Other bid is coming in above estimate this was one quite below estimate which of course is good news . And any concerns with that . And the second question is about operationally all of this bol lards and blocking mechanisms and explain how they actually function and only when the facility is closed or how is it going to work in terms of buses coming in and out of the facility all the time and perhaps why we even need them. The fact that we have the bids under budget thats a [inaudible] all of us. Great. What were seeing is what we sought all along in cases we had several bidders and with the bollards and barriers we had four bidders so we had competitive bids. We had high bids but the remaining three were competitive so thus far every time we had four bidders we had good numbers and competitive bids, and as they do aggressive outreach in order to maximize the number of bidders and if we continue to get three or four bids more we expect to get good results.
