1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1. Project Overview The North County Transit District (NCTD) is implementing an interoperable Positive Train Control (PTC) System on the San Diego Subdivision where passenger and freight operations are conducted (as set forth in the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (RSIA08) and 49 CFR 236 Subpart I). The purpose of a PTC System is to prevent the following:

Train-to-train collisions

Over speed accidents

Incursion into work zones

Movements through a misaligned switch by requiring automatic control systems to override mistakes by human operators

This PTC System will be designed and implemented to follow the standard and guidelines established by the Interoperable Train Control (ITC) Committee. The ITC Committee is comprised of the four largest US freight railroads: BNSF Railway, CSX, Norfolk Southern Railway (NS), and Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). The NCTD goal for PTC implementation is the extended December 31, 2018 completion date as stipulated in the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2015. In August 2011, NCTD procured a Vendor/Integrator contractor, Herzog Technologies Inc. (HTI), to design, install, commission, and maintain the PTC System. In addition to, and in advance of, the implementation of the PTC System, NCTD has assumed the management control of the San Diego Subdivision by installing a new computer-aided dispatch system, Train Management and Dispatching System (TMDS), and assumes responsibility for railroad dispatching. Previously, NCTD’s dispatching was managed by Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) using the DIGICON CTC system. NCTD awarded a contract to HTSI for CTC installation and dispatch services. The San Diego Subdivision dispatch cutover was April 2012, and the Escondido Subdivision dispatch cutover was December 2011. The new PTC system will be located at the Rail Operations Center (ROC) within the Sprinter Operations Facility (SOF) in Escondido, CA. NCTD’s General Administration Office (GAO) has been identified as a second location to provide geographic redundancy for both the command and control functions as well as the PTC back office functions. Once the Operations Control Center at GAO is fully built out, GAO will be transitioned to the primary location, with the ROC becoming the backup center.

1.1.1. PTC Inter-Agency Coordination Inter-Agency Coordination is one of the keys for successful implementation of the project. The PTC system must be fully and mutually compatible with host and tenant railroads. Interoperability will enable safe operation of mixed freight and passenger services to allow seamless uninterrupted movement among different host railroads. Interoperability shall be based on the ITC Committee standard and guidelines, and member governance currently in development by the UPRR, BNSF Railway, CSX, and NS. Host and tenant railroads may also execute Interoperability Agreements, which are envisioned as being similar to Shared Use Agreements. NCTD has executed Interoperability Agreements with BNSF Railway (April 2010), SCRRA (April 2010), Amtrak (March 2010) and Pacific Sun Railroad (August 2010).

The San Diego Subdivision rail corridor is 60.3 miles in length from the Orange County/San Diego County line (MP 207.4) to 200 feet south of Broadway Street in San Diego (MP 267.7). The entire line is signaled CTC territory with 50% of the territory having segments of multiple main track and passing sidings. Passenger train operations on the corridor are COASTER (22 trains/weekday), Amtrak Pacific Surfliner intercity service (22-24 trains/day), and SCRRA Metrolink commuter rail services (up to 14 trains/day). Freight service on the Subdivision is BNSF Railway (4-6 trains/day) and Pacific Sun Railroad (5-10 trains/week). NCTD's COASTER service operates between the Oceanside Transit Center in Oceanside (MP 226.4) and Santa Fe Depot in San Diego (MP 267.5). NCTD’s Maintenance facility is located at Stuart Mesa (MP 221.9), north of Oceanside on Camp Pendleton. This yard is also used by SCRRA Metrolink. A layover facility is located at the San Diego Trolley Yard (MP 268.4) at 12th and Imperial in Centre City San Diego where COASTER train sets are stored during midday. In addition to the NCTD COASTER service area, the tenant railroads use the corridor as follows:

Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner Service - Entire subdivision;

BNSF Railway - Entire subdivision;

SCRRA's Metrolink Orange County Line - From Oceanside to the Orange County Line;

BNSF Railway’s contracted operator Pacific Sun Railroad, a Watco Company - Local freight service operating between Stuart Mesa Maintenance Facility and Miramar freight spur, and Escondido Subdivision with occasional trips to San Onofre near the Orange County Line.

NCTD has organized monthly interoperability calls that include the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Caltrans Division of Rail, Pacific Sun, Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), BNSF Railway, and Amtrak. NCTD also attends the LA Regional PTC Conference quarterly meeting hosted by SCRRA and attended by BNSF Railway, UPRR and Amtrak. 1.1.2. PTC Operations and Maintenance The project is still under development. Once the project is complete, PTC Operations and Maintenance will be handed over to Bombardier.

1.2. Scope of Work Overview HTI and its subcontractors are solely responsible for designing and implementing a PTC system that meets FRA and other applicable requirements and is FRA approved for NCTD rail operations. HTI is required to follow the Positive Train Control Development Plan (PTCDP) submitted by the NS, CSX, and UPRR railroads and utilize it as the basis for the NCTD PTC system. This PTCDP, revised on June 1, 2011 and subsequently approved by the FRA on August 26, 2011, is known as Interoperable – Electronic Train Management System (I-ETMS). HTI and its subcontractors are scoped to be following the I-ETMS Rung 1 model, which fully adheres to AAR/ITC standards and specifications, while designing the NCTD PTC system. This is in an effort to ensure FRA required "type approval" as well as streamlining the final FRA acceptance process.

of 25

Any deviations from I-ETMS functionalities will require Request(s) for Amendment (RFA) to the FRA and may extend the timeline for FRA acceptance. The Contract has been awarded as a single Contract to be executed in two phases (based on available funding). Phase I includes the initial surveys, studies, and all design work necessary to amend the PTCDP submitted by NS, CSX, and UP to the FRA. Phase 2 includes all other work necessary for the design, installation and implementation of the PTC system. The PTC System is scoped to be completed by December 31, 2018 in accordance with the Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2015, and must be compliant with standards and specifications developed by the ITC Committee for forthcoming publication by the Association of American Railroads (AAR). Safety is paramount. Consideration must also be given during the PTC System design to the NCTD level of service. The throughput (capacity) of the commuter railroad system must be maintained after PTC deployment, and the PTC System needs to support future capacity improvements and ridership growth.

a. Phase 1

HTI is scoped to:

i. Perform the necessary studies and surveys, attend meetings, and perform the engineering analysis, design and systems engineering necessary to amend the PTCDP per the RFA procedural requirements of 49 CFR 236.1009. HTI is scoped to provide all documentation, research, validation and verification services to ensure a "Type-Approved" system is provided to NCTD prior to commissioning.

ii. Provide for the development and submittal of a project schedule and planning for each task of the overall PTC program. HTI is scoped to develop a design, procurement and installation milestone schedule and plan construction, testing, and certification of the specified NCTD PTC System for full deployment in accordance with the milestones and deadlines established by NCTD. As part of HTI's coordination with tenant railroads, HTI shall prepare and submit an Interoperability Coordination Plan (ICP).

iii. Provide services necessary to perform detailed onboard surveys:

a. Perform data collection subtasks for onboard systems. The data shall be used in designing the removal, relocation, and installation of on board systems (both existing and new systems).

b. Develop and submit a Locomotive Survey Report and a Cab Car Survey Report. The survey report is intended to identify probable equipment mounting locations for all Interoperable-Electronic Train Management System (IETMS) system components, create the preliminary BOM, measure probable cable lengths required, and identify probable relocations of existing equipment.

c. Develop and submit a preliminary Bill of Materials (BOM) and a baseline installation and relocation manual and schematics for each locomotive, cab car, and Hy-Rail vehicle type.

of 25

b. Phase 2 Upon issuance of the second NTP for Phase 2 by NCTD, HTI is scoped to:

i. Continue with the development, procurement, and installation of the PTC System for NCTD's PTC program.

ii. Prepare all required documents for submittal to, and approval by, the FRA, including the PTC Safety Plan (PTCSP).

iii. Provide a complete functional PTC System in accordance with the Contract Documents in compliance with the NCTD approved milestone schedule. The system is scoped to include wayside, onboard, radio communications network, and back office server segments.

iv. Develop an installation milestone schedule.

v. Plan construction, testing, and certification of the specified NCTD PTC System, including full deployment.

vi. Complete an initial design incorporating all PTC System components, including pre-PTC equipment. The PTC System proposed shall be based on NCTD's PTCIP deferred track area of the San Diego Subdivision.

vii. Be responsible for ensuring proper systems engineering processes, systems integration, system function, and correct sub-systems interaction for all aspects of the NCTD PTC System and its inter-relationships, inter-dependencies, and interfaces with other equipment and systems. The furnished PTC System shall be interoperable with the PTC Systems that are being deployed in Southern California by SCRRA and BNSF. Interoperability refers to the ability of trains to cross property boundaries under PTC at territory speed without stopping to acquire authorities. The PTC System shall also require direct or throughput communications among the PTC offices of NCTD, SCRRA, and BNSF.

viii. Coordinate all PTC activities with the FRA and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), as necessary.

ix. Establish a safety program that conforms with the requirements of 49 CFR 236 Parts 214, 218, 219, CPUC General Orders, and NCTD Operating Rules; and obtain roadway worker safety training certification for all HTI and supplier, subcontractor and subconsultant personnel who may enter the NCTD San Diego Subdivision and project right-of way.

1.3. Key Issues This section describes the key issues that are contributing to, or have the potential to contribute to, schedule slippage.

1.3.1. Wabtec Railway Electronics (WRE) WRE is a key supplier of PTC equipment. While the performance of their onboard equipment has been favorable, their BOS and CAD software has been a consistent source of project delay.

1.3.1.1. Individual Composite CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) Calculator (IC3) IC3 requirements are in development by the ITC, and the functionality will be required by the FRA for PTC Certification. NCTD’s approach will be to apply for Safety Certification as a vital system, accepting a conditional acceptance as a non-vital from the FRA, and meeting the federally mandated requirements. Once vitality is defined within the industry, NCTD will implement the solution. 1.3.1.2. Back Office Server (BOS) and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) WRE has fixed the BOS and CAD software issues that had hindered entering Revenue Service Demonstration during previous quarters.

1.3.2. Documentation Documentation is a key item and will remain a continued focus until the project is completed. 1.3.3. Schedule

of 25

The schedule updates submitted by the Contractor continue to raise concerns for the NCTD team. NCTD continues to work with the Contractor on the schedule. This has improved with the development of the PTC Project Burn Down List but is a continued area of focus. NCTD received approval from the FRA to enter Revenue Service Demonstration of the PTC system. NCTD completed the required consecutive successful runs on revenue trains for entering extended FRA Revenue Service Demonstration on 8/25/2017. NCTD received approval from the FRA to enter Extended Revenue Service Demonstration of the PTC System on 12/01/2017. Conditional Certification for the PTC System from the FRA is expected to be received in 2018, but is heavily dependent on the FRA review schedule. 1.3.4. Testing Software version changes and related regression testing may impact the schedule.

2.4.2. Deficiency Notices (DN), Nonconformance Reports (NCR), Corrective Action Reports (CAR)

The PTC Quality Manager and the HTI System Quality Manager meet on an as needed basis to review the status of the project DNs, NCRs, and CARs. These items are defined as follows:

DNs are items that have been identified as being deficient but not in nonconformance. These items can remain installed and in operation until they are either repaired or otherwise brought out of deficient standing.

NCRs are items that have been identified where there is a discrepancy in characteristic, documentation, or procedure affecting form, fit, or function and renders the quality of an item unacceptable or indeterminate in regard to meeting relevant project requirements.

CARs are measures taken to rectify conditions adverse to quality and to avoid repetition. Table 2.1 summarizes the total number of DNs, NCRs, and CARs that the PTC Quality Manager is tracking for the PTC project: Table 2.1: Quality Tracking

Item Total Number

Open Items Remaining

Closed items

Deficiency Notices 85 0 85

Nonconformance Reports 2 0 2

Corrective and Preventative Actions 16 0 16

of 25

The work needed to resolve deficiency notices are scheduled to coincide with other work taking place at the same locations in order to be as efficient and productive as possible. The deficiency notices are closed through final inspections. Nonconformance Reports are closed when the contractor has provided evidence that the nonconforming item has been properly repaired and/or corrected and meets the requirements of the project. Corrective and Preventative Actions are described in Section 2.4.4 below. These are closed when the root cause analysis has been performed and when the adverse condition has been corrected to meet the requirements of the project based on an inspection of the HTI Quality Manager. In addition to the corrective action, a preventative action may be put in place to prevent recurrence of similar situations. 2.4.3. PTC Quality Audits and Surveillances The PTC Quality Manager is working with the HTI System Quality Manager on the following:

Quality Records - HTI uses Fogbugz, a project management software program, to conduct quality checks and to maintain quality records. Although this program is proprietary and only accessible by HTI employees, the HTI System Quality Manager will be coordinating efforts with the PTC Quality Manager to provide quality documents in a timely fashion when requested. HTI is developing a plan to transfer all quality records over to NCTD per the contract requirements for the project. Once developed, the plan will be submitted for review.

Audits – The following is a summary of audits that were conducted during this quarter and the audits planned for next quarter:

o Conducted:

Wayside/Network Walk Downs: Resolution of Punch List Items is currently “In Progress”.

PTC System Audit (Part of the Change Control Board Function) – This Audit is In Progress. All future System Audits will be based upon the process, procedure, and results discovered from this Audit.

o Planned

Figure 5.1 shows the S-curve for the PTC project (PO 11046) dollars expended and projected, versus dollars contracted. The equation used to formulate the S-Curve is a logistic differential formula, which creates a graphic display of cumulative estimated costs plotted against time. S-Curve forecasting assumes slow initial growth, subsequent rapid growth, followed by declining growth as saturation levels are achieved. The essential concept of this function illustrates that the rate of growth is proportional to both the amount of growth already accomplished and the amount of growth remaining to be accomplished. The expended amount shows the total amount that NCTD has paid to HTI as of September 30, 2016.
