San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency Recommendation:
Authorize the chief executive officer (CEO) to execute a contract with Koff & Associates for consulting services to conduct a salary grade classification study in the amount not to exceed $5,922.
BACKGROUND:
In June 2014, the Boards approved the annual budget for Fiscal Year 2015, which included discussion and direction to conduct a salary grade classification study. The last classification study was conducted in 2007, with the exception of a 2% adjustment to salary grades in FY15, the last time salary grades were adjusted was 2008. This study will provide TCA salary data to keep our salary structure competitive with the external labor market which is critical to attracting and hiring top talent, as well as with retaining our current employees.
DISCUSSION:
The overall objective of the classification study is to review the TCA’s salary structure and practices against comparative entities in both the public and private sector and develop compensation recommendations that will assist TCA with recruiting, motivating and retaining key staff. This study in itself does not affect individual salaries; however, it will provide guidance and recommendation in regard to individual positions within TCA salary grades as well as current salary grades as they compare to the public and private labor sector.
A simplified procurement was conducted in December 2014, where three firms were identified for their expertise in compensation consulting services. Unfortunately, due to timing and schedule, none of these three firms submitted a proposal. Staff issued a second request for proposal in January with revised timing and schedule. The RFP was advertised on the TCA’s website and mailed to sixteen firms. Two proposals were received. The proposals were evaluated by Michael Kraman, chief executive officer, Amy Potter, chief financial officer and Sherri McKaig, manager, human resources and administration. The proposal results are as follows:
The objectives of the classification study include:
• Recommending a list of appropriate comparator agencies and benchmark classifications to be collected prior to beginning the compensation portion of the study;
• Collecting accurate salary data from the approved group of comparator agencies;
• Reviewing TCA’s compensation structure and practices and develop compensation recommendations;
• Providing a summary of the organization structure of each of the comparator agencies, identify similarities and differences to TCA; and
• Recommending appropriate internal salary relationships and allocate classes to salary ranges in a comprehensive salary range plan;
The scope of work includes:
• Conducting an orientation to explain the process and methodology; create the specific work plan and schedule, as well as gathering documentation such as organizational charts and job descriptions.
• Identifying appropriate comparator in the public and private sector that will be included in the external market survey, which will be the foundation of ensuring that TCA’s salaries are competitively aligned with the external market place.
• Conducting a competitive pay analysis using the market data to determine recommendations which will include illustrating the relationships between current pay practices and the newly determined market conditions and develop solutions to address pay equity issues, the financial impact of addressing pay equity issues and create an implementation strategy supporting TCA’s goals and budget considerations.

Review of the analysis, findings and recommendations would be brought to the Joint Compensation Ad Hoc Committee and then to the Boards for discussion and approval.
BUDGET:
Funding is included in the FY15 and proposed FY16 budgets. CONCLUSION:
Staff is recommending that Koff & Associates be awarded a contract to conduct a Salary Grade Classification Study for approximately sixty job positions within fourteen salary grades. This study will provide TCA salary data to keep our salary structure competitive with the public and private labor market.

San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agency Recommendation
3. Authorize the chief executive officer (CEO) to award Contract K000995 to Stantec Consulting Services (Stantec) to conduct an Average Vehicle Occupancy Monitoring Program (AVO) on the 73 Toll Road at a cost not-to-exceed $4,500.
4. Authorize the CEO to make additional changes deemed necessary and execute future amendments within ten percent ($450.00) of the above contract without further action by the Board of Directors.
BACKGROUND:
In 1991, SCAG and the Foothill/Eastern and San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) entered into an MOU that mandated a performance standard based upon an AVO and construction of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in order to be included in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP), which was the capital improvement program to implement the SCAG’s Regional Mobility Plan (RMP). Today, the successor documents are called the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) and Regional Transportation Plan (RTP).
AVO is calculated by recording the average number of occupants per vehicle. Since 1991, the SCAG/TCA MOU has been amended several times to reflect changing circumstances. For example, the Air Quality Management Plan was amended in l996 to remove the regional 1.5 AVO requirement. TCA and SCAG subsequently modified the SCAG/TCA MOU to require The Toll Roads to achieve the same AVO as comparable free facilities with free HOV lanes in the same geographic area. AVO monitoring is now conducted annually to establish The Toll Roads' performance and submitted as an annual report to SCAG for their review and concurrence.
DISCUSSION:
A request for proposals (RFP) for the AVO Monitoring Program was issued on February 17, 2015. Staff solicited bids from 47 firms through advertising on the TCA website and industry publications. At the close of the invitation, one proposal was received from Stantec. Staff contacted various non-respondents to inquire why no proposal was submitted. Ten of the non- respondents stated that the required work was not their expertise, three passed the RFP onto partner firms that they thought had the qualifications, two would have subcontracted the work and the remaining either did not work in the region or wanted to meet with TCA staff in advance of the RFP being released.
The sole respondent, Stantec, is among the largest national transportation engineering firms with decades of experience in traffic engineering and operation. The team assembled for this contract consists of well qualified personnel with AVO monitoring experience and familiarity with TCA requirements. Staff is recommending the award of a four year contract to Stantec based on the team’s qualifications, the consultant’s experience conducting AVO programs, and a proven record of delivering reports on time and within budget. Staff reviewed the cost proposal and found it to be fair and reasonable. Annual costs for each agency are as follows:
AGENCY FY15 Costs FY16 Costs FY17 Costs FY18 Costs
F/ETCA $1,200 $1,000 $1,050 $1,250
SJHTCA $1,200 $1,000 $1,050 $1,250

Staff presented the project’s history and status to the Joint Environmental Ad-Hoc Committee on April 16, 2015. Initiation of the AVO counts on the 133, 261, portions of the 241 and the 73 Toll Roads, and comparable facility is anticipated to begin in early June before summer recess.
BUDGET:
Funding for Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 work has been included in the adopted budget. Any work subsequent to June 30, will be included in the proposed FY 2016 budget.
CONCLUSION:
The Foothill/Eastern and San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agencies entered into a MOU with SCAG to conduct an annual AVO program on the 133, 261, portions of the 241 and the 73 Toll Roads. The collected data is then compared to the AVO on existing free facilities with free HOV lanes to evaluate whether the AVO on the priced transportation corridors are comparable to free facilities. The monitoring is conducted each year in early June prior to summer recess with an annual report submitted to SCAG in the fall. To maintain compliance with the MOU, staff recommends the Board authorize the CEO to award Contract K000995 to Stantec at a cost not-to- exceed $9,000.

Contract #: K000995
Title: Average Vehicle Occupancy Monitoring Recommend Award To: Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.
Procurement Process
Type: Request for Proposal Award Criteria: Best Qualified
Negotiated Price: $9,000
Vendor Sourcing: In February 2015, staff solicited bids from 47 firms to provide Average Vehicle Occupancy Monitoring services. The targeted firms were a result of advertising on the Agency’s website and research into similar procurements by other agencies. Only one firm, Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (“Consultant”), submitted a proposal on March 19, 2015. Proposal Results: The Agency’s evaluation committee for this procurement determined that the Consultant’s qualifications met the requirements in order to perform the services as stated in the RFP.
Contract Notes:
• Compensation will be a Not-to-Exceed (NTE) Amount inclusive of all costs of providing the services and all fees, taxes and out-of-pocket expenses required to complete the Agreement. Both 2015 and 2018 require additional SR-55 monitoring, which is reflected in the higher NTE Amounts for those two years.
• The contract contains standard indemnification language previously approved by legal counsel.

BACKGROUND:
TCA has, over the years, implemented an extensive list of programs for the environment in association with the approvals and construction of the 73, 133, 241 and 261 Toll Roads. The programs include conserving and restoring 16 locations in Orange County to protect native wildlife and habitat. TCA has been an active participant and contributor to the Central/Coastal Sub region Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP), a reserve created to set aside 38,783 acres of prime habitat in Orange County for 42 individual species. TCA contributed its mitigation sites to the reserve and provided $6.6 million of a $10 million endowment, which funds the ongoing management.
TCA has introduced a number of environmental programs over the years including:
BonitaCreekClassroom.com – an interactive website developed to educate students about water quality, habitat conservation and local wildlife utilizing the Bonita Creek wetland and riparian mitigation site located near Newport Beach. Free workshops have been held for local science teachers about how they can integrate the website materials into their classroom curriculum.
Upper Chiquita Conservation Area – 1,158 acres set aside near Coto de Caza for native habitat restoration and conservation. The area is used for scientific study including a USGS Reptile Survey and Mountain Lion Study with UC Davis.
Live Oak Conservation Area – TCA acquired this 23.2 acre site, which was zoned for commercial development, in 2005. The area near Cooks Corner serves as an important wildlife link to the Cleveland National Forest and provides habitat for a number of sensitive animal species.
Strawberry Farms – In 2010, TCA obtained the exclusive restoration rights to a 15-acre site located within the City of Irvine Open Space Reserve. TCA is in the process of restoring this previously grazed property back to its native coastal sage scrub and cactus habitat. This site is an important wildlife link within the Coastal Reserve of the NCCP.
Cactus Restoration and Enhancement Project – In partnership with the Nature Reserve of Orange County (NROC) and the University of California, Irvine, TCA was awarded a grant for restoring and enhancing habitat for the coastal cactus wren, a small bird. The project included planting cactus in a habitat corridor used by the federally threatened California gnatcatcher along the wildlife linkage area that parallels the 73 Toll Road. The cactus wren population has declined more than 80 percent within the coastal and central NCCP areas since the mid-1990’s, and the grant was designed to create additional habitat to expand the current population.
Air Quality and Sustainable Communities Strategy – The Toll Roads were designed to utilize “free flow” conditions to reduce congestion that would otherwise emit excess greenhouse gas emissions caused by traffic congestion and idling. Driving efficiently utilizes less fuel and the less fuel that is used means less emissions go into our environment resulting in cleaner air. The Joint Environmental Ad Hoc Committee requested that staff develop a plan to increase awareness of the agencies’ environmental commitment and efforts. The communications plan focuses on the agencies’ wildlife protection programs, storm water runoff and water quality programs, and sustainability efforts.
To support implementation of the environmental communications program requested by the Joint Environmental Ad Hoc Committee, a Request for Proposal was issued for freelance technical
