NOTE:

Provision is made for a 15% contingency in addition to the forecasted
estimate. The contingency amount is $467.0M derived by taking 15% of
the unexpended portion of the system cost forecast.

The contingency is

not funded, but will be obtained from escalation of the Federal Highway
Funded programs applicable to Metro.

[Calculation = .15 (forecast-expenditures) = .15 ($4,650.7 - $1,537.5) = $467.0]

Question 9. Supply a copy of the maintenance agreement with Rohr.

There is no maintenance agreement with Rohr Industries for the rail transit cars they are manufacturing for the Authority. The Authority is furnishing its own maintenance on the transit vehicle delivered and accepted by the Authority. There is a guaranty on the vehicle and its parts and if during the maintenance of these vehicles, parts which are under guaranty have to be replaced, the part is furnished to the Authority in accordance with the guaranty provisions of the contract.

The Authority believes it more economical and advantageous in the long-run of maintaining its own force in servicing and repair

of the transit vehicles rather than contracting it out to the supplier.
