To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
Documents created or acquired between May 2016 and the date this request is fulfilled that include:
· The Dallas-Houston team's Hyperloop route proposal, which was submitted to the Hyperloop One Global Challenge.
· The Dallas-Houston Hyperloop team's budget for creating the Hyperloop One Global Challenge proposal.
· Potential budget plan(s) for the proposed Dallas-Houston Hyperloop route.
And documents created or acquired between Sept. 14, 2017 — the date the Dallas-Houston route was named a finalist by Hyperloop One — and the date this request is fulfilled that include:
· Documents and communications intended to address the commercial viability of the proposed Dallas-Houston Hyperloop route that were exchanged between members of the Dallas-Fort Worth Regional Transportation Council and Hyperloop One. As detailed in this Hyperloop One press release (https://hyperloop-one.com/hyperloop-one-announces-10-winners-hyperloop-one-global-challenge), these documents and/or communications should include:
- initial ridership forecasts
- business case
- preliminary technical analysis of the route and corridor
- other elements specific to the Dallas-Houston route.
· Any documents produced as a result of the workshop Hyperloop indicated it would host for the Dallas-Houston Hyperloop team as one of the challenge's finalists — also mentioned in the press release — if the workshop has happened yet. Otherwise, disregard this point.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Paxtyn Merten
