handle is hein.gao/gaobaayrg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REPORT BY THE U, S. General Accounting Office Better Management Of Metro Subway Equipment Warranties Needed The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority has expended about $300 million for subway equipment. The authority plans to buy additional equipment which it estimates will cost another $600 million to service its 100-mile system. But the authority's warranty administration for its present equipment con- tracts and future procurements must be im- proved. GAO recommends that the authority's Gen- eral Manager establish a consistent interpreta- tion of equipment warranty and reliability provisions with clearly defined roles and rela- tionships for those involved. These arrange- ments should fit Metro's existing operating conditions, and should be effectively imple- mented. 108663 0 o3S22 /I i PSAD-79-41 FEBRUARY 27, 1979
