Subject: Official Information request - Request for Contractor Engagement
information for "Advanced Bus Solution" report

 

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency, In January 2017, the NZTA published the
"Advanced Bus Solution" report
([8]http://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=2838&am...

 

This report examines rapid transit options between the Auckland CBD and
the Airport. In March 2017, the NZTA announced that: "Both boards have
agreed that there will be a staged, integrated transition from bus to
light rail transit from the Airport to the city centre, based on future
demand and capacity, and to commence route protection for this important
gateway corridor between two of Auckland’s key growing employment areas."

 

([9]http://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=2838&am...)

 

The key role of the Advanced Bus Solution had in the above decision is
noted in this press release. I previously requested for the information
that supports the recommendations in the Advanced Bus Solution report and
the NZTA refused to provide it on the ground that it does not hold this
information
([10]http://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=2838&am...

 

I am interested in how the NZTA engaged the consultants for the Advanced
Bus Solution that made the recommendation behind this major decision on
the future of Auckland Transport.

 

1) Can I please have a copy of the Terms of Reference or equivalent that
was approved for the Advanced Bus Solution Study and Report ?

 

2) Can I please have a copy of the tender documents or equivalent that
were issued in order to engage the consultants for the Advanced Bus
Solution Study and Report ?

 

3) Can I please have a copy of the contract signed to engage the
consultants for the Advanced Bus Solution Study and Report ?

 

4) Can I please have a copy of the NZTA meeting agenda's and minutes
(including any supporting presentations and/or reports) between NZTA and
the consultants for the Advanced Bus Solution Study and Report ?

 

5) Can I please have a copy of the NZTA meeting agenda's and minutes that
accepted the final version of Advanced Bus Solution Study and Report ?

 

6) Can I please have a copy of the NZTA Board meeting agenda's and minutes
(including any supporitng presentation and/or reports) that where the
decision to support "a staged, integrated transition from bus to light
rail transit from the Airport to the city centre" was made ?

 

I would prefer the information was provided in its complete and original
format. I would also prefer that all correspondence on this OIA request be
via the FYI web site. Finally, can the NZTA please acknowledge this OIA
request ? Yours faithfully, Tony Randle
