Line Item Description: Amendment 1 - This is a new ALI 1. SCOPE AND COST NJ TRANSIT is requesting funds in the amount of $26,904,000 for the Hoboken Yard Signal Power project. This line item funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3 and are not funded by insurance. Funding for this standalone resiliency line item is from Tier 2. The total cost the project is $26,904,000. The total funding provided in this line item is $26,904,000. Funding for this line item supports design and construction of modifications to the Hoboken Yard Signal Power Distribution system including raising components such as feeder and branch cables, transformers, and sectionalizing switches above the Design Flood Elevation. Modifications to existing poles and catenary structures and the installation of new poles are included to support the additional structural loads from the new aerial cabling and elevated equipment. Costs include design, project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope. A third party contractor will be used. Through a federally compliant RFP process, NJ TRANSIT selected STV as the design contractor. A construction contractor and construction management services are required and have not been selected as of grant submittal. No contracts or in-house work were included in Sandy Grant 1, NJ-44-X001. The useful life for the project is 25 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D). 2. RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY This project is being funded from the local priority resiliency allocation. EMERGENCY RELIEF FUNDING CATEGORY Local Priority Resiliency (Tier 2) 3. RESILIENCY ANALYSIS This project is being funded from the local priority resiliency allocation. The applicable FTA templates (Attachment A, Justification Statement (Part B), Attachment C and flood maps) have been completed and submitted Wherever feasible, elements are located at or above ABFE+1. For elements that cannot be raised (such as those necessarily at or below track level) materials and components will be selected during design to be inherently resistant to, or otherwise protected against, damage by flooding, to the greatest extent possible in each case. FTA provided preliminary resiliency approval concurrent with grant approval. 4. BASIS OF COST ESTIMATE The cost estimate for this line item is based primarily on a concept design, interpreted and adjusted by NJ Transit in-house personnel who have expertise in the subject matter, to reflect the specific scope of the work and other known factors including escalation. 5. WORK SEPARATION / SCOPE Design and construction will be performed by a third party. STV was selected as the contractor for design services. The construction contractor and construction manager have not been selected as of grant submittal. NJ TRANSIT’s in-house forces are required for design. The project is included in NJ TRANSIT`s FY15 Force Account plan on page 222. While this project requires the use of NJ TRANSIT`s in house Electric Traction forces for completion of rail infrastructure work, no in-house forces are required in FY15. The project will be included in NJ TRANSIT`s FY16 Force Account Plan. 6. PRE-AWARD AUTHORITY Pre-award authority was exercised on February 3, 2013.

This line item funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3 and are not funded by insurance. Funding for this standalone resiliency line item is from Tier 2. The total cost the project is $16,320,000. The total funding provided in this line item is $16,320,000 This project includes design and construction for the replacement and relocation of existing signal equipment at Hoboken Terminal. There are 24 existing wayside cases that contain control relays, track circuit equipment, transformers, and power equipment. This equipment will be replaced with new equipment. This project includes installing the new equipment at higher elevations to afford it better protection from potential surge waters. However, there is not enough room in the cases to install all of the equipment at higher elevations. It is also not feasible to move the transformers and power equipment to other locations as they need to be located near the tracks. In order to increase the elevations of the new control relays and track circuit equipment, they will be installed on the third floor of the site’s Terminal Tower. By doing this, sufficient space will be created within the cases to allow the new transformers and power equipment to be installed approximately four feet higher than the existing equipment. New conduit and cable will also be installed from Terminal Tower to the wayside cases in order to provide the necessary equipment interface. Existing equipment that is being replaced will be stored for future use A third party contractor will be used. Through a federally compliant RFP process, Allied Resources Staffing Solutions, Inc. has been selected as the Construction Manager. No contracts or in-house work were included in Sandy Grant 1, NJ-44-X001 for this line item. The useful life for the project is 25 Years.

Budget Activity Line Item: 12.44.02 - REHAB/RENOV - MAINTENANCE FACILITY |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Line Item Description: Amendment 1 - This is a new ALI 1. SCOPE AND COST NJ TRANSIT is requesting funds in the amount of $17,915,000 for the MMC/ ROC Building Flood Control project. This line item funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3 and are not funded by insurance. FTA funding for this standalone resiliency line item is from Tier 2. The total cost the project is $17,915,000. The total funding provided in this line item is $17,915,000. Funding for this line item supports design and installation of systems and devices to prevent or reduce flooding from entering the Meadows Maintenance Facility (MMC), which consists of multiple buildings, and the Rail Operations Center (ROC), along the buildings` perimeters. Specifically, vulnerabilities in the foundation system and at openings within the building envelope, including openings for rolling stock will be targeted, as well as ancillary systems such as HVAC. Doors and other openings in the building envelope subject to flooding will be protected to prevent or reduce water infiltration in case of flooding. Flood mitigation equipment/doors will be installed at currently unprotected access doors. High volume pumps and deployable pumps (approximately 10 and 20 respectively; exact number is to be determined during design) will be installed to protect these key areas so that the specialized equipment and controls remain dry during a repeat storm and water can be pumped out rapidly afterwards if necessary. These resiliency improvements will protect the ROC and the MMC facilities during repeat storms so that they can continue to operate normally or to allow the rapid resumption of services once a storm is past. Costs include design, project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope. Through a federally compliant RFP process, NJ TRANSIT selected Jacobs as the design contractor. The construction contractor and construction management services have not been selected as of grant submittal. Some contracts and in-house work for this project were included in Sandy Grant 1, NJ-44-X001 for the MMC. Details are listed in Grants.gov application. This line item represents work beyond that in the previous grant and is not a duplication of effort. The Work in Grant 1 consisted of minimal/temporary repairs necessary to render operational those systems that had been damaged by Superstorm Sandy, such as cleaning of drain systems and by repairing or replacing MMC equipment. The work under this project is intended to make the facility resilient. The useful life of the project`s major components is 15 - 25 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D). 2.

This project involves the design and construction for the repair and replacement of the Hoboken Terminal House Power Supply (a.k.a. `Depot Substation`) including switch gear, transformers and associated relays, circuit breakers, power cables, electrical system components, and ancillary equipment. To improve the resiliency of the substation, it will be relocated above design flood elevation to the second floor of the Pullman & Immigrant building (a.k.a. `Immigrant` building), which is adjacent to the existing substation. The utility metering and isolation switch for the 13.2kV feed from Observer Highway will also be re-located to the second floor of the Immigrant building. The Immigrant building will be upgraded to meet structural requirements for the substation and all modifications will comply with SHPO requirements. The Substation provides power to the Hoboken Terminal at 480V. The projected load is 1900kVA, the substation is double ended and utilizes 3000/3990(AA/FA) kVA transformers, and 4000amp main bus, main circuit breakers and bus tie breakers. The justification for the request is the Hoboken Terminal House substation provides house power for Hoboken Terminal which services all NJ TRANSIT commuter rail lines operating from Hoboken, and was damaged by Superstorm Sandy. Replacement of the substation in a resilient manner in-place and in-kind is not feasible. The facility is located in the eastern portion of Hoboken Yard which is in a coastal floodplain designated Zone AE for which the 100-year storm BFE is 12 ft. NAVD 88. The facility is to be relocated to the second floor of the adjacent Pullman Immigrant building (16.08` NAVD 88), above the Design Flood Elevation of 14.5 feet at this site. Design and construction are performed by a third party. Through a federally compliant RFP process, NJ TRANSIT selected Gannett Fleming as the contractor for design. The construction contractor and construction management contractor have not been selected as of grant submittal. The project is not a continuation of any previous Section 5324 funded scope. The useful life for the project is 30 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D). 2. RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY The total cost of this project is $24,058,978 ($12,888,954-Recovery/Restoration Funds/$11,170,024-Integrated Resiliency Funds). The methodology for the cost split between recovery and integrated resiliency is based on an estimate of resiliency components. The resiliency component is fundamentally associated with or a part of a recovery project. The resiliency components for this restoration project include raising components at a higher elevation and using inherently more resilient components. The estimated cost associated with the resiliency is $11,170,024. A cost estimate of the major cost components including substation replacement, structural repairs and SHPO related costs is attached in TEAM (Hoboken Terminal House Power Cost Estimate). EMERGENCY RELIEF FUNDING CATEGORY Pro-Rated Recovery 3. RESILIENCY ANALYSIS This ALI is not being funded from the local priority resiliency allocation. Wherever feasible, elements are located at or above ABFE+1. For elements that cannot be raised (such as those necessarily at or below grade level) materials and components will be selected during design to be inherently resistant to, or otherwise protected against, damage by flooding, to the greatest extent possible in each case. 4. PRIOR FEDERAL FUNDING Previous federal funding was not received for this ALI. 5. BASIS OF COST ESTIMATE The cost estimate for this ALI is based primarily on 60% Design. 6.

Line Item Description: Amendment 2 - This is a new ALI Bay Head 1. SCOPE AND COST Funds in the amount of $23,700,000 ($23,700,000-Recovery/Restoration) support the Bay Head Yard Substation Repair project to repair/replace assets damaged by Superstorm Sandy. This ALI funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3. The total cost of the project is $23,700,000. The $23,700,000 includes $700,000 that is transferred from 123-00-12.34.03 Rehab/Renov. Terminal/Intermodal - Weehawken Ferry Repairs. Funds in the amount of $23,000,000 will be matched with $2,300,000 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits). The $700,000 that is being transferred into this ALI is from a previously awarded ALI and was matched with Transportation Development Credit in grant NJ-44-X003-00. Funding for this ALI supports the Bay Head Substation project. The existing Bay Head Substations are located on opposite sides of the parking and assembly area at the east side of Bay Head Yard, adjacent to the crew quarters and administrative facility building. They are approximately 1,000 ft. south of Osborne Avenue, at the end of Twilight Road, in the town of Bay Head NJ. Costs include design, project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope. This project involves the design and construction of a replacement Bay Head Yard Substation including switch-gear, transformers and all other associated power cable, devices, and controls. The Bay Head substation will be constructed on site. It is a brick façade over concrete masonry units, with concrete floors/foundations and steel deck/membrane roofing. The substation building is approximately 123’-2” long (includes 74’-8” long building + 48’-6” transformer enclosure) x 36’-2” wide x 26’-10” tall. The adjacent generator building is 37’-9” long x 18’-9” wide x 26’-10” tall. Substation building area is approximately 2,700 sq. ft.; Transformer area is approximately 1,380 sq. ft.; and Generator building area is approximately 710 sq. ft. This is subject to change as design finalizes and construction commences. It is solely for housing substation equipment and electrical distribution systems. The replacement project will combine the functions of both existing substations into a single new substation. A redundant utility service feeder for the new substation will also be included. The Substation will be elevated to Design Flood Elevation or above, and utilize components designed to better withstand contact with salt water where elements cannot be raised, in a manner consistent with codes and standards. The new substation will have two outdoor liquid filled 3750/4200 kVA transformers. The substation transformers will feed a 13.2kV switchgear line-up inside the new substation building which will power two wayside power unit substations and two building transformers for normal building house power supply. A new 800kW, 480Y/277V standby diesel generator system will be installed to supply standby building house power to replace the emergency generator damaged in Superstorm Sandy. The justification for the request is Bay Head Yard Substation provides power for all Yard maintenance and operating facilities at Bay Head. The existing substations were damaged by Superstorm Sandy. One of the two was rendered inoperable; the other was substantially damaged and is operating in a compromised state. Replacement of the substations in a resilient manner, in-place and in-kind is not feasible. The facility is located in the eastern portion of Bay Head Yard, in a coastal floodplain designated Zone AE for which the 100-year storm BFE is 10 ft. NAVD 88. The facility is to be raised to a Design Flood Elevation of 12.5 ft. The existing substations will be demolished and disposed as part of the construction contract. A third party contractor will be used. Through a federally compliant RFP process, Gannett Fleming was selected as the contractor for design services. The construction contractor and construction manager have not been selected as of grant submittal. The project is not a continuation of any previous Section 5324 funded scope.

Line Item Description: Amendment 2 - This is a new ALI ROC Unit Substation 1. SCOPE AND COST Funds in the amount of $6,610,045 (LPR funds) support the Rail Operations Center (ROC) Unit Substation Project. The $6,610,045 includes funds in the amount of $1,250,000 transferred from 124-00 – 12.42.11 – Purchase Rail Support Vehicles – Fuel Trucks (LPR). It also includes funds in the amount of $2,300,000 transferred from 126-00– 12.64.02 – Rehab Communication Systems - Interoperable Communications (LPR). A total of $3,550,000 is being transferred into this ALI. The remaining funds in the amount of $3,060,045 are matched with $306,005 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits). The $3,550,000 was matched with Transportation Development Credits in NJ-44-X003. This ALI funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3 and are not funded by insurance. This project is a Locally Prioritized Resiliency project. The total project cost is $6,610,045. The total funding provided in this ALI is $6,610,045. Funding for this ALI supports the Rail Operations Center (ROC) Unit Substation, located at the Meadows Maintenance Complex site in Kearny, NJ. Costs include project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope. The justification for this request is the Rail Operations Center (ROC) monitors and controls all train movements throughout the system, and as such the facility requires reliable power at all times. The existing substation and emergency generator are susceptible to flooding. During Sandy, the water level reached just above the concrete pad of the equipment. Electrical components were not damaged, however to make the substation more resilient to future weather events it will be replaced with a new substation installed indoors at a higher elevation in its own dedicated building. The indoor location will provide a controlled environment to allow safe and expeditious maintenance, restoration of power and repairs in all-weather conditions and at any time of day. The substation building is approximately 93’-0” long x 20’-0” wide x 23’-3” tall. The substation building area is approximately 1,860 sq. ft. This is subject to change as design finalizes and construction commences. The building is for housing substation equipment and electrical distribution systems. It is insulated precast concrete panels, similar to the existing MMC/ROC construction; with concrete floors/foundations and steel deck/membrane roofing. The building will be constructed on site. The substation design does utilize factory fabricated precast panel walls, but they will be erected and set in place on site on a cast-in-place foundation. Construction service and construction management services are performed by a third party and will be selected through a federally compliant RFP process. The construction contractor and construction management contractor have not been selected as of grant submittal. The project is not a continuation of any previous Section 5324 funded scope. The useful life for the project is 30 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D). 2. RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY This project is being funded from the local priority resiliency allocation. EMERGENCY RELIEF FUNDING CATEGORY Locally Prioritized Resiliency 3. RESILIENCY ANALYSIS This project is being funded from the local priority resiliency allocation. The applicable FTA templates (Attachment A, Justification Statement (Part B), Attachment C and flood maps) have been completed and submitted. NJ TRANSIT evaluated the asset in relation to FEMA BFE and incorporated findings and requirements into the NJT Resiliency Program Design Criteria used to guide the development of the Basis Of Design for the project. FTA provided preliminary resiliency approval concurrent with grant approval. 4. PRIOR FEDERAL FUNDING Previous federal funding was not received for this ALI. 5.

||||||||||||||||||||||||
Line Item Description: Amendment 2 - This ALI is being decreased This amendment decreases the ALI by $700,000 from $4,700,000 to $4,000,000. This amount represents the actual cost of the project. The $700,000 will be transferred to 125-01 – 12.54.01 – Rehab/Renovate Traction Power Equipment – Bay Head Yard Substation Repair (Recovery/Restoration) which is a new ALI in this amendment. Funds in the amount of $4,700,000 were awarded for in NJ-44-X003-00 for the Weehawken Ferry Repairs project. The project involved dredging and related activities at the Weehawken Port Imperial Ferry Terminal dock area and channel to remove silt deposits created by Superstorm Sandy that reshaped the terminal docking area. This project is complete. The actual cost was $700,000 less than originally anticipated. ------------- 1. SCOPE AND COST NJ TRANSIT is requesting funding in the amount of $4,700,000 to support the dredging of Weehawken Ferry Terminal which was silted as a result of Superstorm Sandy. This line item funds expenses that were not eligible under categories 1, 2, and 3 and not covered by insurance. Funding for this line item is from Tier I. Funds will be matched with $470,000 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits). Funds for this line item support the dredging and related activities at the Weehawken Port Imperial Ferry Terminal dock area and channel to remove silt deposits created by Superstorm Sandy that reshaped the terminal docking. Costs include design, construction, project administration, construction management, and any other related costs required to complete the scope such as equipment and supplies. The Port Imperial Ferry Terminal is an intermodal hub connecting with the Hudson Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) service to Tonnelle Avenue Park/Ride, PATH and NJ TRANSIT commuter busses to Bergen and Passaic counties. Dredging is required to repair the channel depth for unimpeded ferry operations. Overly shallow water causes silt to be ingested by the engines, clogging and degrading them prematurely. The project restores the depth of the channel to pre-Sandy conditions. The Terminal is off the coast of the city of Weehawken, built in the Hudson River with pedestrian ramps between the mainland and the terminal platform and the work of this project is located entirely within the Hudson River. The useful life of the project is considered to be the normal maintenance cycle for dredging, which occurs once every ten (10) years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D).

Budget Activity Line Item: 12.42.11 - PURCHASE - RAIL SUPPORT VEHICLES |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
Line Item Description: Amendment 2 - This ALI is being reduced This amendment decreases the ALI by $1,250,000 from $2,000,000 to $750,000. This amount represents the actual cost of the project. The funds will be transferred to -125-03 - 12.54.01 – Rehab/Renovate Traction Power Equipment – ROC Unit Substation which is also a LPR project and is a new ALI in this amendment. The approved scope for fuel trucks in NJ-44-X003-00 is for the purchase up to 4 fuel trucks, at a cost of $2,000,000 to provide NJ TRANSIT with the ability to fuel emergency generators, locomotives and other equipment in the event of a disruption to the regional fuel supply. The related equipment provides the capability to fuel locomotives, fixed fuel tanks and emergency generators as the various equipment have differing nozzle and filling requirements. NJ TRANSIT recommends that the line item for this activity be modified to provide for the purchase of two fuel trucks with duel fueling (hose sizes) and high-rail capability to allow the vehicles to operate on rail and highways. The estimated cost of the two fuel trucks is $750,000. The fuel trucks will be equipped with the necessary equipment and hoses to fuel diesel locomotives, fixed fuel tanks and emergency generators. NJ TRANSIT has determined that two fuel trucks with the duel fueling capabilities are sufficient to meet the operational requirements of fueling locomotives and other critical assets in the event of a disruption in the availability of fuel. The high-rail capability provides for more efficient access to critical facilities and terminals in the event local access roads are impassable. ------------- 1. SCOPE AND COST NJ TRANSIT is requesting funds in the amount of $2,000,000 to support the purchase of up to four (4) fuel trucks and related expenses. Funding for this standalone resiliency project is provided from Tier 2. Funds will be matched with $200,000 of credit from toll revenue expenditures (Transportation Development Credits). Funding for this line item supports the purchase of fuel trucks, support equipment, and related activities. Costs include design, acquisition, project administration, and any other related costs required to complete the scope such as equipment and supplies. These fuel trucks are intended to be used in cases where a permanent fueling location is rendered inoperable or inaccessible during a storm. If existing fixed fuel facilities in rail yards are inoperable, the fuel trucks can be filled at any commercial station and driven to the site where fuel is needed. The fuel trucks will also assist in pre-storm preparations by accelerating the pre-storm fueling of locomotives that are to be moved to predetermined safe haven locations. These locations have been selected based on the criteria of centralized location, low flood risk, and storage capacity. In addition, the fuel trucks will be able to service equipment at safe haven locations where fuel may be unavailable after a storm. The fuel trucks will be stored at locations not susceptible to flooding with connecting roadway that are also not at risk for flooding. When used, they will serve sites throughout the NJ TRANSIT service area. The project is not a continuation of any previous section 5324 funded scope. The useful life of the trucks is ten (10) years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D). 2. RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY This project is being funded from the local priority resiliency allocation. 3. RESILIENCY ANALYSIS This project is being funded from the local priority resiliency allocation. The applicable FTA templates (Attachment A, Justification Statement (Part B), Attachment C and flood maps) have been completed and submitted to demonstrate that the project meets the ABFE+1 requirement.

The Central Instrument Location (CIL) at Meadows Interlocking will be raised to provide greater resiliency from future storms. In addition, wiring, cables and other components that cannot be raised above the design flood elevation will be made more resilient with the use of waterproof components, connections and cabling. Costs include design, project administration, construction, the purchase of necessary equipment and materials, and any other related costs required to complete the scope. The project is located in Kearny, NJ. A third party contractor will not be used. No contracts in house work were included in Sandy Grant 1, NJ-44-X001or NJ-44-X003. The useful life for the project is 25 years. If NJ TRANSIT disposes of, or discontinues using, an asset acquired with FTA grant funding prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining Federal interest will be returned to the FTA (per Circular 5010.1D). 2. RECOVERY AND RESILIENCY The total cost of this project $10,285,000. Funds in the amount of $10,285,000 are requested in this application (Tier 1-Damage - $7,235,000/Tier 1 - Related Resiliency - $3,050,000). The methodology for the cost split between recovery and resiliency is based on an estimate of the resiliency component. The resiliency components are fundamentally associated with or a part of a recovery project. The resiliency components for this restoration project include raising components at a higher elevation and using inherently more resilient components. EMERGENCY RELIEF FUNDING CATEGORY Pro-Rated Recovery (Tier 1) 3. RESILIENCY ANALYSIS This line item is not being funded from the local priority resiliency allocation. Wherever feasible, elements are located at or above ABFE+1.
