Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) Interim Plan Prepared for: Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Prepared by: HART September 30, 2016 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Overview Via letter dated June 6, 2016, in response to rising project costs and schedule delays, Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Region IX Regional Administrator Leslie T. Rogers requested the City and County of Honolulu (City) submit a Recovery Plan for the Honolulu Rail Transit Project (HRTP or Project) on or before August 7, 2016. (Exhibit A) In response, on June 24, 2016, the City requested an extension of the Recovery Plan submittal date from August 2016 to mid-2017 so the City could secure additional financial resources and submit a financial Recovery Plan supporting construction of the Minimum Operable Segment (MOS) from East Kapolei to Ala Moana Center. (Exhibit B) On July 21, 2016, FTA Acting Administrator Carolyn Flowers wrote the City and agreed to extend the Recovery Plan submittal date to the end of 2016, subject to an August 2016 meeting with the FTA and submission of an Interim Plan by the end of September 2016. (Exhibit C) Per Administrator Flower’s letter dated July 21, 2016, the City needed to either: reduce the scope of the Project, consistent with the financial resources currently available, or seek additional, non-Federal resources to complete the functional scope of work under our Full Funding Grant Agreement of December 2012, or undertake some combination of these. In August 2016, City leadership met with FTA leadership in San Francisco, California, at which time the City strongly affirmed its commitment to construct the full MOS from East Kapolei to Ala Moana Center (Plan A) as opposed to the deferral of stations and other project components, stopping the guideway short of Ala Moana Center, impacting ridership and undertaking additional planning and environmental studies necessitated by having to build within current project funding levels (Plan B). After much discussion, the FTA reserved its decision on the City’s request for a mid-2017 Recovery Plan submittal date pending receipt and approval of the City’s Interim Plan. 2 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) Goals The City is requesting an extension of the December 2016 Recovery Plan submittal date to June 30, 2017 and offers this Interim Plan to describe the City’s plan for moving forward and its commitment to a financial Recovery Plan that achieves the objectives of the Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) that the City and the FTA entered into in December 2012 to the maximum extent possible. The City’s Interim Plan also sets forth the process the City will follow in preparing a plan that includes primary and secondary mitigation, including station, transit center, parking garage and/or off-ramp deferrals and guideway shortening with associated studies of negative ridership impacts and other necessary planning studies, which could position the City to construct and deliver a system of independent utility1 within the City's existing budget. This Interim Plan contains the following information: • Project Description (Project History, Project Timeline) • Current Status and On-going Activities • Project Cost Estimate and Schedule, Financial Plan and Risk Management • Coordination with Elected Officials and Business/Community Outreach Stakeholders • Interim Plan (Proposed Process for Plan A - The City’s Preferred financial Recovery Plan and Plan B - Build to Budget) • Conclusion and Renewed Request for Extension of Recovery Plan Submittal Date 1 23 CFR 771.111(f) cited below: (f) In order to ensure meaningful evaluation of alternatives and to avoid commitments to transportation improvements before they are fully evaluated, the action evaluated in each EIS or finding of no significant impact (FONSI) shall: (1) Connect logical termini and be of sufficient length to address environmental matters on a broad scope; (2) Have independent utility or independent significance, i.e., be usable and be a reasonable expenditure even if no additional transportation improvements in the area are made; and (3) Not restrict consideration of alternatives for other reasonably foreseeable transportation improvements. 3 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) PROJECT DESCRIPTION Project History On December 19, 2012, the FTA and the City signed the FFGA for the HRTP. The FFGA scope consists of the design and construction of a 20 mile grade-separated fixed rail system with 21 stations and 80 rail cars beginning at East Kapolei and terminating at Ala Moana Center, the MOS. The fully automated and driverless rail system will operate in an exclusive right-of-way and will be elevated except for a .6 mile at-grade section with a station near Leeward Community College (LCC). The system will be powered with third rail electrification and maintained and operated at the 44 acre Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF) located adjacent to LCC. The Baseline Cost Estimate for the FFGA was $5.12 billion, including $644 million in allocated and unallocated contingency and $173 million in financing costs. The Revenue Service Date in the FFGA was January 31, 2020. Project Timeline July 13, 2005 The Hawaii State Legislature passes H.B. No. 1309, HD2, SD2, CD1 which was later enacted into law as Act 247 (2005) by the Governor of the State of Hawaii. Act 247 (2005) authorizes the counties to levy a county surcharge on the general excise and use tax of up to one-half percent to fund public transportation systems. A county was required to levy such a county surcharge by December 31, 2005 which could not begin prior to January 1, 2007 and is to be repealed on December 31, 2022 August 22, 2005 The Honolulu City Council approves Bill 40 (2005), FD1, CD2, which was signed into law by Honolulu’s Mayor and referred to as Ordinance 05-27. The ordinance establishes a one-half percent general excise and use tax surcharge to be levied beginning January 1, 2007 that would be repealed on December 31, 2022 for the purposes of funding the operating and capital costs of Honolulu’s public 4 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) transportation. Ordinance 05-27 was conditioned upon the approval of a locally preferred alternative following an Alternatives Analysis and Draft EIS, receipt of an operational, financial and development and route plan and a commitment of federal funds February 27, 2007 The Honolulu City Council selects East Kapolei to Ala Moana Center via Salt Lake as the First Construction Project or MOS (Resolution 07-39) and later amends the route on January 28, 2009 to serve the Airport as part of the First Construction Project (Resolution 08-261) November 11, 2009 City executes a contract for design-build services with Kiewit Pacific Company for the West Oahu/Farrington Highway Guideway (WOFH) June 30, 2011 City executes a contract for design-build services with Kiewit Infrastructure West Company for the Kamehameha Highway Guideway (KHG) City executes a contract for design-build services with Kiewit /Kobayashi Joint Venture for the MSF July 1, 2011 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) forms pursuant to an amendment to City Charter in the 2010 general election establishing HART as a semi-autonomous agency of the City November 28, 2011 HART executes a contract for design-build-operatemaintain services for Core Systems and Operations, including 80 rail cars, with Ansaldo Honolulu JV for the MOS December 29, 2011 FTA provides Final Design Approval February 6, 2012 FTA approves a Limited Construction Letter of No Prejudice (LONP) in the amount of $184.7M August 24, 2012 Hawaii Supreme Court requires an Archaeological Inventory Survey (AIS) be completed for the entire 20-mile route before construction can resume 5 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) November 2, 2012 Judge A.

The contract was executed on September 20, 2016 and Notice to Proceed (NTP) is expected to be issued in the fourth quarter of 2016 or later if requested by the contractor. Future Awards: Two major contracts have yet to be awarded: 1) The Pearl Highlands Transit Center (parking garage, transit center and H-2 off-ramp) with a current budget line item of $315 million; and 2) The City Center Guideway and Station design-build contract with a current budget line item of $1.61 billion. WORK IN PROGRESS: PROJECT COST ESTIMATE AND SCHEDULE, FINANCIAL PLAN AND RISK MANAGEMENT Project Cost Estimate and Schedule HART is intently focused on updating its post-FFGA Contract Packaging Plan (project cost estimate and project schedule) using both independent cost estimates and a bottoms-up risk assessment of every project in the program. HART wants to ensure all program risks are quantified and realistic estimates are assigned from which HART project managers can manage risks, contain costs, value engineer and administer the contracts in a fiscally responsible manner. 10 As of 9/30/2016: Estimated Project Cost: ~$6.8B Contingency: ~$1.4B Financing Cost: ~$ .4B Total: ~$8.6B Projected Revenue Service Date: Dec 2025 Financial Plan To date, HART has not published an update to the 2012 FFGA Financial Plan. HART is currently working with all stakeholders (capital program staff, operations and maintenance (O&M) staff, intermodal partners such as the Department of Transportation Services (DTS), Oahu Transit Services (OTS), Budget and Fiscal Services (BFS) and third-party stakeholders, including land owners and utility companies) to compile the necessary data to produce an updated Financial Plan for the HRTP by no later than December 1, 2016. The task is necessarily complicated by the inability to completely update FFGA Financial Plan assumptions made in the 2012 FFGA Financial Plan when decisions regarding certain aspects of the future O&M of the intermodal system are, as of yet, undecided. Examples include fare-box policies and the details of intermodal operations, including but not limited to the specifics of an interim opening of the intermodal system. 2 Nonetheless, HART is committed to produce an updated Financial Plan based upon the best available data and information by no later than December 1, 2016. Risk Management In 2016, HART adopted a new Risk Management System that focuses on mitigation strategies to assist the project teams in project delivery. The risk management program has recently performed a bottoms-up risk assessment of every project in the HRTP program in support of budget and schedule refinement and development. This process evaluated the base cost and 2 Responsibility for intermodal O&M is currently the subject of Proposed Charter Amendment Question No. 4: “Should a unified multi-modal transportation system be created by: . . . Placing operations and maintenance responsibilities for bus, paratransit and rail solely in the Department of Transportation Services…?” See www.honoluluchartercommission.org. 11 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) schedule of each of the approximately 38 individual projects in the program and then applied a network risk model that was created to define and determine how a discrete risk on one project affects or has the potential to affect other projects in the program. By monetizing the potential risks and impacts, including impacts to schedule, the risk management program assists the project management teams in decision making, costs containment and risk mitigation. HART is confident its new Risk Management System will empower its program managers and project director to think and act proactively, thereby anticipating risks, costs associated with risks and potential schedule impacts in advance. Armed with such knowledge, decision makers will be poised to mitigate risks and avoid costly change orders, claims and contract amendments. 12 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) COORDINATION WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS AND BUSINESS/COMMUNITY OUTREACH WITH STAKEHOLDERS Coordination with Elected Officials Honolulu’s Mayor, City Council leadership, the HART Board of Directors and HART’s management team have briefed leadership and members of the state legislature to initiate discussions regarding various options to generate additional nonfederal funding for the Project. While legislators were open to meet and discuss, they clearly indicated the need for more information regarding HART’s Project Cost Estimate, Schedule, Financial Plan and Budget, drawdown of federal funds, GET and cash flow. HART has committed to work with all legislators (state and city) to provide them the information and data they need to make informed decisions. To date, the following meetings have occurred between HART and elected officials to share HRTP information and provide a status update: August 22, 2016 August 22, 2016 August 22, 2016 August 23, 2016 August 23, 2016 August 24, 2016 August 24, 2016 August 31, 2016 August 31, 2016 September 1, 2016 September 2, 2016 September 2016 Mayor Kirk Caldwell Council Chair Ernest Y. Martin Council member Brandon Elefante Council member and Budget Chair Ann Kobayashi and Council member Carol Fukunaga Council member Kymberly Pine Council member Ron Menor Council member and Transportation Chair Joey Manahan Council Vice-Chair Ikaika Anderson State House Speaker Joseph Souki Council member Trevor Ozawa State Senate President Ronald Kouchi State Legislators (House and Senate) 13 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) Business/Community Outreach with Stakeholders Since traveling to San Francisco to meet with the FTA in August 2016, the HART Acting Executive Director, the HART Board Chair, the HART Deputy Executive Director, the HART Project Director and the HART Director of Government Relations have met with and made or scheduled presentations to different business and community stakeholders, including but not limited to Move Oahu Forward, the Hawaii Business Roundtable, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies and its local Hawaii chapter, neighborhood boards and community associations, as well as labor organizations, including but not limited to the Laborers-Employees Cooperation and Education Trust, and other project stakeholders. The purpose of the meetings was to convey the City’s commitment to construction of the MOS and the strength of the City’s partnership with the FTA. The feedback from the meetings has been positive and encouraging, as there is overwhelming support for the City to pursue the funding options necessary to construct the MOS to Ala Moana Center. INTERIM PLAN (PROPOSED PROCESS) During the August 30, 2016 meeting with the FTA, City and HART leadership spoke with one voice in strong support of submitting a financial Recovery Plan by June 30, 2017, a plan that honors the City’s commitment to Oahu communities, residents and transit riders by building a functional rail system between East Kapolei and Ala Moana Center (the MOS). The two plans that follow describe the City’s process to deliver a Recovery Plan consistent with the City’s priority and FTA guidelines and objectives: 1) “Plan A” represents the City’s financial Recovery Plan in support of building the MOS between East Kapolei and Ala Moana Center. As recently as Wednesday, September 28, 2016, Council Chair Ernest Y. Martin and Council Transportation Chair Joey Manahan noted: 14 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) We support HART’s recovery plan to complete the rail line to Ala Moana Shopping Center, as agreed to in the Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA). This project will serve as the backbone of an island-wide multimodal transportation network that will create economic opportunities and more housing choices while providing a much needed alternative to residents battling some of the worst traffic congestion in the country. The Honolulu City Council is committed towards continuing work with HART, the administration, the private sector and our partners in the state and federal government to secure additional funding for the project. On Thursday, September 29, 2016, during HART’s project update meeting with Mayor Kirk Caldwell, the Mayor reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to rail and to building the entire 20-mile, 21-station route, from Kapolei to Middle Street to Downtown and to Ala Moana. Mayor Caldwell emphasized that he was “equally committed to securing the funding sources needed to complete the project in its entirety.” With the strong support of the Mayor and the Honolulu City Council, HART will continue to work aggressively to contain program costs, pace program expenditures, improve program management and mitigate program risks while working collaboratively with state and city leaders to secure the additional program funding necessary to submit a financial Recovery Plan to the FTA that assures the completion of the MOS. 2) “Plan B” represents the build to budget option, describing the process the City will undertake to deliver a transit system with independent utility within the program’s existing budget. As the full buildout of the rail system from East Kapolei to Middle Street does not qualify as a system of independent utility within FTA guidelines, Plan B will necessarily require the City defer stations, defer other project components and stop the guideway short of Ala Moana Center to reach a logical termini within the existing budget, all of which will negatively impact ridership and require additional planning and environmental studies. As such, a Plan B option is strongly disfavored by the City. Although not described herein, as noted by Administrator Flower’s in her letter dated July 16, 2016, there is an option to combine Plan A and Plan B with an outcome based 15 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) on the receipt of additional revenue combined with mitigation considerations which will result in some negative impact to the current HRTP project design and functionality. Plan A - The City’s Preferred Financial Recovery Plan Under Plan A, the City is taking steps to secure a commitment of additional financial resources during the 2017 state and city legislative processes. Between October 2016 and January 2017, the City and HART leadership will continue to meet with legislators, community and business groups and residents to reinforce the City's commitment to a multimodal transit system between East Kapolei and Ala Moana Center. The City Center Guideway and Stations (CCGS) segment is the last major component of the MOS that is not currently under contract due to budgetary constraints. HART is actively working on finalizing CCGS documents and specifications for the design-build contract including, but not limited to, the finalization of plans and designs for the relocation of utilities running through the CCGS corridor. Based on the City’s strong support for Plan A, assuming HART is able to secure additional financial resources, HART projects an award of the CCGS contract in mid to late 2018. In the meantime, HART is continuing with right-of-way (ROW) acquisitions, sensitive to Council's and the HART Board of Directors’ concerns that HART work proactively with business owners to avoid prematurely displacing or interrupting businesses in advance of actual construction. HART shares these concerns and has agreed to proceed accordingly. HART is still refining the total cost and schedule for the program, which includes the presently unfunded CCGS. The refinement process incorporates HART’s new risk management assessment on all contracts and projects, including the CCGS base cost and schedule. HART has also called upon the services of its On-Call Contractor to facilitate areas needing special attention including, but not limited to, verification of existing utility as-built drawings and relocation of specific utility lines. As the outcome of the state and city legislative processes will not be known until mid2017, HART will continue to pace expenditures on existing contracts and work to contain costs. HART will also forego the Pearl Highlands Transit Center (parking 16 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) garage, transit center and H-2 off-ramp) procurement until additional funding resources are secured to complete the MOS. Consequently, to effectively evaluate the feasibility of this Plan A option, an extension to deliver the final Recovery Plan until June 30, 2017 remains an operative request from the City as this is clearly the preferred option to meet the objectives of the FFGA. Plan B - Build to Budget If no additional federal and non-federal funds are made available, HART must develop a strategy to complete a project of independent utility within its current estimated revenue of $6.8 billion. Building a system, as planned and designed, from East Kapolei to Middle Street has already been determined as one lacking independent utility, meaning Middle Street is not a logical termini within FTA guidelines for the purpose of amending the FFGA and retaining the FFGA federal share of $1.55 billion. As a result, absent a financial Recovery Plan, HART must de-scope the existing program and proceed with Plan B. HART has already completed Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates for various Plan B options which were presented to the HART Board of Directors on June 8, 2016 for discussion purposes only.3 The HART presentation at that time included estimated daily boardings at 21 stations along the 20 mile guideway in 2030, totaling an expected 119,582 daily boardings. The ridership estimates provided to the Board also differentiated between those riders who were expected to arrive at a station by car and park, be dropped off, arrive by transit (bus/paratransit) or walk/bike to the rail station. The cost and ridership estimates, along with general pros and cons for program de-scoping options provided to the Board on June 8, 2016, demonstrate that HART has an understanding of the Plan B task. Further, HART acknowledges that the Plan B process will need to be refined and studied at a much more discerning and in-depth level. (Exhibit F) For example, HART is presently undertaking a detailed cost estimate and schedule analysis of one Plan B option, an alignment that would end at the Downtown Station, 3 Cost estimates to complete the project to various stations between Middle Street and Ala Moana Center have been revised since the June 8, 2016 presentation to the HART Board. 17 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) arguably a logical termini of a system with independent utility. Initial ROM cost estimates indicate that constructing the guideway to the Downtown Station necessarily means the deferral of the Pearl Highlands Transit Center (parking garage, transit center and H-2 off-ramp), along with the deferral of the Kalihi, Kapalma, Iwilei and Chinatown stations. In addition, a Plan B to Downtown necessarily defers Civic Center, Kakaako and Ala Moana Center stations. While the City would plan to add these project components and stations back when funds are available in the future (a date uncertain), the current impact to the system is calculable and would be quantified and described in detail (loss of ridership and fare-box, disengagement of communities and transit riders, negative impact to Transit Oriented Development (TOD) opportunities including affordable housing opportunities, disruption to communities associated with construction on multiple versus single occasions, increased future construction costs for deferred project components and stations, need for additional bus/paratransit service in affected communities at a higher per-mile cost, etc.). HART plans on commencing its cost and schedule analysis during October 2016, including a ridership study that will provide the necessary input for the feasibility of project de-scoping options, with completion anticipated in April 2017. Based on the results of these studies, HART will develop the scope of work to retain a consultant to assess the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Chapter 343, Hawaii Environmental Policy Act (HEPA) impacts of project de-scoping options with mitigations considerations. The scope of work should be completed by the first quarter of 2018, to be followed by the NEPA and HEPA planning/environmental studies and alternative analyses, a period of twenty-four (24) to thirty-six (36) months. All dates are approximate. Recognizing the FTA’s concern that pursuing a Plan A option might negatively impact successful implementation of Plan B, HART is monitoring its cash flow rate and is taking immediate steps to pace future expenditures to the fullest extent possible. HART is also focusing on cost containment in anticipation of June 30, 2017 Recovery Plan submittal date. For example, the Pearl Highlands Transit Center procurement is on hold pending a determination of a Plan A versus Plan B Recovery Plan. As noted in the July 2016 PMOC report, HART has recently implemented cost containment and cost reduction measures as follows: 18 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) 1. Significant revision of HART’s contract packaging strategy; 2. Development of a detailed cost reduction matrix that focuses on the remaining construction contracts (Value Engineering); 3. Review of interface milestones to help relieve schedule compression where possible; 4. Review of various options related to financing of the project; 5. Identification of items that could be considered O&M costs; 6. Development of a HART Decision Milestone Matrix. Previous initiatives to contain and reduce costs include: Changes to the General Conditions including, but not limited to, simplifying subcontractor specialty license requirements and giving contractors more control over Maintenance of Traffic (MOT); Changes to Procurement (changing from design-bid-build to design-build procurements and re-packaging from one large design-build to two design-build procurements); Changes to Design Criteria, such as maximizing the use of precast and fabrication offsite for speed of construction and reduced MOT and relaxation of concrete mix specifications; and Changes to the Station Scopes, such as simplifying the design of parking lot canopies at Aloha Stadium and eliminating the Ewa entry and bridge at the UH West Oahu Station. In summary, under a Plan B process, HART will accomplish the following: • Develop cost and schedule analyses for Plan B project options under build to budget scenarios. The cost and schedule analyses will be comprehensive and include the anticipated increased costs for future project component and station construction that will be deferred in the Plan B scenarios (April 2017); • Conduct a comprehensive ridership analysis to determine the negative impacts to ridership due to the deferral of project components and stations, including direct and indirect (disparate) impacts, along with the anticipated loss of fare-box revenue and the increased costs associated with additional bus service to compensate for those communities not having access to rail (April 2017); 19 Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) • Determine which project components and stations need to be deferred to deliver a system with independent utility within the program budget and quantify and describe the negative impacts to communities, businesses, TOD opportunities and residents associated with said deferrals and de-scoping (June 2017); • Develop a sequencing schedule for the Plan B scenarios which disrupt communities, businesses and residents through multiple construction project necessitated by the later construction of deferred project components and stations (June 2017); • Draft NEPA/HEPA Scopes of Work (April 2017 – October 2017); • Conduct the NEPA/HEPA studies necessitated by the de-scoped program (October 2017 – March 2020). CONCLUSION HART is confident it can submit a financial Recovery Plan (Plan A) or a build to budget Recovery Plan (Plan B), or a combination thereof, by June 30, 2017 while preserving the City’s strongly preferred option of constructing the MOS from East Kapolei to Ala Moana Center. We invite any questions you may have regarding this Interim Plan and look forward to the FTA’s earliest reply regarding the City’s request for a June 30, 2017 Recovery Plan submittal date. 20 EXHIBIT A ’ 2 e HART U S De P artment of Transportation Federal Transit Administration • —9 i9 51 - The Honorable Kirk Caidwell Mayor City and County of Honolulu 530 South King Street, Suite 300 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 REGION IX Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Guam American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands th 90 7 Street Suite 15-300 San Francisco, CA 94103-6701 415-734-9490 415-734-9489 (fax) JUN 6 2016 Mr. Daniel A. Grabauskas Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation 1009 Alakea Street, Suite 1700 Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Re: Recovery Plan for Completion of the Honolulu Rail Project Dear Mayor Caldwell and Mr. Grabauskas: As you are aware, the recent Risk Report for the Honolulu Rail Transit Project (“Project”) indicates the total cost to complete the Project will range between $7.73 billion and $8.01 billion, with an estimated completion date of December 2024. These costs and the schedule extend far beyond the costs and schedule set forth in the December 2012 Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) between the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and grant recipient, the City and County of Honolulu. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the FFGA, I write today to require the City and County of Honolulu and the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) to submit a Recovery Plan for completion of the Project which demonstrates HART is taking every reasonable measure to mitigate the cost overruns and minimize the delay in opening the Project to revenue operations. The FTA Acting Administrator Carolyn Flowers and I will expect your Recovery Plan on or before August 7, 2016. We appreciate the many challenges HART has faced in the design and construction of the Project, among them, the unfavorable market conditions, unanticipated costs for utility relocation, and delays attributable to litigation. Still, HART can do more to contain costs and mitigate the slippage in schedule. Most importantly, HART must re-baseline the Project budget and schedule to reflect current conditions, identify a permanent risk manager, update the Project Management Plan, and streamline its organizational structure with clear roles and responsibilities. Moreover, we urge HART to engage a peer review with industry experts to recalibrate a critical path for Project completion that is entirely consistent with your expected financial resources. EXHIBIT A As FTA seeks to protect the public’s very substantial investment under the FFGA, and HART seeks to deliver a rail transit system of enormous and lasting benefits to the island of Oahu, we call on you to redouble your efforts to complete the Project as quickly and efficiently as possible. The Acting Administrator will contact you in the near future to gauge your progress on the Recovery Plan. In the interim please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

Washington, District of Columbia 20590 The Honorable Leslie Rogers Regional Administrator Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Region IX U.S. Department of Transportation th Street, Suite 15-300 90 7 San Francisco, California 94103-6701 Dear Administrator Flowers and Regional Administrator Rogers: This letter responds to Administrator Roger’s letter of June 6, 2016 requesting the City and County of Honolulu (City) and the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) submit a Recovery Plan for completion of the Honolulu Rail Transit Project (Project) to the FTA by August 7, 2016. We appreciate the FTA acknowledging the many challenges HART has faced in the course of implementing the Project and we share the FTA’s objective to contain future construction costs and mitigate the slippage in schedule the Project has experienced to date. We want to assure the FTA, as our federal partner, that we intend to submit a Recovery Plan that accurately reflects the City’s preferred path forward in constructing the Project. We also want to emphasize that while the Recovery Plan is important to the City and FTA for recalibrating this Project, it in no way reduces the City’s commitment to 20 miles and 21 stations under the minimum operable segment (MOS). Request for Extension of Time to Provide a Recovery Plan While we acknowledge the FTA’s desire to receive a Recovery Plan by August 7, 2016, the size of the potential funding gap in the Project is such that additional time is needed to carefully assess all options. As such, the City proposes June 1, 2017 for the submission of its Recovery Plan. EXHIBIT B The Honorable Carolyn Flowers The Honorable Leslie Rogers June 24, 2016 Page Two A June 1, 2017 date will provide the City the time it needs to more fully develop and cost Project options based not only on the resources available today, but resources the City intends to aggressively pursue between now and the first half of CY2017. It is the City’s unwavering commitment to rail that drives our request for more time to submit a Recovery Plan that is thorough, achievable and, frankly, honors our commitment. Assurance of Project Progress — Work Plan To assure you our request to submit the City’s Recovery Plan by mid-2017 in no way adversely affects our continued progress on the Project, please find the City’s Project Work Plan through mid-2017 attached hereto. In closing, thank you Administrator Flowers and Regional Administrator Rogers for your continued willingness to work with the City on a plan to coinplete the Honolulu Rail Transit Project and provide safe, effective and affordable mass transportation services to our communities on Oahu.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is amenable to an extension, but must insist that the City and County and the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) provide FTA with such a plan no later than the end of this calendar year. Also, no later than the end of this August, HART and TA must meet to discuss the immediate milestones and deliverables for an interim plan on how the Project will move forward, and I will expect that plan by the end of September 2016. Please recognize, FTA is obliged to protect the public?s very substantial investment in the Project, thus we need to know the City and County?s intentions for resolving your planning, engineering, and ?nancial issues as quickly as practicable. For the future of the Project the City and County must make a fundamental choice to either reduce the scope of the Project, consistent with the ?nancial resources currently available, or seek additional, non-Federal resources suf?cient to complete the functional scope of work under our Full Funding Grant Agreement of December 2012, or undertake some combination of these. Your Recovery Plan'must then be based on your decision whether to reduce the Project scope or seek additional, non-Federal resources, or both. Logically, your first step will be to identify a range of viable options for cost containment, new investments in the Project, perhaps an interim terminus or deferral of certain stations, and an analysis of the costs and estimated ridership associated with each such option. As local deliberations continue, FTA cautions the City and County to refrain from any procurements or other actions that would foreclose viable options for maximizing Project bene?ts or prejudice decision on a Recovery Plan My staff and I have several thoughts that should be discussed with HART during the month of August. Mr. Leslie Rogers, FTA Region IX Administrator, will call you to make arrangements - for that purpose.

The Revenue Service Date (RSD) was to be January 31, 2020.  The Project description stated “The Honolulu Rail Transit Project (the Project) consists of design and construction of a 20-mile, grade separated fixed rail system from East Kapolei to the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu Hawai’i. From East Kapolei, the Project proceeds to the University of Hawai’i at West Oahu, then east to Pearl Harbor, the Honolulu International Airport and ends at Kona Street adjacent to Ala Moana Center. The Project will operate in an exclusive right-of-way and will be grade separated except for a 0.6 mile, at grade section near the Leeward Community College. The Project includes 21 stations, 80 rail vehicles and a Maintenance and Storage Facility”.  In FTA’s Risk and Contingency Review in September, 2012 for the FFGA, the PMOC stated that HART’s cost estimate of $5.122 billion, including $644 million in total contingency, was acceptable. EXHIBIT F History of Review by FTA  Since then, HART has worked closely with the FTA in the management of the Project.  During this time, Monthly Reviews were performed by the FTA’s Project Management Oversight Contractor (PMOC) and Quarterly Reviews performed by the FTA’s Regional Office.  On August 14, 2014, FTA issued another Risk Refresh letter in which they recommended that HART increase their cost estimate to $5.386 billion by adding $265 million ($139.5 million in adjustments and $125.5 million in additional contingency).  Both the FTA and the PMOC, as well as HART, were surprised at the increased costs to the Project in late 2014 due primarily to the extraordinary construction cost increases in Honolulu over the past five years.  On May 10, 2016, FTA forwarded a copy of their recent 2016 Risk Refresh entitled FINAL DRAFT for comment. In this review, the FTA states the cost to be $7.731 billion (p50) including an increase of $856 million in contingency, an increase of $2.609 billion over the original FFGA cost estimate. The FTA also gave a cost of $8.016 billion (p65) by including $1.141 billion in contingency.
