GENERAL MANAGER'S QUARTERLY REPORT OF CONTRACT STATUS,
JUNE 30, 1967
Considerable progress has been made under our several contracts
and a detailed review is timely. Our contractural obligations total
$962,566 of which $616,709 (64%) represents the federal portion and
$345,857 represents the local matching funds. The status of work shown
is as of May 31, 1967:
Ie
The "701" Contracts signed June 28, 1966 total $183,566 of which
the federal portion is $122,376. The local portion of Transit
Authority funds is $61,189, all of which has been paid to the
ARMPC who is administering the work for us. These projects are to
update the 1962 report in its entirety. The updated revisions
will appear as a technical version and a popular version of a
bound report similar in format to the 1962 reports. The work is
in three parts.
A. Hammer, Greene, Siler Associates has a $48,000 contract to up-
date the financing aspects which is 90% complete. It covers:
1. Methods of financing.
2. Sources of financing.
3. Derivation of formula for sharing the financial load
between the several political jurisdictions.
4. Assistance to local governments to evaluate their
financial ability.
5. Preparation of a financial plan in line with the above.
II.
B. PBTB has a $100,000 contract to update the other parts of the
1962 report which is about 85% complete. It covers:
1. Route and station locations (100% complete).
2. Patronage, revenues and operating cost predictions
(90% complete).
3. Report preparation (50% complete).
C. ARMPC will use the remaining $35,566 for administration and
supervision of the HGS and PB-T-B contracts, its own staff's
work and auditing and overhead chargeable to the entire
updating project.
Each of these units of work provides inputs to the others so they
will continue to move ahead on a common front and should be wrapped
up this summer. The contractural completion date was May 2, 1967.
The work was considerably delayed by the late development of
travel statistics by the Highway Department and the completion date
will not be met. The necessary statistics are now in hand and the
work is moving ahead at a good pace. Our total project will not
be damaged by the delay.
The "702" Contract signed June 28, 1966 is for $125,000 with PB-T-B
to carry out preliminary engineering work on the system from Ogle-
thorpe to the Airport. This is an interest-free federal loan that
must be repaid when construction begins. No local funds are in-
volved. The preliminary engineering work will be in sufficient
detail to enable us to initiate right of way acquisition, to pro-
vide us with highly refined estimates of construction costs, and
to provide us with a solid point of departure for the development
of final, detailed design and the preparation of contract plans
and specifications. Funds are requisitioned from HUD in the exact
amount required when we are invoiced. Two $30,000 requisitions
and payments have been made. The contract is 62% complete. It

have decided to integrate this work with the work being done under
the technical studies grant (below). As a result, all of the
preliminary engineering for the 44-mile system - Doraville-Forest
Park and west from Hightower Road to I-285 and east from Avondale
Estates to I-285 - is being done simultaneously, aimed at a com-
pletion date of April 30, 1968.

TIT.
The Technical Studies Grant (Section 9) Contracts are for a total
of $554,000 of which the federal portion is $369,333, and the
local portion is $184,667. Federal funds are requisitioned
quarterly in advance at a rate indicated by progress of the work
and the terms of the contracts. $67,686.12 has been requisition—
ed and received. One $12,000 payment has been made to ARMPC for
the Impact Study. I expect a bill from PBTB this month.
The work is divided into three parts:
A. PB-T-B has a contract signed February 2, 1967 for $500,000
which is 18% complete and covers:
1. System Extension Planning (35% complete):
(a) East Line — Avondale Estates to I-285.
(b) West Line - Hightower Road to I-285.
2. Preliminary Design of typical and of selected special
structures (20% complete):
(a) Structures.
(b) Stations.
(c) Equipment.
3. Preliminary Engineering Plans (30% complete):
(a) Base maps.
(b) Alignment of tracks,
(c) Station sites.
4. Cost Estimates (14% complete):
(a) Construction,
(b) Right of way.
5. Public Hearings and Reports (not started).
B. ARMPC has a contract signed March 10, 1967 for $49,000 to
make a Caxrridor Impact Study. $9,000 covers the supervision
and overhead they will provide to the subcontracts, Eric Hill
Associates, who will do most of the work of assessing the im-—
—
IVs
pact of our proposed rapid transit system on the community.
We will receive recommendations for changes in community
plans or rapid transit plans in the event that adverse impact
or missed opportunities are discovered. The job is 35% com-—
plete.
The work will check on our relationships to:
1. and use and related controls.
2. Public improvements planning.
3. Urban design.
4, Local development plans.
5. Urban renewal projects.
6. Private development plans.
7. Benefit to disadvantaged groups.
8. Other public programs.
Our impact on the Atlanta Transit will be substantial and
$5,000 has been reserved to start studies in this field.
More money will be sought in future applications. I am
in touch with ATS officials to determine the character of
necessary study and plans.
The Retainer Agreement is a contract with PB-T-B for planning,
consultant, or engineering services not covered by existing
contracts. Each item of work is authorized and budgeted by
the Board. PB-T-~B cannot initiate any work under this con-
tract that will cause total charges under the contract to ex-
ceed $100,000.
Its condition as of June 30, 1967 is as follows:
