Area of Potential Alignments

Proposed Highway Projects- Potential P3 Candidates

Highway Projects – PPP Candidates

I-710 South Corridor

• Improvement of 18 miles of freeway:• Freeway widening to 10 lanes• Construction of 4-lane exclusive tolled

freight truck corridor (16 miles)• Improvement of most existing

interchanges• Connects Ports of LA and Long Beach with

rail distribution centers in East Los Angeles• Circulate Draft EIR/EIS in Spring 2012• Environmental complete in Spring 2013• Measure R: $590 Million*

* includes Early Action Projects

I-710 South Corridor – Initial P3 Analysis

• P3 Delivery:– DBFOM of tolled freight corridor

• P3 Partner Responsibility:– Financing– Final Design– Construction– Operations– Maintenance

• Metro/Caltrans Responsibility:– Early Action interchange projects– Freeway widening and other

improvements to be constructed as funds become available

• Funding, Financing & Repayment:– Funding is insufficient for cost of

capital development – $2.5 billion of public funds needed to

advance the freight corridor through right-of-way acquisition and construction

– Truck tolls different for peak/off peak– Reduced toll incentives for low-

emission trucks• P3 Option Benefit:

– Achieves earlier traffic relief by shifting trucks onto the freight corridor

– Tolling revenue plus private financing could cover more than 80% of the freight corridor costs

– Represents a neutral “value for money”

SR 710 North

• Extension of existing Long Beach Freeway to I-210

• Proposed tunnel for significant portion of alignment

• Alternative Analysis complete Fall 2012

• Draft EIR/EIS complete Fall 2013

• Measure R: $780 Million

• 4.5 Mile Gap between SR-134 terminus in Pasadena & SR-710 terminus in Alhambra• Over 100 Square Mile Area

SR 710 North – Initial P3 Analysis

• P3 Delivery:– DBFOM

• Project Assumptions for PPP Analysis: – Twin 57’ diameter deep bore

tunnels – Approximately 21,000’ alignment– No intermediate interchanges– 4 lanes in each direction– Phased construction & opening of

tunnel bores

• Schedule:– ROD - 2015– Completion - 2025

• Funding, Financing & Repayment:– Funding is insufficient for cost of

capital development under a nominal delivery option

– Tolling and P3 delivery appear to provide adequate funding

– Phased opening of tolled tunnels increases financial robustness

• P3 Option Benefit:– Could accelerate completion by 4

years– Represents a potentially positive

“value for money”
