DATE: November 14, 1991 (Council Meeting 11/20)
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Agreement Between the City of
Moorpark and the Los Angeles County Transportation
Commission for Services for the Design and
Construction of the Moorpark Rail Platform
Background
In November 1990, the Southern California Regional Rail Authority,
a joint powers authority consisting of Los Angeles, Orange,
Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties, was formed to
coordinate a plan to provide commuter rail service to downtown Los
Angeles. The Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTIC)
has been charged with the task of implementing this plan. The
service, which will primarily use existing railroad right -of -way to
connect downtown Los Angeles to the outlying areas, is scheduled to
begin operating in October 1992,
As proposed, the commuter rail service operating in Ventura County
will originate from Moorpark in the morning and return in the
evening. The Rail Authority plans to locate a layover facility in
Moorpark to house and service t:h- trains at the end of each day.
In October the City Council approved submittal of a Transportation
Capital Improvement (TCI) Fund rfrant from the State for $697,440
and designated $200,000 from ?he City's Transportation System
Management Fund as match. The city applied for these funds under
Intercity Rail (AMTRAK service which requires no matching funds.
The City's application include(I design and construction of a 500
foot center platform, electricra rehabilitation, landscaping and
parking lot construction and r— d,i1.i.tation.

On November 13, the panel review;nq TCI applications informed the
City that its rail station project could not be considered as a
total intercity rail project sine.! the station would also serve as
a commuter rail facility. !'he City has two TCI funding
alternatives, first apply for funding as a commuter rail facility,
in which case the City must match the funds at 50 percent. This
alternative would require that the City scale back the scope of
work to just the construction of a 425 foot platform in order to
stay within the $200,000 match designated by Council. The second
alternative would be to apply for partial funding as an intercity
rail facility and partial funding as a commuter rail facility. The
City would only have to match 50 percent of the funds associated
with commuter rail costs of $400,000 ($200,000 City match). The
remaining intercity rail costs ould be funded with no required
match.
Because of the short time frame i which stations must be designed,
constructed, and ready for service, LACTC is proposing to contract
for architectural design construction management, and construction
of the stations participating in the commuter rail system.
Participating cities will enter into agreements with LACTC for the
provision of these services and reimburse the Commission through
scheduled payments. Because LAC "'C will contract for services for
numerous stations, track improvements, and layover facilities, the
cost to each individual city wil he Le!;s than if the cities were
to contract separately.
Staff is proposing that the City t,ntE.!r into an agreement with LACTC
for the design and construction cf the rail platform and necessary
electrical work only; parking and landscaping improvements will not
be included. The agreement w:il contain the aforementioned two
alternatives. The alternative E;e..ec.;ted will be the decision of the
City and will be made pending t.h( tinal outcome of the City's TCI
application. Alternative A could be selected if Caltrans were
unwilling to support partial i.r terci.ts✓ rail funding and would
involve design and constructio of a 425 foot commuter rail
platform, 3 canopies, and rehabilitating the existing electrical
system for an estimated cost. �f $404,768. If the City is
successful in securing fund.irq as ar Intercity /Commuter Rail
facility, Alternative B would rIolwe design and construction of
the required 800 intercity foet. rail platform, 4 canopies, and
electrical work. The cost for A tee nat ve B if; $726,544.
The architectural consultant .�e l.. ct.ed by LACTC ( DeLeuw Cather and
Co.) will work with City st�i,f to design the platform in
conformance with City of Moorpar� :-st.and,trds and those established
by the Commission and the ;n °ter,. ^alifornia Regional Rail.
Authority.
