AGREEMENT 1-2354 Exhibit A , . Parts delivery and storage Employee parking Oil separators for building and yard areas. . . CONSULTANT will design the track layout including yard leads, nm around tracks, service tracks, and storage tracks. The CONSULTANT will check the length of storage tracks to ensure train consists do not need to be unnecessarily broken up, and evaluate the track centerline spacing, service/emergency aisles, and catenary support locatio;ls to assure no conflicts with fire/life safety or servicing requirements. To be detennined are the location of the car wash, power, and all other ancillary facilities within the CMF. All yard design will be digitized. Before proceeding with the design of the CMF building(s), the CONSULTANT will work with The AUTHORlTY to develop a spatial relationship chart in order to most effectively understand the various activities, maintenance schedules, and workforce size and assignments. In the design of the CMF the CONSULTANT is strongly encouraged to borrow from and utilize tl¡e experience and design layouts of other light rail systems, particularly those in California, While the site of the CenterLine CMF site may be different, the operational functions at the site are anticipated to be identical. A key component of the CONSULTANT's report is identifying the degree to which inspection, maintenance or repair activities can be cuntracted out. Understanding that contracting for these services off-site will possibly mean eliminating space that might otherwise be reserved for certain activities, such as, glazing, electronic component repair, welding, and painting. The CONSULT ANT shall work closely with The AUTHORlTY staff in detennining how and where these functions are to be perfonned, From these CMF analyses, the CONSULTANT shall prepare an operating plan detailing how the yard is to operate in general, and specifically for daily servicing and inspections, periodic and cyclical maintenance, and heavy repairs, For each required activity, the plan shall indicate who will do the work and where, The plan shall include the expected workforce size and any special work needs of the group for each function, The plan will indicate how the operation of the yard shall be integrated into the overall operation of the CenterLine project. As presently contemplated, the Operations Control Center (OCC) will be co-located with the CMF. The OCC monitors the light rail operation and is the hub of the communication system. It will hOllse control of the yards and shops; monitoring and communication with the light rail trains in revenue service; monitoring and control of the SCADA system; announcing all P AlCMS messages; hwdling of all internal, emergency, and passenger courtesy telephone trafflc; and monitoring of any Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) surveillance within the system, It will also house the telephone switch equipment, the train locator computers, the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) computers, the CCTV equipment-all primary communications equipment. The architects must work closely with the communications engineers to design the OCC with adequate and efficient work space, that is also energy efficient. The OCC may be located outside the CMF. In that case, the CONSULTANT will design a stand-alone OCC meeting the same requirements as above and possibly other ones as well. It may be beneficial, for example, to bring together functions of the OCC with those of the transit police and bus dispatchers since they often need to work closely together.
