Peninsula Corridor Electrification ProjectMonthly Progress Report1.0BACKGROUNDOver the last decade, Caltrain has experienced a substantial increase in ridership andanticipates further increases in ridership demand as the San Francisco Bay Area’spopulation grows. The Caltrain Modernization (CalMod) Program, scheduled to beimplemented by 2022, will electrify and upgrade the performance, operating efficiency,capacity, safety, and reliability of Caltrain’s commuter rail service.The PCEP is a key component of the CalMod Program and consists of convertingCaltrain from diesel-hauled to Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) trains for service between theSan Francisco Station (at the intersection of Fourth and King Streets in San Francisco)and the Tamien Station in San Jose. Caltrain will continue Gilroy service and supportexisting tenants.An electrified Caltrain will better address Peninsula commuters’ vision of environmentallyfriendly, fast and reliable service. Electrification will modernize Caltrain and make itpossible to increase service while offering several advantages in comparison withexisting diesel power use, including: Improved Train Performance, Increased Ridership Capacity and IncreasedService: Electrified trains can accelerate and decelerate more quickly than dieselpowered trains, allowing Caltrain to run more efficiently. In addition, because oftheir performance advantages, electrified trains will enable more frequent and/orfaster train service to more riders. Increased Revenue and Reduced Fuel Cost: An electrified Caltrain will increaseridership and fare revenues while decreasing fuel costs. Reduced Engine Noise Emanating from Trains: Noise from electrified trainengines is measurably less than noise from diesel train engines. Train horns willcontinue to be required at grade crossings, adhering to current safety regulations. Improved Regional Air Quality and Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions:Electrified trains will produce substantially less corridor air pollution compared withdiesel trains even when the indirect emissions from electrical power generation areincluded. Increased ridership will reduce automobile usage, resulting in additionalair quality benefits. In addition, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions willimprove our regional air quality, and will also help meet the state’s emissionreduction goals.Background1-1March 31, 2021

Peninsula Corridor Electrification ProjectMonthly Progress Report2.0EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThe Monthly Progress Report is intended to provide an overview of the PCEP andprovide funding partners, stakeholders, and the public an overall update on the progressof the project. This document provides information on the scope, cost, funding, schedule,and project implementation. Work along the Caltrain Electrification Corridor has beendivided into four work segments and respective work areas (WA) as shown in Figure 2-1.PCEP activities are described and summarized by segments and work areas.Figure 2-1 PCEP Work SegmentsExecutive Summary2-1March 31, 2021
Peninsula Corridor Electrification ProjectMonthly Progress ReportAnother successful signal cutover was completed at Control Point Franklin to Stockton.Installation of Overhead Catenary System (OCS) foundations began at the CentralizedEquipment Maintenance and Operations Facility (CEMOF) in March. The crewsinstalled a total of 92 foundations this month in Segment 2, between San Mateo andSouth San Francisco, and at CEMOF.Dynamic testing began on Train 1 in Pueblo, CO. Final inspections were conducted onTrain 2, and production continued on Trainsets 3-12. The ongoing Coronavirus Disease2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has further delayed Stadler’s expected delivery of theEMUs. Delivery of the first trainset has been delayed from June to November 2021.Manufacturing of car shells and truck frames is still on schedule, and to date, 74 havebeen shipped to Salt Lake City, 19 of which are still in transit.2.1.Monthly DashboardsDashboard progress charts are included below to summarize construction progress.Figure 2-2 Expenditure – Planned vs. ActualExecutive Summary2-2March 31, 2021

PCEP’s own projection ofBBII’s productivity estimates the completion date to be in September, reflected in Figure 2-5. The monthly forecast is revised at theend of ongoing OCS foundation workshops, which are held to determine the level of effort necessary for each of the activities priorto foundation installation. The delay to the OCS foundation completion date does not change the substantial completion date of theBBII contract.Figure 2-6 Contractor Completion ScheduleExecutive Summary2-4March 31, 2021
Peninsula Corridor Electrification ProjectMonthly Progress Report2.2.Funding Partners Participation in PCEPThe PCEP has a series of weekly, biweekly, monthly and quarterly meetings tocoordinate all aspects of the program. The meetings are attended by project staff withparticipation by our funding partners in accordance with the Funding Partners OversightProtocol. A summary of funding partner meetings and invitees can be found inAppendix B.This section of the report provides a summary of the discussions and decisions made atthe meetings and a list of funding partners who attended the meetings.Electrification – Weekly Discipline-Specific MeetingsPurpose: To replace the previous weekly Engineering Meeting with three disciplinespecific meetings for the three major categories of work under the Electrification DesignBuild (DB) contract: Overhead Contact System (OCS) Foundation, Traction PowerFacilities (TPF), and Signals. Each meeting will focus on the status, resolution andtracking of Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc. (BBII) and Electrification design- andconstruction-related issues.Activity this MonthOCS Foundation MeetingFunding Partners: None Review of upcoming foundation design and installation schedule Discussion of open issues impacting foundations design and installation Discussion of outstanding Requests for Information (RFI) Review of foundation designs that potentially impact Right of Way (ROW) Review of outstanding Field Orders or Change Notices required for work tocontinueTPF MeetingFunding Partners: None Review of outstanding items as they relate to the design and construction of thePG&E Interconnection Review of PG&E Interconnection schedule Discuss progress and next steps for the Single-Phase Study Discuss outstanding comments on the interconnection agreement Review and resolve open issues on the construction and design of the TPFs(paralleling stations, traction power substations, switching station)Executive Summary2-5March 31, 2021
