Great Eric, Thanks. It is going to be very helpful for us to have that information for the meeting. That is something very relevant for them.

Since the meeting with Sacyr is scheduled at 11 am east, we won´t be able to join or weekly conf call. Perhaps we could re- schedule it for Wednesday at the same time. Let us know if that works for you guys

Abel-

Let's see if we can't find out the answers to these questions before your meeting tomorrow.  I don't believe accreditation is necessary to be a contractor.   While contractors for government agencies need to register with the General Services Administration in the U.S. to do business with the government, that is not required for Amtrak since it is not a government agency.

Let's see what we can find out and get back to you.

Best,

Eric

Hi everyone

This weekend I received an sms from our contact at Sacyr telling me that we need to be able to answer the following questions at the meeting scheduled for tomorrow at 11 am east:

If there is an opportunity for Sacyr to work in an Amtrak´s  rail infrastructure project in the US, we need to know the following:

1)      What is necessary in order for Sacyr to be a accredited as an Amtrak contractor
2)      Would the labor force need to be accredited by Amtrak?
3)      Does the machinery need to be from the US or it can be European?
4)      Does the European Machinery need to be also accredited by Amtrak?, if so, how much time would we need for the accreditation?. At what cost?

It seems that all these issues are barriers for entry into the UK market, thus the Sacyr group are concerned about how this questions should be addressed for the US market

Are you guys available to discuss this issues today?, it is very important for all of us to be ready for this in the meeting. Let me know
