Mr. Day:
We have further reviewed our response to your request and position/interpretation of RCW 42.56.270(1) with respect to release for the full source code for Sound Transit's arrival display software as seen on screens located at the University of Washington and Capitol Hill stations. You also requested the name of the vendor hired to develop the software.
The variable message signs and arrival display software were procured as part of the University Link track and systems construction contract. Sound Transit contracted with Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. for this contract. We are working at identifying any responsive documents to your request for contacts and communication documents to any subcontractors for this work. We will contact you when this first installment is ready.
We do not have the source code. The source code is retained by the vendor subcontracted with Stacy Witbeck.
Sincerely,
Leigh Tennison

Mr. Day~
We have conducted a search through our emails for LK Comstock and Alstom. This resulted in 85,936 emails. We are finding that many of those emails are newsletter type emails and some are not related to the University of Washington or Capitol Hill Stations. It is taking us some time to go through that large number of emails to locate responsive emails. We have located 73 responsive emails (15.7 MG) as a first installment.
Please send $3.75 to cover copy and mail charges. Make your check payable to Sound Transit, 401 South Jackson and reference PD16-274 on your request. Once we receive payment we will copy the records to a CD and mail it to you. If you would rather review the records here at Sound Transit, please contact me to schedule an appointment during normal business hours.
In the meantime, we will continue to work on your request and estimate the next installment will be ready for release in 3-4 weeks.
If we do not receive payment or hear from you by April 30, 2017, we will conclude you no longer want access to the records and will close your request file.
Sincerely,
