We are seeking a recommendation for the appropriation of $2,790,598 in Prop K funds, with conditions, for environmental analysis and advanced conceptual engineering for the Geary BRT Project EIR/S, subject to the attached Cash Flow Distribution Schedule and amendment of the BRT/Transit Preferential Streets/Muni Metro Network 5-Year Prioritization Program.

BACKGROUND

In May 2007, the Authority and San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Boards approved the Geary Corridor Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Study (Feasibility Study), which identified the need for and purpose of BRT on Geary Boulevard. The Feasibility Study developed and evaluated conceptual BRT design alternatives, recommending a set of alternatives for further development, including environmental analysis.

Also in May 2007, through Resolution No. 07-65, the Authority Board appropriated the first installment of an estimated $6 million total budget (about 2.5% of the project capital cost estimate of $240 million

M:\PnP\2013\Memos\07 July\Geary BRT Appropriation\GearyBRT Appropriation 2013 PPC Memo 070913.docx Page 2 of 7

from the feasibility study) for the environmental and conceptual engineering phase for the BRT project. The Authority is leading project development through environmental clearance, working in close partnership with the SFMTA, which will later lead final design and construction.

The Authority Board did not appropriate the full estimated cost of the phase at once, but rather $1,183,000 in Prop K funds, with subsequent appropriations made for needs that were identified as the project progressed. In June 2008, through Resolution No. 08-81, the Authority Board appropriated the next installment of $1,125,000 in Prop K funds, and in December 2010, through Resolution No. 11-32, the Authority Board appropriated $1,647,515 in Prop K funds, with added scope items including expanding the project limits and the number of alternatives to be evaluated. In addition, in order to streamline and focus the management of the project, we augmented Authority staff capacity with the addition of a day-to-day project manager from the Authority’s on-call project management consultant contract with Cordoba/Zurinaga Joint Venture.

Since that time, the project team has made substantial progress. We have produced newly refined engineering designs and cost estimates for four ‘build’ alternatives and one ‘no-build’ alternative along the seven-mile corridor, incorporating recent analysis and community feedback. We have also conducted enhanced outreach and surveys with the merchant community, increased our coordination with pedestrian safety and other potential early delivery efforts in the corridor, and refined designs at the Masonic and Fillmore intersections while also further detailing designs at either end of the corridor. Finally, we have applied lessons learned from the Van Ness BRT project and enhanced tree analysis as well as plan to deepen utility investigations. Additional funds are needed to enable the Authority, working with SFMTA and Jacobs Engineering Group, to accelerate and complete this phase of work. Authority and SFMTA staff and Jacobs Engineering Group would undertake this remaining work.

At its July 9 meeting, the Authority’s Finance Committee considered a request to increase the professional services contract with Jacobs Engineering Group by $1,329,924 for environmental analysis services for the Geary BRT Environmental Impact Report/Statement (EIR/S), which this Prop K request would help fund. The Finance Committee has forwarded the item to the Authority Board with a negative recommendation, raising concerns about the duration of the project schedule, scope changes, etc. and requested additional information from staff regarding how the Authority and the SFMTA will work to ensure more timely project implementation. We will provide an update on this effort at the Plans and Programs Committee meeting.

The purpose of this memorandum is to present our request for additional project funds for the Authority, SFMTA and Jacobs Engineering Group to complete the environmental phase of work for the Geary BRT Project.

DISCUSSION

The Environmental Analysis for the Geary BRT Project includes all work associated with the refinement of BRT design options and cost estimates, and the evaluation of alternatives and environmental review of all options, culminating in the selection of a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) and completion of the EIR/S.

This phase of the Geary BRT Project includes the following main tasks:

A. Project Management and External Coordination – Public involvement throughout the analysis, including public workshops, public hearings, stakeholder and agency meetings, and public communications materials.

B. Environmental Impact Analysis and Documentation – Preparation of an Environmental

M:\PnP\2013\Memos\07 July\Geary BRT Appropriation\GearyBRT Appropriation 2013 PPC Memo 070913.docx Page 3 of 7

Document that meets the requirements for both an EIS in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and an EIR in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

C/D. Alternatives Analysis/Advanced Conceptual Engineering – Preparation of advanced conceptual engineering design documents for the EIR/S project alternatives as needed to clarify potential impacts and support identification of a LPA; and additional planning, engineering, and cost estimation for complex grade-separated intersections at Fillmore Street and Masonic Avenue.

The sections below describe the progress on each task which has involved a higher level of effort than anticipated to respond to technical and community concerns, and the remaining work to complete the phase. We also provide an update on the definition of alternatives and a schedule for the remaining work.

Progress Since December 2010: Since the most recent Prop K appropriation in December 2010, project work has been focused on ways to facilitate community involvement and merchant engagement, as well as undertaking detailed technical investigations that will enable us to accelerate project development by supporting the selection of a Locally Preferred Alternative this fall.

Progress on Task A – recent outreach activities. We conducted a round of community outreach in summer 2012 to provide updated project information and solicit input on alternatives, including 30 targeted stakeholder meetings and three hosted community meetings. This round of outreach led to the addition of several tasks to help respond to community concerns we heard about potential parking loss and business impacts, among other issues. Examples of additional outreach work we undertook was a patron intercept survey in Spring 2013 to determine Geary corridor business patron spending and travel patterns, as well as a door-to-door merchant survey to gather information on merchant perceptions and issues. Finally, we have continued in-depth community coordination through our quarterly Geary Citizen Advisory Committee (GCAC) meetings.

Progress on Task B – transportation and environmental analyses. Based on the revised project definition (see below), we have begun updating our analysis of various aspects of transportation performance, including the effects of project alternatives on on-street parking. We have also used the revised project definition and engineering drawings to define the limits of environmental study, enabling the team to proceed with the full environmental technical studies. To inform the analysis, the team has collected new data on traffic volumes and existing trees.

Progress on Task C/D – project alternatives definitions. We have refined and expanded the definition of alternatives (see the next section below for more detail), including identifying specific improvements for the ‘Inner Geary’ east of Van Ness Avenue and creating a new project variant referred to as Alternative 3 – Consolidated which combines the BRT and Light Rail Transit service into a single service that operates in the center lanes using right side platforms. The main benefit of this alternative is its relatively lower parking impacts. We have also advanced designs at the Fillmore Street and Masonic Avenue complexes, and extended the bus-only lanes on the western end of the corridor to 33rd Avenue, in response to public input. We have generated new detailed engineering design drawings for the full length of the corridor based on this refined definition. The team has created draft cost estimates for each alternative on a segment-by-segment basis throughout the corridor, in anticipation of the need to consider combinations of alternatives. And finally, we have identified a subset of transit and pedestrian safety improvements that could be implemented in the near term, in advance of the start of BRT service.

M:\PnP\2013\Memos\07 July\Geary BRT Appropriation\GearyBRT Appropriation 2013 PPC Memo 070913.docx Page 4 of 7

Revised Project Definition and Alternatives: The recent work has resulted in better clarity on the project definition and alternatives to be evaluated in the environmental document, for the full length of the seven-mile corridor.

Within ‘Inner Geary’, the one-mile segment on Geary and O’Farrell Streets, from Market Street to Gough Street, the project design strengthens the existing bus-only lanes with new baseline enhancements such as colorized pavement and new signage, along with spot improvements at key congested intersections and enhancements at BRT stations.

Between Gough Street and 25th Avenue (3.5 miles), the project now consists of one ‘no-build’ and four ‘build’ alternatives:

1. No-build/baseline improvements

2. Side-running bus lane

3. Center-running bus lane, dual right-side median platforms, bus passing zones at local stops

Consolidated [new]. Center-running bus lane, dual right-side median platforms, consolidated Local/BRT Service, no bus passing zones

4. Center-running bus lane, single left-side median platforms, bus passing zones at local stops

Between 25th and 33rd Avenues (0.5 miles), the project design features side-running BRT lanes for all alternatives. From 33rd Avenue to 48th Avenue (less than one mile), the reduced traffic and transit demands are such that buses will not require the relatively higher-capacity design of center BRT lanes.

Remaining Work and New Requested Installment: To complete this environmental analysis and advanced conceptual engineering phase for the Geary Corridor BRT Project, the team has identified the remaining work items, including those items requiring additional resources, and some newly identified scope items, as described above and below. The requested funds would support additional technical and outreach tasks and project management for the expanded project scope, including resources for the Jacobs Engineering Group consultant contract, the SFMTA and Authority staff teams, (including a project management consultant), supplemental community outreach and modeling support, and legal counsel. Other remaining work includes the following:

Completion of transportation and environmental analyses (as per Task B). A full transportation analysis for two future horizon years (2020 and 2035) is needed for the newly revised definitions for four build alternatives and one no-build alternative. This represents a new effort for the new alternative 3-Consolidated center lane services build alternative and additional effort to revise previously initiated transportation work. For the environmental analysis, some of the technical studies require updating, while other studies will make use of the transportation analysis results.

Preparation of environmental document (as per Task B). The technical analyses, when complete, will provide the basis for documenting the potential project impacts in accordance with federal NEPA and state CEQA requirements. This work includes a Draft document, legal counsel on environmental regulatory procedures, a public comment period, and a Final document that includes responses to comments and other accompanying documentation.

Selection of locally preferred alternative (LPA) (as per Task C/D). The technical analyses will inform the design of an LPA project to be selected by the Authority and SFMTA Boards.

Additional community outreach and interagency coordination (as per Task A). The team is planning for two additional rounds of outreach: one to provide support the LPA decision, and one to raise awareness for

M:\PnP\2013\Memos\07 July\Geary BRT Appropriation\GearyBRT Appropriation 2013 PPC Memo 070913.docx Page 5 of 7

the release of the draft environmental document. We will also publicize the final document, and all outreach will be conducted with multi-lingual and accessible materials. Stakeholder meetings, hosted community meetings, and other direct outreach will accompany each outreach round. We will also continue our quarterly GCAC meetings, as well as our agency coordination, such as with the SFMTA, Department of Public Works and other local stakeholder agencies. This inter-agency coordination and community outreach will support BRT project design, as well as ensure compatibility with the Transit Effectiveness Project, related pedestrian safety projects and other near term improvements we are helping to plan in the corridor such as the potential fill of the underpass at Fillmore Street. We will also continue to work with the Federal Transit Administration to fulfill NEPA requirements and begin discussions for potential federal funding.

Costs and funding strategy (as per Task C/D). The team will use the completed alternatives-based cost estimate to generate a refined project cost estimate for the selected LPA. We will also identify funding opportunities and develop a funding strategy for the LPA.

Budget: The requested funds increase the budget for the environmental phase from $6 million to $6.7 million (about a 12% increase) as shown in Table 1 below. As a percentage of the estimated capital cost for the project, or $240 million, the environmental phase represents less than 3% of the estimated project cost, well within industry standards for this type of project.

This schedule reflects a strategy to accelerate the remaining environmental review tasks and thereby make up some schedule delays for this phase by selecting an LPA in advance of the release of the Draft environmental document. This would ensure a strong public process for selecting LPA while enabling more streamlined approaches to the Draft and Final EIR/S. As currently anticipated, the project schedule calls for detailed design work to take place following environmental approvals in winter 2014/15, with construction slated to begin in 2017 and the start of BRT services in Fiscal Year 2019/20. This summer, the project team will explore the possibility of advancing project design following the selection of the LPA, in parallel with the completion of environmental review, a process known as “designing at-risk”. Combined with other potential project delivery strategies, these methods may enable the overall schedule to be shortened.

5-Year Prioritization Program (5YPP) Amendment: This request requires an amendment to the BRT/Transit Preferential Streets (TPS)/Muni Metro Network 5YPP, which currently has $5,692,485 programmed for the Geary BRT final design in Fiscal Year 2010/11. The amendment would reprogram these funds from the final design phase to the environmental analysis phase in Fiscal Year 2013/14. SFMTA concurs with the proposed amendment and appropriation request.

We are seeking a recommendation for the appropriation of $2,790,598 in Prop K funds, with conditions, for environmental analysis and advanced conceptual engineering for the Geary BRT Project EIR/S, subject to the attached Cash Flow Distribution Schedule and amendment of the BRT/TPS/Muni Metro Network 5YPP.

Geary Bus Rapid Transit Project Environmental Studies and Advanced Conceptual Engineering

Scope of Work Amendment

The following scope of work amendment describes revised and additional activities required to complete the environmental and advanced conceptual engineering phase of the Geary Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project. The Authority is leading this phase of work, in close coordination with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA).

In May 2007, the Authority approved the Geary Corridor BRT Feasibility Study, and through Resolution 07-65 it committed $1,183,000 in Prop K funds to the environmental and advanced conceptual engineering phase of the project. The original scope of work included:

A. Project Management and External Coordination

B. Environmental Impact Analysis and Documentation

C/D. Alternatives Analysis/Advanced Conceptual Engineering

At the time, the estimated the cost of the above tasks was approximately $6 million. Authority staff did not request the amount in full but rather an initial budget installment, with subsequent installments requested as the project progressed.

Previous Installments

The original resolution (07-65) appropriated $1,183,000 as the initial installment. Resolution 08-81, approved in 2008, appropriated $1,125,000. The most recent appropriation was approved through Resolution 11-32 in December 2010, providing $1,647,515. In sum, the Authority Board has appropriated $3,955,515 in Prop K to the project.

The scopes of work for these appropriations added work items as needs surfaced as a result of project refinement and public input, including:

An additional build alternative, as a result of the environmental scoping process;

Development of robust improvements on Geary and O’Farrell Streets east of Van Ness Avenue; and

Analysis for the complex Fillmore and Masonic grade-separated intersections, including engineering and transportation modeling.

Progress Since December 2010

Since the last appropriation in 2010, the project team has made substantial progress on several fronts, as follows:

Additional outreach and coordination. The team conducted a major round of public meetings in summer 2012 to provide a project update on the refined build alternatives and to solicit input, particularly on key transitions and design options at complex nodes along the corridor. Outreach activities included three neighborhood open houses, publicized in multiple languages, and more than 30 presentations to stakeholder groups. The team also conducted a patron survey with interviews with more than 500 visitors to the Geary corridor, a door-to-door merchant survey visiting more

than 800 businesses, and continued inter-agency, inter-project, and Geary Citizen Advisory Committee (GCAC) coordination.

Further technical analysis. Activities included corridor-wide block-by-block parking, loading space, and existing tree surveys, new traffic counts at over 20 intersections, finalization of the limits of environmental study to clear the way for full environmental technical studies, and development of approved baseline traffic volume and transit ridership projections.

Detailed refinements to project and alternative definitions. In response to public input and further analysis, the team refined the initial preliminary (12%) designs for the seven-mile corridor, including:

the ‘Inner Geary’ segment east of Van Ness Avenue;

the segment between Van Ness Avenue and 25th Street, with introduction of a new variant – Alternative 3 Consolidated – that responds to community feedback by preserving as much on-street parking as feasible;

the complex Fillmore Street and Masonic Avenue grade-separated intersections; and

bus-only lanes for the segment between 25th and 33rd Streets.

Design work was also tried on transition areas where the BRT would shift from the center of the street to the side and vice versa, refined bus service plans and stop configurations for each project alternative, and draft revised cost estimates for all BRT alternatives. Finally, the project team developed an initial set of potential near-term transit and pedestrian-related projects that could be pursued prior to the implementation of BRT service along Geary.

Revised Project Definition and Alternatives

The recent work has resulted in better clarity on the project definition and alternatives.

Within the one-mile ‘Inner Geary’ segment from Market Street to Gough Street, the project looks to strengthen the existing bus-only lanes in their current location with bus-only lane colorization and signage, along with re-configurations of key congested intersections and BRT stop and station enhancements.

Between Gough Street and 25th Avenue (3.5 miles), the project now consists of one ‘no-build’ and four ‘build’ alternatives:

Alternative 1: No-build

Alternative 2: Side-running bus lane

Alternative 3: Center-running bus lane, dual right-side median platforms, bus passing zones at local stops

Alternative 3 Consolidated [new]: Center-running bus lane, dual right-side median platforms, consolidated Local/BRT Service, no bus passing zones

Alternative 4: Center-running bus lane, single left-side median platforms, bus passing zones at local stops

M:\CAC\Meetings\Memo to CAC\2013\06 Jun 26\Geary BRT Env ARF & Amendment Item\Geary BRT EIR ARF2013 Scope 061913.docx Page 4 of 17

Between 25th and 33rd Avenues (0.5 miles), the one proposed alternative features side-running BRT lanes. From 33rd to 48th Avenues (less than one mile), the reduced traffic and transit demands are such that buses do not need dedicated lanes.

Scope for New Requested Installment

In the course of the work, the project team has identified several additional items needed to complete this phase of project development, representing three types of work: original scope items that have not yet been initiated; original scope items that have been initiated but require further resources; and newly identified remaining work to be done. The new requested installment represents work additional to the current balance, as shown in the table below.

5-Year Prioritization Program and Strategic Plan Consistency

BRT on Geary has been identified as a city priority through Prop K Expenditure Plan; the 2004 Countywide Transportation Plan; the Prop K Strategic Plan; and the 5-Year Prioritization Program (5YPP) for the BRT-Transit Preferential Streets (TPS) category.

The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)/Transit Preferential Streets/Muni Metro Network 5YPP currently has $5,692,485 programmed for the Geary BRT project in Fiscal Year 2010/11. The requested appropriation requires a 5YPP amendment to reprogram these funds from the final design phase to the environmental analysis phase in Fiscal Year 2013/14.
