STAFF REPORT
Subject:
Resolution approving Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement for Professional Services with
Transtech Engineers, Inc. to provide Program Management Services for the Santa Fe Depot
Structure Project (GB04-19) formerly referred to as the Santa Fe Depot Parking Structure.
Background:
On November 7, 2005, the Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution No. 2005-370
approving an Agreement for Professional Services with Transtech Engineers, Inc. in the amount of
$586,000 to provide program management services for the Santa Fe Depot Structure Project
(GB04-19). The term of the Agreement was for a period of 36 months, but it can be extended
upon written agreement with both parties.
On December 17, 2007 the Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution No. 2007-477
approving amendment No. I to the Agreement for Professional Services with Transtech Engineers,
Inc. increasing the contract amount by $10,225 for the purpose of designing the relocation of a
waterline for the Santa Fe Depot Structure Project.
Caltrans recently imposed a requirement on the environmental process to provide an Air Quality
Analysis and Report. Staff protested the requirement because the project will obviously contribute
to improvements in air quality and the report would be an unnecessary expense. However, Caltrans
has refused to process the project further until the air quality analysis and report is approved by
their environmental section.
Transtech has provided a proposal to obtain the Air Quality Analysis and Report and coordinate
submittal to Caltrans for a fee of $14,200.20. The specialty firm of Mestre Greve Associates will
perform the work under subconsultant contract with Transtech Engineers. Transtech Engineers
will be responsible for managing and coordinating the work of Mestre Greve Associates.
The original agreement with Transtech Engineers, Inc. expires on November 7, 2008. Transtech's
services will continue to be needed through the design and bidding process that is planned to be
completed by June 30, 2009. Therefore, staff recommends that the Agreement with Transtech
Engineers, Inc. be extended to June 30, 2009.
Additionally, Transtech's contract calls for them to perform Program Management duties during
the construction phase of the project. An additional extension of time to Transtech's Agreement
will be considered at the time of Contract award. Based on the current schedule, construction is
anticipated to commence by July 1,2009 and be completed by June 30, 2010.

Subject: Proposal to Prepare Air Quality Analysis for the Proposed Metrolink
Additional Parking Structure Project in the City of San Bernardino
Dear Mr. Ackerman:
Mestre Greve Associates is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare the air quality analysis
for the Metrolink Parking Structure in the City of San Bernardino. The project proposes a five-
level parking structure to serve the Metrolink Station at the Santa Fe Depot location, which
will include construction of reinforced concrete, 11,354 square foot parking structure
accommodating approximately 350 vehicles. The project includes lighting, fire safety,
elevators, and ADA access facilities, on-site landscaping, concrete sidewalks; and driveway
access to and from Metrolink Station at 1170 West 3" Street.
Mestre Greve Associates, a professional engineering firm incorporated in 1981, is committed
to improving quality of life by providing its clients with the means to ensure that air quality
levels and noise are within acceptable community limits. We have completed several air
quality assessments for Caltrans. The air quality assessment requirements have changed
substantially in the last few years. A firm that is not up to date with the Caltrans requirements
will waste time and money in preparing the necessary documents. Mestre Greve Associates
has 'been very active in recent years preparing air quality studies for Caltrans projects. Recent
projects include the 1-405 HOV Lane Addition through the Sepulveda Pass, the 1-405/SR-IOl
Interchange Modification, and the 1-215/SR-74lnterchange.
The project will be utilizing Federal Aid funds, and therefore, are subject to the Transportation
Conformity Requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act as weH as NEP A and CEQA. The Air
Quality Technical Report will be prepared to satisfy these requirements per Caltrans and
FHW A guidance. In addition to the Air Quality Technical Report, we will prepare and submit
the documentation required to obtain a determination that the project is not a Project of Air
Quality Concern (POAQC) from the SCAG Transportation Working Group (TCWG) and the
documentation required for the Project Level Conformity Determination as described below.
The foHowing Scope of Work is proposed:

Scope of Work
Task 1 - SCAG TCWG POAQC Determination
Based on FHWAlEPA guidance on Particulate Matter (PMIO and PM2.s) hot-spot impacts, it
appears that the project is not considered a POAQC and will not require an analysis of
potential PM hot-spot impacts. This determination must be confirmed by SeAG's TCWa.
The TeWa has developed a form that must be completed with applicable project data.
Projects are considered at their monthly meeting (fourth Tuesday of each month) and
determinations are made. We will prepare and submit the required form to the TCWa and be
available via telephone during their meeting to respond to any questions. Our costs, presented
below assume that the project will be found to not be a POAQC. If this is not confirmed by the
Tcwa we will discuss with you the best way to proceed.
Task 2 - Air Quality Technical Report
An air quality technical report will be prepared with the following content. The existing air
environment will be described in terms of meteorology, local topography affecting pollutant
dispersion, and ambient air monitoring data. A summary of current air management efforts
and regulations. which may be related to the proposed project. will be identifIed. Sensitive
receptor areas within the project vicinity will be identified. As a signalization project, the
project is exempt from the Regional Transportation Conformity Requirements but is still
subject to the analysis of local "hot-spot" impacts. The potential for the project to result in a
local CO hot-spot impact will be addressed per the Caltrans eo Protocol. The fact that the
project is not a POAQC and will not result in a local PM hot-spot impact will be discussed.
Mobile Source Air Toxic (MSAT) impacts will be discussed based on the guidance published
by the FHWA at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environmentlairtoxic/020306guidmem.htm.
Potential impacts due to Diesel Particulate Matter and Naturally Occurring Asbestos will be
discussed as well.
Task 3 - Air Quality Conformity Documentation
As part of the SAFETY -LV NEPA delegation, Caltrans must request an air quality conformity
determination from the FHW A separate from the environmental review process. The FHW A
has prepared a checklist for Section 6004 projects that will be completed and submitted with
the air quality technical report. We will complete the checklist and provide the necessary
supporting documentation.

required four build altematives, and one no-build alternative to be enalyzed. The initial report
analyzed and idenllfied the affected environment, permanent impacts, temporary impacts,
cumulative impacts and mitigation measures of each of the five design alternallves along the
proposed realignment alternatives, the freeway remps, and up to five intersections in the
immediate study area for the project. The consultant recently met and worked with Caltrans'
Headquarters, FHWA and district staff, and with the appropriate regulatory agencies to
resolve all conformity and air quality planning issues.

Subject: Proposal to Prepare Air Quality Analysis for the Proposed Metrolink
Additional Parking Structure Project in the City of San Bernardino
Dear Mr. Ackerman:
Mestre Greve Associates is pleased to submit this proposal to prepare the air quality analysis
for the Metrolink Parking Structure in the City of San Bernardino. The project proposes a five-
level parking structure to serve the Metrolink Station at the Santa Fe Depot location, which
will include construction of reinforced concrete, 11,354 square foot parking structure
accommodating approximately 350 vehicles. The project includes lighting, fire safety.
elevators, and ADA access facilities, on-site landscaping, concrete sidewalks; and driveway
access to and from Metrolink Station at 1170 West 3'" Street.
Mestre Greve Associates, a professional engineering firm incorporated in 1981, is committed
to improving quality of life by providing its clients with the means to ensure that air quality
levels and noise are within acceptable community limits. We have completed several air
quality assessments for Caltrans. The air quality assessment requirements have changed
substantially in the last few years. A fIrm that is not up to date with the Caltrans requirements
will waste time and money in preparing the necessary documents. Mestre Greve Associates
has been very active in recent years preparing air quality studies for Caltrans projects. Recent
projects include the 1-405 HOV Lane Addition through the Sepulveda Pass. the 1-405/SR-IOI
Interchange Modification, and the 1-215/SR-74 Interchange.
The project will be utilizing Federal Aid funds, and therefore, are subject to the Transportation
Conformity Requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act as well as NEPA and CEQA. The Air
Quality Technical Report will be prepared to satisfy these requirements per Caltrans and
FHW A guidance. In addition to the Air Quality Technical Report, we will prepare and submit
the documentation required to obtain a determination that the project is not a Project of Air
Quality Concern (POAQC) from the SCAG Transportation Working Group (TCWG) and the
documentation required for the Project Level Conformity Determination as described below.
The following Scope of Work is proposed:

Scope of Work
Task 1 - SCAG TCWG POAQC Determination
Based on FHWAlEPA guidance on Particulate Matter (PM,. and PM2.5) hot-spot impacts, it
appears that the project is not considered a POAQC and will not require an analysis of
potential PM hot-spot impacts. This determination must be confirmed by SCAG's TCWG.
The TCWG has developed a form that must be completed with applicable project data.
Projects are considered at their monthly meeting (fourth Tuesday of each month) and
determinations are made. We will prepare and submit the required form to the TCWG and be
available via telephone during their meeting to respond to any questions. Our costs, presented
below assume that the project will be found to not be a POAQC. If this is not confumed by the
TCWG we will discuss with you the best way to proceed.
Task 2 - Air Quality Technical Report
An air quality technical report will be prepared with the following content. The existing air
environment will be described in terms of meteorology. local topography affecting pollutant
dispersion, and ambient air monitoring data. A summary of current air management efforts
and regulations. which may be related to the proposed project. will be identified. Sensitive
receptor areas within the project vicinity will be identified. As a signalization project. the
project is exempt from the Regional Transportation Conformity Requirements but is still
subject to the analysis of local "hot-spot" impacts. The potential for the project to result in a
local CO hot-spot impact will be addressed per the Caltrans CO Protocol. The fact that the
project is not a POAQC and will not result in a local PM hot-spot impact will be discussed.
Mobile Source Air Toxic (MSA T) impacts will be discussed based on the guidance published
by the FHWA at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environmentlairtoxic/020306guidmem.htm.
Potential impacts due to Diesel Particulate Matter and Naturally Occurring Asbestos will be
discussed as well.
Task 3 - Air Quality Conformity Documentation
As part of the SAFETY -LV NEP A delegation. Caltrans must request an air quality conformity
determination from the FHW A separate from the environmental review process. The FHW A
has prepared a checklist for Section 6004 projects that will be completed and submitted with
the air quality technical report. We will complete the checklist and provide the necessary
supporting documentation.

Costs
We propose to prepare air quality technical study and conformity documentation for the
Metrolink Parking Structure project on a time and materials basis with a cost not to exceed
$12,348. Our costs are broken out by task in the table below. Our hourly rates are $180 for
Principals, $160 for Associates, $90 for Staff Engineers, and $65 for Technicians. Once we
receive the necessary materials and authorization to proceed we wi\1 turnaround the report in 2
to 3 weeks. The timing of the report will be slightly dependent on the meeting date of the
TCWG. Our cost assumes three revision cycles (i.e. submittal of three drafts and one final) for
the technical report and conformity documentation. Any additional revision cycles wi\1 be
billed on a time and materials basis.
