Title
New Cooperative Agreement for Railroad Operations and Maintenance Reimbursements and On-Time Performance Incentives Programs with North County Transit District
Overview
As part of the 2018 Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program grant awarded by the California State Transportation Agency, funding was provided to initiate Railroad Operations and Maintenance Reimbursements and On-Time Performance Incentives Programs between the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency and the North County Transit District. The Programs, which were approved by the Board of Directors in January 2019, provide supplemental funding to support the on-going railroad right-of-way
maintenance on the infrastructure over which the Pacific Surfliner operates on the San Diego Subdivision, and performance-based incentive payments to North County Transit District for meeting Pacific Surfliner on-time performance goals. Staff is seeking Board of Directors’ approval to negotiate and execute a new agreement to continue the Programs with the North County Transit District through June 2025.
Recommendation(s)
Authorize the Managing Director to negotiate and execute a new Agreement between the Los Angeles - San Diego - San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Agency and the North County Transit District with a not-to-exceed contract value of $13,776,523, to fund Railroad Operations and Maintenance Reimbursements and On-Time Performance Incentives Programs from January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2025.
