timetable 1996 Greater Stuttgart Region became PTA for suburban rail in Stuttgart until 2003 The existing contract with Deutsche Bahn has been prolonged several times 2002 Several competitors denied to be able to run a service like the S-Bahn before 2012 due to the lack of rolling stock 2003 The region awarded a new contract directly to Deutsche Bahn 2005 Preparation of the following tendering procedure: creation of lots 2006 Competitive selection procedure, cancelled in 2007 due to European Court-Decision 2007-2009 Negotiation with a call for competition for the S-Bahn 35 22.

Objectives for tendering More Quality Less Subsidies Barriers to competition must be kept to a minimum Calculation of revenues of third-party bidders in the integrated transport network lot sizes in combination with large number of required vehicles and thus also with high investment costs Residual-value risk after the end of the contract Use/creation of a depot Follow up contract 36 22. November 2013
Generating Lots Whole system is too big for most operators Lot 1: rolling stock by PTA Lot 2: 83 EMUs, 450 million 37 22. November 2013
Cost and revenue calculation It is important to have highly detailed costing system with a large number of components in order to map changes over the years Examples of possible cost groups: Overhead costs Costs of different personnel Distribution Rolling stock (fixed costs, variable costs, costs of maintenance) Maintenance facilities Define the indicators that should be used for updating different costs Calculation of revenues include high risks for newcomers only Deutsche Bahn would have the chance to calculate revenues in a proper way PTA decided to award a gross contract 38 22. November 2013
The Tendering Procedure 5 requests for participation 1 had to be rejected due to formal faults 1 withdrew in November 2007 due to lack of staff Veolia and Keolis withdrew in February 2008 due to problems with the calculation of the maintenance depot only Deutsche Bahn made a first offer Negotiations only with DB AG with netcontract 2012-2028 39 22.

Key Questions on Handling over Rolling Stock at End of Contract How will good maintenance be assured? When, by whom and how will the residual value be determined (on starting to invite tenders, on going into service)? Will all rolling stock be inspected? Who will bear the cost of expert assessment? How binding is the result of expert assessment? Hand-over to whom? When will how many rolling stock be handed over? How does the previous operator stand in respect of quality consequences as a result of a lower number of vehicles? Who is liable for the rolling stock? Who assumes responsibility for servicing and maintenance? How will the rolling stock physically change hands when the time comes? Is there any provision for any (partial) transition in service hand-over? 42 22. November 2013
Maintenance Facility Only one maintenance facility is currently available Depot owned by DB Regio Not many alternative locations available within region Region has achieved classification as a service point by Federal Network Agency Planning, construction and operation of maintenance facility is operator's responsibility Region may be prepared to provide funding The region would like to take over a depot for the maintenance of the S-Bahn vehicles after the end of the contract 43 22. November 2013
Important Issues for the Hand-over of the Maintenance Facility at the End of the Contract When, how and by whom will the residual value be determined (beginning of tender, start-up)? What equipment will also be handed over? How will it be ensured that only necessary investments are made? How will it be ensured that any necessary investments will be made at the end of the contract? Who will receive the depot? Will there be a (partial) transfer of undertakings? 44 22. November 2013
Results for the Stuttgart Case Net-cost contract: Deutsche Bahn takes the revenue-risk and risk of changed corporate share within the integrated fare system Saving of 2 Million per year 83 new cars, worth >400 Million ; no extra payments for rolling stock for the next 19 years Easy way to calculate changes of supply A certified public accountant has confirmed that the contract is economically advantageous High quality is ensured Competition for contract 2028 is made easier 45 22.
