Bill > H3644

This bill authorizes the Inspector General to conduct a comprehensive audit and investigation of Keolis Commuter Services, LLC's performance under its commuter rail operating agreement with the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). The audit will specifically examine Keolis' compliance with its original proposal, performance obligations, financial commitments, and any waivers or relief granted by the MBTA. The investigation will cover multiple aspects of the contract, including whether Keolis has met its promised representations, fulfilled its operational responsibilities, adhered to any remedial plans, and maintained its financial covenants. The Inspector General is required to submit a detailed report with findings and recommendations to key government officials, including the Secretary of Transportation, Secretary of Administration and Finance, MBTA General Manager, and the chairs of the Joint Committee on Transportation within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The bill aims to provide transparency and accountability in the management of the commuter rail operating agreement by conducting an independent and thorough review of Keolis' contractual performance.
