Amtrak Cancels Order for additional 40 Acela Express coach cars

Amtrak OIG

Date: December 4, 2012
Subject: Acela Car Purchase: Questioned Costs Identified in Price Proposal (Summary Report No. OIG-A-2013-002)

On February 27, 2012, Amtrak received a price proposal to deliver 40 Acela coach cars. Given the high dollar value and Amtrak’s plan to award a sole-source contract, we initiated a review of the price proposal to determine whether it was based on well-supported and reasonable cost and pricing data.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

The price proposal contained amounts that, in some cases, were not based on well-supported and/or reasonable cost data. As a result, we questioned those costs.

The price proposal included Comments to the General Provisions and to the Supplementary General Provisions. We did not analyze these comments to determine their impact upon the pricing, but observed that the comments suggested modifications to significant terms and conditions in the request for proposal, including the audit provision.

RECOMMENDATIONS

We recommended that Amtrak’s Chief Logistics Officer
  1. use the information in the report to help negotiate a lower contract price, and
  2. retain the audit provision set forth in the request for proposal in the terms and conditions of the final contract.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS AND OIG ANALYSIS

In commenting on a draft of this report, Amtrak’s Chief Logistics Officer agreed with our recommendations. In October 2012, Amtrak decided to forgo purchasing the additional Acela coach cars. As a result, Amtrak has avoided all costs associated with this purchase. Based on this information, a portion of Amtrak’s cost avoidance is attributable to our report.

If Amtrak had the Pentagon's budget, they'd have upgraded the entire system to high speed service and built a new line from Seattle to Anchorage.

If Amtrak just had the $46 billion the Pentagon wasted on failed or cancelled programs in the last 10 years, the Acela would have a dedicated high speed route.

No, Amtrak would not have. (You really think it reasonable to increase Amtrak's budget that high, especially when the "competing" modes don't have anywhere near that annual appropriation? It's more practical to rework the FRA's impractical regulations; I haven't yet seen a railfan who disagrees with that.)

But then again, you're the one that called the POTUS moderate to far-right.

Actually the FHWA's annual expenditure is about $43 billion. Funny how back when the right was selling our profitable rail system down the river for their "defense" highway network, and in the 45 years since, there was no concern over disproportionate spending levels between modes. But now that's your excuse for not increasing Amtrak's funding? Way to show just how anti-rail you really are.

I forgot. Being a right-wing extremist, you lack the ability to understand the intended meaning of non-literal statements such as sarcasm. My apologies; I'll be sure to include literal translations for the conservative/autistic demographic in the future.

As to the claim that Mr. Obama is not conservative, you seem to subscribe to the devout, if fallacious, belief that a claim will suddenly become true if you just repeat it a lot. Best of luck with that.

The 40 additional cars would have been a foolish expenditure. It is a shame that Amtrak's mgmt is so incompetent that it took their I.G. to whack them over the head for them to get it.

Simply put, Acela is at half life. Bombardier would have taken them to the cleaners for these cars, and they all will be scrapped in 15 years since the 40 cars would have been orphaned and totally incompatible with a Tier III/Acela II.

Better investment would have been to invest in 40 Next-Gen Amfleet replacement prototypes, or even Viewliner coaches, to NEC Business Class, and release 40 Business Class Amfleet-1 cars to add capacity to long distance trains to improve their farebox recovery and/or Chicago corridors to put the Horizon cars out of their misery sooner.

I would rather all the high platforms were ripped out back in the 60s and the Northeast had gone with Talgos in earnest. Too bad hindsight is 20/20 though.

If any existing Pendolino class fits US loading gauge, it's the Finnish Sm3.

I see you are attempting to rewrite history again. The 1956 bill passed the House (Democrat controlled) 338 to 19. It was co-authored in the Senate by none other than Albert Gore Sr. which I think is really tremendous. Anyway also Democrat controlled. Also passed. But yet "The Right" is solely responsible. Again typical.

It is a shame that our national priorities were so obfuscated during that era. Sure, STALIN was a nutcase and you don't let the Russians come to dinner without counting the silver afterwards but Eastern Europe was complicit in the Holocaust and many of those countries welcomed and FOUGHT ALONGSIDE the Nazis. As for Germany, its partition was justified and should have been made permanent. China and the Far East is where the US should have drawn an even harder line against Russia than we did. After Stalin died in 1953, there should have been a thaw just because the lunatic was gone.

I find the hatred toward "republicans" on the same delusional insane level as the hatred toward Jews in the middle east and elsewhere. Both use the same cartoonish excuse to blame them on every level, and both actually start to sound exactly the same with only one word substituted.
We now blame the Republicans for falling down the stairs, just as the Arabs in Lebanon do to the Jews.

Unfortunately, the allegedly liberal Obama opposed Medicare for all, so I'm still not covered.

However, if you can find a president who is actually liberal, and who thus actually passes Medicare for all (and allows Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices), then I will happily report on how it works out.

In the not-inconceivably-distant past, both parties were open to a wide range of ideologies; you could actually find a handful of (relatively) liberal Republicans in major offices in decades gone by.

As of fairly recently, though, the Republican party has successfully purged itself of even moderate conservatives (at least on the federal level); the Republican party is now so uniformly crazy and destructive that it's hardly irrational to hate it as such. Sure, one member might focus on misogyny, while another focuses on creationism, while another tries to kill the poor, but every Republican advocates policies fundamentally anathema to the stability of the country and the interests of at least 99% of its inhabitants.

And the idea that hating a fixed group defined by birth (race, national origin, etc) is somehow comparable to hating a fluid group defined by ideology and advocacy, whose membership is strictly voluntary on that basis, is simply ridiculous.

When Ike signed the Interstate Highway bill, the Dixiecrat wing of the Democrats was (no surprise) far to the right of "effete eastern intellectual" Republicans like Rockefeller, Lindsay, and others. In 1960, there was an active "Democrats for Nixon" operation in Virginia because JFK was unacceptable to them. At the same time the single VA Republican Congressman was from the suburbs of DC running to the left of the Byrd machine.. Nixon understood the swing of history and devised/exploited a "southern strategy" which ironicly brought us, Amtrak, EPA, Clean Water Act, ConRail, and getting DOD vendors interested in mass transit as another way of looting the Federal Treasury with overpriced junk. Both the Amtrak and Conrail enabling legislation came from outside RR lawyers as packages which were then shopped to find Congressional sponsors. PS, I voted for Lindsay in 69, but I can't imagine him belonging to the GOP today.

Here you go mixing up Republicans with conservatives again. The GOP nowadays is mostly liberal, with a lot of libertarians, and the conservatives are sidelined.

And the pharmas are no slouch donating to Democratic candidates either. They pile on the dough in that direction.

the Dixiecrat wing of the Democrats was (no surprise) far to the right of "effete eastern intellectual" Republicans like Rockefeller, Lindsay, and others

By what measure were they to the "right"?

Nixon understood the swing of history

No; Nixon was what he was, and implemented what he wanted to implement.

The quote you used was just too specific not to have been intentional. :)

Ah for the days when you could play that, ELO, ELP and martian mind melt music on the radio and not get called down to the program director's office for a WTF? session. :)
