The pace and amount of co-ordination and liaison work increased as contract work got under way, much work being channelled through the Corporation's Site Liaison Groups and Utilities Co-ordinating Group meetings and through Government's Traffic Management Group and Project Liaison Group meetings.
13.13 With the award of most of the major civil engineering contracts there was a gradual transition from the pre-contract planning and tender stage to the contract stage, and activities within the Engineering Section were beginning to reflect this change, liaison between the Corporation and Government becoming more site-orientated and geared to the very tight construction schedules.
13.14 By the end of 1975 considerable progress had been made by a Project Liaison Group, whose membership comprised Government and Corporation staff, in establishing working procedures between Government Departments and M.T.R. contractors on matters affecting Government interests.
13.15
The Office continued to be represented on the Comprehensive Transport Study Steering Group.
13.16 Throughout the year the staff of the Electrical and Mechanical Section were involved in commenting on the electrical and mechanical tender documents and generally assisting the M.T.R. Corporation and its consultants in the examination and vetting of the electrical and mechanical tenders. Regular meetings and discussions were held with representatives of the Post Office and Fire Services Department on the implication of the tenderers' proposals as they might affect the responsibilities and interests of those departments, and in compliance with statutory requirements, before recommendations were made to the Mass Transit Railway Corporation.
13.17
The Office has a total establishment of 40 in 17 different grades. The strength, however, is only 27.
13.18 Considerable staff changes occurred during the year, placing an additional burden on the Office, new staff having to familiarise themselves with the unusual complexities of the Mass Transit Railway System whilst having to maintain the very strict programme of pre-contract and tender activities.
