With vince harris is about is evaluating different project delivery methods. That there maybe different ways to deliver the project and reduce the time it takes from the schedule now which shows a traditional design build delivery method. We may complete the analysis and determine it wouldnt save time or different methods might have adverse impacts but its something were going to look at because i agree with you that getting from 30 to 100 to Revenue Service shouldnt take that long, so we will certainly do everything that we can to look at ways, whether its through staffing at rks a different differ ree method, partnering with agencies and a contractor to figure out ways to advance the schedule.

The project is currently estimated to run about 125 million in design and construction dollars. We have between 105 and 108 million in funding at the moment and that involves negotiation with cal trans and other agencies exactly what their contribution to the project will be, so there is a funding gap that were working to close. And finally where are we now on the project . Were finishing the eir eis, the environmental process and expect a decision from the federal government in september of this year.
