The report investigates various contractual as well as technical issues involved in the procurement of electric multiple-unit (EMU) self-propelled rapid transit (heavy rail) cars. The purpose was to identify factors which contribute to the high cost of rail cars, to develop alternatives in order to reduce these costs, and to formulate basic contract specifications for future rail car purchases. The Task Force obtained relevant cost-containment data and related comments from 28 firms (car-builders, consultants, and subcontractors). This information was summarized on data forms and verified in follow-up interview meetings with selected firms. The Final Report highlights those areas holding the greatest promise for rail car cost-containment in future procurements.
