Liason report in the format we talked about for this fiscal year. There has been a little bit of confusion about how to deliver this content, but i think our conversation, when we were developing the work plan with you for the current fiscal year, was that each bond program would appear before you twice in a year. Once you would have a formal report from the bond Program Managers of the type that was just given on the Public Health bond. In the opposite six month point and the calendar, you would have a liason report, like mr. Lurkin gave, and the advantage would be the forcing function of having the liason have an opportunity to anticipate that item, set up a meeting with bond Program Managers, ask any questions they had, so that the content could be focused on things that are of most of interest to goback. And there ....
Or are there some programs that you report on, for whatever reason, are undergoing a cleanup . I mention this because this terminology has been used to question how far along the testing, if you will, or the fixing of our Financial Reporting system is. And since then d. P. W. Is by far the largest department, having the most numbers to actually report, im bringing these questions because we wanted you to share how comfortable you, as project managers and Program Managers, are in looking at the numbers reported from below, and aggregating it to report it to the public and ourselves. What ill say is, i, myself, is not the expert in the financial system, the next time we can have our Deputy Director of finance, and her name is julie dawsen, and she can definitely provide a more indepth analysis of what we are. The t ....
Logistics. So weve gone through the r. F. Q. , where we have short listed four contractors. So the next phase after that is to do a request for proposal. That is based on both a cost criteria and a noncost criteria. And thats currently targeted to be issued in the next month or so with a goal to have a contractor selected by the end of the year. And then have ntp for this contract by the early part of 2020. So youre looking for one general contractor to manage five projects, or multiple general contractors . So we are looking for one general contractor. And how we would deliver the projects would be the general contractor would be responsible for doing what we call the packages or trade pac packages, and we would prequalify general contractors, and they would do the same thing to qualify contractors. And they need a competitive bid on the designed scope for each of the projects. Thank you. Thank you. I have a question. Thank you, mr. Chin. Im pleased to hear that the way youve done you ....

Of the availability of contractors to do work now, the issue we heard about from the previous bond report, is affecting them, too. And what they, m. T. A. , are doing is trying to space out their bids, putting their contracts out to bid, so as to not be affected so adversely by the lack of available contractors. One of the problems of this nature manifested itself in the contract for the geary road improvements pardon me, the geary pedestrian improvements, and they got three bids, all of which were over the engineers estimate. They regarde regarded that contract as being so important to pedestrian safety, theyre going to go ahead and award it nonetheless. As a person who lives on geary and is of a certain age, im glad to hear theyre going to do anyway. There were several contracts that i wanted to ask questions about that i didnt get into the detail on until after i had read the report. But generally speaking, we heard that there be no pending major contractor claims on any of the work ....
