RECOMMENDATION
Title
APRROVE Modification No. 36 to Contract No. P3010 with Kinkisharyo International LLC to reduce the existing 100% performance bond requirements for Contract deliverables to realize a project savings of $4,386,957, decreasing the total Contract value from $926,142,679 to $921,755,722.

Replacing the existing 100% performance bond with a $50 million Irrevocable Letter of Credit (LOC), in combination with existing contractual warranties and securities, provide Metro with an adequate level of financial security to meet the open obligations remaining on the P3010 Contract.

This savings will be applied as a LOP contingency to cover future contract changes for vehicle enhancements.
