1.1 Overview of Metro’s Sustainability Program

Since 2008, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has focused on the design and construction of rail projects in a sustainable manner. This effort has been led by Metro’s Environmental Compliance and Sustainability Department (ECSD) and continues to evolve. This Guidebook highlights the key steps and work products prepared by the project contractors and ECSD staff in the implementation of Metro’s Sustainability Program. This Guidebook includes the following:

> Metro Sustainability Program > Program Documents > Regulatory Requirements> Monthly Process, including Forms and Deliverables> Annual requirements

The key components of Metro’s Sustainability Program include, but are not limited to, the following:> Design and construction of world-class projects

> Serve as a leader in: > Renewable energy > Emissions reduction > Climate resiliency > Reduction of adverse effects on

Disadvantaged Communities

> Meeting regional and local standards and regulations and the requirements for compliance;

> Identification and implementation of Federal and State regulatory requirements. Particular attention should be paid to those tied to transportation funding;

> Continually striving to improve the design and construction processes that are both internal and external;

> Coordination with all engineering disciplines during the design and construction phases; and

> Use of third-party sustainability certifications such as Envision and/or LEED.

There are two different project delivery methods currently used by Metro where a Sustainability Plan is required to track the incorporation of sustainable design and construction methods consistent with CALGreen:

> Design-Build (DB)

> Design-Bid-Build (DBB)

Based on the type of project delivery method used by Metro, the approach used to address the CALGreen requirements in the Sustainability Plan is different. To address the differences in the two types of methods, there are different Metro specifications for DB and DBB.

Specification 01 35 63 is for the DB method and can be found in Metro’s Division 1 Specifications. This specification was prepared to address projects that are constructed by contractors based on a project designed by Metro or its consultants. This specification targets the DB contractor.

Specification 01 36 63 is for the DBB method and can also be found in Metro’s Division 1 Specifications. This specification was prepared to address projects where Metro’s engineering and planning departments are taking the lead and/or managing the design of the project. Also, ECSD wants to make sure that most Metro projects incorporate the Sustainability Plan components both during design and construction, therefore, Specification 01 36 63 was written. Both specifications are now part of Metro’s Baseline specifications.

The following flow charts outline Sustainability Plan requirements and steps for each of the project delivery methods utilized. Figures 1 and 2 on the next page present an overview of Metro’s sustainability process for Design-Build projects that is initiated at a project’s conception, incorporated into the project’s design, and addressed during the project’s construction. As shown in Figure 2, at key milestones during design and construction, ECSD and their consultant team present workshops on Metro’s sustainable practices and periodically review the contractor’s progress in the completion of sustainability elements committed to in the project’s Sustainability Plan.

Figure 3 on the next page presents Metro’s sustainability process for Design-Bid-Build projects. During the design phase, ECSD and consultant team works with Metro’s designers, planners and engineers to

Further, there are several documents that Metro has developed that are in addition to the Sustainability Plan Specification. These documents are to be referenced during the project’s design and construction activities. These documents include the Sustainability Technical Requirement, Green Construction Policy and Metro Rail Design Criteria (MRDC) Section 2 Environmental Requirements.


incorporate sustainable items into the project design which is reflected in the project bid documents. The Sustainabilty Plan process for contractors begins in the pre-construction phase after bid and award and includes development of a Sustainability Plan for implementation of the project design components.

1.2 Metro’s Sustainability Documents and Requirements

Metro has developed several documents, approved by the management team or the Board of Directors, that have led to improved sustainable practices for the entire Agency. Many of these documents are listed below:

> Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling and Reuse Policy

> Green Construction Policy

METRO’S SUSTAINABILITY TEAM is always willing to PURSUE INNOVATION AND NEW APPROACHES and willing to listen to opportunities presented for ‘THINKING BIG AND GOING BEYOND’


1.3 Related Regulatory RequirementsThe primary requirements and practices incorporated into Metro’s Sustainability Program are provided by the following Local ordinances and municipal codes (City and/or County);

> Regional agency requirements, codes, and standards

> State Agencies

> Federal Agencies

The following table summarizes the key sources of sustainability requirements.

thinking big and going beyondMetro realizes that, while there is a need for cost effective transportation infrastructure in the Los Angeles region, there are sustainability opportunities to stretch above and beyond the regulatory requirements of the current laws, codes, and standards for design and construction. For certain projects, there are new technologies, construction techniques, and/or equipment for consideration by Metro, especially if it passes the Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA), is technically sound, and approved by Metro engineers. In certain cases, it benefits both the project contractor and Metro to explore opportunities for design and construction practices potentially above and beyond the original contract bid documents. Metro’s sustainability team is always willing to pursue innovation and new approaches and will work

with project contractors to pursue opportunities that are “Thinking Big and Going Beyond.” Examples include:

> Last mile strategies

> The latest in renewables — membranes, walls, and other similar construction techniques

> “Ultra” energy efficient systems

> Enhanced commissioning approaches, such as technology that integrates known concerns or addresses typical pitfalls in the industry, that result in efficiency and implementation rate increased due to approach.

> Resiliency: Planning for climate change impacts that is more than earthquake preparedness

> Commitment to ‘Responsible Construction’

> Net zero

> Energy Positive

> Living Building Challenge

> Buildings that Educate Users

> WELL Building Certification

summaryThe Sustainability Program plays an important role and function for Metro. Not only does it provide proof that Metro projects are complying with sustainable practices, but it also demonstrates how effective and reliable the contractors are in working with Metro to meet their sustainability goals and the objectives to the community in which they operate.

2 NUTS AND BOLTS: SUSTAINABILITY PLAN PREPARATION

2.1 Sustainability Plan Process and Contents

The preparation of the project’s Sustainability Plan (SP) should follow the Sustainability Plan Outline provided in Appendix A to this Guidebook. A preliminary first draft of the project’s Sustainability Plan should be provided to the Metro Sustainability Manager for an “over the shoulder” review (which can include an informal working meeting) rather than submittal through the more formal submittal process. This will allow for the preliminary first draft of the Sustainability Plan to be quickly reviewed and returned to the Contractor, so that the formal process can begin on schedule.

After revisions are made, the contractor can submit the Draft Sustainability Plan to Document Control for distribution to the appropriate Metro staff for review and comment. Comments from Metro staff will be provided to the Metro Sustainability Manager, who will in turn compile the appropriate comments into a Submittal Review Form and have this Form transmitted to the contractor through the Document Control process. The Submittal Review Form (which will also be used for the review of the contractor’s Sustainability Plan monthly progress update) is provided in Appendix F-1 to this Guidebook.

2.2 Sustainability Plan ElementsIn addition to the Sustainability Plan Outline, the contractor would be expected to use the following resources in the preparation of the project-specific Sustainability Elements defined in the Sustainability Plan:

> the Project’s contract documents, (including the designs, MRDCs, specifications, and Environmental Documents including the Environmental Impact Report and/or Environmental Impact Statement)

> CALGreen requirements including those defined in the local ordinances for the respective jurisdiction(s) for the project; and

> Agency requirements listed in Table 1 - Sources of Sustainability Requirements in this Guidebook.,

5

The Contractor should be able to ascertain the SP elements for the project. It is recognized that each project is unique and the SP elements will vary accordingly.

requirements for contractors – what’s exPectedMetro has worked to simplify what is required of the Contractor to meet and comply with the SP. This Guidebook is an example of the simplification along with many of the forms that assist in clarifying what is required of the Contractor.

2.3 Resources in AppendicesThis Guidebook provides the following documents that serve as references for the preparation of the Sustainability Plan:

> Appendix B CALGreen and Metro Rail Design Criteria Summaries

> Appendix C Sustainability Plan Monthly Update Supporting Documentation

Appendix C is an important Appendix as the supporting documents that are expected have been identified. Consistent with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Sustainability Specification, the Monthly Submittal shall include a comprehensive matrix indicating the status of the Project’s sustainability components accompanied by Supporting Documentation that provide evidence of the component’s completion. The purpose of the table in Appendix C is to define the required Supporting Documentation to be provided in response to the California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen).

The Supporting Documentation shall include, but not limited to, the following:

> Plans consisting of design drawings, details, floor plans, legends, etc. Only submit the specific plan sheet(s) referenced in the Sustainability Plan Monthly Submittals matrix;

> Studies and reports providing alternative analyses, technical studies, narrative summaries;


6

> Calculations and technical reports addressing specific topics; and

> Correspondence from or plans approved by responsible State, regional or local agencies (only submit signature page and title page of written plans approved by these agencies).

In addition, the following Appendices provide information that may be useful for the Contractor’s team. The Information Sheets were developed to assist in understanding what was required by CALGreen.

> Appendix D Sustainability Information Sheets

> Appendix E Local Jurisdictions – Sustainability Requirements

Metro has worked TO SIMPLIFY what is required of the Contractor to meet and comply with the SP. THIS GUIDEBOOK IS AN EXAMPLE ALONG WITH MANY OF THE FORMS.


3 STAYING ON TRACK: SUSTAINABILITY PLAN REVIEW

This section discusses what is expected related to the monthly and annual review processes during project design and construction, and Metro’s review

and approval process.

3.1 The Monthly ReviewBy the 30th of each month, the project contractor is required to submit their Sustainability Plan Monthly Update report through the Document Control process. The contractor’s submittal shall include the documents and forms that are to be turned in as part of the status review. In addition, based on the type of work completed for that month, there may be supplemental documents that are required as part of the submittal. These supplemental documents are listed in Appendix C which will be reviewed for that month’s submittal.

The Sustainability Plan Monthly Update report will consist, at a minimum, of:

> Monthly Matrix – See Appendix F

> Summary table of the sustainability elements that indicates the elements that are completed for the month addressed and a summary discussion of the supporting documentation that provides evidence that the sustainability element that has been completed (see Appendix F); and

> Supporting documentation in an electronic format that addresses the sustainability element that has been indicated as complete (refer to Appendix C for a list of Supporting Documentation required for the sections in 2013 CALGreen and 2016 CALGreen)- see Appendix C.

contractor’s role and submittalsThe Contractor is responsible via their Sustainability Designee, to submit all of the required forms and documentation for the previous month. It is expected that there is sufficient time to collect all of the information on what was completed during the previous month, as well as collect and provide copies of all of the supporting documentation for the submittal.

metro review and aPProval ProcessThere is a formal submittal process that has been developed for Metro’s review of the Sustainability Plan Monthly Update report. The key steps of this process are presented in Figure 3.

The first form to be turned in is the Monthly form

and it is submitted to Document control which then forwards it to the Metro Sustainability Manager for the project. This form is turned in by the Contractor as part of the monthly submittal and it is this form that is used as the basis for the initial Metro review. Once the initial Metro review is completed, then a Response matrix is sent back to the Contractor. If additional documentation is required and/or explanation, that will be requested of the Contractor in order to finalize the submittal.

Another option that the Contractor always has available is what is called an ‘Over The Shoulder (OTS). It is possible to request an OTS from the Metro Sustainability Manager that does not go through Doc Control.

The Metro Sustainability Manager will compile comments into a Submittal Review Form and this Form would be transmitted to the contractor through the Document Control process. The Submittal Review Form is provided in F-1 to this Guidebook.

If there are comments provided by Metro on the Submittal Review Form (for example a request for additional information, corrections, or missing or alternative supporting documentation) the contractor will be required to provide this information along with responses on the Submittal Review Form in order to finalize the submittal. The return of the Submittal Review Form that responds to the comments shall be submitted to Metro through the Documentation

Control process for the final review. If needed, an “over the shoulder” review (including an informal working meeting) can be requested by the contractor prior to the return of the Submittal Review Form and requested information through Document Control for final review.

It is important to note that every review will be accompanied by a final disposition. The possible types of disposition that could be given are listed below. The project-specific types of disposition are defined in sustainability specifications for each project.

> Approved

> Approved As Noted (no resubmittal required)

> Rejected - Revise and Resubmit

> Record Only (submittal for information only)

3.2 Annual Board ReportEach year, ECSD provides an update to the Board of Directors related to sustainability-related progress made on Metro projects that are in compliance with and following a Sustainability Plan. Many of those projects are Design/Build projects. The progress is based on calendar year, January – December. The type of data that would be requested from the contractor may change from year to year, but with adequate Sustainability Plan Monthly Updates, sufficient tracking and recordkeeping of project design and construction activities, the contractor should be able to summarize the information. This information that would be requested should only be a matter of pulling the information together at the end of the year. If a project begins mid-year, then the data provided is for the months that the sustainability process was underway.

Per the Sustainability Plan specification, 01 35 63, each year, the Contractor shall submit this data that is requested by Metro. Since all projects will be in different stages of design and construction, some of the requested data may not be possible to obtain. For example, in 2016, it was requested that data on the lbs of waste diverted from the construction site be summarized for the annual year. Those projects that had not yet begun construction, could not complete that request for data and therefore did not complete that section.

The Contractor is responsible via their SUSTAINABILITY DESIGNEE, to submit ALL OF THE REQUIRED FORMS AND DOCUMENTATION for the previous month.


4.1 Calculating the Life-Cycle Costs

The Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is a critical component of any project that qualifies as “Sustainable.” It is important that all aspects of the life of equipment, materials used, and durability evaluated, particularly when considering that Metro’s greater Los Angeles area program, and Measure M, will be only completed once. Some of a project’s components designed and constructed are expected to last 100 years.

Thus, completing a life-cycle costs analysis has been made a mandatory requirement in the Sustainability Plan specification, Technical Requirement, and Section 2.0 Environmental MRDC.

cost effective oPtionsPerforming a LCCA gives the total cost of a system or piece of equipment, including all expenses incurred over its life. This analysis can be applied when comparing systems and/or equipment to determine the most cost effective options. There are two reasons to do an LCCA:

> To compare different systems.

> To determine the most cost-effective system or piece of equipment.

For some systems, one of two situations may exist:

> The initial cost may be high but the lifetime energy costs will be low.

> The initial cost to buy a system or a piece of equipment and the energy or the maintenance costs may be low, but the useful life may be short.

In the latter case, we may have to replace the appliance several times to get the same useful life as the other option. Therefore, a LCCA can be helpful for comparing the total costs incurred over the lifetime of a system or a piece of equipment. It is, in essence, calculating all the costs incurred to buy, maintain, and run the system over its lifetime.

All costs associated with acquiring, operating, maintaining, and disposing of a building, building systems and/or equipment are to be determined.

These costs usually fall into the following categories:

> Initial Costs – Purchases, Acquisition, Construction Costs

> Replacement (Repl) Costs> Residual Values – Resale or Salvage Values or Disposal

Costs> Fuel Costs> Operation, Maintenance, and Repair (OM&R) Costs> Finance Charges – Loan Interest Payments> Non-Monetary Benefits or Costs> Other (O) Costs

The formula to use includes individually identifying each cost by year and amount and discount using the Net Present Value Method; the sum of present values (PV) for each category is the Life Cycle Cost (LCC). This analysis shall be performed for each proposed alternative:

LCC = I + Repl – Res + E + W + OM&R + O

Where:

LCC = Total LCC in present-value (PV) dollars of a given alternative

I = Initial Cost

Repl = PV capital replacement costs

Res = PV residual value (resale value, salvage value) less disposal costs

E = PV of energy costs

W = PV of water costs

OM&R = PV of non-fuel operating, maintenance and repair costs

O = PV of other costs (e.g., contract administration costs, financing costs, employee salaries and benefits, etc.)

The LCCA calculation is to be provided in an Excel document, clearly depicting at minimum the calculation inputs, discount rates, and Net Present Value Method. Any assumption made in the calculation shall be explicitly disclosed and supported with reasoning behind said assumption.

4 SUSTAINABILITY PLAN SPECIFIC COMPONENTS

Completing a LIFE-CYCLE COSTS ANALYSIS has been made a MANDATORY REQUIREMENT in the Sustainability Plan specification.



4.2 LEED and CALGreenThere are times when projects will require both CALGreen and LEED requirements. It is noted that LEED for Metro projects is only required when there is a building greater than 10,000 SF. This policy, adopted by Metro in June 2007, is titled the Metro Sustainability and Energy Policy.

Relevant tables in Appendix highlight areas where there may be some overlap between CALGreen and LEED. The table serves as a reference guide and may need to be modified based on the project, the project scope of work, and the type of building. To streamline the process and the efforts of the Consulting firm and/or the Contractor, depending on the contract structure, this table can be used for determining what to submit for the Sustainability Plan Monthly Submittal and how that same information can be used for LEED documentation.

In 2017, USGBC announced significant streamlining for all LEED prerequisites and some credits for California projects that are pursuing certification under LEED Version 4 (v4). New projects built to California’s robust energy and green building codes are pre-approved for significant streamlining of fundamental LEED requirements. The 2016 CALGreen (as amended in 2017) indicates that, if LEED (v4) is used, many of the CALGreen requirements are automatically approved. However, this LEED information must still be submitted during the Sustainability Plan Monthly Submittal process for verification by Metro. See the USGBC website for instructions on how to earn specific LEED prerequisites and credits by submitting the CALGreen checklist

Beginning in July 2017, USGBC substantially expanded streamlining the LEED v4 Building Design and Construction (BD+C) credits and prerequisites on projects built to California’s building codes. Now, projects built to these 2016 California codes can seek certification through additional streamlining of the LEED v4 Interior Design and Construction (ID+C) and rating system. Additionally, commercial projects pursuing points toward certification using the Optimize Energy Performance credit can now benefit from an update that reduces the need to run additional energy models if the project is building to, or exceeding, California’s building code. Of course, each project needs to determine what is best.

4.3 CommissioningSince its inception in 2010, CALGreen has required some sort of Commissioning (Cx) and/or testing and adjusting for all projects that have energy consuming systems or equipment. The key objective is to verify that energy consuming equipment for a project is installed and operates at the designed efficiency rating to minimize energy consumption. The Commissioning process occurs during both the design and construction phases of a project and requires the cooperation of the owner (Metro), the design team, and the construction team. If full commissioning occurs, it requires verification by an independent third party, known as the Cx Authority or Cx Agent (CxA), which oversees the Cx process and produces most of the Cx documents.

Commissioning follows two separate paths:

> If a new facility or project contains less than 10,000 SF of conditioned space, CALGreen requires “Testing and Adjusting.”

> If a new facility or project contains greater than or equal to 10,000 SF, CALGreen requires “Full Cx.”

To determine the Commissioning requirements, the square footage of conditioned space (the area where either heating or cooling occurs) needs to be defined. This area is not cumulative for a multi-building or facility project, but instead specific to the space in each building or facility. For example, if only office space of 1,000 SF is conditioned in a 15,000 SF warehouse, then it is classified as less than 10,000 SF of conditioned space. However, if the entire warehouse is conditioned from an air conditioning system, then the classification is equal to or greater than 10,000 SF of conditioned space and Full Cx is required. Alternatively, if there are different conditioned spaces within a single building or facility and they cumulatively amount to at least 10,000 SF, then Full Cx is also required.

The requirements for less than 10,000 SF of conditioned space is presented in Table 2 on the next page.

PLANNING AND DESIGN: ON-SITE RENEWABLE ENERGY continued

methodology for renewable energy screening :For energy screening, Chapter 6 and Appendix E: Renewable Energy Screening Tool (REST) of Metro’s Energy Conservation and Management Plan1 shall be utilized. Chapter 6 and Appendix E provide details for assessment and list resources to be used. REST provides six categories that should be evaluated across one or more metrics that indicate how each project would perform relative to baseline utility electricity (for renewable electricity project) or natural gas (for solar water heating projects that displace natural gas).

The outcomes (e.g., cost savings or emissions reductions) for each screening factor are assigned point values to make the results comparable across each of the categories. The number of points assigned to each outcome reflects the system’s performance relative to a chosen maximum and minimum performance level.

Finally, a weighting was applied to each category’s score based on the assumed importance of that category. The starting category weights are based on the collected experience of large renewable project hosts such as Metro. Metro can adjust these values to reflect its current and future renewable program priorities. A renewable project’s weighted scores for each category are added, giving a final total score. The total score provides a measure of the project’s performance relative to an assumed maximum. An example REST summary for a renewable project is provided below. Appendix E2 shows how the Excel evaluation tool developed to support this screening process, REST, allows the user to compare the system performance metrics and weighted scores for up to 4 potential renewable energy projects side-by-side simultaneously.

Once a renewable energy technology is selected, it shall be compared with baseline energy supply for life-cycle benefits and costs to determine whether to proceed with the renewable energy technology for the project. Metro will use green power when/where available and priced competitively with other energy sources.
