Allocation of $12,875,000 in Prop K funds, with conditions, to the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, for the acquisition of the 80 Natoma property as part of the Right of Way for the Caltrain Downtown Extension/Transbay Terminal Project, Subject to the Attached Fiscal Year Cash Flow Distribution Schedule – ACTION* (attachment 9) (unsigned resolution) On September 28, 2004, the Board of Supervisors voted to condemn the 80 Natoma property. On the same day, through Resolution 05-15, the Authority Board allocated $16,125,000 in Prop K funds to the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) toward the total cost of condemnation of the 80 Natoma property, as part of the right of way for the Caltrain Downtown Extension/Transbay Terminal Project (Transbay Terminal Project). At the time the TJPA was seeking to condemn the property for $32,250,000. Subsequent to those actions, the owner of the property, Myers Natoma Venture, brought legal action against the City and County, the TJPA and the Peninsula Commute Joint Powers Board. On May 26, 2005 the Court ruled in favor of Myers Natoma Venture. On October 18, 2005, the Board of Supervisors, upon the recommendation of the City Attorney, voted in first reading to approve the ordinance authorizing the City Attorney to settle the case for a proposed $58 million. The ordinance's second reading and vote by the Board of Supervisors is scheduled for October 25. The TJPA is seeking $25,750,000 in equal contributions from the Prop K program and through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's Regional Measure 2 Program. Allocation of these funds would settle the litigation and allow the project to continue moving forward. The action before the Board is the allocation of $12,875,000 in Prop K funds, with conditions, to the TJPA for acquisition of the 80 Natoma property as part of the right-of-way acquisition for the Transbay Terminal Project, subject to the attached Fiscal Year Cash Flow Distribution Schedule . 13. Allocation of $1,770,000 in Prop K funds with Conditions to the Transbay Joint Powers Authority for FY 2005/06 Part 1 Preliminary Engineering, Subject to the Attached Fiscal Year Cash Flow Distribution Schedule – ACTION* (attachment 10) (unsigned resolution) In September 2004 through Resolution 05-18, the Authority Board allocated $3,725,000 in Prop K funds to the Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) for Part 1 Preliminary Engineering of the Caltrain Downtown Extension/Transbay Terminal Project with a commitment to allocate $1,770,000 in FY 2005/06 Prop K funds to complete the Part 1 Preliminary Engineering scope of work. The total cost of the Part 1 scope of work is $20.99 million to be funded with $5.495 million in Prop K funds and $15.495 million in Regional Measure 2 (toll bridge) funds from MTC. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an update on the Part 1 Preliminary Engineering scope of work and an update on the project as a whole, including the financial plan and ongoing issues related to the condemnation of the 80 Natoma parcel. The current request for $1.77 million to fully fund Part 1 Preliminary Engineering is consistent with the adopted Prop K Strategic Plan., and MTC has already approved its share of the FY 2005/06 work, which equates to $4.99 million in Regional Measure 2 funds. We are seeking an allocation of $1,770,000 in Prop K funds with conditions to the TJPA for FY 2005/06 Part 1 Preliminary Engineering, subject to the attached Fiscal Year Cash Flow Distribution Schedule. 14. Approve a Commitment to Appropriate up to $924,577 in FY2006/07 Prop K funds for the Owner-Controlled Insurance Program of the Initial Operating Segment of the Third Street Light Rail Project – ACTION* (attachment 11) (unsigned resolution) The Third Street Light Rail Project (Project) Owner-Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) provides general liability, excess liability, workers compensation, builders' risk and railroad insurance coverages for the Initial Operating System (IOS) construction phase. The OCIP was initiated February 28, 2002 for 42 months which, at the time, covered the scheduled construction phase through completion, and required Muni to collateralize a basket loss aggregate trust as the funding source to pay approved OCIP claims. Muni asked the Authority to enter into the necessary trust and payment agreements to establish the fund on Muni's behalf. Muni has negotiated an extension through February 28, 2006 to cover the approximate $12M of remaining construction work to be completed under the OCIP. The underwriter's final proposal foregoes additional premiums, but stipulates the basket loss aggregate trust fund be increased from the original funding of $4,748,488 to $6,400,000 in order to extend the program. Muni has identified approximately $726,935 of premium savings and trust fund interest earnings within the OCIP to fund this increase. The requested funding action will commit to appropriate up to $924,577 in FY2006/07 Proposition K funds for the Owner-Controlled Insurance Program of the Initial Operating Segment of the Third Street Light Rail Project. We are seeking approval for a commitment to appropriate up to $924,577 in FY2006/07 Prop K funds for the Owner-Controlled Insurance Program (OCIP) of the Initial Operating Segment of the Third Street Light Rail Project.
