9. Capital Improvement Plan History
October Metro Matters($2.7 Billion for FY05 -FY10)
- Fully funded “MUST-DO”
Partially funded “NEED-TO-DO”
No funding for “SHOULD-DO”
January COG Blue Ribbon Panel (FY05- FY 15)
- Capital Needs: $800 Million per year
Capital Revenue: $500 Million per year
Shortfall: $300 Million per year

10. State of Good Repair – Going Forward
• The Metro Matters agreement established an average level of capital spending of about $500 million annually
• Going forward, a greater need exists just to keep the system in a State- of-Good Repair
• The increased need is due to the following:
- For the first time, Metro is faced with the replacement of a series of railcars.
Employee facilities include:
Bus Bathrooms
Driver waiting areas
Locker rooms
- Many assets have a 30-year life cycle.
- New or modified capital programs are included, i.e. IT, Metro Access, Employee Facilities.

17. Current Practice Multiple rehab contracts; multiple contractors
Track rights conflicts between contractors and with WMATA Maintenance
Week-night non-revenue work window 2-1/2 hours maximum
Low productivity
Contract delays
Higher cost

18. New Practice Track Rights Divide the system into segments
Start with oldest sections first
Single tracking during week and limited weekends
Work in same areas as WMATA Maintenance
Award one contract to perform all rehabilitation work in one segment of the system

19. Procurement and Financial
New Practice
Procurement and Financial
Award one contract to perform all rehabilitation work in one segment of the system.
Reduced Procurement Effort
Reduced Project Management
Minimizes Conflicts and Delays

21. New Approach: Bus Facilities and Rail Yards
Current Practice Bus Facilities and Rail Yard Contracts:
Multiple Contracts for various equipment and facility renovations
Revised Bus Facilities and Rail Yard Contracts:
Start with oldest first
Separate Contracts for Rail Yards and Bus Facilities
Rail Yards would be divided into 3 contracts as follows:
Brentwood, New Carrollton and Alexandria
West Falls Church, Greenbelt, Shady Grove
Branch Avenue, Glenmont and Largo Tail Tracks
Bus Facilities would be divided into 3 contracts as follows:
Western, Southern and Northern
Landover and Montgomery
Bladensburg and Four Mile Run

22. What is State of Good Repair?
•“‘State of Good Repair” is achieved when the infrastructure components are replaced on a schedule consistent with their life expectancy
• For example: Useful life of a bus is 15 years. In order to sustain a replacement of the fleet on an annual, prescribed, basis 1/15 of the fleet is replaced each year. Annual replacement will grow as fleet grows. –
