Report of Independent Accountants on Applying Agreed-upon Procedures Mr. James Preusch Chief Financial Officer Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority Long Beach, CA 90806 We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA), solely to assist ACTA in evaluating AECOM Technical Services, Inc. s (AECOM) (formerly DMJM+Harris, Inc.) (a joint venture partner of the Alameda Corridor Engineering Team ACET) compliance with the requirements of the First Amended Agreement No. 27 (the Contract) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. AECOM s management is responsible for AECOM s compliance with those requirements. This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those specified parties in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. Our procedures and findings are as follows: a) Procedures We tested 25% of the direct labor costs billed by AECOM to ACTA for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 by performing the following procedures: Agreed labor hours billed to duly approved timesheets. Agreed labor rates billed to rates authorized per Contract. Agreed labor rates billed to actual labor rates per payroll registers. Recalculated mathematical accuracy of extensions and footings. Results No exceptions noted. b) Procedures We compared the provisional indirect expense billing rates used for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 with the audited home office indirect expense rates for the twelve-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and October 3, 2014. We calculated the over- or underbilling of indirect expenses for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
Results As shown on Schedule I, the audited indirect expense rates were determined to be lower than the provisional indirect expense rate used for billing purposes. AECOM s home office indirect expense rates for the twelve-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and October 3, 2014 were audited by Cleary & Gill, LLC. AECOM s audited home office indirect expense rates vis-à-vis provisional rates for the twelve-month periods ended September 27, 2013 and October 3, 2014 were as follows: Fiscal Year Final Rate Provisional Rate September 27, 2013 147.56% 153.40% October 3, 2014 149.10% 153.40% Based on the above, AECOM overbilled ACTA $9,290, as summarized in Schedule I. We were not engaged to and did not perform an examination, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the audit committee and management of ACTA, AECOM and ACET and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Report of Independent Accountants On Applying Agreed-upon Procedures Mr. James P. Preusch Chief Financial Officer Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority Long Beach, CA 90806 We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA), solely to assist ACTA in evaluating Jenkins/Gales & Martinez, Inc. s (JGM), a joint venture partner of the Alameda Corridor Engineering Team (ACET), compliance with the requirements of the First Amended Agreement No. 27 ( Contract ) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 31 for the year ended December 31, 2014. JGM s management is responsible for JGM's compliance with those requirements. This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those specified parties in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. Our procedures and findings are as follows: 1. Procedures We tested 20% of the direct labor costs billed by JGM to ACTA for the year 2014 by performing the following procedures: Agreed labor hours billed to timesheets. Agreed labor rates billed to rates authorized under the Contract. Agreed labor rates billed to actual labor rates per payroll registers. Verified mathematical accuracy of extensions and footings. Results No exception noted. 2. Procedures We tested the indirect expenses billed by JGM to ACTA for the year 2014 by performing the following procedures: Obtained the Statement of Direct Labor, Fringe Benefits and General Overhead report for the year ended December 31, 2014 issued by the independent auditor, Rossi LLP, to determine whether the audit was performed to comply with the 1
provisions of the applicable sections of the Federal Acquisitions Regulation (FAR) part 31. Compared the expense accounts reported in the Statement of Direct Labor, Fringe Benefits and General Overhead for the year ended December 31, 2014 issued by the independent auditor, Rossi LLP, with JGM s general ledger. Recalculated the indirect expense rate reported in the overhead rate audit report above and compared it with the provisional rate of 175% used by JGM in billing ACTA and as agreed with ACTA and ACET. Results a. The schedules supporting the indirect expense rate calculation were based on the results of the audit of JGM s Statement of Direct Labor, Fringe Benefits and General Overhead for the year ended December 31, 2014 performed by another auditor, Rossi LLP, whose report dated September 8, 2016 expressed an unmodified opinion on the statement. The audit was performed based on JGM s compliance with Part 31 of the FAR cost principles. The expenses reported in the audit report agreed with JGM s general ledger balances for the year ended December 31, 2014. b. JGM s audited overhead rate for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 134% which is lower than the 175% overhead rate used to bill ACTA. This resulted to an over-billing of 41% or $50,238 (see Schedule I). Based on finding 2(b) above, JGM over-billed ACTA $50,238 during the year ended December 31, 2014. We were not engaged to, and did not conduct an examination, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on compliance with the requirements of the Contract and FAR Part 31. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

21250 Hawthorne Blvd. Suite 150 Telephone: 310.792.4640 Torrance, CA 90503 Facsimile: 310.792.4331 www.bcawatsonrice.com INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT S REPORT ON APPLYING AGREED-UPON PROCEDURES We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA), solely to assist ACTA in determining whether the costs billed by Moffatt & Nichol Engineers (M&N), a member of the Alameda Corridor Engineering Team (ACET), for the period December 29, 2013 through December 27, 2014 were adequately supported and allowable per the terms of the First Amended Agreement Number 27. The management of M&N is responsible for the costs billed. This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. Our procedures and results are as follows: 1. We examined the billings and identified the amounts billed for direct labor costs. Results: We identified total direct labor costs of $251,301.10 for the following four projects: Base, SR-47, R-10, and PCH. 2. We selected at least 20% of the direct labor costs billed by M&N for testing. Results: We judgmentally selected invoices from each project for a total of nine invoices totaling $63,456.12 or 25% of the total invoiced direct labor costs of $251,301. 3. For our sample of direct labor costs, we agreed direct labor hours billed to timesheets. Results: The direct labor hours billed was adequately supported by timesheets, except for the four (4) employees listed below. According to ACTA s representative, these employees worked out of the home office and therefore are not required to complete a timesheet. Instead, signed certified labor reports were provided as support for those labor hours and were accepted by ACTA.
Project Payment Request No. Employee Name Hours Base 244 Chan, Dick 1.00 Base 244 Economides, Demetre 96.00 Base 247 Kenagy, Duane 32.00 Base 247 Patel, Suhash 6.00 4. For our sample of direct labor costs, we agreed direct labor rates billed to rates authorized per the Contract. Results: The direct labor rates billed agreed to the rates authorized in the Contract. No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures. 5. For our sample of direct labor costs, we agreed direct labor rates billed to actual direct labor rates per M&N s payroll registers. Results: The direct labor rates billed were adequately supported by M&N payroll registers. No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures. 6. We verified the mathematical accuracy of the sampled invoices. Results: No mathematical exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures. 7. We verified whether the overhead rate was audited and in accordance with FAR Part 31.2. Results: Based on our examination of M&N s overhead rate report performed by an independent CPA for the year ended December 27, 2014, the audited overhead rate of 182.14% was performed in accordance with FAR Part 31.2. No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures. 8. We examined the billings and identified the amounts billed for Other Direct Costs. Results: Based on our examination of the invoices, M&N invoiced $21.44 to ACET for Other Direct Costs. However, ACET only billed $13.44 of mileage cost to ACTA. ACET did not bill the unsupported Weller Court fee of $8 to ACTA. 9. We selected at least 50% of the Other Direct Costs billed by M&N for testing. Results: We selected 100% of the $13.44 billed to ACTA for testing. 2
10. We agreed the amount billed to supporting documentation and verified allowability per Contract provisions and FAR Subpart 31.2. Results: The mileage cost of $13.44 billed to ACTA agreed to supporting documentation and is allowable per Contract provision and FAR Subpart 31.2. No exceptions were noted as a result of our procedures. 11. We calculated the total amount of over or under billing by M&N. Results: We found that M&N s actual audited overhead rate for the year ended December 27, 2014 was 182.14%, which is lower than M&N s billed overhead rate to ACTA of 194.79%. The lower actual overhead rate has resulted in an overbilling of costs by M&N totaling $31,789.63 for the period December 29, 2013 through December 27, 2014. (See attached Schedule A for a Summary Schedule of the Overbilling by Project). We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on the costs billed. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc. (BBII) (A Contractor of the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority) Agreed-Upon Procedures Report BBII s Contract Costs Under Agreement Number C0782 For the year ended December 31, 2015
Report of Independent Accountants On Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures Mr. James Preusch Chief Financial Officer Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority Long Beach, CA 90806 We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA), solely to assist ACTA in evaluating Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc. s (BBII) compliance with the requirements of the Maintenance Agreement (Rail and Non-Rail Components) dated as of April 15, 2007 - Contract C0782 (Contract) for the year ended December 31, 2015. BBII management is responsible for BBII s compliance with those requirements. This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those specified parties in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. Our procedures and findings are as follows: 1. Procedure Compared total amount billed by BBII from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 with the amount authorized by ACTA in the approved maintenance plan for that period. Findings BBII did not exceed the total approved maintenance budget for year 2015, however, billed costs under ACTA Operating (AEI) category exceeded the budget by $5,737, as shown in the table below. The budgeted contingency fund of $200,000 was not utilized in 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2015 Authorized Balance Category Budget Billed (Excess) Rail (M & O) $ 3,026,628 $ 2,799,719 $ 226,909 Non-Rail 812,616 690,185 122,431 Capital 2,271,642 1,127,420 1,144,222 AEI 189,832 195,569 (5,737) Total $ 6,300,718 $ 4,812,893 $ 1,487,825 Contingency Fund $ 200,000 $ - $ 200,000 Approved Extra Work $ - $ 78,498 $ - 1
2. Procedures We tested approximately 35% of direct labor billed under the Contract for year 2015 by applying the following procedures. Agreed labor hours billed to BBII payroll documents, which consisted of official timesheets submitted by BBII to ACTA, and payroll reports. Agreed labor rates used for billing to rates authorized in the approved maintenance plan. Ascertained that labor hours billed for salaried employees did not exceed 40 hours per week. Mathematically recalculated the summarizations of the labor costs. Verified the supervisors approval on employee timesheets. Extrapolated errors noted to the entire population of invoices. Findings Out of 10,614 hours tested, we noted 2 labor hours of track laborers that were unsupported. As a result, invoice is overstated by $90 on non-rail cost. Extrapolating the error to the entire population of labor billings resulted in projected overbilling of $208 on non-rail cost. Total amount tested was $675,454. 3. Procedures We tested approximately 20% of Other Direct Costs billed under the Contract for the year 2015 by applying the following procedures. Compared the billed expenses with the expenses authorized in the approved maintenance plan. Inspected prior ACTA approval of any subcontractor cost in excess of $25,000. For expenses billed based on actual costs, agreed amounts billed to invoices and other supporting documentation. In addition, mark-up rate used were agreed to that authorized in the approved budget. For those billed based on agreed-upon standard rates, agreed rates used to the approved budget and verified that no mark-up was added. For expenses supported by invoices dated prior to the month of the billing period, verified prior months billings to determine if it was previously billed. Compared other direct costs with budgeted categories to determine its proper allocation. Verified supervisor or program manager s approval on invoices. Mathematically recalculated the summarizations of other direct costs. Findings Procedures performed without exception. Total amount tested for other direct costs was $975,424. 4. Procedures We tested approximately 20% of extra work billed under the Contract in the year 2015 by applying the following procedures: Agreed the extra work performed to an approved task order. Compared total amounts billed for each task order to the amount authorized in the respective task orders. Agreed the amounts billed to invoices and other supporting documentation. 2
For extra work supported by invoices dated prior to the month of the billing period, verified prior months billings to determine if it was previously billed. Mathematically recalculated the summarizations of the extra work billed. Findings Procedures performed without exception. Total amount tested for extra work was $30,019. 5. Procedures We reviewed the contractor s billing process as it relates to ACTA projects by applying the following procedures: Made expanded inquiries with BBII personnel about the processes, documents and personnel involved in billing ACTA. Documented the result of inquiries. Tested the same test population mentioned at procedures 2, 3 and 4 above and determined whether the key controls are working and effective. Determined whether any improvements are necessary for the billing process. Identified areas posing significant risk in billing ACTA. Findings (a) We noted that BBII uses a manual approach in accumulating and transferring employee time charges to the timesheets, spreadsheets and to the invoices submitted to ACTA. The same manual procedure is also performed in preparing and reviewing invoices for other direct costs and extra work. This manual process required intensive data entry and is susceptible to error.. In our audit for the previous 3 years, test of invoices disclosed processing errors detailed below: 2014 2013 2012 Audit Area Error Rate Net Amount Error Rate Net Amount Error Rate Amount Labor costs 2.05% $ 454 1.22% $ 3,282 2.27% $ 5,056 Other direct costs 0.23% 1,475 0.76% 3,164 0.33% 1,177 Extra work 0.00% - 0.70% 575 0.02% 130 We suggest that BBII automate the invoice preparation from beginning to end. The automated process shall eliminate significant amount of data entry, make operations more efficient and provide more accurate billing reports as bases for business decisions. The automated process shall also allow the automated detection of duplicate vendor invoices. BBII may design the system internally or consider hiring a consultant for this service. (b) The result of the other procedures was communicated to ACTA in our Audit Risk Assessment Memorandum dated May 20, 2016. See attachment 1. 3
Summary Based on results of the procedures performed over the test populations noted above (findings 2), BBII has overbilled ACTA in 2015 by $208 in non-rail cost. * * * * * * * We were not engaged to, and did not conduct an examination, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on compliance. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the audit committee and management of ACTA and BBII and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. The results of our agreed-upon procedures were discussed with BBII and Mr. James Preusch, Chief Financial Officer of the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority.
