HIS SERVICE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board, hereinafter referred to as “PCJPB” or Caltrain ,” a nd the City of Sunnyvale, hereinafter referred to as “City,” as of the last date of signature set forth in the signature blocks.

RE
CITALS
W
HEREAS, the City of Sunnyvale (“CITY”), the City of Mountain View , and the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority ( “VTA”) are project sponsors for a proposed bicycle and pedestrian undercrossing within the CALTRAIN right-of-way (“ROW”), located on the border of these two cities; and
W
HEREAS, the Bernardo Avenue Undercrossing Project (“Project”) will fill a critical gap in both the local and regional bicycle and pedestrian networks by providing safe, convenient access between Sunnyvale neighborhoods and employment destinations to the north, and Sunnyvale west neighborhoods, schools, and employment locations south of the CALTRAIN tracks; and W
HEREAS, the CITY proposes to install the pedestrian and bicycle undercrossing at CALTRAIN mile post 37.5, at the intersection of South Bernardo Avenue and West Evelyn Avenue, to facilitate access between the northern and southern sides of the CALTRAIN ROW, as well as across Central Expressway, which runs parallel to CALTRAIN tracks in the Project area (see Appendix A , Scope of Work); and
W
HEREAS, under a previous service agreement which was executed on November 9, 2021, CALTRAIN and the CITY collaborated on the technical review and coordination efforts related to the conceptual design phase of the Project (approximately up to 15% design), including revie w of five conceptual design options; and
W
HEREAS, the cities of Sunnyvale and Mountain View narrowed down the conceptual design options from five to two, and have presented these two design options to the public, then to each cities’ Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission, and finally their respective City Councils, resulting in the Eastern design option being selected as the Locally Preferred Option/Alternative (“LPA”) by both cities which would locate the undercrossing approximately 360 feet east of the Bernardo and Evelyn Avenues intersection; and

14 Appendix A – Scope of Work

1. Project Management

CALTRAIN will provide a Project Manager who is knowledgeable about the project and CALTRAIN processes, and who will lead the coordination and reporting efforts among CALTRAIN, CITY, and VTA staff. The CITY will provide a Project Manager who is knowledgeable about the project and the CITY’s processes, and will be the main point of contact for CALTRAIN and VTA.

Due to the federal funding to be used for the design and construction of the Project, the project managers from all Parties must be familiar with the Caltrans Local Assistance processes. Caltrans Local Assistance has been granted authority by the Federal Highway Administration to administer federal funding. The project phases, from environmental clearance through construction, must comply with the Caltrans Local Assistance requirements. It is expected that the agency responsible for the project delivery of the phase will be responsible for adhering to these requirements. For example, the CITY is delivering the environmental clearance phase and therefore will be responsible for adhering to the requirements through the completion of the environmental clearance phase.

2. T
echnical Review and Coordination up to 35% Engineering Design

To support the review and coordination of the 35% engineering design and activities, the following tasks described in this Scope of Work will be completed by the parties under this Agreement:
o The CITY will provide CALTRAIN with the available deliverables listed in the Preliminary (15%) Design Submittal Checklist (See Appendix E) at the execution of this Service Agreement.

The items not available at the end of 35% Engineering design phase will be included to the deliverables developed during the final design phase, unless they are required to perform and complete the Environmental Clearance processes.
• The Project will be subject to one (1) round of CALTRAIN technical review. This technical review effort culminates with the production of design comments submitted to the City and typically includes the following activities:
• Identify potential impacts to JPB facilities and their access as well as impacts to operations and maintenance for the selected Eastern Option. • Identify potential access impacts to JPB facilities as they relate to people walking, biking, and using buses or shuttles to access project facilities, if applicable. This includes wider streets, less direct routes, or degradation of existing facilities. • Identify specific CALTRAIN owned or managed facilities that may be affected by the selected option (Third-party fiber optic cable, CALTRAIN fiber backbone, Signal and Communications, Overhead Catenary Systems, Track, Right-of-Way access, etc.). • Identify construction access and temporary laydown or staging areas. • Provide any clearances that will need to be considered as part of final design – separation from track (vertical and horizontal), separation from catenary, clearance to utilities, etc.

Attachment 4

Page 14 of 27 ends

Service Agreement

15 • Consider potential environmental impacts, as well as necessary environmental clearance and resource agency permits for JPB to obtain at later design stages. • Include any considerations the CITY should be aware of to reduce risk/cost. • Review of engineer’s cost estimates for the option selected. • Upon completion of CALTRAIN’S technical review, it is anticipated that CALTRAIN and the CITY will meet up two (2) times to discuss the technical review comments.

These meetings will serve to confirm project information, address any questions, and resolve any outstanding matters related to the technical review topics. o It is CALTRAIN’s understanding that the CITY’s design consultant will be unable to integrate refinements based on CALTRAIN’s detailed design comments. Therefore, CALTRAIN will assume responsibility for integrating the design refinements necessary to advance the 35% designs for environmental clearance. Any other comments or refinements not required for environmental clearance will be addressed by CALTRAIN during the final design phase. To facilitate the necessary refinements for environmental clearance:
• The CITY will remit to CALTRAIN the native versions (CAD files, Word document, Excel Spreadsheet, GIS Data file, etc.) of the design documents that CALTRAIN has reviewed.
• CALTRAIN will edit these design documents as necessary to integrate the needed refinements for environmental clearance.
• These edited document versions will serve as the basis for advancing the project to environmental review and initiation of final design.
o CALTRAIN also typically participates in the following types of activities:
• Ongoing project coordination among the Cities of Sunnyvale and Mountain View, VTA, and CALTRAIN staff (planning, engineering, operations, maintenance, outreach if applicable).
• As-needed coordination with County of Santa Clara, for potential impacts to County right-of-way and encroachment permit and/or easement or other right-of-way process. • Coordinate up to three (3) meetings among the Cities of Sunnyvale and Mountain, VTA, and CALTRAIN staff.
• Provide technical input and expertise, including participation in the CITY’s working meetings with their design planning consultant and support.

3. R
eview City CEQA and Issue CEQA Determination
To support the CITY’s environmental clearance and coordination, the following tasks described in this Scope of Work will be completed by CALTRAIN under this Agreement:
o CALTRAIN implementation of a CEQA Notice of Determination (NOD) upon final review of CEQA Clearance documentation and 35% design deliverables. o CALTRAIN Board NOD Approval and subsequent NOD filing.

Attachment 4

Page 15 of 27 ends

Service Agreement

16 4. FTA NEPA Clearance
To complete the CALTRAIN required NEPA environmental clearance requirements, the following tasks described in this Scope of Work will be completed by CALTRAIN under this Agreement:

o CALTRAIN review of NEPA technical studies and environmental documentation prepared by CITY and incorporation into FTA’s Region 9 requirements as applicable. o CALTRAIN implementation of additionally required NEPA technical studies and preparation of additionally required environmental documentation in accordance with FTA’s Region 9 requirements.
o CALTRAIN coordination with FTA through NEPA clearance process and any regulatory agency if required by a specific Section of NEPA (i.e., Section 106, 4(f), etc.)

Completion of these tasks includes but is not limited to the following activities: Review of design for identification of environmental impacts to be considered under federal regulations; presentations and coordination with FTA Region IX; preparation of technical studies as required by NEPA; implementation of federal processes as required by NEPA (i.e., Section 106); preparation of a draft Documented Categorical Exclusion (DCE); response to comments from FTA; preparation of final DCE; and obtaining NEPA clearance.

5. E
xclusion from Scope of Work
This scope of work does not include performing 35% to 100% engineering design. These tasks will be performed under a separate Cooperative Agreement.

If the CITY elects to advance the project beyond the Preliminary Engineering Design and Environmental Clearance phase to develop the design for construction, CALTRAIN will assume the project delivery lead when this phase and its deliverables are completed, and a Cooperative Agreement will be established that addresses funding, roles and responsibilities, budgets, and schedule for the subsequent phases. Continued discussion between CALTRAIN and VTA about leveraging their respective teams’ expertise and long-established relationships (also referred to as an “integrated team approach”) will inform the Cooperative Agreement.

This Agreement does not include an analysis for Alternative Contract Delivery, development and execution of the Cooperative Agreement mentioned above, and preparation of one or more Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for advancing the project beyond the Preliminary Engineering (PE)/Environmental Clearance phase into final design and construction in accordance with the consensus alternative delivery method recommendation. It is understood by the parties this work will be performed under a subsequent Agreement after the work associated with Coordination up to 35% Engineering Design and CITY’s Environmental Clearance is complete.

19 Appendix D- Caltrain Fully Burdened Unit Cost Rates, Fiscal Year 2024

Effective July 1, 202 3; the ICAP rate (3.22%) should be applied to District labor, Consultants , and Non-Labor while the fringe rate (63.55%) is only applied to district labor to calculate a fully burdened rate for purposes of external agreements with the District. All these rates will be updated annually, and the District reserves the right to update rates a maximum of one time during the year . If warranted, the District will communicate all such changes in writing.

The San Mateo County Transit District (District) provides motorbus, paratransit and shuttle service in San Mateo County. The District also administers and manages the day -to-day operations of the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (PCJPB)/Caltrain ); San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA); and San Mateo County Express Lane Joint Powers Authority (JPA). The District uses cost a llocation and rate setting methodologies to assign and recover costs incurred by providing services shared by all agencies.

ICAP Rate
Caltrain’s audited ICAP rate is set in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget, Chapter 2 of the Code of Federal Register Part 200 on uniform administrative requirements, cost principles, and audit requirements for federal awards. Caltrain’s FY2023 ICAP rate was 3.45% and FY2024 ICAP rate decreased to

3.22% (Current). The ICAP rate is not annually compounded but is a fixed annual rate that is updated annually subject to audit by the FTA through the triennial audit.

Agency Indirect Costs (AIA): O
nsite consultants and non-labor items are “grossed up” to add in Agency Indirect Costs (AIA) and Capital Overhead . Ta ken together, these components are referred to as the Internal Cost Allocation Plan Rate, which is supported by an audited Internal Cost Allocation Plan (ICAP) using statistics appropriate to the costs allocated. AIA costs benefit all agencies and include staff in support departments such as Human Resources, Information Technology and Telecommunications, Treasury, Accounting and Budgets, Security, Facilities Maintenance and Contracts & Procurement. All staff time devoted to shared service activities are recorded to the AIA project category within the accounting system. Annually, AIA costs are allocated to the appropriate benefiting agencies through the ICAP.

Capital Overhead: Capital costs associated with pooled support costs that cannot be directly att ributed to a specific capital project, including labor and non -labor costs specific to each agency’s capital projects, are recorded to the Capital Overhead project within the accounting system. A rate is used to charge for the three categories of costs. The rates are calculated and updated on an annual basis.

Fully Burdened Rate for E
mployees: Unit Cost + ICAP + Fringe Benefits
The fully burdened rate for employee includes the ICAP rate shown above, and also includes Employee Fringe Benefits. Fringe benefits cover costs associated with payroll taxes, pension plan contributions, group insurance premiums (medical, dental, vision coverages), life insurance, long-term disability, unemployment insurance, and Attachment 4

Page 19 of 27 ends

Service Agreement

20 paid time off (PTO). These costs are initially paid by the District and charged to benefitting agencies through the application of a fringe benefit rate.

Fully Burdened Rate for Consultants and Non-Labor Items: Unit Cost + ICAP Consultants working on the project are limited to base rate increases annually to the February Year -Over-Year Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers – San Francisco ( YOY CPI-U San Francisco) . When consultant invoices are passed through to the partner agencies, the ICAP Rate (3.22%) is applied on the unit cost to calculate the fully burdened rate. The ICAP rate, in the context of the consultant's applied rate, is not a profit for the agency, but a method to recover the Capital Admin Funds that cover all the additional, indirect, and incidental costs incurred to the agency with hiring and retaining a consultant.
