Then it goes to the question well bidding and someone knows that they may be the only one how do we take the gouging or inflating the price or Something Like that, so one of the things we have experience with are what are the factors or multipliers used previously to ensure to h...

That up so we talked about ways of reducing that down so those are the things we have been working on. Would we get more bidders do you think if the catalog of biddable items was smaller . I think in this case the limit tends to be geographical because we use the same catalog for local work in the city and typically get three or four contractors interested in the same line of work. Its just the work as the director was saying its not only its up in hetch hetchy but if youre a contractor in that ...

Do which the contractors is saying okay if you use 50,000 but i am concerned about you tying up 3 million or 5 million in my bonding capacity for three years. Thats for them is a big thing because they cant pursue anything because we tie that up so we talked about ways of reducing that down so those are the things we have been working on.

Education Program Survey and early notification portions are the sort of the new pieces that arent required by state law. We are using those outreach efforts, those outreach components to inform who we talk to in the actual statutory opt out phase. We are not suggesting that anyone who is going to be served by cleanpower sf would not receive an opt out notification. Anyone who wishes to participate can participate which sounds like opting in, but we wont enroll them after we have included them i...

Enrollment effort . Yeah, i think the if memory serves me its in like 47 to 52 in the deepest green areas. More than half the folks in the areas which is close to the retention rate that we measured for the tier one customers . Yeah, right; right.

Active and interested customers, and thats what we expect to make the final call on the Overall Program size in june, so then we move on to the third and Fourth Quarter activities which go to the largely the state required opt out portion. The state requires that four opt out mailers be sent to each customer that we intend to include in our cleanpower sf program. We will be in a position then as we talked before to know what the actual price is, not the not to exceed rate, but the actual wholesa...

Mailers regionalized by language and geography and demographics . Yes. All right. Thank you. Any other questions . Commissioner moran. Thank you chair. We received correspondence suggesting in our effort to fully inform everybody what opt out means that were getting close to a opt in program that would violate state law, and i assume that we have looked at what the limits are that the law imposes on us.
