ABSTRACT Grain shipping involves many sources of risk and uncertainty. In response to these dynamic challenges faced by shippers, railroad carriers offer various types of forward contracting and allocation instruments. An important feature of the U.S. grain marketing system is that there are now a number of pricing and allocation mechanisms used by most rail carriers. These have evolved since the late 1980’s and have had important changes in their features over time. The operations and impact of these mechanisms are not well understood, yet are frequently the subject of public criticism and studies and at the same time are revered by (some) market participants.

The limitations of size, the power required, and the stability of these high-speed boats are discussed. 6nrr I- I I_, I I __I 311~ba~ 0 'THE HYDROFOIL BOAT Although work has been going forward on the development of the hydrofoil boat for more than fifty years and although a number of such boats of the most diverse types and sizes have been constructed, the general public is not very familiar with this type of high-speed craft. However, the state of research and technology as well as the test results obtained with hydrofoil boats built thus far have enabled us for years to utilize hydrofoil boats which are of considerable size and are safe to operate in ship traffic. The technical and economic inter- est presently being shown in these boats justifies the assumption that the hydrofoil boat will soon develop into a familiar means of transportation in high-speed ship traffic.

    Elevator Cab Refurbishment Specification LOCATION OF PROPERTY: EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: UC Hastings Three (3) Traction Elevators 100 McAllister St. San Francisco, CA SPECIFICATION TYPE: SPECIFICATION DATE: Elevator Cab Refurbishment April 4, 2018 Part I: General Conditions A. Form of Agreement 1. This Specification was written to be included as an attachment to a refurbishment or construction form of agreement. Throughout this document, the word “Agreement” shall refer to that agreement, as well as any/all attachments, including this specification. It is acknowledged that, in some cases, terms and conditions found in this Specification may overlap with terms and conditions found in the Agreement. In most cases, such overlap will occur because this Specification has terms specific to an elevator refurbishment, versus the Agreement which is a general document. Wherever overlap or conflict exists within or between any portion of the Agreement and any attachment, the most stringent terms and conditions shall apply. 2. If any conflict or discrepancy occurs in this specification with respect to the work specified, Contractor shall notify ECA immediately so that ECA may issue an appropriate amendment to the specification. If such a conflict or discrepancy is discovered after the award of the Agreement, it shall be assumed that Contractor has bid according to the more expensive option. In no case shall a chargeable change order result from a conflict or discrepancy within the Agreement. B. Scope 1. The scope of this specification and the resulting Agreement is for the cab refurbishment of the subject elevator equipment. Contractor is fully responsible for all work required to perform the refurbishment according to industry standards and all applicable codes, laws and guidelines as modified by any authority having jurisdiction, except where specific tasks and functions are explicitly stated within the Agreement to be the responsibility of another party.

  • Grain and Soybean Industry Dynamics and Rail Service
    Grain and Soybean Industry Dynamics and Rail Service Analytical Models of Rail Service Operations Final Report Michael Hyland, Hani Mahmassani, Lama Bou Mjahed, and Breton Johnson Northwestern University Transportation Center (NUTC) Parr Rosson Texas A&M University 1 Executive Summary To remain globally competitive, the United States’ grain industry and associated transportation services underwent significant restructuring over the past fifteen years. New technologies, helped by weather changes, led to sustained yield volume increases in the Upper Midwest. To move larger volumes faster and at lower cost, the railroad industry introduced shuttle train service. Traveling as a unit to the same destination, shuttle trains save considerable time in transit and potential delay, bypassing intermediate classification yards. Grain shippers concurrently began consolidating and storing grain in larger, more efficient terminal elevators (shuttle loaders) instead of country elevators. This report examines the effectiveness of shuttle train service and the terminal elevators supporting the shuttle train system, under different demand levels, through the formulation of simple mathematical models. In order to compare shuttle and conventional rail service, this paper introduces three distinct models. The first model, referred to as the ‘time model’, determines the time it takes to transport grain from the farm to a destination (e.g. an export elevator). The second model, referred to as the ‘engineering cost model’, determines the aggregate variable costs of transporting grain from the farm to an export elevator. The third model, referred to as the ‘capacity model’, determines the maximum attainable capacity (i.e. throughput) of a rail network as a function of demand for rail transport and the percentage of railcars on the network being moved via shuttle service and conventional service.

  • DATE: July 11, 2013 TO: Historic Preservation Commissioners FROM: Daniel A
    DATE: July 11, 2013 TO: Historic Preservation Commissioners FROM: Daniel A. Sider, Planning Department Staff RE: Market Analysis of the Sale of Publicly Owned TDR In May 2012, Planning Department (“Department”) Staff provided the Historic Preservation Commission (“HPC”) an informational presentation on the City’s Transferable Development Rights (“TDR”) program. In February 2013, the Department retained Seifel Consulting, Inc. and C.H. Elliott & Associates (jointly, “Consultants”) to perform a market analysis informing a possible sale of TDR from City-owned properties. The resulting work product (“Report”) was delivered to the Department in late June. This memo and the attached Report are intended to provide the HPC with relevant follow-up information from the May 2012 hearing. The City’s TDR Program Since the mid-1980’s, the Planning Department has administered a TDR program (“Program”) through which certain historic properties can sell their unused development rights to certain non- historic properties. The program emerged from the 1985 Downtown Plan in response to unprecedented office growth, housing impacts, transportation impacts and the loss of historic buildings. The key goal of the Program is to maintain Downtown’s development potential while protecting historic resources. The metric that underpins the Program is Floor Area Ratio ("FAR"), which is the ratio of a building’s gross square footage to that of the parcel on which it sits. Under the Program, a Landmark, Significant, or Contributory building can sell un-built FAR capacity to a non-historic property which can then use it to supplement its base FAR allowance. TDRs can only be used to increase FAR within applicable height and bulk controls.
