RECOMMENDATION:
The Temecula/Murrieta Transportation Committee recommends that the City Councils review
the attached 1-15 Corridor Program Management Proposal and consider entering into a
professional services contract with NBS/Lowry Inc. to implement the program subject to
appropriation of the necessary funds.
BACKGROUND:
At the Joint City Council meeting of January 14, 1993, the Council directed the Joint Traffic
and Transportation Committee to review the findings contained in the I-15 Interchange Study
and recommend financing mechanisms to implement the program. Subsequently, the Public
Works Staff from each City with the assistance of Mr. Brent Muchow and Mr. Gordon Jones
of NBS/Lowry formulated a plan to begin implementing the recommendations contained in the
executive summary. The methodology. contained in the attached report was presented to the
Joint Committee on March 18, 1993 and unanimously approved. The Joint Committee
requested that the consultant incorporate the plan into · formal proposal including specific
tasks, man-hours, and proposed fees, for a presentation to the Joint Councils.
The attached proposal contains recommendations that could be accomplished in a six month
to one year program leading to the development of additional freeway capacity, freeway
access, and arterial system improvements. The fees associated with the project tasks on an
hourly basis are not expected to exceed $125,000. It is proposed that this fee be shared
equally by each City and that the contracts not be implemented until such time as funds are
appropriated by each City.

PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
AND CONTRACT
NBS/Lowry is pleased to submit the attached proposal and contract for Professional
management and engineering services for implementing the City Council directed action plan
to improve traffic circulation in Murrleta and Temecula.
The scope of services outlined in this Proposal has been reviewed and approved by the
Cities Joint Transportation Committee (JTC) during their meeting of March 18, 1993. The
JTC also endorsed the concept of applying for outside funding from the Surface Transporta-
tion Program (STP) Discretionan/Planning funds. That application has been submitted by
the Public Works Departments of both Cities in the amount of $100,000.
The advanced 'state of readiness' by Murrieta and Temecula will encourage support of the
application for funding and will allow the very timely advancement of this program to improve
transportation in both Cities.
Please note that a proposed fee was calculated based on a nominal six- to eight-month
program and an assumption of concurrent progress by both WRCOG and the General Plan
development by Murrieta and Temecula.
The actual cost of this work will obviously vary depending upon the schedule by WRCOG
and others.
The form of contract included in this proposal provides for the Cities to proceed at their
option and only when the Cities determine that they have sufficient funds available. The task

PROPOSAL
NB~.,OWRy
INTRODUCTION
On January 14, 1993 at a joint City Council meeting for Temecula and Muraleta, the
Councils for each City unanimously accepted the findings and approved the
recommendations contained in a report prepared by NBS/Lowry entitled !.nitisl
Interchan~je Study of Interstate 1-15. The Council action was taken based on the
recommendations of the Joint Transportation Committee of the two cities and their
staffs.
A copy of the Executive Summary of that approved report, containing the findings
and recommendations which were recently adopted along with the Agenda and
adopted recommendations is attached in the appendix of this proposal.
NBS/Lowry is pleased to submit the attached proposal and scope of services outlined
implementing the Action Plan adopted by Temecula and Muraleta.
This effort will permit each city, through its staff in concert with the Cities' Joint
Transportation Committee, to continually advance the development' of the program
outlined in the Initial Interchange Study report in accordance with the direction of
each City's Council.
Please note that NBS/Lowry is sensitive to the fiscal and budget constraints that each
City must. consider. The proposed contract will be developed so that NBS/Lowry is
effectively "on call" and that no work (or expense) can be incurred without the
express written order from the City of proceed.
-1-
SECTION I
PROGRAM UNDERSTANDING
It is NBS/Lowry's understanding that the Councils of the Cities of Murrieta and
Temecula have directed that the development of the 1-15 corridor Improvement
Program described in the Initial Interchange Study report dated November, 1992, be
carried out using NBS/Lowry as the consultant Program Manager to assist the Cities
in this endeavor.
The Initial Interchange Study report included a study of the traffic circulation needs
of Murrieta and Temecula along the I-15 Corridor between Winchester Road (SH-79)
and the 1-15/I-215 confluence. A copy of the Executive Summary, including the
action plan chart, of that report is attached to the appendix of this proposal.
The detailed approach and scope of services outlined in Section 3 of this proposal
describes NBS/Lowry's specific services to accomplish the program goals under the
Cities' direction.
It is clearly understood that Murrieta and Temecula have very limited .resources and
that a major part of the I-15 Corridor program described herein will be to help create
the resources and funding that will be necessary to implement the most important
transportation/circulation improvements that the evolving City General Plans require.
A very significant part of this program is necessarily directed to the cooperative multi-
agency planning efforts that are essential to the successful development of
transportation/circulation improvements in this region.
NBS/Lowry's role will be to advise the Cities through their staffs and the Joint City
Transportation committee and to specifically serve as an extension of the Cities' staff
to carry out and facilitate communication among the various agencies and interested
public.
At all times, NBS/Lowry will be under the administrative and policy control of Murdeta
and Temecula while providing the Cities with the benefit of NBS/Lowry's substantial
experience in the development of similar complex projects and programs.
The following section of this proposal generally describes "Program Management"
that is within the context of this proposal. It is provided at this point to illustrate that
the effort required for the I-15 Corridor is not just one project, but a complex program
of planning, funding, project(s) development, advocacy and, ultimately, implementa-
tion of improvements by the Cities.

SECTION 3
DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK
As described in the foregoing section, Program Management entails a wide range of
coordinaUon, liaison, planning and engineering services devoted to the development
of a large or complex project.
In the case of the 1-15 Corridor, it is essential that a clear definition of the actual
transportation facility improvements needed evolve simultaneously with the Cities'
General Plan process and that they have the understanding, concurrence and
Participation of key governmental agencies, including the State (Caltrans), the Federal
Government (FHWA), the County of Riverside (Transportation Department), the
Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC), and the Western Riverside
Council of Governments (WRCOG).
1-15 INITIAL INTERCHANGE STUDY START-UP
PROGRAM TO ADDRESS ADOPTED ACTION PLAN
Following are recommendations for what could be beneficially accomplished in a six-
month to one-year program to pursue the recommended Action Plan leading to
development of additional freeway capacity, freeway access, and arterial highway
system improvements to serve the developing needs of the Cities of Murrieta and
Temecula for the near term and the future. This program is an essential and
immediate need to complement and support both Cities' current General Plan efforts.
To be effective, the effort needs to be a joint/cooperative effort in order to answer the
long-term needs of both cities.
1. JOINT TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE (JTC)
The NBS/Lowry Program Management Team will participate in the regular
monthly meetings of the Cities' JTC and hold regular meetings with City staff to
advise the Committee and City staff on matters related to the I-15 Corridor Plan.
Written and verbal reports will include information derived from various
transportation agencies as well as other consultant resources, landowners, etc.
2. CALTRANS. RCTC AND COUNTY REVIEWS OF INITIAL STUDY
Interests and concerns of Caltrans, RCTC and the County have been identified
in the I-15 Initial Interchange Study. In parallel with Step 1, this study should be
circulated to these agencies for their review, reaction and constructive responses.
It is important to have this plan introduced to those agencies as soon as
possible.
-7-
3. REFINED LAND USF AND TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
The NBS/Lowry Program Management Team should immediately start work with
City Public Works and Planning staffs, as well as County staff, to ascertain what
are now reasonable land use assumptions for the study area for a projected 20-
year time frame. A traffic circulation network containing components now agreed
upon or established by the Cities and County plus additional arterial highway,
freeway access and freeway capacity components should be tested against the
land use assumptions. Included in these test runs by the Cities' traffic
consultants, should be Design Concepts No. 1 and No. 2 of the 1-15 Initial
Interchange St~jdy and/or variations thereon which are considered to have merit
by City staffs and the Joint Temecula/Murdeta Transportation Committee, along
with the consultants. The participants in the process should be an initial working
group with the charge to test the impacts of various land use and circulation
system concepts on the quality of life and economic vitality of the Temecula/-
Murdeta area. As the Cities, working with the County, determine what their
needs and desires are for the future in respect to land use and circulation, they
will have built a base on which they may advocate their own desired destinies.
4. LOCAL FINANCING PROGRAMS
The Cities should begin work on the development of compatible financing
programs for transportation improvements. The efforts should begin in parallel
with Step 3 to refine area land use and circulation systems. These studies will
provide the basis for defining costs of the circulation system over time and fair
share division of costs based on traffic generation and use. For example, a
"trips-generated. basis for cost sharing between the Cities and the County can
be determined simultaneously with the General Plan effort.
Though formulation of an overall funding and financing program inclusive of
countywide, state and federa/funding sources will take longer than six months
to develop, negotiate and establish, the effort should start now. For example,
locally, the City of Temecula should establish a Bridge and Thoroughfare Fee
District complementary to that existing in the City of Murrieta as quickly as
possible, although the level of fees may not be immediately firm.
The following is a detailed set of subtasks:
4.1
4.2
4.3
Research/Inventory all existing public finance systems in both Cities.
Determine list of additional options available to each City, including
cost to implement potential revenues to be derived.
Create matrix evaluation of options in 4.2.
-8-
4.3.1
Participate with City staff and Joint Transportation Committee to
select/refine most viable options and combinations of funding
programs.
4.4
4.5
Determine list of available grants, outside funding, matching
programs, etc., including cost to apply and compete for funding.
Prepare Funding/Financing. Action Plan for approval by Joint
Committee.
ESTABLISH TRANSPORTATION
CORRIDOR/SPECIAL STUDY TASK FORCE
As quickly as the Cities have a reasonable handle on their preliminary desires
for arterial, freeway access and freeway capacity as related to their area of
influence, a Transportation Corridor/Special Study Task Force should be
established. This task force would be designed to bring the other key players
in transportation and land use discussions to the table to work with the Cities
to develop a mutually acceptable plan for transPortation/circulation in the
Temecula/Murrieta area. Caltrans, FHWA, RCTC, WRCOG, SCAQMD,
Temecula, Murrieta and the County of Riverside should all be invited to be
members of this task force.
The task force could readily be organized within six months and begin its
deliberations if the joint Cities' effort to derive a land use and circulation
concept framework is able to move forward quickly in a cooperative spirit.
The task force would address freeway capacity as well as freeway access.
Involvement of other cities, such as Lake Elsinore, may be appropriate for
arterial highway considerations.
WRCOG and RCTC have initiated a new traffic circulation planning effort for
Western Riverside County. This effort and the program management effort
described in this proposal fit well as an effective means for Murrieta and
Temecula to have meaningful Participation and input to the regional
circulation planning effort, which will have a direct impact on circulation
planning presently ongoing in the Cities. The timing of this planning effort
may quite possibly call for early input from the Cities of Temecula and
Murrieta while the Cities' circulation planning efforts are still in process. That
necessity can be accommodated by the Program Management Team process
called for in this proposal.
-9-
SECTION 4
PROGRAM TEAM
The team proposed for the I-15 Corridor Program is to be led by G. Brent Muchow,
P.E., with key staff functions being provided by Gordon Jones, P.E. for strategic
planning, and by Robert S. Righetti for engineering and planning support. Galen
Peterson, P.E., will provide initial services Pertaining to the development of local
funding oPPortunities. The attached organization chart illustrates the total team,
including the Joint Transportation Committee.
This team is backed by a full service staff at NBS/Lowry of nearly 200 persons,
including administrative, engineering and planning personnel.
This is the team that developed the Initial Interchange Study on Interstate 15 and
which has a substantial base of information with which to continue to assist Murrieta
and Temecula develop the 1-15 Corridor Program.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
As described in the foregoing section, Program Management entails a wide range of planning
and engineering services devoted to the development of a large or complex project.
In the case of the I-15 Corridor it is essential that a clear definition of the actual improvements
evolve simultaneously with the Cities General Planning Process and the understanding and
participation of key governmental agencies including the State (Caltrans), the Federal
Government (FHWA), the County of Riverside (Transportation Department), the Riverside
County Transportation Commission (RCTC), the Western Riverside Council of Governments
(WRCOG) and others.
I-15 INITIAL INTERCHANGE STUDY
START-UP PROGRAM TO ADDRESS ACTION PLAN
Following are recommendations for what could be beneficially accomplished in a six-month
to one year program to pursue the recommended Action Plan leading to development of
additional freeway capacity, freeway access, and arterial highway system improvements to
serve the developing needs of the Cities of Murrieta and Temecula for the near term and the
future. This program is an essential, immediate need to complement and support both Cities'
current General Plan efforts. To be effective, the effort needs to be a joint/cooperative effort
in order to answer the long-term needs of both cities.
JOINT TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE (JTC)
The NBS/LOWRY Program Management Team will participate in the regular monthly
meetings of the JTC to advise the committee and City staff on matters related to the
I-15 Corridor Plan. Written and verbal reports will include information derived form
various transportation agencies as well as other consultant resources, landowners, etc.
CALTRANS. RCTC AND COUNTY REVIEWS OF INITIAL STUDY
Interests and concerns of Caltrans, RCTC, WRCOG, the County and other agencies
have been identified in the I-15 Initial Interchange Study. In parallel with Step 1, this
study should be circulated to these agencies for their review, reaction and constructive
responses.
REFINED LAND USE AND TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
The NBS/Lowry-Gordon Jones Program Management Team will work with City Public
Works and Planning staffs, as well as County staff, to ascertain what are now
reasonable land use assumptions for the study area for a projected 20-year time frame.
A traffic circulation network containing components now agreed upon to be
established by the Cities and County for arterial, freeway access and freeway capacity
components should be tested against the land use assumptions. Included in these test
runs by the Cities' traffic consultants, should be Design Concepts No. 1 and No. 2 of
the I-5 Initial Interchange Study and variations thereon which are considered to have
merit by City staffs, the Joint Temecula/Murrieta Transportation Committee and the
consultants. The participants in the process should be an initial working group with
R02193 -7-
the charge to test the impacts of various land use and circulation system concepts on
the quality of life and economic vitality of the Temecula/Murrieta area. As the Cities,
working with the County, determine what their needs and desires are for the future in
respect to land use and circulation, they will have built a base on which they may
advocate their own desired destinies. The work reauired bv the City traffic and general
plan consultants is not included in this contract.
LOCAL FINANCING PROGRAMS
The Cities should begin work on the development of compatible financing programs for
transportation improvements. The effort Should begin in parallel with Step 1 to refine
area land use and circulation systems. These studies will provide the basis for defining
costs of the circ;jlation system over time and fair share division of costs based on
traffic generation and use. For example, a "trips-generated" basis for cost sharing
between the Cities and the County can be determined simultaneously with the General
Plan effort.
Though formulation of an overall funding and financing program inclusive of
countywide, state and federal funding sources will take longer than six months to
develop, negotiate and establish, the effort should start as soon as possible. For
example, locally, the City of Temecula sho!uld establish a Bridge and Thoroughfare Fee
District complementary to that existing in the City of Murrieta, although the level of
fees may not be immediately firm.
The following is a detailed set of sub-tasks.
4.1 Research/Inventory all existing public finance systems in both cities
4.2
Determine list of additional options available to each city including cost to
implement potential revenues to be derived
4.3 Create matrix evaluation of options in 4.2
4.3.1
Participate with city staff and joi!nt committee to select/refine most viable
options and combinations of funding programs.
4.4
Determine list of available grants, outside funding, matching programs, etc.,
including costs to apply and compete for
4.5 Prepare Funding/Financing Action Plan for approval by Joint Committee.
ESTABLISH TRANSPORTATION
CORRIDOR/SPECIAL STUDY TASK FORCE
As quickly as the Cities have a reasonable handle on their preliminary desires for
arterial, freeway access and freeway capacity as related to their area of influence, a
Transportation Corridor/Special Study Task Force should be established. This task
force would be designed to bring the other key players in transportation and land use
discussions to the table to work with the Cities to develop a mutually acceptable plan
for transportation/circulation in the TemeCula/Murrieta area. Caltrans, FHWA, RCTC,
R02193 ' 8 -
WRCOG, SCAQMD, Temecula, Murrieta and the County of Riverside should all be
invited to be members of this task force.
The task force could probably be organized within six months and begin its delibera-
tions if the joint Cities effort to derive a land use and circulation concept framework
is able to move forward quickly in a cooperative spirit. Though the corridor task force
could be formed sooner, the Cities need to further develop a basis for advocacy in
order to hold their own in task force deliberations and negotiations.
The task force .would address freeway capacity as well as freeway access.
Involvement of other cities, such as Lake Elsinore, may be appropriate for arterial
highway considerations. The task force, or possibly earlier efforts, should address the
on-going Long Range Transportation Plan for Western Riverside County.
This task is for work not included in this contract which will necessarily be required
of City staff and other consultants concurrently with the five preceeding tasks by
NBS/Lowry.
In order to proceed with any of the work described herein the consultant must receive a
written task order describing the task(s) to be performed the starting date, the authorized
amount for the task(s) involved executed by the City Director or Public Works.
The work described in the first five task areas is to further develop the I-15 corridor
transportation improvement program including the basis for future cost sharing between
Murrieta and Temecula. It is appropriate that until that cost sharing formula is developed and
adopted by each City that the costs for this work will be shared equally.
Work beyond the scope of the six task areas described in this agreement may only proceed
Upon approval of an amendment to this agreement by the City Council.

APPENDIX "A"
APPENDIX "A"
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Cities of Murrieta and Temecula seek increased access to the I-15 and Route 215
Freeways, based on traffic forecasts which project more demand for freeway access
than the current Winchester Road and Murrieta Hot Springs Road freeway interchang-
es can accommodate. The Cities jointly retained NBS/Lowry to evaluate these
transportation and circulation issues and to provide possible geometric design
solutions along with a work plan to implement them. This report documents the study
process and provides the Cities with two different geometric design concepts to
consider along with the work or action plan that should be pursued by the Cities to
seek and implement the necessary improvements. Additionally, this report provides
a substantial technical an. alysis of the various alternatives in order that the City staffs
may work with the inevitable changes that occur when a project such as this evolves.
The study process also included direct interaction with the City staffs and the Cities
Joint Transportation Committee. A series of important "findings" are listed below
which bear directly on the potential for new or additional access to I-15.
FINDINGS
1. FHWA, CALTRANS AND RCTC POLICY
Current policies of Caltrans, FHWA and RCTC on interchange spacing for rural
or urban areas would preclude approval of a new standard interchange
connection to 1-15, between Winchester Road and the 1-15/215 Y. These
policies are being strictly enforced at this time and for the foreseeable future.
2. PROJECTED TRAFFIC VOLUMES DATE STREET INTERCHANGE
City and County "buildout" traffic volume projections indicate a standard new
interchange in the Winchester Road to I-15/215 area would not work due to
merging and weaving traffic conflicts on the freeway. Further,. a single new
interchange would not meet freeway access traffic demands for "buildout"
projections.
3. PROJECTED TRAFFIC VOLUMES - WINCHESTER ROAD INTERCHANGE
Upgrading of the Winchester Road interchange alone to a "super interchange"
would not meet "buildout" traffic demands and would have a major physical
impact on existing development.
A-1
4. INADEQUATE ARTERIAL SYSTEM
There are inadequate major city arterials parallel to the freeways and inadequate
local arterials to accept and deliver traffic to/from existing and future freeway
interchanges.
5. ADDITIONAL FREEWAY/ARTERIAL HIGHWAY CAPACITY REQUIRED
Additional freeway capacity, freeway access, and arterial highway network
improvements are going to be necessary to meet committed and projected land
use. Expected traffic demands call for multiple freeway access points, and
several freeway crossings.
6. LAND USE/CIRCULATION SYSTEM BALANCE
Lack of additional freeway and arterial improvements beyond those in current
plans will lead to increasingly severe traffic congestion and substantial
reductions in viable land use. Land use and transportation should be in balance,
and growing regulatory mandates will increasingly seek to ensure that balance
is achieved.
7. STATE/REGIONAL/COUNTY PLANNING AND MANDATED PROGRAMS
State, regional, county and area transportation planning is in progress which
will affect the Cities of Murrieta and Temecula. To maintain control of their
own destinies, the two Cities need to cooperate and work with the County,
RCTC, Caltrans and others in the development of an integrated freeway and
arterial highway system. Now is the window of opportunity for productive joint
planning.
8. COOPERATIVE EFFORT NEEDED
A cooperative effort of the Cities of Temecula and Murrieta is needed to bring
the County, RCTC, Caltrans, FHWA and others to the table to develop a jointly
acceptable plan for freeway capacity, freeway access and a complementary
arterial highway system.
When the above "findings" are taken into account, the most obvious conclusion is
that development of a standard interchange anywhere along I-15 between Winchester
Road and the 15/215 wye is not feasible. This study analyzed a series of additional
alternatives in order to discover the potential combination of improvements that would
not only solve Murrieta and Temecula's circulation needs, but would also show
beneficial improvement to freeway operations in the area,
A-2
The above design alternatives were then combined into the two concepts presented
herein. Please note that these concept designs are to serve the purpose of facilitating
the necessary planning and development program of the Cities and Caltrans and that
the final design of the freeway access and circulation network in the area will depend
on a large number of factors that remain to be determined. The work or action plan
included in the recommendations of this report is, therefore, the key to the
development of improved freeway access and circulation. The recommendations are
summarized as follows:
RECOMMENDATIONS
ACTION PLAN
Initiate a cooperative effort of the Cities of Temecula and Murrieta, based on
the Action Plan of this report, to bring the County, RCTC, Caltrans, FHWA and
others to the table to develop a jointly acceptable plan for freeway capacity,
freeway access and a complementary arterial highway system, utilizing the
NBS/LowrY team as program managers for this city directed effort.
PLAN GOALS
The goal of the plan should be to provide for increased freeway capacity
beyond Caltrans current plans and a sophisticated approach to increase freeway
access for both Cities, while protecting the integrity of the freeway to serve
long range through traffic. The plan should also provide for a complementary
arterial system serving short and intermediate range travel demands within and
between the Cities and County. Right-of-waY protection needs should also be
identified by the plan. The plan must be affordable over time.
LONG RANGE PROGRAM
These planning and negotiating efforts require the development of a long range
program, as set forth in the NBS/LowrY proposed Action Plan of this report, to
plan, schedule, fund, and implement freeway and arterial improvements.
REFINED TRAFFIC pROJECTIONS
City and County land use assumptions need to be refined and used as a base
for updated 20 year traffic projections by the Cities' traffic consultants. These
traffic proiections should address and test the various arterial and freeway
access "design concepts" which may be considered in the development of the
transportation plan.
A-3
5. DESIGN CONCEPTS
The Initial Interchange Study Report's Design Concepts No. I and No. 2, with
their phased development, are intended to serve as a starting point for testing
of potentially applicable freeway access improvements. Variations in these
"Initial Design Concepts" developed by NBS/Lowry should be considered in this
effort, reflecting further input from the Cities, the County, RCTC and Caltrans.
6. FINANCING PROGRAM
Compatible financing programs should be developed by the Cities of Temecula
and Murrieta and the County, and be integrated with other countywide, state
and federal funding programs to provide a source of funding for planned
highway improvements over time. At this time the City of Temecula should
establish a Bridge and Thoroughfare District to complement that of the City of
Murrieta. Each City could control its own district.
7. RIGHT-OF-WAY PROTECTION
Identification and protection of right-of-way for arterial and freeway, highway
improvements in the long range plan is critical at this time. Right-of-way
protection should be provided by a cooperative program of the state, county,
city and landowner/developers. Much of the potential right-of-way needed is
not yet impacted by development. Lack of right-of-way could well block or
make very costly those highway improvements needed in the future. A
program for right-of-way protection should be developed in this overall effort.
There need not be an undue burden on adjacent land owners for right-of-way
protection, due to the ability to provide for interim uses on the lands to be
protected.
8. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Utilize NBS/Lowry in association with Gordon B. Jones & Associates to serve
the Cities through their Departments of Public Works and the Joint Temecula/-
Murrieta Transportation Committee as Program Manager to implement the
Action Plan and facilitate the city/county cooperative effort necessary to
accomplish recommendations 1 through 7, above. The NBS/Lowry and Gordon
B. Jones team has the background, expertise and historic track record to be
instrumental in successfully securing the necessary freeway, freeway access
and arterial highway system improvements to support the needs of the Cities
of Temecula and Murrieta.
