Kind of a lot to swallow, but i have a handout that outlines everything that we have don...

And excavation and bracing in zone 3 as it progresses along. ...

561,000 craft hours through the end of november early december. A little more than 11,000 since we last spoke. The hours represent about 160200 workers in the field on any given day across multiple shifts that were running. And later in the report, there is a tally. That is over a thousand unique jobs during the Transit Center construction including utilities. So that is craft people, a thousand craft people having worked or touched this project as reported in the certified payroll system. The s...

Its about retention. And making sure that they succeed. And so on that note we have actually been looking at ways to ensure that they are going to succeed. Just as a best practices note from all the research i have done, we found that veterans need each other once they are back from their tours of duties.
