Funds and reallocated in accordance with ACTIA Policy as shown in EXHIBIT "D", Appendix
B, "Policy Regarding the Definition and Use of Excess Revenues and Unused Funds".
(11} In the event that ACTIA funds are displaced by other funds obtained by SPONSOR, the

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project Description:
ACTIA PROJECT No. 1 - Altamant Commuter Express (ACE) Capital Im rovements -
ACE runs between the City of Stockton and San Jose Diridon Caltrain Station, with four
stops within Alameda County. They are located in Livermore, Pleasanton and Fremont.
The project consists of track, signal system and station improvements, constructing
maintenance facilities, and rolling stock acquisition. Costs associated with preliminary
engineering, environmental studies, design, right-of--way acquisition, utility relocation,
advertisement, award and administration of construction contracts, construction and
design services during construction, and acquisition of rolling stock acquisition are
eligible for reimbursement of ACTIA funds.
ACTIA PROJECT No. 8 - I-680 Express Lane (Route 84 to Santa Clara County project
would allow car pools to travel free of chazge and would allow the excess capacity in the
Lane to be used by law occupancy vehicles that pay a toil for use of the Lane. The
revenues generated from the sale of excess capacity shall be used for operating costs
and/or additional transit services in the corridor. Presently, Caltrans and SPONSOR are
developing cost estimates for widening I-680 to add auxiliary lanes, replace various
structures, widen on-ramps at selected locations, install ramp metering at all on-ramp
locations within project limits, and add High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, and/or
Express Lanes from Route 84 to Santa Clara County. In addition, SPONSOR is
conducting a value pricing study that will determine whether Express Lanes are
operationally feasible for both the northbound and southbound directions, and whether
excess capacity will be available in the HOV lanes to operate Express Lanes. If the
pricing study determines that Express Lanes are feasible, then State legislation is needed
to allow the Express Lanes to be implemented. ACTIA funds are eligible for preliminary
engineering, environmental studies, final design, right-of--way acquisition, utility
relocation, advertisement, award and administration of construction contract,
construction, and design services during construction. If the pricing study determines
that implementing the Express Lanes are operationaIly infeasible for both directional,
unused funds maybe used for construction of new northbound HOV lane.

PROJECTS, the cost for including the additional work shall be segregated and the cost borne by
the SPONSOR from non-ACTIA fund source. Items of work that would fall into this area would
be the correction or betterment ofpre-existing non-transportation related items such as drainage,
landscaping (beyond Caltrans standards) or pedestrian faciliries, unless these were approved as
part of the original PROJECTS. Annual expenses incurred for maintenance shall likewise be
borne by the SPONSOR from non-ACTIA fund sources.

APPENDIX B
POLICY REGARDING THE DEFINITION AND USE OF EXCESS REVENUES AND
UNUSED FUNDS
Excess Revenues
Excess Revenues are those funds that exceed the funding shown in Alameda County's 20-year
Transportation Expenditure Plan (PLAN}. Excess revenues can come from higher than expected
receipts or lower than expected project costs.
Excess revenues are programmed annually in the ACTIA Strategic Plan based on geographic
equity and the following priorities:
l . Meet the unanticipated needs of Tier 1 prof ects over the PLAN amount.
2. Address gaps in Special Transportation Service For Seniors And People With
Disabilities.
3. Fund Tier 2 projects.
Unused Funds
Unused Funds are those funds that became available should a planned project become infeasible,
unfundable or funded by others due to circumstances unforeseen at the time of the PLAN
preparation.
Unused Funds will be programmed to another project in the same planning area with the
approval of a majority of the cities (and Caunty for unincorporated areas} representing a majority
of the population in the planning area.
Any project eligible for funding must be in the PLAN. The PLAN maybe amended by atwo-
thirds vote of the ACTIA Board. All jurisdictions within the County will be given a minimum of
45 days to comment on the proposed PLAN amendment.

APPENDIX C
POLICY REGARDING ACTIA FUNDS SPENT OR ALLOCATED TO PROJECTS
THAT ARE LATER REMOVED FROM THE PLAN.
INTENT
It is the intent of ACTIA to fund projects shown in Alameda County's 20-year Transportation
Expenditure Plan {PLAN) in accordance with the limitations set forth in the PLAN. In the event
that PLAN projects cannot be delivered for any reason, the equitable close out of the project is
contained in this Policy.
POLICY
Where more than ACTIA funds are required to complete a project, SPONSOR shall secure
additional funding. In the event that SPONSOR cannot secure additional funding, and/or the
scope of a project cannot be reduced to meet the available funds and still conform to the PLAN
requirements, or where SPONSOR does not meet the delivery schedule and a project is removed
from the PLAN, SPONSOR and ACTIA agree to share expenditures on eligible casts to date on
the following basis:
1. Costs expended to Scope a project shall be considered reimbursable costs and shall
be paid for in total by ACTIA.
a. The amount of these costs shall be limited by agreement prior to the expenditure
of such funds, and are generally lirrrited to no more than 10% of the ACTIA
participation.
b. Tasks under this PHASE shall be limited by agreement to those tasks necessary to
determine the scope and funding requirements of a project.
2. Costs expended for any PHASE beyond the Scope PHASE shall be shared on a
proportionate share basis. Each proportionate share shall be based on the proposed
PLAN capital expenditures. The ACTIA. proportionate share of eligible costs shall
be calculated based on the percentage anticipated in the PLAN or that developed in
the Scope PHASE as discussed above. The formula shall be as follows:
ACTIA, Funds in PLAN
Sales Tax Funding (97/98 dollars)
ACTIA Proportionate Share = X Eligible Costs
Total Project Cost in
PLAN (97/98 dollars}
The remainder of the eligible costs shall be the SPONSOR'S Proportionate Share.
In the case where "Other Funding Sources" amounts are shown in the PLAN as "tbd" (to be
determined) then the formula shall be altered in the SPECIFIC AGREEMENT with the
SPONSOR to reflect proportionate risk and the proposed size of the particulaz project.
Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority Page E-6
Loca! Business Enterprise and Smal! Local Business Enterprise Program
In the event that funds have been expended prior to the removal of a project from the PLAN, the
proportionate shares shall be calculated as indicated above. If the ACTIA proportionate share is
less than the amount of ACTIA funds paid to SPONSOR, SPONSOR shall reimburse ACTIA the
amaunt paid to SPONSOR in excess of the ACTIA proportionate share. If the ACTIA.
proportionate share is more than the amount of ACTIA. funds paid to SPONSOR, ACTIA shall
reimburse SPONSOR subject to the following limitations:
In no case, shall the ACTIA proportionate share exceed the amount specified in the
PLAN as escalated by the terms of the Master Project Funding Agreement.
~ In no case, shall ACTIA reimburse SPONSOR for more than SPONSOR'S actual aut of
pocket eligible costs.

Local Business Enterprise and Small Local Business Enterprise Program
APPENDIX D
POLICY REGARDING THE TINIING LIMITATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
APPROVAL
INTENT
The ACTIA adopted "Alameda County's 20-year Transportation Expenditure Plan" {PLAN)
contains provisions for geographic equity. Projects which cannot clear the Environmental
Approval process or cannot do so in a timely manner are subject to deletion under the PLAN by
declaring the unencumbered funds as "unused funds". Unused funds are returned to the
geographic area thereby maintaining the geographic equity included in the PLAN.
The PLAN establishes a deadline for environmental approval for each PROJECT that receives
Measure B funding. Approval is defined as the issuance of a Categorical Exclusion (CE}, a
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONS>7 or the filing of the Record of Decision (ROD) for
NEPA documents and the Notice of Determination (NOD) or Notice of Exemption for CEQA
documents. That deadline is April 1, 2007, however the PLAN includes provisions for one-year
extensions to the deadline, if approved by the ACTIA Board.
The intent is to assure continued "due diligence" by the SPONSOR to secure environmental
clearance.
POLICY
This policy is to clarify the requirements for one-year extensions.
1. In the event that the Administrative Draft Environmental Document has not been
submitted for public review by Apri12007, no time extension will be recommended,
and staff will recommend that the project be deleted from the PLAN.
2. A time extension of one year may be recommended for projects where the
SPONSOR has started the environmental process, and has worked diligently on
critical items in an ACTIA-approved project schedule showing initial completion
before Apri12007.
3. Projects meeting the criteria of requirement No, 2 needing additional extensions
shall be required to make application to the ACTIA Board to justify any additional
extensions.
4. Projects with an original ACTIA-approved schedule starting the Environmental
Document prior to Apri12003 and showing environmental approval after Apri12007
shall automatically be recommended for extensions to the year of scheduled
approval. ACTIA will not approve any schedule under this condition unless the
environmental document is started prior to Apri12003.

ALAMEDA COUNTY TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT
AUTHORITY
LOCAL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE AND
SMALL LOCAL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE PROGRAM
I. STATEMENT OF LBE AND SLBE POLICY
It is the policy of the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority to
encourage businesses to locate and remain in Alameda County, to employ residents of Alameda
County and to spend Authority funds for goods and services within the County. The tax
collected by the Authority was imposed by Alameda County voters on themselves for retail sales
made within the County. The revenues are exclusively directed toward improving the transit and
transportation systems within the County. As a result, the Authority has established this Local
Business Enterprise and Small Local Business Enterprise Program ("LBE/SLBE Program")
which shall be applied to Contracts funded solely with local dollars.
The LBE/SLBE Program shall not be applied to Contracts funded with federal or State
funds. Pursuant to State and federal law, the Authority's separate Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE) Program shall be applied to any Construction Contract or Professional Services
Contract administered by the Authority, if such Contract is fiznded in full or in part with federal
dollars.
The participation of local and small local businesses in the Authority's Contracts is
consistent with the voter mandate, and generates other economic benefits for the residents of
Alameda County and adds to the sales tax revenues for the Authority. To qualify for inclusion in
the Authority's LBE/SLBE Program, an applicant must be a Local Business Enterprise or Small
Local Business Enterprise (as such terms are defined below) located within Alameda County.
This LBE/SLBE Program is neutral as to race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sex, religion and
sexual orientation.
II. DEFINITIONS
The terms used throughout this LBE/SLBE Program are defined in the list below or in 49
CFR 26.5. The terms are arranged ixi alphabetical order.
A. Authority: the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority.
B. Bid: a quotation, proposal, solicitation, or offer by a bidder of contractor to
perform or provide labor, materials or equipment to the Authority or a Sponsoring Agency for a
price.
C. Caltrans: the State of California Department of Transportarion.
D. Commercially Useful Function: shall mean that a business is directly responsible
for providing the materials, equipment, supplies or services to the Authority as required by the
bid solicitation. To perform a Commercially Useful Function, the LBE or SLBE must also be
responsible, with respect to materials and supplies used on the contract, for negotiating price,
Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority Page E-10
Loco! Business Enterprise and Small Local Business Enterprise Program
t"
determining quality and quantity, ordering and installing the materials. To determine whether an
LBE or SLBE is performing a Commercially Useful Function, the Authority will evaluate the
amount of work subcontracted, industry practices, whether the amount the firm is to be paid
under the contract is commensurate with the work it is actually performing and the LBE or SLBE
credit claimed for its performance of the work, and other relevant factors. An LBE or SLBE
does not perform a Commercially Useful Function if its role is limited to that of an extra
participant in a transaction, contract, ar project through which funds are passed in order to obtain
the appearance of LBE or SLBE participation. In determining whether an LBE or SLBE is such
an extra participant, the Authority will examine similar transactions, particularly those in which
LBE or SLBEs do not participate. If an LBE or SLBE does not perform or exercise responsibility
for at least 30 percent of the total cost of its contract with its own work force, or the LBE or
SLBE subcontracts a greater portion of the work of a contract than would be expected on the
basis of normal industry practice, it will be assumed that it is not performing a Commercially
Useful Function. When an LBE or SLBE is presumed not to be performing a Commercially
Useful Function as provided above, the LBE or SLBE may present evidence to rebut this
presumption. The Authority will determine whether the firm is performing a Commercially
Useful Function given the type of work involved and normal industry practices.
E. Construction Contract: any Contract between the Authority or a Sponsoring
Agency and a person or firm to provide labor, materials, or equipment for Construction Work.
F. Contract: a legally binding relationship obligating a seller to furnish supplies or
services (including, but not limited to, Construction and professional services} and the buyer to
pay for them.
G. Construction Work: all work to be performed by a person or furn to build or
construct structures, roadways, or roadway appurtenances for the Authority or the Sponsoring
Agency.
H. Goals: see LBE Goals andlor SLBE Goals.
I. Good Faith Effort: the steps, set forth in Section XI of this LBE/SLBE Program,
undertaken to comply with the goals and requirements imposed by the Authority for participation
of LBEs and SLBEs as Subcontractors.
J. Joint Venture: an association of two or mare businesses to carry out a single
business enterprise for profit for which purpose they combine their property, capital, efforts,
skills, and knowledge. Such a Joint Venture maybe in the form of a partnership or other multi-
entity relationship.
K. LBE Goals: the targeted level of Participation for LBEs established by the
Authority for Contracts awazded by the Authority and Sponsoring Agencies funded solely by
local dollars.
L. LBE/SLBE Program: the Authority's Local Business Enterprise and Small Local
Business Enterprise Program.

N. Measure B: the local initiative approved by the voters of Alameda County in 2000
to Levy aone-half (1/2) cent sales and use tax on purchases within the County to finance certain
capital transportation and transit projects as set forth in the Expenditure Plan attached and
incorporated by reference into Measure B. This measure authorized the creation of the Authority

IV. POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE AUTHORITY
In addition to the powers and duties enumerated elsewhere in this Program, the Authority
will do the following:
A. The Authority may mediate disputes relating to payment between Prime
Contractors and .Subcontractors. When such a dispute arises, any party to the dispute may
contact the Authority and request assistance. The Authority will investigate each party's
contentions and work with both to resolve the dispute.
B. When the Authority determines that it has reason to believe that an organization
has committed fraudulent acts in representing that it is an LBE or SLBE the Authority may debar
the organization from participating in Measure B funded Contracts, enforce any of the penalties
set out in Section XVII below, and/or report such fraudulent organizations to the appropriate
government authorities.
V. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SPONSORING AGENCIES
Sponsoring Agencies are public entities receiving funds from the Authority for use on
Alameda County projects designated in Measure B. A Sponsoring Agency may administer some
or all of the design and construction of a Measure B prof ect under the oversight and fiscal control
of the Authority.
It shall be the responsibility of the Sponsoring Agency to ensure that Bids received by the
Agency adhere to the procedures and provisions set forth in this LBE/SLBE Program. 4n a
case-by-case basis, the Authority may decide that a given Contract awarded by a Sponsoring
Agency shall be subject to the Sponsoring Agency's own local preference program rather than
this LBE/SLBE Program.
VI. ESTABLISHMENT OF GOALS
A. LBE Gaols. It is the Authority's policy to encourage businesses to locate and
remain. in Alameda County, to employ residents of Alameda County and to spend Measure B
revenues within the County since Measure B funds are generated from Alameda County sales tax
receipts. To implement this policy, the Authority is establishing Program Goals for Participation
by LBEs. The LBE Goals are to award sixty percent (6d%) of all Construction Contract dollars,
and seventy percent (70%) of all Professional Services Contract dollazs, on an annual basis, to
firms who qualify as LBEs.
The LBE Goal for Construction Contracts shall be met by the Prime Contractor on each
Construction Contract awarded by the Authority or Sponsoring Agency where such Contract is
solely funded with local funds. The LBE Goal for Professional Services Contracts shall be met
by the Prime Contractor on each Professional Services Contract in excess of Fifty Thousand
Dollars {$50,000) awazded by the Authority or Sponsoring Agency, where such Contract is
solely funded with local funds.
No Contract will be awarded to a Prime Contractor who has failed to meet the applicable
LBE Goal in its Bid or other required submittal unless the Prime Contractor first proves it made
a Good Faith Effort to meet the LBE Goal but was not able to do so.
Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority Page E-14
Loco! Business Enterprise and Smatt Locat Business Enterprise Program
B. SLBE Goals. The Authority recognizes the difficulties facing small businesses
when competing in the marketplace. Moreover, it is the policy of the Authority to encourage
businesses to locate and remain in Alameda County, to employ residents of Alameda County and
to spend Authority funds for goods and services within the County. Therefore, the Authority
will implement a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE} program to assist in the utilization of
small local businesses. The SLBE Goals are to award twenty percent (20%) of all Construction
Contract dollars, and thirty percent (30%) of all Professional Services Contracts, on an annual
basis to firms who qualify as SLBEs. Subcontracts which are counted as part of meeting the
applicable SLBE Goal also count toward meeting the applicable LBE Goal.
There maybe some Contracts where it is not possible to include SLBEs because of the
nature of the Contract. The Authority staff shall determine for each Contract whether it is
practical to apply the SLBE Goal.
VII. COUNTING LBE .AND SLBE PARTICIPATION
Only the value of the work actually performed by LBEs and SLBEs will be counted
towards the applicable Goal. The Authority will count expenditures to LBEs and SLBEs when
the firm is performing a Commercially Useful Function on that Contract. The entire amount of
that portion of a Contract that is performed by the LBE's or SLBE's own work force will be
counted. This includes the cost of equipment, supplies and materials obtained by the LBE and
SLBE far work on the Contract. LBE and SLBE Prime Contractors should perform at least 30%
of the total cost of its Contract with its own work force.
If a 3oint Venture, the Authority will count a portion of the total dollar value of the LBE
and SLBE Contract equal to the distinct, clearly defined portion of the work of the Contract that
the LBE and SLBE performs toward the LBE or SLBE Goal. When a LBE and SLBE
subcontracts part of the work on its Contract to another firm, the value of the subcontracted work
may be counted toward the LBE or SLBE goal if the Subcontractor is itself a LBE or SLBE.
Subcontracts to non-LBE and SLBE firms do not count toward the LBE and SLBE Goals. The
Authority will not count the dollar value of work performed under a Contract with a firm after it
has ceased to be certified toward the overall Goai. Tn addition, the Authority will not count the
participation of a LBE or SLBE Subcontractor toward the applicable LBE or SLBE Goal until
the LBE or SLBE has been paid.
VIII. MEANS TO INCREASE LBE AND SLBE PARTICIPATION
The Authority will use the following means to increase LBE and SLBE participation:
• Scheduling times for the presentation of bids, quantities, specifications, and delivery
schedules in ways that facilitate LBE and SLBE and other small business participation.
• To the extent practicable, unbundling large contracts to make them more accessible to
small businesses.
Encouraging Prime Contractors to subcontract portions of work that they might otherwise
perform with their own forces.
Providing assistance in overcoming limitations such as inability to obtain bonding or
financing by such means as simplifying the bonding process, reducing bonding

businesses, obtain bonding and financing.
Establishing formal processes for informing and notifying Prime Contractors and
Subcontractors ofProgram requirements and of all contracting opportunities.
• Notifying alI Subcontractors of change orders to ensure that the LBE and SLBE Goals are

• Maintain a listing of bonding and financial institutions that have demonstrated a
willingness to work with LBEs and SLBEs, and provide a copy of this list to any
individual, firm or organization upon request.

competitive pricing to small business enterprises for workers' compensation, liability
and other business insurance, and provide copies of this list to any person, firm or
organization upon request.
• Mobilize support, provide the Subcontractor with logistic information regarding
storing their equipment and supplies on the job site.
• Help the Subcontractor on the procedures and provide assistance in completing the
paperwork for submitting change orders.
Hold periodic workshops providing information on topics such as bonding and
underwriting standards and procedures for Subcontractors; business planning; record

assistance an operating highway construction, material supply, engineering or other
transportation related businesses; plan interpretation; estimating; bidding; cost
accounting methods; understanding and preparing project/contract documentation
(i.e. required forms, work schedules, and productions schedules}; safety regulations;
and networking and marketing.
• Monitoring the Subcontractor process by requiring proof of Subcontractor consent,
allowing sufficient time far contacting Subcontractors and "demonstrations" of Good
Faith Efforts by Prime Contractors.
• Providing information and communications programs on contracting procedures and
specific contract opportunities (e.g., ensuring the inclusion of LBEs and SLBEs and other
small businesses on recipient mailing lists for bidders; ensuring the dissemination to
bidders on prime contracts of lists of potential Subcontractors; provision of information
in languages other than English, where appropriate).

• Providing services to help LBEs and SLBEs and other small businesses improve long-
term development, increase opportunities to participate in a variety of kinds of work,
handle increasingly significant projects, and achieve eventual self-sufficiency.
IX. CERTIFICATION OF LBE AND SLBE FIRMS
A. Certification. LBEs and SLBEs must be certified prior to Bid opening, except as
otherwise approved by the Authority on a case by case basis, to determine whether the Prime
Contractor has met the applicable LBE and SLBE Goals. A business seeking to be certified as
an LBE or an SLBE must submit an application to the Authority. Each business seeking
certification under this Program shall complete an application. The application shall be signed
by the authorized representative of the business entity. If deemed appropriate, the Authority may
conduct a site visit before certifying the firm.
B. Recertification. Authority certification of an LBE or SLBE is valid for one (1)
year from the month of certification and must be renewed annually. A certified LBE or SLBE
shall initiate a streamlined annual recertification by submitting a written request to the Authority
and stating, under penalty of perjury, that there has been no change in the ownership of the firm.
A certified LBE or SLBE need not submit a new application for certification unless the fine does
not make such a request for the streamlined annual recertification or if the annual recertification
is denied.
C. Investigations and Challenges of LBE or SLBE Status. The Authority may
initiate an investigation of any firm's certification, if it has reason to believe there is some
question regazding the firm's eligibility as an LBE or an SLBE. While investigating a firm's
certification, the Authority will follow the guidelines and procedures used by Caltrans for
investigations and challenges of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises {DBEs).
The Authority will investigate any protest or complaint made by a person, another firm,
or an organization regarding the certification of an LBE or SLBE. Any protest shall be in
writing to the Authority, must clearly delineate the character of the protest, and must state the
reasons, including any evidence, on which the protester questions the validity of a LBE or SL$E
certification.
D. Decertification. Firms intentionally falsifying their status as an LBE or SLBE
maybe debarred from bidding on future. Authority work for a period of up to three years. A list
of firms decerfified within the last three years by the Authority or Sponsoring Agencies is
available upon request and will be sent to persons or businesses when the lists of certified LBE
or SLBE firms aze mailed.
The Sponsoring Agency shall inform the Authority within five (5}working days of
making a determination that it has reason to believe an organization has committed fraud in
representing that it is an LBE ar SLBE. The Sponsoring Agency shall report such organizations
to the appropriate government authorities.
X. JOINT VENTURES
Whenever a Joint Venture involves LBEs or SLBEs, the Prime Consultant shall provide
the Authority with a full account of the nature of the LBE or SLBE, the basis for creation of the
Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority Page E-17
Local Business Enterprise and SrnaU Local Business Enterprise Program
Joint Venture, and the responsibilities of the interested parties. Such Joint Venture shall ensure
that the participating LBEs or SLBEs have a commensurate share of the profit or loss to be
realized from the Joint Venture. The agreement establishing the Joint Venture shall be in
writing. The Authority shall have the right to review same and determine if such arrangement is
proper within the requirements and intent of this LBE/SLBE Program.
The dollar amount of the Joint Venture, which is to apply towards the goals for LBE and
SLBE participation, is calculated by the following formula:
Joint Percent LBE or SLBE Percent of Joint Venture
Venture X Joint Venture - Contract Applicable
Contract Financial Participation to LBE or SLBE Goal
XT. GOOD FAITH EFFORT TO ATTAIN GOALS
It is the Authority's intent and policy to fixlfill its goals for LBE and SLBE Participation.
If a bidder has failed to meet the LBE or SLBE Goals, the Authority must determine whether the
bidder actively and aggressively sought to meet the LBE and SLBE Goals. Efforts that are
merely pro forma shall not be deemed a Good Faith Effort by the Prime Contractor. Even if they
are sincerely motivated, efforts that could not reasonably be expected to produce a level of LBE
and SLBE Participation sufficient to meet the LBE and SLBE Goals are not Good Faith Efforts
as required by this Program.
i. Good Faith Effort Criteria. A Prime Contractor shall provide evidence that it
took the following actions in order to establish that it made a reasonable Good Faith Effort to
meet the Authority's LBE and SLBE Goals:
a. Attending pre-bid meetings scheduled by the Authority to inform all
bidders of the LBE/SLBE Program requirements for the project for which the Contract will be
awarded.
b. Identifying specific items of work to be performed by LBEs and SLBEs in
order to increase the likelihood of meeting the LBE and SLBE Goals, including breaking down
contracts into constructible units. Tbis includes, where appropriate, breaking out contract work
items into economically feasible units to facilitate LBE and SLBE participation.
c. Providing written notice of interest in soliciting bids on the Contract to
LBEs and SLBEs. Written notice shall specify which items of work the Prime Contractor has
identified pursuant to paragraph 2. This notice shall be provided to LBEs and SLBEs not less
than 10 calendar days prior to the opening of Bids, or pursuant to the notice period set forth in
the specifications for a given Contract. These solicitations shall include a description of the
specific items of work to be performed by the LBEs and SLBEs and all related conditions of the
work.
Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority Page E-18
Local Business Enterprise and Smal! Local Business Enterprise Program
4. Following up the written initial solicitations of interest by contacting the
owner or other manager of the LBEs and SLBEs to determine with certainty whether the
enterprises were interested in performing specific items of the project.
5. Making the project plans, specifications, and requirements for the selected
subcontracting or material supply work available for review by interested LBEs and SLBEs.
6. Where needed, advising and making efforts to assist interested LBEs and
SLBEs in obtaining lines of credit, or required insurance.
7. Negotiating in good faith with LBEs and SLBEs and, as determined by the
Authority, not unjustifiably rejecting as unsatisfactory bids prepared by any LBE or SLBE.
8. Not rejecting LBEs and SLBEs as being unqualified without sound
reasons based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities. A potential Subcontractor's
standing within its industry, membership in specific groups, organizations or associations, and
political or social affiliations (for example, union vs. non-union employee status) are not
legitimate causes for the rejection ornon-solicitation of bids in the Prime Contractor's efforts to
meet the LBE and SLBE Goals.
9. Contacting the Authority, identifying the LBEs and SLBEs contacted and
explaining any problems securing L$E and SLBE bidders at Ieast five (5) working days before
Bid opening.
10. Advertising, not less than ten (10) calendar days before the date the Bids
are opened, in one or more daily or weekly newspapers, trade association publications, trade
oriented publications, trade journals, ar other media, that maybe specified by the Authority to
solicit LBEs and SLBEs that are interested in participating in the project. This paragraph applies
only if the Authority gives public notice of the pmject not less than 15 calendar days prior to the
date the Bids are opened.
11. Requesting assistance from contractors' groups, or other organizations that
provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of LBEs and SLBEs, if any are available.
12. Making any other efforts to obtain LBE and SLBE Participation that the
Authority could reasonably expect would produce a level of participation sufficient to meet the
Authority's Goals and requirements.
Prime Contractors who have not met the LBE and SLBE Goals for participation will
demonstrate in their Bid documents that they have used Good Faith Efforts to utilize LBE and
SLBE subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers, brokers, truckers or owner/operators of
equipment. Before noon of the first working day following the date the Bid was submitted,
contractors who have not met the goal will submit a Good Faith Effort Report. The Prime
Contractor will list an the report the names of all LBEs or SLBEs contacted by the Prime
Contractor to solicit their Bids; the name and title of the person contacted; the date contact was
made; and the dates of all follow-up contacts. The Prime Contractors will also identify
specifically the selected items of work that Bids from LBEs and SLBEs were requested for; the
dates plans and specifications were made available to the LBEs and SLBEs; what technical
Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority Page E-.l9
Local Business Enterprise and Small Local Business Enterprise Program
.'
assistance was offered the LBEs and SLBEs; and the reason that the bid was rejected. Prime
Contractors will attach all letters and other documents relating to their efforts to comply with the
Good Faith Effort requirements to solicit LBE and SLBE Participation.
The Authority recognizes that a bidder using good business judgment would consider a
number of factors in negotiating with Subcontractors, including LBEs and SLBEs, and would
take a firm's price and capabilities as well as the Contract Goal into consideration. However, the
fact that there maybe some additional costs involved in finding and using LBEs and SLBEs is
not in itself sufficient reason for a bidder's failure to meet the LBE and SLBE Goals, as long as
such costs are reasonable. Also, the ability or desire of a Prime Contractor to perform the work
of a Contract with its own organization does not relieve the bidder of the responsibility to make
Good Faith Efforts. Prime Contractors aze not, however, required to accept higher quotes from
LBEs and SLBEs if the price difference is excessive or unreasonable.
B. Good Faith Effort Review. if a bidder has not met the goals for LBE and SLBE
Participation, the Sponsoring Agency shall investigate whether the Prime Contractor made a
Good Faith Effort to meet the LBE and SLBE Goals and shall recommend to the Authority's
Board whether the Bid should be accepted or rejected. In its investigation, the Sponsoring
Agency may contact the LBEs and SLBEs listed on the Goad Faith Effort Report to verify the
information provided by the bidder. The bidder will also provide further documentation
regarding its efforts to attain LBE and SLBE Participation as requested by the Authority or
Sponsoring Agency.
Whenever the Authority or Sponsoring Agency recommends rejection of a Bid that has
not met the LBE or SLBE Goals, the Prime Contractor may appeal the rejection of its Bid to the
Good Faith Effort Review Committee ("Committee") assembled for this purpose by the
Authority. The Prime Contractor must notify the Authority of its intent to appeal within three (3)
days of the Authority's decision to reject the Prime Contractor's Bid. The Committee will
review the Authority or Sponsoring Agency's decision to award a Contract based on Good Faith
Effort when the LBE and/or SLBE Goals aze not met. The Committee shall consist of three (3}
members appointed by the Authority and shall include an Authority staff member, an Authority
Board representative, and a representative of the respective Sponsoring Agency, if any.
The Committee shall hold a hearing in Alameda County. All Subcontractors listed on the
Good Faith Report will be given notice of the hearing at least ten (10) days before it takes place.
The Committee will review evidence at the hearing to determine whether the Prime Contractor
made a Good Faith Effort to meet the LBE and SLBE Goals. The Committee shall review and
keep confidential any information revealing a Prime Contractor's proprietary interests and shall
exclude the public from the hearing for that limited purpose. The Committee shall give the
bidders and Subcontractors participating in bids on the project an opportunity to present evidence
relating to the Prime Contractor's Good Faith Effort to meet the LBE and SLBE Goals.
The Committee's decision on the Prime Contractor's Good Faith Effort shall be final.
The Authority or Sponsoring Agency will rely on the decision of the Committee, and the
Authority will hold the Sponsoring Agency harmless for implementing the decision of the
Committee.

APPENDIX A
California Code of Regulations'
Definition of Small Businesses
(j) "Average Annual Gross Receipts" means all pecuxuazy gross receipts (less returns,
allowances and interaffiliate transactions}, the assignment of such receipts notwithstanding, of a
business concern from whatever source derived, as entered or to have been entered on its regular
books of account for its most recently completed fiscal year (whether on a cash, accrual,
completed contracts, percentage of completion or other commonly recognized and accepted
accounting method). Proof of average annual gross receipts must be provided in the form of
either:
(1) A copy of completed tax returns (with all schedules}, as filed with the United States
Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, for Federal income tax purposes; or
(2} Audited financial statements covering the applicant business concern and all affiliates; or
(3) If the documents requited under 1 or 2 above are unavailable, an unaudited financial
statement covering the applicant business concern and all affiliates; and
(4) A duly swam and notarized statement which attests to the truthfulness and accuracy of the
unaudited financial statement as well as the authority of the signatory to make such
representation regarding the applicant business concern and a promise to provide the information
required under 1 or 2 above within 90 days of the effective date of certification.
Average annual gross receipts will be determined by adding the gross receipts for the applicant
concern and any affiliates during the previous three tax years and dividing by three. Should a
sole proprietorship or partnership be in business for less than three tax yeazs, additional prior
year(s) personal and affiliate gross receipts will be considered to complete the aggregate gross
receipts for the previous three years to be averaged. Should a corporation be in business for less
than three tax yeazs, the average annual gross receipts will be determined by dividing the total
gross receipts by
If a concern which has been in business more than 12 months changes its tax year (fiscal year),
its annual receipts will be determined from its most recently completed 36 months period in
business. Once the new fiscal year has been completed, the Office of Small and Minority
Business, also known as the Office of Small Business Certification and Resources, may require a
new application which sets forth the applicant's annual receipts under the new fiscal year cycle.
If a concern has acquired an affiliate during the applicable tax year, it is necessary in computing
the applicant's annual receipts, to include the affiliate's receipts during the entire applicable tax
year, rather than only its receipts during the period in which it has been an affiliate during a
portion of the applicable tax yeaz.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The SPONSOR is responsible for the delivery of the overall I-580 Auxiliary Lane Project,
ACTIA 14.
Segment 14A - I-580 Auxiliary Lane Westbound between Fallon Road and Tassajara Road
Segment 14A of the PROJECT will construct an auxiliary lane on Westbound I-580 between
Fallon Road and Tassajara Road.
The City of Dublin is responsible for the construction of the I-580/Fallon Road Interchange
Modification Project, a local project not associated with the SPONSOR or ACTIA. SPONSOR
will prepare agreements for the City of Dublin to construct and provide construction
management for the PROJECT as part of the construction of the I-580/ Fallon Road Interchange
Modification Project.
This PROJECT has been environmentally cleared for CEQA by the City of Dublin. SPONSOR,
at its own expense, will secure environmental clearance for NEPA and will prepare design
documents with SPONSOR consultant for the PROJECT. No right-of--way acquisition is
required. It is anticipated that the City of Dublin will construct Segment 14A of the PROJECT
as part of its I-580/Fallon Road Interchange Modification Project. The City of Dublin will be
reimbursed for construction of PROJECT by SPONSOR, who will be reimbursed by ACTIA.
Segment 14B - I-580 Auxiliary Lane Westbound between Airway Boulevard and Fallon
Road -Segment 14B of the PROJECT will construct an auxiliary lane on Westbound I-580
between Airway Boulevard and Fallon Road. It is presently anticipated that no right-of--way will
be required for this segment.
Segment 14C - I-580 Auxiliary Lane Eastbound between EI Charro Road and Airway
Boulevard -Segment 14C of the PROJECT will construct an auxiliary lane on Eastbound I-580
between El Charro Road and Airway Boulevard. This segment is part of the SPONSOR's
Eastbound I-580 HOV Lane project. SPONSOR, at its own expense, will environmentally clear,
prepare design documents, and construct improvements required for the PROJECT. The $7.715
million in ACTIA funds for this segment were the subject of an exchange for STP/CMAQ funds
for the I-238 Widening Project and were approved by the Board in March 2005, with the mutual
understanding that SPONSOR shall implement this Segment 14C.
Segment 14D - I-580 Auxiliary Lane Eastbound between Santa Rita Road and El Charro
Road -Segment 14D of the PROJECT consists of an auxiliary lane on Eastbound I-580 between
EI Charro Road and Airway Boulevard. This Segment has been completed as part of the City of
Dublin's I-580/ Tassajara Road-Santa Rita Road Interchange Modification Project.

DEFINITION OF FULL FUNDING FOR PROJECTS AND PHASES PRIOR TO THE

This "Def nition of Full Funding for Projects and Phases Prior to the Expenditure of Measure B
Funds" has been approved as a new Policy. Please refer to the Policy Section of this document.
Definitiox ojF~dl Fvrtdirtg
Approved Jvrte 24, 2004
Revised to a Policy March 12, 2007
ACTIA POLICIES
DEFINITION OF FULL FUNDING FOR PROJECTS AND PHASES PRIOR TO THE
EXPENDITURE OF MEASURE B FUNDS
(Revision 1)
INTENT
The Expenditure Plan requires that a capital project be fully funded before Measure B funds are
expended on the project. Some Measure B capital projects are funded with only with Measure B
funds while others are funded from a variety of funding sources. These other sources may be
comprised of local, state, and federal funds. Non-Measure B funds are classified as Committed
Funds orNon-committed Funds. The intent of the Policy is to define the requirements for
funding prior to the use of Measure B funds.
POLICY
Capital Projects included in the Expenditure Plan shall be considered "fully funded" if they
have funding plans that meet the Funding Criteria below. For Capital Projects, the Sponsor's
commitment to provide funding for all Project shortfalls is incorporated in their Funding
Agreements with ACTIA. No additional commitment language is required.
Phases of Capital Projects will be considered a "fully funded phase" by meeting the
requirements of Funding Criteria A or B prior to receiving an allocation of Measure B funds for
the phase. Language within the Project Specific Funding Agreement defines the actions required
if a phase loses its full funding during development. The Sponsor commitment for additional
funds is incorporated in their Funding Agreements with ACTIA.
Funding Criteria
ACTIA Capital Projects and Phases are considered "Fully Funded" if their Funding Plan meets
one of the following Criteria:
A. Funded totally by ACTIA with a commitment from Sponsor for additional funds to cover
project overruns beyond the Measure B amount.
B. Funded from ACTIA plus other Committed Funds, with commitment from Sponsor for
additional funds to cover project overruns beyond the Measure B amount.
Definitions
Non-Measure B funds are classified as Committed Funds as follows:
Committed Funds are funds that are committed by the agency with discretionary
authority over the funds to the specific capital project by ordinance, resolution,
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) or Strategic Plan. State Committed Funds are
arty funds allocated by the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
Federal Committed Funds are funds authorized by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) or Federal Transit Administration (FTA). State and
Federal Committed Funds may be through the adoption of the Federal
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) or the Regional Transportation
Definition Full Funding

Program (RTP). Committed Funds include those funds that are programmed in
these documents, but not necessarily allocated. Funds that are anticipated for the
specific capital project in a long-range planning document such as the
Countywide Transportation Plan (CWTP) or from a State or Federal funding
source in the future beyond the sources' committed funding cycle are also
considered Committed Funds.
Definition Full Funding
Approved June 24, 2004
Revision I to Full Funding Policy
Approved March 22, 2007
POLICY ON ELIGIBLE COSTS
(Revision No. 1)
INTENT
ACTIA Capital Projects funds are intended for use in delivering PROJECTS requested by
SPONSORS as described in the "Alameda County's 20-Year Transportation Expenditure Plan"
(PLAN). These PROJECTS are delivered through the cooperative efforts of the SPONSOR and
ACTIA. ACTIA will limit the costs that are eligible for reimbursement to those costs directly
related to the PROJECTS and assure that the SPONSOR is providing efficient oversight and
management of the PROJECT. The following POLICY therefore limits the costs that are
eligible for reimbursement by ACTIA.
POLICY
Costs submitted to ACTIA for reimbursement are considered. Eligible Costs if they meet the
following criteria for specific Phases of the PROJECT:
Scoping /Preliminary Engineering /Environmental Document Phase
ACTIA funds are eligible to reimburse expenses incurred for SPONSOR staff and consultants
for activities necessary to scope the PROJECT, to do preliminary engineering and to finalize and
approve the appropriate environmental document for the PROJECT.
Plan, Specification and Estimate (PS&E) Phase
ACTIA funds are eligible for the PS&E Phase to reimburse expenses incurred for SPONSOR
staff and consultants for design activities necessary to prepare final PS&E for bid and for
services necessary to advertise and award the PROJECT for the scope identified in the PLAN or
as later identified in the environmental document.
If the SPONSOR wishes to include items of work not covered under the description of
PROJECT, the cost for including the additional work shall be segregated and the cost borne by
the SPONSOR from non-ACTIA fund sources. Items of work that would fall into this area
would be the correction or betterment ofpre-existing non-transportation related items.
Right-of--Way Acquisition Phase
ACTIA funds are eligible for expenses incurred for SPONSOR staff and consultants for all
activities related to right-of--way, advanced right-of--way, and hardship acquisitions.
Right-of--way activities involved with property not necessary for the PROJECT shall be at the
expense of the SPONSOR where these costs can be determined.
If any excess right-of--way is sold, or otherwise disposed of, the value of such property shall be
returned to ACTIA based on the prorated percentage of funds ACTIA contributed to the
purchase of the property.
Policy Regarding Eligible Costs
ApprovedApri! 19, 2001
Revision Na. 1 Approved February 22, 2007
If condemnation procedures are required to obtain access to right-of--way, ACTIA will consider
the required deposit as an eligible cost and reimburse the SPONSOR upon request. If the
amount of ACTIA reimbursement to the SPONSOR is higher than the ACTIA share of the
amount of settlement in the final order of condemnation, the SPONSOR shall pay ACTIA the
difference between the amount reimbursed and the ACTIA share of the amount settled plus the
ACTIA share of the interest accrued to the deposit account.
Property acquired for the PROJECT using ACTIA funds shall be available for project
construction within ten (10) years of ACTIA reimbursement to the SPONSOR. If, after ten (I O)
years, the property has not been utilized for construction of the PROJECT, the SPONSOR shall
reimburse ACTIA for its proportional share of the fair market value of the property, based on the
net proceeds from the sale of the property or an appraisal of the property conducted at no cost to
ACTIA, within one (1) year after the expiration of this ten (10}-year period.
Ifright-of--way is acquired for the PROJECT and is not utilized for PROJECT purposes because
the PROJECT is removed from the PLAN, ACTIA shall be reimbursed its proportional share of
the fair market value of the property, based on the net proceeds from the sale of the property or
an appraisal of the property conducted at no cost to ACTIA, within one (1) year from the time
the PROJECT is removed from the PLAN.
Utility Relocation Phase
ACTIA funds are eligible to reimburse expenses incurred for SPONSOR staff, consultants,
contractors and suppliers for all Utility Relocation work directly related to the PROJECT as
described in the appropriate Project Specific Funding Agreement (SPECIFIC AGREEMENT).
Construction Phase
ACTIA funds are eligible to reimburse expenses incurred for SPONSOR staff, consultants,
contractors and suppliers for all construction expenditures on the PROJECT that are part of the
scope of work agreed to by ACTIA. ACTIA funds are eligible for reimbursement of
SPONSOR'S management oversight expenses associated with the construction of the PROJECT.
SPONSOR may include additional work beyond the scope of work for the Measure B PROJECT
at their expense. These costs will be segregated from the other item work expenses and paid for
with non-ACTIA funds. Items of work within the scope, but utilizing more expensive than
standard treatment, such as specialized lighting standards and signs, more elaborate landscaping,
specialized treatment on the face of soundwalls/retaining walls, and specialized
sidewalk/hardscape treatments will be eligible for reimbursement only if they are agreed to in
advance and no additional ACTIA funds are required.
Proposed contract change orders that may arise once the contract has been awarded will be
reviewed on a case-by-case basis by ACTIA for approval to be reimbursed with ACTIA funds.
ACTIA will require written approval of such change orders over $25,000 (unless the ACTIA
Board approves otherwise through the SPECIFIC AGREEMENT).
Policy Regarding Eligible Costs
Approved Apri119, 2001
Revision No. 1 Approved February 12, 2007
Rolling Stock and Equipment Acquisition
Rolling stock purchased by SPONSOR and reimbursed by ACTIA shall remain in the
SPONSOR fleet for a minimum of five (5) years. If the rolling stock is removed from the fleet
prior to the stated five years, SPONSOR shall notify ACTIA as to the disposition of the rolling
stock. If the rolling stock is sold and the receipts of the sale are not used to purchase
replacement rolling stock, the proceeds from the sale shall be returned to ACTIA for future use
on the PROJECT.
SPONSOR shall prepare and submit to ACTIA for approval, prior to the beginning of service, an
operations schedule indicating the frequency, vehicle type and operating hours of the rolling
stock purchased by SPONSOR for the PROJECT. The rolling stock used in this service will be
the type as that purchased with ACTIA funds, but may not be the exact vehicles due to the need
to rotate vehicles in the fleet. The approved service level shall be maintained, as a minimum, for
five (5) years. In the event that the minimum service level is not maintained, SPONSOR shall
reimburse ACTIA for its share of the reduced service based on vehicle needs for the reduced
service and the salvage value of the rolling stock purchased by SPONSOR and reimbursed by
ACTIA.
Specialized equipment required for the PROJECT may be eligible for reimbursement with
ACTIA funds. Specialized Equipment must be identified in an executed SPECIFIC
AGREEMENT in order to be eligible.
Bonding Costs
If the ACTIA Board determines that it is in the best interest of the PLAN to sell bonds, or
otherwise incur financing costs to develop PROJECTS, the cost of bonding and financing,
including interest payments, shall be considered a PLAN cost and shall be identified in the
ACTIA Strategic Plan as the first priority repayment.
If a SPONSOR wishes to independently Bond or use other approved borrowing programs,
ACTIA funds are eligible to reimburse expenses incurred by SPONSOR staff and consultants
and for payments and the associated cost of financing that is required to provide the financing for
the PROJECT.
Exchanging ACTIA Funds
ACTIA funds may be exchanged through Exchange Programs recognized by ACTIA on a case
by case basis. Any exchange of ACTIA funds will be recognized in the appropriate SPECIFIC
AGREEMENT prior to reimbursement.
SPONSOR Staff Costs
Costs for SPONSOR staff dedicated directly to management or development work on the
PROJECT will be eligible for reimbursement. Hourly wages and fringe benefits for SPONSOR
staff will be reimbursed based on the audited fringe benefit rate supplied by the SPONSOR.
ACTIA will review and approve an approved fringe benefit rate based on the SPONSOR
supplied documentation. Approved fringe benefit rates will be set forth in the SPECIFIC
AGREEMENT, but in no case will fringe benefits of more than 70% of hourly wage be
approved.

Revision No. 1 Approved Febr7~a~y 22, 2007
POLICY REGARDING THE DEFINITION AND USE OF EXCESS REVENUES AND
UNUSED FUNDS
Excess Revenues
Excess Revenues are those funds that exceed the funding shown in Alameda County's 20-year
Transportation Expenditure Plan {PLAN). Excess revenues can come from higher than expected
receipts or lower than expected project costs.
Excess revenues are programmed annually in the ACTIA Strategic Plan based on geographic
equity and the following priorities:
1. Meet the unanticipated needs of Tier 1 projects over the PLAN amount.
2. Address gaps in Special Transportation Service for seniors and People with
Disabilities.
3. Fund Tier 2 projects.
Unused Funds
Unused Funds are those funds that become available should a planned project become infeasible,
unfundable or funded by others due to circumstances unforeseen at the time of the PLAN
preparation.
Unused Funds will be programmed to another project in the same planning area with the
approval of a majority of the cities (and County for unincorporated areas) representing a majority
of the population in the planning area.
Any project eligible for funding must be in the PLAN. The PLAN may be amended by a two-
thirds vote of the ACTIA Board. All jurisdictions within the County will be given a minimum of
45 days to comment on the proposed PLAN amendment.
Policy Regarding Definition/Use Excess Rev/Unused Farads
Approved December 6, 2001
POLICY REGARDING ACTIA FUNDS SPENT OR ALLOCATED TO PROJECTS
THAT ARE LATER REMOVED FROM THE PLAN.
INTENT
It is the intent of ACTIA to fund projects shown in Alameda County's 20-year Transportation
Expenditure Plan (PLAN) in accordance with the limitations set forth in the PLAN. In the event
that PLAN projects cannot be delivered for any reason, the equitable close out of the project is
contained in this Policy.
POLICY
Where more than ACTIA funds are required to complete a project, SPONSOR shall secure
additional funding. In the event that SPONSOR cannot secure additional funding, and/or the
scope of a project cannot be reduced to meet the available funds and still conform to the PLAN
requirements, or where SPONSOR does not meet the delivery schedule and a project is removed
from the PLAN, SPONSOR and ACTIA agree to share expenditures on eligible costs to date on
the following basis:
Costs expended to Scope a project shall be considered reimbursable costs and shall
be paid for in total by ACTIA.
a. The amount of these costs shall be limited by agreement prior to the expenditure
of such funds, and are genera]ly limited to no more than 10% of the ACTIA
participation.
b. Tasks under this PHASE shall be limited by agreement to those tasks necessary to
determine the scope and funding requirements of a project.
2. Costs expended for any PHASE beyond the Scope PHASE shall be shared on a
proportionate share basis. Each proportionate share shall be based on the proposed
ALAN capital expenditures. The ACTIA proportionate share of eligible costs shall
be calculated based on the percentage anticipated in the PLAN or that developed in
the Scope PHASE as discussed above. The formula shall be as follows:
ACTIA Funds in PLAN
(97/98 dollars)
ACTIA Proportionate Share =
Total Project Cost in
PLAN (97/98 dollars)
X Eligible Costs
The remainder of the eligible costs shall be the SPONSOR's Proportionate Share.
In the case where "Other Funding Sources" amounts are shown in the PLAN as "tbd" (to be
determined) then the formula shall be altered in the SPECIFIC AGREEMENT with the
SPONSOR to reflect proportionate risk and the proposed size of the particular project.
In the event that funds have been expended prior to the removal of a project from the PLAN, the
proportionate shares shall be calculated as indicated above. If the ACTIA proportionate share is
less than the amount of ACTIA funds paid to SPONSOR, SPONSOR shall reimburse ACTIA the
Policy Regarding Projects Removed from the Plan
Approved December 6. 2001
amount paid to SPONSOR in excess of the ACTIA proportionate share. If the ACTIA
proportionate share is more than the amount of ACTIA funds paid to SPONSOR, ACTIA shall
reimburse SPONSOR subject to the following limitations:
• In no case, shall the ACTIA proportionate share exceed the amount specified in the
PLAN as escalated by the terms of the Master Project Funding Agreement.
• In no case, shall ACTIA reimburse SPONSOR for more than SPONSOR'S actual out of
pocket eligible costs.
Policy Regrading Projects Removed from the Plan
Approved December 6, 2001
POLICY REGARDING PROGRAM FINANCING COSTS
INTENT
ACTIA wishes to implement alI of the PLAN projects as soon as possible. In order to do this,
demands for funds may temporarily exceed income during the duration of the Program. In order
to meet these demands, ACTIA may borrow against future income. Should this become
necessary, the cost for such financing shall be attributed to Capita] Projects included in the
PLAN and any PLAN programmatic expenditures requiring advanced funding.
POLICY
It is difficult if not impossible to determine which projects are using borrowed funds and which
projects are using accumulated income. In order to simpli:Cy and provide equity to all
SPONSORS, the following policy shall be used.
If the ACTIA Board determines that it is in the best interest of the PLAN to sell bonds, or
otherwise incur financing costs to develop projects, the cost of bonding and financing, including
interest payments, shall be considered a PLAN cost and shall be identified in the ACTIA
Strategic Plan as the first priority repayment. The financing costs will reduce the overall funding
level available to be distributed to all projects.
If Programmatic Expenditures in the PLAN require the advancement of funds, funds shall be
repaid to ACTIA with interest. Interest shall cover the specific Programmatic Expenditure share
of financing costs and interest.
Policy Regarding P~ngittm Financing Casts
Approved December 6, 2001
POLICY REGARDING THE TIMELY USE OF ALLOCATED MEASURE B FLJNDS
FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS
(Revision No. 1)
PURPOSE
The Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA) intends to maxirnize the
benefits to the transportation system in Alameda County resulting from Measure B, and to have
those benefits realized as soon as possible. While project sponsors are responsible for individual
project management and administration, ACTIA is responsible for the management of the; overall
Measure B capital projects program. At some point, it is expected that ACTIA will need to
secure financing to back its funding commitment to capital project delivery schedules. The
amount and timing of such financing will have a significant effect on the cost of financing, and
the cost of financing will directly reduce the amount of funding available for capital Irojects.
The intent of the timely use of allocated funds policy is to encourage project sponsors to request
allocation amounts in the fiscal years that reflect the anticipated draw down of Measure F3 funds.
This will allow ACTIA to maintain and manage an overall schedule of commitments for the
Measure B capital projects program.
TIMELY USE OF FUNDS FOR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
Allocated amounts for the scoping, preliminary engineering/environmental studies, final design,
right-of--way support, right-of--way capital, and utilities phases must be drawn down by thf; end of
the second fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the funds are allocated. No
reimbursements for the scoping, preliminary engineering/environmental studies, final design,
right-of--way support, right-of--way capital, and utilities contracts will be made until ,ACTIA
receives copies of all contract documents and the Sponsor's approved board action or resolution
awarding the contract for which ACTIA reimbursement is requested.
TIMELY USE OF FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Allocated amounts for construction capital and equipment purchase must be encumbered by the
award of a contract within 18 months of the date of allocation. Allocated amounts for the
construction, construction engineering and equipment purchase phases must be drawn down
within 12 months of the date of contract acceptance. No reimbursements for construction,
construction engineering or equipment purchase contracts will be made until ACTIA receives an
award package including copies of all contract documents and the Sponsor's approved board
action or resolution awarding the contract.
EXTENSION REQUEST
Once funds are allocated, project sponsors may request aone-time extension to each of the
deadlines described above. One-time extension requests must include justification :For the
extension, including a current project schedule by phase, and an explanation of any changes in
the schedules since the approval of the allocation application. Allocation extensions slhall be
Limited to 12 months.
Policy Regarding Timely Use ojA(Iocated Fimds
Approved April 22, 2004
Revision No. I Approved May, 2005
Unexpended portions of allocated amounts that fail to meet the deadlines, or extended deadlines,
described above are subject to ACTIA's policies and procedures regarding unused funds.
Unexpended portions of allocated amounts remaining after final reimbursement of an allocated
phase prior to scheduled deadlines are returned to the project's programmed balance without an
escalation adjustment.
Timely Use of FY 2002-03 Measure BAllocations -Funds allocated in the FY 2002-03
Strategic Plan will expire at the end of FY 2005-06 and any unused allocations will be returned
to the Project's Programmed Balance, unescalated.
Policy Regarding Timely Use of Allocated Funds
Approved April 11, 2004
Revision No. 1 Approved May, 2005
POLICY REGARDING THE TIMING LIMITATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
APPROVAL
(Revision No. 1)
INTENT
The ACTIA adopted "Alameda County's 20-year Transportation Expenditure Plan" (PLA.N)
contains provisions for geographic equity. Projects which cannot clear the Environmentalf
Approval process or cannot do so in a timely manner are subject to deletion under the PLAN by
declaring the unencumbered funds as "unused funds". Unused funds are returned to the
geographic area thereby maintaining the geographic equity included in the PLAN.
The PLAN establishes a deadline for environmental approval for each PROJECT that recf;ives
Measure B funding. Approval is defined as the issuance of a Categorical Exclusion (CE), a
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or the filing of the Record of Decision (ROD) for
NEPA documents and the Notice of Determination (NOD) or Notice of Exemption for C>~;QA
documents. That deadline is April 1, 2007, however the PLAN includes provisions for one-year
extensions to the deadline, if approved by the ACTIA Board.
The intent is to assure continued "due diligence" by the SPONSOR to secure environmental
clearance.
POLICY
This policy is to clarify the requirements for one-year extensions.
Projects that are dependent on other projects not managed by SPONSOR or are
substantially rescoped to match changed conditions may be granted automatic one year
extensions through Apri12011. After that time, SPONSOR must make application to the
Board for additional extensions.
In the event that the Administrative Draft Environmental Document has not been
submitted for review by April 2007, no time extension will be recommended by staff
unless one of the following conditions is met.
1. A time extension of one year may be recommended for projects where the
SPONSOR has started the environmental process, and has worked diligently on
critical items in an ACTIA-approved project schedule showing initial completion
before Apri12007.
2. Projects with an original ACTIA-approved schedule starting the Environme;ntal
Document prior to April 2003 and showing environmental approval after April
2007 shall automatically be recommended for extensions to the year of scheduled
approval
Projects not meeting the criteria above are required to make direct application to the
ACTIA Board to justify any time extensions. In the event that the Board does not l;rant
any time extensions, Staff will recommend that the project be deleted from the PLAN.

POLICY REGARDING TRAFFIC SIGNAL ENHANCEMENT ON MEASURE B
FUNDED CAPITAL PROJECTS
The Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA) and its project sponsors
recognize that certain traffic signal design features may provide benefit to pedestrian/bicycle and
transit mobility. Therefore, ACTIA encourages project sponsors to include the following
elements into Measure B-funded capital projects and the costs are eligible for reimbursement
with Measure B funds.
• Audible Pedestrian Signals
• . Adjustable Pedestrian Timings
• Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption.
The above features may be incorporated into the traffic signal design at the discretion of project
sponsors and any participating agencies. In the request for capital project reimbursement, the
sponsor shall indicate whether these features were considered for inclusion in the project and the
f nal decision of inclusion of these three signal elements in the project shall rest with the project
sponsor.
Project sponsors may also propose other features which would assist in the improvement of
pedestrian, bicycle and transit mobility. Such features may include but are not Limited to the
following:
• Transit priority treatments
• Queue jumper lane
• Pedestrian countdown clocks
• Lighted crosswalks
• Traffic calming strategies
• Enhanced crosswalk pavement markings (such as ladder crosswalks)
• Other treatments as appropriate.
These and other appropriate design features will be evaluated on a case by case basis and may be
deemed eligible for reimbursement. Should ACTIA chose not to reimburse such features, it shall
do so in writing to the project sponsor and shall provide a copy to the Citizens Advisory
Committee.
Andible Pedestrian Signal
Project Sponsors are encouraged to consider the inclusion of audible features on Measure B-
funded Capital Projects that involve installation of new signals or modification existing traffic
signals. The Authority will consider the costs for implementing this policy as allowable eligible
costs for reimbursement. As part of the request for funding reimbursement process, Project
Sponsors will indicate whether or not audible pedestrian signals were considered.
Policy Regarding Traffic Sigtzal Enhancement
Approved September 16, 2001
Adjustable Pedestrian Timing
On Measure B-funded Capital Projects that involve installation of new signals or modification of
existing traffic signals, ACTIA encourages the Project Sponsor to consider the various mc;thods
of adjustable pedestrian timing for implementation where the Project Sponsors deems adjustable
pedestrian timing appropriate. Adjustable pedestrian timing installations will be considered as
eligible costs for reimbursement by ACTIA. As part of the request for funding reimbursement
process, Project Sponsors will indicate whether or not adjustable pedestrian timing was
considered.
Emergency Vehicle Preemption
On Measure B-funded Capital Projects that involve installation of new signals or modification of
existing traffic signals, Project Sponsors are encouraged to consider the installation of
emergency vehicle preemption devices on the signals. Emergency vehicle preemption
equipment (reception devices on the traffic signals and emitters on the vehicles) will be
considered as eligible costs for reimbursement by ACTIA. As part of the request for funding
reimbursement process, Project Sponsors will indicate whether or not emergency vehicle
preemption was considered.
Transit Priority Treatments
The Authority does not have a policy to encourage transit priority treatments on all signals
because the issues of effectiveness and technology are still being studied on pilot projects.
However, on the appropriate Measure B funded Capital Projects, the Project Sponsor will be
encouraged to consider transit priority. Transit priority equipment (reception devices on the
traffic signal and emitters on the buses) will be considered as eligible costs for reimbursement by
ACTIA.
Queue Jumper Lanes
The Authority does not have a policy to encourage queue jumper lanes on all signals at this time,
since the cost ramifications may be substantial. Staff will encourage Project Sponsors to discuss
the potential for queue jumper lanes with the appropriate transit agencies during project
development. If the Project Sponsor and the transit agency agree to include queue jumping;
elements in the project, the Authority will consider the costs for implementing this policy as
allowable eligible costs for reimbursement.

ACTIA PROCEDURES
MEASURE B CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDING PROCEDURE
SUMMARY
The following summary outlines the process for funding ACTIA Capital Projects. It begins with the
programming process and ends with the reimbursement process. It is intended to provide an
understanding of how projects are funded from the initial programming in the Expenditure Plan through
the final reimbursement to Sponsors at the completion of the project. The following steps track the
programming and reimbursement process:
1. Programming of funds -The Expenditure Plan contains the initial programmed amounts for
capital projects in 1998 dollars.
2. Initial programmed amounts are updated to the beginning of the Program (2002) -This is
accomplished by multiplying the initial programmed amounts by the change in the California
Highway Construction Cost Index (CCI) from 1998 to 2002 (1.2348); thus creating the
programmed amount.
3. Breakdown programmed amounts by phase and by year -The Project Sponsor provides
the programmed amount breakdown by phase and year during the development of the yearly
update of the Strategic Plan, If the breakdown indicates that a phase will begin in the fiscal
year of that Strategic Plan update, funding of the phase is considered "requested" and is
included in the Draft Strategic Plan update. A confirming letter is sent to Sponsor.
4. Allocated amounts are developed based on the confirmation letter discussed above.
Adjustments are made to the Final Strategic Plan Update to reflect Sponsor agreement on the
allocated amounts. Allocated amounts can be modified throughout the fiscal year if requested
by the project sponsor. If the allocation request shows that a phase will begin during that
Strategic Plan update year and continue over multiple years, the entire phase is allocated in the
years requested and subtracted from the programmed amount balance. The use of Allocated
funds is subject to the ACTIA's Timely Use of Allocated Funds Folicy.
The programmed amount balance for a given capital project is reduced during a given fiscal
year by any amounts allocated during that fiscal year's Strategic Plan process. The ending
programmed amount balance for a given fiscal year is adjusted by the Program Escalation
Factor (PEF) using the California Highway Construction Cost Index (CHCCI) to become the
beginning programmed amount balance for the following fiscal year. The beginning
programmed amount balance for a given fiscal year is the amount still available for allocation
for future years.
6. Funding Agreements authorizing the expenditure of ACTIA funds are created to allow
Sponsors to be reimbursed for eligible costs on a phase of the project. Agreement amounts are
limited by the amount allocated for the phase and reimbursement is limited by year. The
agreement may contain separate amounts for reimbursement of contract costs, Sponsor costs
and ACTIA services. Agreements amounts are subtracted from the allocated amounts leaving
an allocated amount balance.
Procedure Measttt•e B Capital Projects Fu»ding
Approved June 24, 2004
7. Allocation adjustments -Allocated amounts maybe adjusted at any time, but program
escalation adjustments are not made beyond the initial year of allocation. Adjustment of the
allocated amount is possible in two ways. First, if requested by the Sponsor, the ACTIA
Executive Director has the authority to adjust allocation amounts between phases of a project
subject to assurance that moving allocations from one phase to another will not adversely
affect the project delivery. The second adjustment is to request a Strategic Plan Amendment
for ACTIA Board approval to adjust the total allocated amount. If this action results in a
lower allocation amount, the un-allocated amounts are returned to the programmed amount
balance in the year they are un-allocated without program escalation being applied.
8. Sponsor reimbursement -Sponsors may incur eligible costs on projects either by separate
ACTIA Board authority authorizing the Sponsor to incur eligible costs prior to executing a
funding agreement or by executing a funding agreement. Eligible costs will be reimbursed
after a funding agreement is executed for eligible staff and eligible contract costs. 'The
Sponsor is required to submit a request for reimbursement for each phase of the work.
9. Agreement amount balance -Reimbursed eligible costs are subtracted from the agreement
amounts leaving the agreement amount balance.

ACTIA EXPENDITURE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS
The Measure B Expenditure Plan approved by the voters in November 2000, requires reporting
related to capital expenditures of Measure B revenues, whether the expenditures are incurred
directly by Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA) or by a
SPONSOR seeking reimbursement. Measure B includes provisions for reporting expenditures to
a Citizens Watchdog Committee as a means of accountability. The Authority's contracting
practices and policies require that capital expenditures be tracked at the individual vendor Level
including sub-consultants and sub-contractors. Prime consultants and contractors that have
agreements directly with ACTIA project sponsors will be required to submit summaries of
expenditures showing invoiced amounts for each individual vendor along with paid-to-date
amounts for each attached to their invoices. ACTIA has prepared contract language for
SPONSOR's use to include these requirements in contracts. This information is available
through the contacts listed below.
In addition to invoices showing expenditures by phase and task, SPONSORS and vendors will be
required to submit monthly or quarterly reports regarding the project status.
The following forms and instructions must be used by SPONSORS in requesting reimbursement.
Deficient submittals will be returned to the SPONSOR or vendor for correction and re-submittal.
The following fonns and instructions are requirements for reimbursement of costs incurred on
ACTIA funded projects. If you have any questions regarding these forms and their use, please
contact the Project Control Team at 510-893-3347.

ACTIA PROJECT REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURE
Reimbursement of SPONSOR eligible costs is contingent upon meeting the terms indicated in
the respective funding agreements. The following procedures should be adhered to in order to
expedite the reimbursement process.
Each funding agreement addresses the project phase funded by ACTIA and the different funding
conditions. The following procedures are provided to address these conditions. In the event that
unique conditions occur, please contact your ACTIA Project Manager for assistance prior to
submittal. Keep in mind that it is the goal of this process to allow ACTIA to track the cost and
LBE/SLBE participation for each Contract for each PHASE (as defined in the Agreements) of
your project and provide adequate backup information to assure ACTIA that the costs being
submitted for reimbursement meet ACTIA's Eligible Cost criteria.
Prior to submittal of a Request for Reimbursement (FORM 5), SPONSOR submits a
Vendor Contract Phase Information Form (FORM 3) and/or Sponsor Staff Approval
Form (FORM 1) to ACTIA for approval.
After completing Step 1, SPONSOR can then submit a Request for Reimbursement
(FORM 5) for each phase, supported by Sponsor Costs (FORM 2) and/or Vendor Costs
(FORM 4) for each contract, including a Project Phase Progress Report (FORM 6).
Note:
1. FORM 1 must be approved by ACTIA prior to reimbursement of expenditures shown on
FORM 2.

I. POLICY
A. POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority and
Alameda County Transportation Authority (collectively, the Authority) to encourage
businesses to locate and remain in Alameda County, to employ residents of Alameda
County and to spend ACTIA/ACTA funds for goods and services within the County. The
tax collected by the Authority was imposed by Alameda County voters on themselves for
retail sales made within the County. The revenues are exclusively directed toward
improving the transit and transportation systems within the County. In addition they have
determined that small and local businesses not only provide economic and social vitality
to our communities, they also help the Authority accomplish its purchasing objectives. As
a result, the Authority has established this Local Business Contract Equity Program
(Program) to benefit Local Business Enterprise (LBE), Small Local Business Enterprise
(SLBE) and Very Small Local Business Enterprise (VSLBE).
This Program applies to contracts funded solely by Measure B funds or a combination of
Measure B and local funds. Contracts that include state and federal funds must adhere to
state and federal requirements.
The participation of local and small local businesses in the Authority's Contracts is
consistent with the voter mandate, and generates other economic benefits for the residents
of Alameda County and adds to the sales tax revenues for the Authority. To qualify for
inclusion in the Authority's Program, an applicant must be a Local Business Enterprise or
Small Local Business Enterprise (as such terms are defined in Appendix A). This
Program is neutral as to race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sex, religion, and sexual
orientation.
B. BACKGROUND
The Authority adopted a preference Program in 1986 with the inception of the first
Measure B. Initially the program goal was to ensure participation of minority and women-
owned businesses, as well as local firms. Over the years the program has evolved to
reflect changes in statutes and court rulings associated with contract equity issues at both
the state and federal levels.
In 2000 and 2001, the Authority formally adopted the LBE/SLBE Program with the
specific purpose of encouraging businesses of all sizes to locate and remain in Alameda
County, as well as to employ County residents, and to spend Measure B funds for goods
and services within Alameda County. In 2007, the Authority added the VSLBE program
along with other policy changes designed to further improve the program.
The Authority administers over $100 million of Measure B funds annually for area-wide
transportation capital projects, local streets and roads, mass transit projects, bicycle and
pedestrian safety, special transportation for seniors and the disabled, and transit center
development. These funds translate into significant dollars in transportation-related
contracts for Alameda County based firms.
It is the Authority's objective to identify and include qualified Alameda County based
businesses in the purchases of products and services required by the Authority and its
staff, The Authority welcomes all potential vendors who can fulfill our certification and
procurement requirements.
C. OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Program is to increase the opportunities for firms located in Alameda
County to provide their products and services to the Authority.
1. Benefits

II PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES
A. GOALS AND PREFERENCES
The LBE and SLBE goals apply to Authority contracts over $50,000, and Sponsor capital
project contracts over $50,000.
LBE Goals. The LBE Goals are to award sixty percent (60%) of all
Construction contract dollars, and seventy percent (70%) of all Professional
Services contracts over $50,000 that are completely or partially funded
with Measure B and local funds, to businesses that are certified as a LBE.
SLBE and VSLBE participation also counts in fulfilling the applicable
LBE participation goals.
The LBE Goal for Construction Contracts can be met through the
participation of Prime Contractor and /or Subcontractor(s). If a bidder fails
to meet the LBE Goals on a construction contract, they shall not be
awarded the contract unless the GFE requirements are met (see Appendix
C).
The LBE Goal for Professional and Administrative Services contracts
applies to the Prime Contractor on each Professional Services contract in
excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) awarded by the Authority or
Sponsoring Agency. A bidder who fails to meet the LBE Professional
Services Goals shall not receive the applicable credit in the evaluation
process. The applicable credit for meeting the LBE goals is 5% of the total
evaluation points.
2. SLBE Goals. The SLBE Goals are set on acontract-specific basis for all
Construction Contracts. Subcontracts which are counted as part of meeting
the applicable SLBE Goal also count toward meeting the applicable LBE
Goal. If a bidder fails to meet the contract-specific SLBE Goals on a
construction contract, they shall not be awarded the contract unless the
GFE requirements are met (see Appendix C).
The SLBE Goals are thirty percent (30%) on all Professional Services
Contracts and Administrative contracts over $50,000. Subcontracts which
are counted toward meeting the applicable SLBE Goal also count toward
meeting the applicable LBE Goal.
The SLBE Professional Services Goals can be met by the participation of
either the Prime and/or Subcontractors. VSLBE participation may also be
used to meet the SLBE Goals. A bidder who fails to meet the Professional
Services or Administrative Services SLBE Goals shall not receive the
applicable credit in the evaluation process. The applicable credit for
meeting the SLBE goals is 5% of the total evaluation points.
4
3. VSLBE Preferences. VSLBE preferences apply to administrative
contracts between $25,000 and $50,000 awarded by the Authority. A
bidder who fails to meet the Administrative Services VSLBE target shall
not receive the applicable credit in the evaluation process. The applicable
credit for meeting the. VSLBE goals is 20% of the total evaluation points.
On administrative contracts under $25,000, the Authority will target
VSLBEs.
B. WAIVER OF GOALS
Any request to waive the goals must be approved by the Authority. The Authority
or a Sponsor through a council/board resolution, is authorized to recommend that a
contract be advertised without LBE and/or SLBE Goals. The recommendation
must be reviewed and approved by the Authority Board. Before making a
recommendation to waive the goals, the following due-diligence steps must be
completed:
1. Define the draft scope of work, items of work and estimated value of work
items.
2. Review the Authority certification database and the certification database
of other Alameda County Certifying Agencies for businesses which are
ready and available to provide the listed items of work and who could
become certified.
3. Conduct focused outreach to identify Alameda County businesses that are
willing and able to perform the listed items of work.
4. Post the "Intent to Waive Goals" notice and the description of the draft
scope of work and items of work on the Authority's website at least 45
days before advertising the contract so that LBE, SLBE or VSLBE
contractors have ample time to notify the Authority of their availability.
If the Authority determines after completing the due diligence steps listed above
that there are no LBEs and/or SLBEs available to perform the items of work, a
recommendation shall be submitted to the Board of Directors for permission to
advertise without one or both goals. The Board report shall contain a detailed
description of the due diligence steps taken to identify LBE/SLBEs to perform the
items of work.
C. USE OF SPONSOR PARTICIPATION POLICY
Sponsor may request a substitution of its own local business preference program in
lieu of the Authority's Policy. Such a request must be approved by the Authority
Board. Prior to presentation to the Authority Board for approval, such a request
must demonstrate that:
1. Over half of the project's funding is from Sponsor's own resources,
2. The sponsor's local preference program complies with applicable laws, and
satisfies all provisions of its contractual obligations with the Authority,
3. The policy and the request have been approved by the sponsor's council/board and
documented by means of a resolution,
4. Agree that sponsor shat! bear the full responsibility and cost related to the
implementation and defense of its program.
5. Agreement to comply with Authority's semi-annual reporting requirements.
D. ELIGIBILITY AND CERTIFICATION
1. Certification Procedure. Businesses must submit Common Application
or available certification documents. from one of the regional agencies,
along with applicable supplemental documents as described in Appendix F.
LBEs, SLBEs, and VSLBEs must be certified prior to submission of
bid/proposal, to determine whether the Prime Contractor has met the
applicable LBE, SLBE, and VSLBE Goals. Each business seeking
certification under this Program shall submit the Common Application
form and an ACTIA Supplemental Questionnaire (Appendix F) along with
the required supporting documents. If deemed appropriate, the Authority
may conduct a site visit before certifying the firm. The Authority will
endeavor to notify the business of the certification status promptly after the
application is received.
Z. Recertification. Authority certifications are valid for two (2) years from
the month of certification and must be renewed biennially. If the
certification lapses or a recertification is denied, a complete certification
application must be submitted.
3. Investigations and Challenges of LBE, SLBE, or VSLBE Status. The
Authority may investigate any written communication on the certification
status of a business. The communication must clearly delineate the
reasons, including any evidence, on which the validity of a certification is
questioned. Firms determined to have falsified their status as an LBE,
SLBE or VSLBE wilt be decertified and shall be debarred from bidding on
future Authority work for a period of up to three years.
6
4. Status Changes. Firms that no longer meet the certification requirements
due to address or size change or other reasons may be decertified or have
their status changed from one category to another. The Authority shall
inform regional certifying agencies of decertification and debarment, and
may notify the regional agencies of the status changes.
5. Regional Certification Acceptance. Please refer to Appendix E for a List
of Alameda County Certifying Agencies and required documents.
E. STATUS MONITORING AND REPORTING
Measurement. Only the value of the work actually performed by LBEs,
SLBEs and VSLBEs will be counted towards the applicable Goals and/or
Preferences. The Authority will count expenditures to LBEs, SLBEs and
VSLBEs when the firm is performing a Commercially Useful Function on
that Contract. The entire amount of that portion of a Contract that is
performed by the LBE's or SLBE's or VSLBE's own workforce will be
counted. This includes the cost of equipment, supplies, and materials
obtained by the LBEs, SLBEs and VSLBEs for work on the Contract.
2 Commercially Useful Function. To perform a Commercially Useful
Function, the business must perform or exercise responsibility for at least
30 percent of the total cost of its contract with its own workforce. If the
business subcontracts a greater portion of the work on a contract than
would be expected on the basis of normal industry practice, it will be
presumed that it is not performing a Commercially Useful Function. When
a business is presumed in terms of performing a Commercially Useful
Function as provided above, the business may present evidence to rebut
this presumption. The Authority will make the final determination whether
the firm is performing a Commercially Useful Function given the type of
work involved and normal industry practices.
3 Changes in Status. When a firm looses its certification status after the
award of the contract, the participation reported at the time of the contract
award will remain unchanged. However, any additional work given to a
contractor (through a contract amendment) after it has lost its certification,
shall not count towards the goal.
4 Joint Ventures. For Joint Ventures, the Authority will count the total
Participation dollar value (Participation ratio times the total project cost) of
the LBE, SLBE or VSLBE Contract(s) equal to the distinct, clearly defined
portion of the work of the Contract that the LBE, SLBE, or VSLBE
performs toward the Goals/Preferences. The Participation ratio will be
based on the average of LBE/SLBE/VSLBE revenue share and the profit
share, if different, attributed to the LBE, SLBE or VSLBE. When a joint
venture subcontracts part of the work on its Contract to another firm, the
value of the subcontracted work may be counted toward the LBE, SLBE, or
VSLBE goal if the Subcontractor(s) are certifed as such. Subcontracts to
non-certified firms do not count toward the LBE, SLBE, or VSLBE Goals.
The dollar amount of the Joint Venture, which is to apply towards the goals for
LBE, SLBE or VSLBE participation, is calculated using the following formula:
DOLLAR PERCENT OF
VALUE OF X LBE/SLBE/VSLBE
JOINT JOINT VENTURE
VENTURE FINANCIAL
CONTRACT PARTICIPATION
IN THE
CONTRACT
DOLLAR VALUE
= OF JOINT
VENTURE
CONTRACT
APPLICABLE TO
GOALS
Whenever a Joint Venture involves a LBE, SLBE or VSLBE, the Prime Consultant
shall provide the Authority with a full account of the nature of the LBE, SLBE, or
VSLBE, the basis for creation regarding the Joint Venture, and the responsibilities
of the interested parties. Such Joint Venture shall ensure that the participating
LBE, SLBE, or VSLBE have a commensurate share of the profit or loss to be
realized from the Joint Venture. The agreement establishing the Joint Venture
shall be in writing. The Authority shall have the right to review same and
determine if such arrangement is proper and within the requirements and intent of
this Program.
F. CONTRACT COMPLIANCE
Prime Contractors shall maintain the LBE, SLBE, or VSLBE participation levels
achieved at the time the Contract is awarded throughout the term of the Contract.
Any modification to the original participation level shall be approved by the
Authority.
No substitution of a listed LBE, SLBE, or VSLBE Subcontractor can be made
without the prior written approval of the Authority or Sponsoring Agency with
agreement of the Authority. If an LBE, SLBE, or VSLBE subcontractor is unable
to perform successfully, they will be replaced and the Spansoring Agency or the
Prime Contractor shall notify the Authority. The Authority may investigate the
circumstances surrounding the request for substitution. The Prime Contractor shall
make its best efforts to replace the original LBE, SLBE, or VSLBE with another
LBE, SLBE, or VSLBE, respectively.
The Authority shall monitor compliance with the requirements of this Program
during the term of the Contract. If the Authority determines that a Prime
Contractor or Subcontractor has failed to comply with the Program, the Authority
shall so notify the Contractor and the Sponsoring Agency. The Authority may
require such reports, information, and documentation from Prime Contractors,
Subcontractors, bidders, and the Sponsoring Agency, as are reasonably necessary
to determine compliance with this Program. The Authority may hold a hearing to
evaluate potential non-compliance issues.
On a case-by-case basis, the Authority may mediate disputes between Prime
Contractors and Subcontractors, as well as between the contractor and the
Authority. Any party may contact the Authority and request assistance towards
resolution of issues. The Authority shall investigate the matter and work with all
parties to resolve the dispute. An independent mediator may be engaged by the
Authority at its discretion.
If the Authority is a party to the dispute, the Executive Director shall engage an
independent mediator in resolving the dispute.
G. MEANS TO INCREASE LBE, SLBE, AND VSLBE PARTICIPATION
The Authority will use the following means to increase LBE, SLBE, and VSLBE
participation:
1 Pre-Advertising Activities
a. Hold periodic workshops to inform businesses of upcoming contracts and

two-tiered review process:
Interdisciplinary Review Team: The initial review/analysis of the GFE
documents will be performed by the appropriate contract equity consultant. This
initial report will be presented to the Interdisciplinary Review Team (IRT),
nominated by the Executive Director, which determines if a GFE was
demonstrated. A written evaluation report will be submitted to all bidders, stating
whether the apparent low bidder has complied with the GFE requirements. To
protest the IRT decision, a bidder has five working days to file a written
objection. In the event a hearing is deemed appropriate by the Executive
Director, all bidders shall be given at least a five day notice of the hearing. The
IRT shall make its findings within 10 working days after the hearing. The IRT's
decision may be appealed by the bidder or other interested parties, as defined in
the bid document.
GFE Review Committee: Review of a decision of the IRT that is appealed will
be conducted by a Good Faith Effort Review Committee (Committee), which will
be comprised of two (2) Authority Board members and an outside independent
appointee. The two Authority Board members will be appointed by the Chair of
the Authority Board. The outside independent appointee will be retained by the
Authority Executive Director. The Committee shall hold a hearing in Alameda
County. All Subcontractors listed on the Good Faith Report and all bidders and
their subcontractors that participated in the bidding process will be given notice of
the hearing at least ten (10) days before it takes place. The Committee will
review evidence at the hearing and other factors relevant to the case to determine
whether the apparent low bidder made a GFE to meet the LBE and SLBE Goals.
The Committee shall review and keep confidential any information revealing a
Prime Contractor's proprietary interests and shall exclude the public from the
hearing for that limited purpose. The Committee shall give all bidders and all
Subcontractors participating in bids on the project an opportunity to present
evidence relating to the apparent low bidder's GFE to meet the LBE and SLBE
Goals.
The Committee makes a final determination whether a GFE was demonstrated The
Authority or Sponsoring Agency will rely on the decision of the Committee, and the
Authority will hold the Sponsoring Agency harmless for implementing the decision of the
Committee.
