Hello commissioners. Im Amanda Higgins with the security and so similar the commission awarded the contract to o technology and in december the food us theyve been acquired by conversion technologies and so thats the purpose of notice but able to evaluate the retailer and working on the security system. Thank you. Yep. And then um, on h6 h um, a little bit more information regarding the sole responsible bidder like no audio . Good afternoon commissioners my name is tracey project manager for the groundWater Project and the reason for only one bidder that is because some of the reasons that we got from the contractor phase one is close to the holidays and two, also there are other projects that they feel more like doing instead of this project and that is specialized and not many contractors have that much experience. Okay. And then the ones we had experience had other. Yes. Thats correct. I noticed during the bid opening date of the contractors 3 hundred the experience bid on another project and not this project. All right. And then so have we decided maybe mother to open up bidding during the holidays is that something maybe yes. Thats one good Lesson Learned in the future definitely will bid after the holidays. And have any of the contractors working for us already . One of the contractors that didnt bid after the award of one of the original local ground Water Projects so it is just a matter of choosing which project fits theyre also the priorities they have on their company. Is there any concern that because we only had one bidder that the price goes up and still competitive weve gotten the jerks estimate 6 million and the lowest bid the single bid is less than 7 million so weve building that the estimate for the proposal received in the bidder is prior at that time and no change orders will bring it up. We dont anticipate but because um, part the soak is absolutely excavating leaving the roads so we will never know if we have investigation and included in our there are salesmens activities you dont know theyre captured during the investigation those are the unforeseen conditions but the same thing will be change orders. Okay. Thank you. Commissioners. Commissioners any other questions regarding the consent calendar .
