46.     YAROSLAVSKY/BURKE MOTION - that the Metro work with the preliminary engineering consultant to immediately convene a peer review panel to assess the design specs and standards for the Expo line.  Metro staff should report back during the January committee cycle on the progress made by the peer review panel and the panel’s recommendations should be presented to the Metro Board and incorporated into the preliminary engineering.

 

We further move that the Metro staff look at the internal structures of other transit properties that have built successful design/build rail lines and report back to the Board on internal changes that can be made to better implement design/build projects in the future.

 

We also move that no new RFPs for consultants or professional services contractors for the Expo line be developed or issued without approval by the Metro Board.

 

 

Consideration of items not on the posted agenda, including: items to be presented and (if requested) referred to staff; items to be placed on the agenda for action at a future meeting of the Committee or Board; and/or items requiring immediate action because of an emergency situation or where the need to take immediate action came to the attention of the Committee subsequent to the posting of the agenda.
