth, and Curtner JD sites, consistent with VTA’s Joint Development Policy.

BACKGROUND:

The Blossom Hill, Ohlone/Chynoweth and Curtner JD sites are located in the City of San Jose, within General Plan-designated Urban Villages. The General Plan places them in Horizon 2, which has an undetermined timeframe for implementation. The City of San Jose allows for expedited development of sites within Urban Village Plans through its Signature Review process, and the City’s Planning Department has provided VTA with information on requirements for these sites to be eligible for Signature Review. This would involve an increased amount of ground floor commercial uses to meet the minimum square footage identified by the City, in return the City would allow residential units for the creation of a mixed-use project.

Attachment A details the location of Blossom Hill, Ohlone/Chynoweth and Curtner JD sites in the region and the local area. These sites were originally acquired and constructed to serve as Park and Ride lots for the Guadalupe Corridor project. The Ohlone/Chynoweth Station includes VTA’s first Joint Development Project, done through a long-term ground lease with Eden Housing, Inc. for 194 affordable housing units.

Both Blossom Hill and Curtner Park and Ride lots are significantly underutilized, while the Ohlone/Chynoweth Park and Ride lot has a moderate level of transit rider usage. VTA Staff (staff) will identify and propose Transportation Demand Management strategies for any future JD projects.

Page 2 of 2

DISCUSSION:

Staff held a series of community meetings in January 2018 for each location to hear from the neighborhood on its future vision for the site. Overall, public feedback was positive toward the idea of TOD in their neighborhoods. Many attendees desire improvements to station access to address safety concerns. Other general items of concern included parking, way finding, and nearby homeless activity. Staff also contacted the City Council member’s office for each of the three sites to discuss the site and potential opportunities and challenges for a JD project.

The developer RFP’s will state that VTA seeks to enter into a long-term ground lease, with payments based on the fair market value of the site. Developers will design, finance, build and operate a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) consistent with the City of San Jose’s Envision 2040 General Plan and Signature Review/Urban Village Plan framework. The RFP’s will require that any residential use must provide that at least 20 percent of residential units be affordable units, pursuant to VTA’s Affordable Housing Policy set forth in the Joint Development Policy.

The RFP’s would be issued through the spring and summer of 2018 to facilitate marketing the opportunities to the largest potential pool of market-rate and affordable housing developers.

Staff will evaluate RFP submittals and submit a recommendation to the Board of Directors for an Exclusive Negotiations Agreement (ENA) for each site. Staff will then work with the selected developer for each site, the local community, and the City to refine the proposed project to maximize its benefits. This would include the final size of the JD project, its location and site plan, and how the project would support current transit usage and future ridership growth.

The selected developers would be responsible for taking the lead in working with the local community and obtaining final entitlements from the City of San Jose, subject to VTA approval of the application to the City and the final project. Compared to prior JD projects, staff is not seeking to obtain full entitlements prior to RFP issuance and instead intends to use the developer’s expertise in obtaining entitlements. This approach is expected to facilitate more efficient and direct engagement with all parties, and shorten the overall entitlement timeline as well as potentially reduce entitlement costs.

ALTERNATIVES:

The Board could provide additional guidance for RFP’s requirements, or identify another timeframe to issuance of the RFP’s.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Expenses associated with issuance of an RFP will be paid from the Joint Development Fund.

Based on the current fair market value of land in the area, a future JD project pursuant to a

ground lease would be expected to generate substantial new annual revenues.

BOARD MEMORANDUM

TO: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority

Administration & Finance Committee

THROUGH: General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez

FROM: Chief Financial Officer, Raj Srinath

SUBJECT: Formulation of a Joint Development Replacement Parking Policy

FOR INFORMATION ONLY

BACKGROUND:

VTA’s Joint Development (JD) Portfolio contains 25 properties that the VTA Board has

designated as priority sites for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) projects with the goal of

generating revenues, increasing ridership, and catalyzing transit-oriented communities. All of

these sites, except for two, consist of Park and Ride lots, and it is envisioned that JD projects

would be built on a portion of each of these lots, consistent with local plans and zoning.

Parking is a significantly underutilized resource at VTA. VTA has a total of 7,525 parking stalls

located at JD Park and Ride lots. Less than 3,800 of those spaces are actively used as of October

2017. (Attachment A contains a breakdown by station.).

Transit agency experience throughout the US has shown that the cost of 100% replacement of

parking spaces used for JD projects is one of the largest impediments to the feasibility of JD

projects, with the potential to prevent projects and eliminate revenue generation.

Previous committee discussions have highlighted the need for further evaluation of how to create

optimal JD projects that reduce the need for replacement parking, while at the same time

ensuring that VTA maintains sufficient parking to accommodate current and future transit riders.

This includes ensuring that VTA can accommodate future desired growth in rail transit riders.

A VTA replacement parking policy would provide guidance for County residents, local agencies,

developers, transportation planners, and others on how to best manage the dual objectives of

creating JD projects, including affordable housing, while supporting future ridership growth.

Page 2 of 3

DISCUSSION:

Staff, working with a multi-disciplinary development and transportation planning consultant

team has conducted research to assess both opportunities and constraints to developing JD sites

on a portfolio wide and individual site basis. This includes evaluation of current and future

parking demand and supply. Parking demand is dynamic, and varies by station location, as well

as transit service (e.g. stations where there is both VTA light rail and Caltrain service). Riders of

commuter shuttles are increasingly utilizing VTA Park and Ride lots, which is a consideration

pursuant to the Commuter Shuttle Policy recently adopted by the Board of Directors.

Given these considerations, any replacement parking policy should provide flexibility to

accommodate unique conditions on a site-by-site basis, while at the same time establishing a

consistent process for evaluating parking demand and the parking supply that need to be

provided for transit riders and residents and workers in JD projects.

Another consideration is a generational and cultural shift already underway in individual car

usage, and the impact of Transportation Network Companies (Uber, Lyft, etc.); car sharing

services; and increased uses of other modes of transportation. For example, garage operators in

San Francisco report a decrease of 10% to 25% in parking demand over the past few years due to

these factors.

Research on other agency practices for JD replacement parking and Transportation Demand

Management (TDM), including BART; Portland TriMet; LA Metro; Washington, DC WMATA;

and King County, WA Metro has highlighted a range of best practices and strategies for

replacement parking. These include:

Developing clear station access goals and priorities for all modes of transportation

(pedestrian, bicycle, carpool, private vehicle, etc.);

Shared parking for use by transit riders and occupants of JD projects;

Use of paid parking and parking pricing to shift demand;

Coordination with Transportation Network Company (TNC’s) and car share solutions to

address first and last mile challenges;

Station specific analysis, coordinated with local jurisdictions, to address the specific

station area context, transit ridership goals, and provide cost-benefit analysis;

Encouragement of no parking minimums by local jurisdictions; and

Replacement parking standards established on a site by site basis, with evaluation of

ridership gains from JD projects as well as excess parking capacity, to determine project-

specific replacement parking requirements.

The chart on the following page summarizes how various agencies use different replacement

parking and TDM tools:

Staff will provide a presentation at the meeting that provides additional examples and insight into

considerations related to replacement parking, TDM, and provision of parking to meet future

transit needs. Some of the topics for discussion could include:

Station area access priorities (pedestrian, bicycle, carpool, private vehicle, etc.);

Framework for analyzing tradeoffs between JD replacement parking and transit ridership;

Considerations for implementation of paid parking; and

Other policy or local factors that will need to be addressed.

Discussion with the Advisory Committees will be used to inform and shape staff’s preparation of

a draft JD replacement parking policy to be added to VTA’s Joint Development Policy. Such a

draft policy would be presented as an action item to the Advisory and Standing Committees prior

to final consideration by the Board of Directors.

SUBJECT: Monthly Investment Report - December 2017

FOR INFORMATION ONLY

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 2.6 percent in the fourth

quarter of 2017, according to the "advance" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic

Analysis. The increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter reflected positive contributions from

personal consumption expenditures (PCE), nonresidential fixed investment, exports, residential

fixed investment, state, local and federal government spending. In the third quarter, real GDP

increased 3.2 percent.

Headline consumer prices, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI), rose 2.1% year over

year as of December 2017. Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices increased

at a rate of 1.8% year over year as of December 2017. The Federal Reserve continues to target an

inflation rate of 2.00%.

The unemployment rate in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA was 2.7% in December

2017, unchanged from a revised 2.7% in November 2017, and below the year-ago estimate of

3.4%. This compares with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 4.2% for California and 3.9% for

the nation during the same period.

Board Meeting: N/A

BOARD MEMORANDUM

TO: Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority

Administration & Finance Committee

THROUGH: General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez

FROM: Chief Financial Officer, Raj Srinath

SUBJECT: Update on the Metropolitan transportation Commission (MTC) Means Based

Fare Study

FOR INFORMATION ONLY

BACKGROUND:

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) continues to explore options to implement

a regional means based fare program. They have identified up to $8.0 million in SB1 - Regional

Population based funds as a potential source of funds to cover the anticipated administrative

costs and a portion of the fare revenues lost by the transit operators. VTA staff had provided a

preliminary update to the Board of Directors on December 7, 2017 highlighting the potential fare

revenue impact to VTA of up to $14 million per year.

VTA currently offers discounted monthly passes to low income individuals through the Transit

Assistance Program and quarterly passes to homeless and at risk of homeless individuals through

the UPLIFT program with the County of Santa Clara.

DISCUSSION:

At a meeting of transit operators’ staff in January 2018, MTC staff shared a proposed framework

for a regional means based fare program which continues to be in development. MTC’s proposal

at the current time is to initiate a pilot program with the following attributes:

The program will be a pilot program designed to assess usage and cost

Initial participants will be BART, Caltrain, SFMTA, and Golden Gate Transit

Discount will be available on Clipper only

Operators offer a minimum discount of 20%

Administrative costs are expected to be $1.5-2.0 million per year

MTC will make available $8 million per year from SB1 - population based funds

Operators to cover remaining costs/revenue loss

The program will be subject to cancellation if SB1 is repealed

Program could start in 2019

If VTA elects to participate in the program, VTA could experience lost fare revenues up to $14

million. VTA’s share of the funds available from MTC will be low as BART and SFMTA are

expected to get the bulk of the funds in proportion to their revenue loss.

If VTA elects to not participate in the program, VTA will not receive any funds allocated for this

program.
