Mr. Speaker:

The Senate has passed ENGROSSED SUBSTITUTE HOUSE BILL NO. 2304, with the following amendment(s):

Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:

"PART I

ESTABLISHMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

PERFORMANCE MEASURES

NEW SECTION. Sec. 101. LEGISLATIVE INTENT. It is the intent of the legislature to establish policy goals for the operation, performance of, and investment in, the state's transportation system. The policy goals shall consist of, but not be limited to, the following benchmark categories, adopted by the state's Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation on November 30, 2000. In addition to improving safety, public investments in transportation shall support achievement of these and other priority goals:

No interstate highways, state routes, and local arterials shall be in poor condition; no bridges shall be structurally deficient, and safety retrofits shall be performed on those state bridges at the highest seismic risk levels; traffic congestion on urban state highways shall be significantly reduced and be no worse than the national mean; delay per driver shall be significantly reduced and no worse than the national mean; per capita vehicle miles traveled shall be maintained at 2000 levels; the nonauto share of commuter trips shall be increased in urban areas; administrative costs as a percentage of transportation spending shall achieve the most efficient quartile nationally; and the state's public transit agencies shall achieve the median cost per vehicle revenue hour of peer transit agencies, adjusting for the regional cost-of-living.

These policy goals shall be the basis for establishment of detailed and measurable performance benchmarks.

It is the intent of the legislature that the transportation commission establish performance measures to ensure transportation system performance at local, regional, and state government levels, and the transportation commission should work with appropriate government entities to accomplish this.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 102. Section 101 of this act takes effect July 1, 2002.

PART II

ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY PROCEDURES FOR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

NEW SECTION. Sec. 201. The legislature finds that there is a pressing need for additional transportation projects to meet the mobility needs of Washington citizens. With major new investments approved to meet these pressing needs, additional work force assistance is necessary to ensure and enhance project delivery timelines. Recruiting and retaining a high quality work force, and implementing new and innovative procedures for delivering these transportation projects is required to accomplish them on a timely basis that best serves the public. It is the intent of sections 203 and 204 of this act that no state employees will lose their employment as a result of implementing new and innovative project delivery procedures.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 202. A new section is added to chapter 47.28 RCW to read as follows:

The definitions in this section apply throughout section 203 of this act and RCW 41.06.380 unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 203. A new section is added to chapter 47.28 RCW to read as follows:

(1) The department of transportation shall work with representatives of transportation labor groups to develop a financial incentive program to aid in retention and recruitment of employee classifications where problems exist and program delivery is negatively affected. The department's financial incentive program must be reviewed and approved by the legislature before it can be implemented. This program must support the goal of enhancing project delivery timelines as outlined in section 201 of this act. Upon receiving approval from the legislature, the department of personnel shall implement, as required, specific aspects of the financial incentive package, as developed by the department of transportation.

(2) Notwithstanding chapter 41.06 RCW, the department of transportation may acquire services from qualified private firms in order to deliver the transportation construction program to the public. Services may be acquired solely for augmenting the department's work force capacity and only when the department's transportation construction program cannot be delivered through its existing or readily available work force. The department of transportation shall work with representatives of transportation labor groups to develop and implement a program identifying those projects requiring contracted services while establishing a program as defined in subsection (1) of this section to provide the classified personnel necessary to deliver future construction programs. The procedures for acquiring construction engineering services from private firms may not be used to displace existing state employees nor diminish the number of existing classified positions in the present construction program. The acquisition procedures must be in accordance with chapter 39.80 RCW.

(3) Starting in December 2003, and biennially thereafter, the secretary shall report to the transportation committees of the legislature on the use of construction engineering services from private firms authorized under this section. The information provided to the committees must include an assessment of the benefits and costs associated with using construction engineering services, or other services, from private firms, and a comparison of public versus private sector costs. The secretary is authorized to act on these findings to ensure the most cost-effective means of service delivery.

Sec. 204. RCW 41.06.380 and 1979 ex.s. c 46 s 2 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) Nothing contained in this chapter shall prohibit any department, as defined in RCW 41.06.020, from purchasing services by contract with individuals or business entities if such services were regularly purchased by valid contract by such department prior to April 23, 1979: PROVIDED, That no such contract may be executed or renewed if it would have the effect of terminating classified employees or classified employee positions existing at the time of the execution or renewal of the contract.

(2) Nothing contained in this chapter prohibits the department of transportation from purchasing construction services or construction engineering services, as those terms are defined in section 202 of this act, by contract from qualified private businesses as specified in section 203(2) of this act.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 205. Sections 201 through 204 of this act and RCW 41.06.380(2) are null and void if new transportation revenues do not become law by January 1, 2003. Sections 201 through 204 of this act and RCW 41.06.380(2) are effective only for the period consistent with the new transportation revenues, after which time these provisions will expire.

PART IV

TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND EFFICIENCY

Sec. 401. RCW 47.05.010 and 1993 c 490 s 1 are each amended to read as follows:

The legislature finds that solutions to state highway deficiencies have become increasingly complex and diverse and that anticipated transportation revenues will fall substantially short of the amount required to satisfy all transportation needs. Difficult investment trade-offs will be required.

It is the intent of the legislature that investment of state transportation funds to address deficiencies on the state highway system be based on a policy of priority programming having as its basis the rational selection of projects and services according to factual need and an evaluation of life cycle costs and benefits ((and which)) that are systematically scheduled to carry out defined objectives within available revenue. The state must develop analytic tools to use a common methodology to measure benefits and costs for all modes.

The priority programming system ((shall)) must ensure preservation of the existing state highway system, relieve congestion, provide mobility for people and goods, support the state's economy, and promote environmental protection and energy conservation.

The priority programming system ((shall)) must implement the state-owned highway component of the statewide ((multimodal)) transportation plan, consistent with local and regional transportation plans, by targeting state transportation investment to appropriate multimodal solutions ((which)) that address identified state highway system deficiencies.

The priority programming system for improvements ((shall)) must incorporate a broad range of solutions that are identified in the statewide ((multimodal)) transportation plan as appropriate to address state highway system deficiencies, including but not limited to highway expansion, efficiency improvements, nonmotorized transportation facilities, high occupancy vehicle facilities, transit facilities and services, rail facilities and services, and transportation demand management programs.

Sec. 402. RCW 47.05.030 and 1998 c 171 s 6 are each amended to read as follows:

The transportation commission shall adopt a comprehensive six-year investment program specifying program objectives and performance measures for the preservation and improvement programs defined in this section. In the specification of investment program objectives and performance measures, the transportation commission, in consultation with the Washington state department of transportation, shall define and adopt standards for effective programming and prioritization practices including a needs analysis process. The ((needs)) analysis process ((shall)) must ensure the identification of problems and deficiencies, the evaluation of alternative solutions and trade-offs, and estimations of the costs and benefits of prospective projects. The investment program ((shall)) must be revised biennially, effective on July 1st of odd-numbered years. The investment program ((shall)) must be based upon the needs identified in the state-owned highway component of the statewide ((multimodal)) transportation plan as defined in RCW 47.01.071(3).

(1) The preservation program ((shall)) consists of those investments necessary to preserve the existing state highway system and to restore existing safety features, giving consideration to lowest life cycle costing. The preservation program must require use of the most cost-effective pavement surfaces, considering:

(a) Life-cycle cost analysis;

(b) Traffic volume;

(d) Environmental and weather conditions;

(e) Materials available; and

(f) Construction factors.

The comprehensive six-year investment program for preservation ((shall)) must identify projects for two years and an investment plan for the remaining four years.

(2) The improvement program ((shall)) consists of investments needed to address identified deficiencies on the state highway system to increase mobility, address congestion, and improve ((mobility,)) safety, support for the economy, and protection of the environment. The six-year investment program for improvements ((shall)) must identify projects for two years and major deficiencies proposed to be addressed in the six-year period giving consideration to relative benefits and life cycle costing. The transportation commission shall give higher priority for correcting identified deficiencies on those facilities classified as facilities of statewide significance as defined in RCW 47.06.140. Project prioritization must be based primarily upon cost-benefit analysis, where appropriate.

The transportation commission shall approve and present the comprehensive six-year investment program to the legislature in support of the biennial budget request under RCW 44.40.070 and 44.40.080.

Sec. 403. RCW 47.05.035 and 1993 c 490 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The department and the commission shall use the transportation demand modeling tools developed under subsection (2) of this section to evaluate investments based on the best mode or improvement, or mix of modes and improvements, to meet current and future long-term demand within a corridor or system for the lowest cost. The end result of these demand modeling tools is to provide a cost-benefit analysis by which the department and the commission can determine the relative mobility improvement and congestion relief each mode or improvement under consideration will provide and the relative investment each mode or improvement under consideration will need to achieve that relief.

(2) The department will participate in the refinement, enhancement, and application of existing transportation demand modeling tools to be used to evaluate investments. This participation and use of transportation demand modeling tools will be phased in.

(3) In developing program objectives and performance measures, the transportation commission shall evaluate investment trade-offs between the preservation and improvement programs. In making these investment trade-offs, the commission shall evaluate, using cost-benefit techniques, roadway and bridge maintenance activities as compared to roadway and bridge preservation program activities and adjust those programs accordingly.

(4) The commission shall allocate the estimated revenue between preservation and improvement programs giving primary consideration to the following factors:

(((1))) (a) The relative needs in each of the programs and the system performance levels that can be achieved by meeting these needs;

(((2))) (b) The need to provide adequate funding for preservation to protect the state's investment in its existing highway system;

(((3))) (c) The continuity of future transportation development with those improvements previously programmed; and

(((4))) (d) The availability of dedicated funds for a specific type of work.

Sec. 404. RCW 47.06.130 and 1993 c 446 s 13 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The department may carry out special transportation planning studies to resolve specific issues with the development of the state transportation system or other statewide transportation issues.

(2) The department shall conduct multimodal corridor analyses on major congested corridors where needed improvements are likely to cost in excess of one hundred million dollars. Analysis will include the cost-effectiveness of all feasible strategies in addressing congestion or improving mobility within the corridor, and must recommend the most effective strategy or mix of strategies to address identified deficiencies. A long-term view of corridors must be employed to determine whether an existing corridor should be expanded, a city or county road should become a state route, and whether a new corridor is needed to alleviate congestion and enhance mobility based on travel demand. To the extent practicable, full costs of all strategies must be reflected in the analysis. At a minimum, this analysis must include:

(a) The current and projected future demand for total person trips on that corridor;

(b) The impact of making no improvements to that corridor;

(d) The cost per hour of travel time saved per day for each mode or improvement proposed to meet demand; and

(e) How much of the current and anticipated future demand will be met and left unmet for each mode or improvement proposed to meet demand.

The end result of this analysis will be to provide a cost-benefit analysis by which policymakers can determine the most cost-effective improvement or mode, or mix of improvements and modes, for increasing mobility and reducing congestion.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 405. The legislature intends that funding for transportation mobility improvements be allocated to the worst traffic chokepoints in the state. Furthermore, the legislature intends to fund projects that provide systemic relief throughout a transportation corridor, rather than spot improvements that fail to improve overall mobility within a corridor.

Sec. 406. RCW 47.05.051 and 1998 c 175 s 12 are each amended to read as follows:

(1) The comprehensive six-year investment program shall be based upon the needs identified in the state-owned highway component of the statewide multimodal transportation plan as defined in RCW 47.01.071(3) and priority selection systems that incorporate the following criteria:

(((1))) (a) Priority programming for the preservation program shall take into account the following, not necessarily in order of importance:

(((a))) (i) Extending the service life of the existing highway system, including using the most cost-effective pavement surfaces, considering:

(A) Life-cycle cost analysis;

(B) Traffic volume;

(D) Environmental and weather conditions;

(E) Materials available; and

(F) Construction factors;

(((b))) (ii) Ensuring the structural ability to carry loads imposed upon highways and bridges; and

(((c))) (iii) Minimizing life cycle costs. The transportation commission in carrying out the provisions of this section may delegate to the department of transportation the authority to select preservation projects to be included in the six-year program.

(((2))) (b) Priority programming for the improvement program ((shall take into account)) must be based primarily upon the following:

(((a))) (i) Traffic congestion, delay, and accidents;

(ii) Location within a heavily traveled transportation corridor;

(iii) Synchronization with other potential transportation projects, including transit and multimodal projects, within the heavily traveled corridor; and

(iv) Use of benefit/cost analysis wherever feasible to determine the value of the proposed project.

(i) Support for the state's economy, including job creation and job preservation;

(((b))) (ii) The cost-effective movement of people and goods;

(((c))) (iii) Accident and accident risk reduction;

(((d))) (iv) Protection of the state's natural environment;

(((e))) (v) Continuity and systematic development of the highway transportation network;

(((f))) (vi) Consistency with local comprehensive plans developed under chapter 36.70A RCW;

(((g))) (vii) Consistency with regional transportation plans developed under chapter 47.80 RCW;

(((h))) (viii) Public views concerning proposed improvements;

(((i))) (ix) The conservation of energy resources;

(((j))) (x) Feasibility of financing the full proposed improvement;

(((k))) (xi) Commitments established in previous legislative sessions;

(((l))) (xii) Relative costs and benefits of candidate programs((;)).

(((m))) (d) Major projects addressing capacity deficiencies which prioritize allowing for preliminary engineering shall be reprioritized during the succeeding biennium, based upon updated project data. Reprioritized projects may be delayed or canceled by the transportation commission if higher priority projects are awaiting funding((; and)).

(((n))) (e) Major project approvals which significantly increase a project's scope or cost from original prioritization estimates shall include a review of the project's estimated revised priority rank and the level of funding provided. Projects may be delayed or canceled by the transportation commission if higher priority projects are awaiting funding.

(((3))) (2) The commission may depart from the priority programming established under subsection((s)) (1) ((and (2))) of this section: (a) To the extent that otherwise funds cannot be utilized feasibly within the program; (b) as may be required by a court judgment, legally binding agreement, or state and federal laws and regulations; (c) as may be required to coordinate with federal, local, or other state agency construction projects; (d) to take advantage of some substantial financial benefit that may be available; (e) for continuity of route development; or (f) because of changed financial or physical conditions of an unforeseen or emergent nature. The commission or secretary of transportation shall maintain in its files information sufficient to show the extent to which the commission has departed from the established priority.

(((4))) (3) The commission shall identify those projects that yield freight mobility benefits or that alleviate the impacts of freight mobility upon affected communities.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 407. The department of transportation shall report the results of its priority programming under RCW 47.05.051 to the transportation committees of the senate and house of representatives by December 1, 2003, and December 1, 2005.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 408. The legislature finds that roads, streets, bridges, and highways in the state represent public assets worth over one hundred billion dollars. These investments require regular maintenance and preservation, or rehabilitation, to provide cost-effective transportation services. Many of these facilities are in poor condition. Given the magnitude of public investment and the importance of safe, reliable roadways to the motoring public, the legislature intends to create stronger accountability to ensure that cost-effective maintenance and preservation is provided for these transportation facilities.

Sec. 409. RCW 35.84.060 and 1969 ex.s. c 281 s 26 are each amended to read as follows:

Every municipal corporation which owns or operates an urban public transportation system as defined in RCW 47.04.082 within its corporate limits, may acquire, construct, extend, own, or operate such urban public transportation system to any point or points not to exceed fifteen miles outside of its corporate limits: PROVIDED, That no municipal corporation shall extend its urban public transportation system beyond its corporate limits to operate in any territory already served by a privately operated auto transportation company holding a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the utilities and transportation commission.

As a condition of receiving state funding, the municipal corporation shall submit a maintenance management plan for certification by the transportation commission or its successor entity. The plan must inventory all transportation system assets within the direction and control of the municipality, and provide a preservation plan based on lowest life cycle cost methodologies.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 410. A new section is added to chapter 36.56 RCW to read as follows:

As a condition of receiving state funding, a county that has assumed the transportation functions of a metropolitan municipal corporation shall submit a maintenance and preservation management plan for certification by the transportation commission or its successor entity. The plan must inventory all transportation system assets within the direction and control of the county, and provide a preservation plan based on lowest life cycle cost methodologies.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 411. A new section is added to chapter 36.57A RCW to read as follows:

As a condition of receiving state funding, a public transportation benefit area authority shall submit a maintenance and preservation management plan for certification by the transportation commission or its successor entity.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 412. A new section is added to chapter 46.68 RCW to read as follows:

During the 2003-2005 biennium, cities and towns shall provide to the transportation commission, or its successor entity, preservation rating information on at least seventy percent of the total city and town arterial network. Thereafter, the preservation rating information requirement shall increase in five percent increments in subsequent biennia. The rating system used by cities and towns must be based upon the Washington state pavement rating method or an equivalent standard approved by the transportation commission or its successor entity.

Sec. 413. RCW 47.06.050 and 1993 c 446 s 5 are each amended to read as follows:

The state-owned facilities component of the statewide transportation plan shall consist of:

(1) The state highway system plan, which identifies program and financing needs and recommends specific and financially realistic improvements to preserve the structural integrity of the state highway system, ensure acceptable operating conditions, and provide for enhanced access to scenic, recreational, and cultural resources. The state highway system plan shall contain the following elements:

(a) A system preservation element, which shall establish structural preservation objectives for the state highway system including bridges, identify current and future structural deficiencies based upon analysis of current conditions and projected future deterioration, and recommend program funding levels and specific actions necessary to preserve the structural integrity of the state highway system consistent with adopted objectives. Lowest life cycle cost methodologies must be used in developing a pavement management system.
