Department: Economic Development
Prepared by: Stephanie Lovette, Manager City Manager Approval44
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving A Professional Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn
Consultants in an Amount Not to Exceed $270,000 for Work Related to the TAM Grant for the
Full or Partial Relocation of the San Rafael Transit Center Due to Impact of SMART Rail
Operations
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution.
BACKGROUND ON THE DOWNTOWN STATION AREA PLAN: The City of San Rafael
and our public agency partners at SMART, Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation
District ("GGBHTD"), Marin Transit District and the Transportation Authority of Marin
("TAM"), collectively the Joint Project Team ("JPT") submitted a Station Area Plan grant
application to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission ("MTC") in 2009. MTC awarded
$488,000 for the Downtown Station Area Plan, including grant matching funds from the JPT in
the amount of $97,000. The City of San Rafael provided matching funds of $1,000, SMART
provided $41,000, GGBHTD provided $33,000, Marin Transit District provided $20,000, and
the TAM provided $2,000.
The City Council appointed the Citizens Advisory Committee on Economic Development and
Affordable Housing, formerly the Citizens' Advisory Committee on Redevelopment ("CAC")
which represents neighborhood, business, and property owners in San Rafael, including the
Downtown, to work with the community to develop the Downtown San Rafael Station Area Plan
and to advise the City Council on such Area Plan. Between July 2010 and March 2012, the
CAC worked on the Draft Station Area Plan at sixteen meetings; reviewed background data;
participated in two walking tours of the area; hosted two community outreach workshops, and a
series of presentations on the Draft Station Area Plan including presentations to the Boards of
TAM and Marin Transit, the Transportation Committee of the Golden Gate Bridge and
Transportation District, and the San Rafael Design Review Board and the San Rafael Planning
Commission. The CAC recommended Downtown San Rafael Station Area Plan was accepted by
the City Council on April 2, 2012. The City Council also directed staff to pursue implementation
of the Station Area Plan as infrastructure grant funding and staff resources became available.

The Station Area Plan included some preliminary analysis on the potential full relocation of the
Bettini Transit Center. This initial work was included in the Downtown Station Area Plan to
address the negative impact on the transit center when the SMART train was extended to
Larkspur.
BACKGROUND ON THE BETTINI TRANSIT CENTER: The C. Paul Bettini Transit
Center (SRTC) is the major regional transit hub for Marin County. The Bettini Center is owned
by the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District (GGBHTD), which provides
regional and inter county service operated by Golden Gate Transit. Other transportation services
operating at the SRTC include: intra -county local service by Marin Transit's contractors;
Sonoma County Transit; the Marin Airporter, which serves San Francisco Airport; the Sonoma
Airporter which serves Oakland Airport and Greyhound. A taxi stand operates inside the center.
These services all operate at the SRTC under Revocable License Agreements with GGBHTD.
The SRTC is composed of three separate parcels, APN 011-279-01 and 03 owned by GGBHTD.
APN 011-279-02 is owned by SMART. GGBHTD retained an easement over SMART's
property when it transferred ownership to SMART in 2006. The easement remains in effect until
SMART begins operating and when SMART extends service to Larkspur.
The SRTC accommodates approximately 575 busses per day on an average weekday with
service from public and private transit operators. Sonoma County Transit operates two trips/day
to and from Sonoma County, Marin Airporter operates 58 trips/day to and from San Francisco
Airport, Sonoma Airporter operates 30 trips/day to and from Oakland Airport and Greyhound
operates one trip/day in each direction linking San Rafael to San Francisco and the 101 corridor
cities in Northern California.
The SRTC current site is well situated for north -south trips with easy access to Highway 101 and
for east -west trips on the aerials of Second and Third Streets. The current location is adjacent to
roughly 197 free commuter parking spaces in Park and lZide lots under US 101 owned by Cal
Trans. Additional paid parking is available to commuters in the City's downtown garages
located within walking distance of the SRTC.
DISCUSSION: While SMART operations to Larkspur will be a benefit to the whole
community, it will have a negative impact on the operations at the SRTC as the train tracks will
be located through the center of SRTC. Negative impacts include the loss of the current two bus
bays at Platform C and the taxi parking -waiting area and the narrowing of the drive aisle width
used by the busses to navigating through the transit center. The SMART tracks will also require
fencing or other barriers that will eliminate the current pedestrian crossing through the transit
center, making the center less useable for patrons transferring between bus routes.
The negative impact on the transit center will require the full or partial relocation of the center
after SMART operates to Larkspur. The Station Area Plan included some initial analysis of the
space and operational requirements to meet the current and future needs of bus passengers but
further study is necessary.
The City, in conjunction with our partners at GGBDTD and Marin Transit District applied to the
TAM in December 2013 for a grant to do further analysis on the transit center relocation. TAM
awarded $288,320 including $33,330 in local matching funds for the transit center relocation

study. This was memorialized in a cooperative funding agreement between TAM and the City
which was approved by the City Council on December 1, 2014.
The City is the lead agency on this contract and the Economic Development Manager is the
project manager for the contract.
Staff prepared a request for qualifications for a consultant which was widely distributed and
advertised in the Marin Independent Journal. The TAM funds are Federal Funds administered
through the California Department of Transportation ("CALTRANS"). CALTRANS requires all
contracts to establish a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise ("DBE) goal. City staff worked with
TAM staff to establish a goal of 6% for this consulting contract. On February 24, 2015, a team
consisting of staff from the City of San Rafael, GGBHTD and Marin Transit District interviewed
three consulting firms for this study and Kimley Horn received the highest ranking. The Kimley
Horn cost proposal was for a total of $266,097.93 including work conducted by Strategic
Economics, Inc. a DBE firm whose work represents 15.62% of the total contract amount.
Kimley Horn's work will include the following:
• Operational analysis of the current transit operations
• Analysis of the land requirements for a new or partially relocated transit center and
related operational considerations
• An evaluation of the alternatives for a new or partially relocated transit center
• An evaluation of the real estate issues and alternatives for a new transit center or partial
relocation
• Analysis of reuse options for the existing Bettini Center
The proposed scope of work for the contract is included as Attachment A.
FISCAL IMPACT: On December 1, 2014, the City Council approved a funding agreement
with the Transportation Authority of Marin and authorized the appropriation of $288,320
including a local match of $33,330. The proposed scope of work from Kimley llorn is an
amount not to exceed $270,000.
The required match amount was acknowledged by our partners at Golden Gate Transit and Marin
Transit at the time the City of San Rafael applied for the TAM grant. In the event of any future
funding shortfalls for additional work not contemplated in the current approved scope of work,
we will work with our partners to address the issue.
OPTIONS:
1) Adopt the Resolution approving the contract with Kimley-Horn
2) Suggest changes to the proposed contract
3) Refuse to adopt the Resolution
ACTION REQUIRED: Adopt Resolution.

criteria will be summarized in a brief memorandum and provided for Agency comment.
Task 3.2: Site Identification
Kimley-Horn will identify potential sites and curb space that would be available for use in a transit center.
Sites will be identified based on acreage, access, and existing use. These sites will be identified on a
graphic. The graphic will be distributed to the Agencies for review and comment.
Task 3.3: Develop Long -Term Transit Center Configuration Alternatives
Kimley-Horn will develop up to nine alternatives of transit center configurations (including combinations of
on -street and off-street facilities) utilizing the potential sites identified in Task 3.1. Each alternative will be
shown on a conceptual graphic, not to scale, depicting approximate bus bay locations and configurations.
Bus, affiliated vehicle (i.e. kiss -and -ride, taxi and other vehicles serving the transit center), pedestrian,
and bicycle circulation graphics will be prepared for each concept depicting circulation with that concept.
A summary graphic will be prepared for each alternative highlighting conflict and control points for modal
interactions. For each alternative, a graphic will be prepared that provides a preliminary bay assignment
for each route serving the transit center.
Task 3.4: Bus Circulation Analysis
Using the Baseline Circulation analysis performed in Task 1.5, Kimley-Horn will estimate changes in
circulation times for each bus route serving the transit center from baseline conditions with each of the
proposed concepts. The changes in circulation times will be factored by bus frequency and summed to
quantify a change in circulation time from baseline conditions with each concept.
Task 3.5: Prepare Alternative Scenarios Report
Based on the screening criteria developed in Task 3.1, Kimley-Horn will prepare an evaluation of the
alternatives. The evaluation is anticipated to be primarily qualitative in nature. A matrix will be developed
comparing the performance of each of the alternatives.
Tasks 3.1 through 3.5 will be summarized in a technical memorandum. Kimley-Horn will provide a PDF
format draft of the memorandum for Agency review and comment. One round of non -conflicting Agency
comments will be addressed and a final technical memorandum prepared and provided to the Agencies in

and planning requirements for those properties and display on a graphic.
Strategic Economics will conduct initial targeted analysis of market conditions in the study area as a
means to:
• Identify the most viable types of private development that might be considered as part of
subsequent tasks (e.g., office, residential, other uses); and
• Understand a range of likely land value s for sites considered as part of the alternatives analysis.
Task 4.2: Transit Center Integration
Kimley-Horn will evaluate the feasibility of integrating a transit center onto the identified sites given
existing and planned uses and the available transportation network, and identify the resulting effect on
existing and planned uses.
Strategic Economics will estimate the potential value that might be generated from up to three transit
center relocation scenarios that include a private development component. These scenarios might
include private development on the Bettini Transit Center site as well as other properties, with a focus on
uses determined to be most likely to be financially feasible and/or desired by the client.
Task 4.3: Real Estate Evaluation Assessment
This task will be summarized in a technical memorandum. Kimley-Horn will provide a PDF format draft of
the memorandum for Agency review and comment. One round of non -conflicting Agency comments will
be addressed and a final technical memorandum prepared and provided to the Agencies in PDF format.

amenities accompanying the proposed transit center based on similar recent projects in the Bay Area.
Deliverables: Conceptual Plan Workshop minutes, Conceptual Plan, Revised Conceptual Plan, Cost
Estimates
Task 6: Transition Strategies
Task 6.1: Transition Strategies
Based on existing operations (documented in Task 1) and the Conceptual Plan developed in Task 5,
Kimley-Horn will identify up to two alternative operating concepts for the following scenarios:
• SMART Phase 1 Operation
• SMART Phase 2 Construction
• Transit Center Construction (if affecting existing or interim transit center operations)
The concepts will be illustrated in not -to -scale graphics. Constraints to operations will be identified for
each alternative.
Task 6.2: Workshop on Transition Strategies
A workshop amongst the Agencies and Kimley-Horn will be held to discuss the alternative configurations
of the transit facilities during each of the transition scenarios. One preferred alternative for each scenario
will be identified. Kimley-Horn will prepare and distribute meeting minutes from the workshop.
Task 6.3: Refinement of Transition Configurations
Based on the preferred alternatives identified in Task 6.2, Kimley-Horn will prepare conceptual drawings.
Each transition scenario will have one plan view drawing of the bay locations, amenities and access
roadways. Cost estimates will be prepared for each of the preferred transition configurations.
Task 6.4: Transition Strategy Memorandum
A technical memorandum will be prepared summarizing the findings of this task. Also included in the
memorandum will be a discussion on operational considerations associated with the transition from one
scenario to the next and a graphical schedule summarizing the transition plan relative to triggering
events. Kimley-Horn will provide a PDF format draft of the memorandum for Agency review and comment.
