Steven,


It was great catching up today and look forward to getting together for
lunch soon. As we discussed, below are a few questions I was hoping you
could assist in answering. Don’t go out of your way if they are going to be
too much trouble in finding the answers for. Thanks again and I’ll be sure
to put you in touch with Beau.


Best,


Hunter


1) How will Amtrak interact with states on ARRA projects that directly
involve Amtrak? Will individual states handle the relationship differently?

2) What is the status / timeline for Amtrak selecting a Super General
Consulting Engineer for HSR? Will the arrangement be similar to existing PMO
contracts? Will firms who already have similar contracts be excluded from
bidding?

3) Does Amtrak see a need for a partner to assist with Amtrak capital
as well as implementing HSR national?

4) How is stimulus delivery coming along? Would Amtrak consider hiring
an outside firm to expedite the process
