Dear Wellington Regional Council,

The GWRC recently announced the completion of the PTOM bus contracts for the Wellington Region (http://www.gw.govt.nz/brand-new-buses-he...).

I note that a key element of the PTOM approach is the rating and publication of a "League table" which consists of the "Commerciality Ratio" for each contracted unit (Refer page 33 of PTOM update to GWRC Council Workshop http://www.gw.govt.nz/assets/PTOM/9-PDF-...).

1) Can I please have a copy of the estimated "League table" all the PTOM PT "Units" including the commerciality ratio both bus and rail) ?

2) Can I please have a copy of any spreadsheet, report or other information that outlines the calculation of the estimated Commerciality Ratio for all the PT "Units" contracted under PTOM (both bus and rail) ?

The GWRC has also released some information about the PTOM tender process including the Bus Request for Tender (RFT) (http://www.gw.govt.nz/assets/PTOM/A-02.0...). This document outlines a range of information provided to tenderers via the "data room" Refer Section 6.2. The RFT specifically noted the following information was to be provided via the data room:
* Full Bus Unit specifications (PTOM Service Specifications) including timetables
* Bus Unit Timetable information
* the 3 most recent years’ patronage data on the Wellington region Bus Network
* Information Memorandum
* Supporting documentation
* Any other information added by GWRC from time to time.
* Questions raised by Tenderers and responding answers

3) Can I please have a copy of the "Full Bus Unit specifications (PTOM Service Specifications)" provided to tenderers via the Data Room as part of the PTOM RFT process ? For the sake of clarity I would expect this to include Patronage and revenue information for each unit (or only patronage is the unit is Commercial).

I also note that similar information would expect to have been created for the "seven direct appointed units with NZ Bus and Mana" that were not covered by the tender process.
