ALL RIGHT. WELL, I HAVE ELEVEN AND FIVE ON MY CLOCK.
SO BLESS HER. EVERYBODY IS OUT SAFE. LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED.
AND MR. GRAYSON JOINS BE GREAT. IF NOT, WE CAN CONTINUE AS PLANNED TO MENTION MY NAME SHARED FREELY SOME WITH SECRET COUNTY AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.
THE SYSTEM COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ENGINEER DIVISION IN AND WE'RE HERE TODAY TO KICK OFF THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE FOR SAID AN INDEPENDENT REVIEW AS BRITTANY MENTIONED, THIS IS A DUE TO HOW THE COMMITTEE CAME TO BE AS FAR AS APPOINTMENTS FROM CITY COUNCIL AND COUNTY COUNCIL. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WE HAD TO HOST A PUBLIC MEETING SO WE DIDN'T HAVE OUR BROADCAST DEPARTMENT ON. SO THIS IS BEING BROADCASTED REPORTING AND BROADCASTED ON OUR COUNTY CHANNEL. SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING WE HAD TO DO AS A COMMITTEE WAS FORMED. IT ALSO WAS PART OF THE REASON I WAS HOPEFUL THAT WE COULD MEET SOONER AND GET THIS KICKED OFF EARLIER BUT HAVING A SCHEDULE WITH BROADCASTS AND ALSO GETTING EVERYBODY TOGETHER THAT MEETING MY SCHEDULE IT TOOK A LITTLE LONGER THAN HOPE FOR. BUT NONETHELESS WE'RE HERE TODAY AND EXCITED TO KICK OFF ON THIS VENTURE BEFORE WE CAN EVEN GET INTO THE MEAT POTATOES. I SENT OUT AN AGENDA DID EVER AND A FEW DOCUMENTS YESTERDAY.
THE E-MAIL THAT EVERYBODY RECEIVED THAT IS ME THIS VERY LOOSELY IS THAT AS ARE OUR FRAME OF REFERENCE EVEN THOUGH WE DO HAVE THIS AS A PUBLIC MEETING, MY GOAL IS TO KEEP THIS AS INFORMAL AS POSSIBLE POSSIBLE AND AND JUST USE THAT AS A AS A RHYME OR TO THIS
[1. INTRODUCTIONS]
COMMENTS AND DIRECTION TO MAYBE BE HELPFUL JUST TO START OFF WITH SOME INTRODUCTIONS.>> AND THEN WE GO AROUND AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS BEING A VIRTUAL MEETING.
MY HOPE WAS THAT CONDITIONS PRESENT ITSELF WHERE WE COULD BE IN PERSON.
I THINK THIS TYPE OF COMMITTEE WOULD WOULD WORK FAVORABLY IN PERSON BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE STILL TIED TO THE CONDITIONS WHERE WE ARE IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD.
SO THAT AGAIN MY NAME'S JERRY PRINTED SOME WITH ME FOR COUNTY .
I STARTED WITH THE COUNTY IN THE SUMMARY LAST YEAR AS TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC ENGINEERING DIRECTOR AND THEN AND ALL THIS WAS MOVED INTO THIS POSITION AS SYSTEM AND THE ADMINISTRATOR OF ENGINEERING I INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT AS A POINT PERSON CONTACT FOR THE 278 PROJECT AND HAVE BEEN COORDINATING WITH BRT AND TOWN TO HILTON HEAD AND VARIOUS OTHER STAKEHOLDERS AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSED. SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE ABOUT ME IF I MAY WE CAN GO AROUND A 1 OR 2 MINUTE FILE EVERYBODY. BRITTANY I GUESS I'LL GO AROUND ON THE SCREEN AS I SEE IT IN FRONT OF ME. BRITTANY, IF YOU CAN TELL US WHAT YOU KNOW IS BURNING SOMEWHAT DEEPER COUNTY ENGINEERING AS THERE.

INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS ON THAT FRONT. >> RIGHT.

[00:05:05]
HDR ENGINEERING AND ON THE ENGINEERING TEAM TO I AM ACTUALLY IN COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA. AND I'VE BEEN IN ROADWAY AND TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS FOR TWENTY THREE YEARS NOW 23 24 YEARS NOW. SO YEAH, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND HELPING OUT OVER COMMITTEE. GET THE BEST PROJECT THAT WE CAN. AN UNDER HILTON HEAD SCOTT HI. GOOD MORNING TO EVERYBODY.>> UM, I'VE BEEN EMPLOYED HERE WITH THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND FOR 30 YEARS.
I ACTUALLY JUST CELEBRATED MY ANNIVERSARY A COUPLE OF WEEKS GO.
MY CURRENT TITLE IS DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROJECTS AND FACILITIES AND CHIEF ENGINEER.
ONE OF THE KEY RESPONSIBILITIES I HAVE IN MY CURRENT POSITION IS THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TOWN'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM. OUR ROADS PATHWAYS DRAINAGE, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND THE LIKE. BUT LOOK FORWARD TO SERVING WITH YOU ALL AND REVIEWING THE CDO TS. AGENT GOOD MORNING. I'M A TRANSPORTATION PLANNER WITH HDR AND WINSTON-SALEM NORTH CAROLINA OFFICE. BUT I GREW UP IN SAVANNAH.
I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA YOU HERE. >> THANKS MIKE AGAIN MIGHT CALL INTO THE YEAH. JERRY. THANKS MIKE GARRIGAN.
I REPRESENT JENKINS ISLAND I GUESS IN THIS PROCESS FOR 15 YEARS I'VE LOOKED AT WINDMILL HARBOR. PRIOR TO THAT I LIVED SEVEN YEARS OVER ON THE FIRST ISLAND AND PRIOR TO THAT DEAD DID PLANTATION. I'M A SOUTH CAROLINIAN BY BACKGROUND OF CURRENTLY OWNS SEVERAL BUSINESSES IN SEVERAL COUNTIES THROUGHOUT SOUTH CAROLINA ORANGEBURG COUNTY, BAMBERG COUNTY, RICHLAND COUNTY .
AT ANY RATE I CHAIRED THE DRAFTING COMMITTEE FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
HERE AT WINDMILL HARBOR AND AS SOME OF THE PEOPLE ON THE CALL HERE KNOW, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS U.S. 278 ISSUE FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME IF NOT LONGER AND INTERESTED IN ADDING WHATEVER INPUT I CAN TO THE PROCESS. THANK YOU.
AND REGIONAL. I'M RECENT PRINCE. >> I AM A FIVE YEAR HILTON HEAD ISLAND RESIDENT AND I'M ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AS A COMMUNITY AND RESIDENT ADVOCATE.
I HAVE A BACKGROUND IN ENGINEERING AND FINANCE FINANCE.
MY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROJECT ARE THAT WE MAINTAIN THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE BEEN SET FORTH AND THAT THE PROJECT IS RIGHT SIZED TO MEET THE COMMUNITY SAFETY AESTHETIC
AND TRANSPORTATION NEEDS. >> SO BOTH OF THOSE ACTIONS AND AND GET TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT
[2. PURPOSE OF COMMITTEE]
ABOUT EACH ONE. >> APPRECIATE THAT. I GUESS I'LL PICK UP KIND OF AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS AGAIN JUST KIND OF A PURPOSE HOW THIS COMMITTEE CAME TO BE.
SO AS EVERYBODY IS AWARE, THE OKATIE IS LEADING THE PROJECT THROUGH THE DESIGN STAGES AND MORE SPECIFICALLY THROUGH THE PROCESS THE NEED. THE PROCESS IS A LONG PROCESS.
IT'S INTENDED TO EXPLORE ALL POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES TO DEVELOP A DESIGN THAT MEETS THE NEEDS THE PURPOSE AND THE NEEDS AS WELL AS LIMITS THE IMPACTS TO THE COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT. SO STARTING I GUESS PROBABLY LATE SUMMER OR FALL.
THERE THERE WAS A VOICES OF CONCERN THAT WERE RAISED TO BOTH COUNTY COUNCIL AND CITY COUNCIL AND COUNCIL OVER THE PROJECT AND SOME OF THE ALTERNATIVES THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AND PROPOSED FROM DUTY TO THE GO PRO THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW IS TO KIND OF BRING ON A THIRD PARTY ENGINEER WHICH IS HDR THAT HASN'T BEEN CONNECTED WITH THE PROJECT THAT HAS A TRANSPORTATION BACKGROUND. IT'S A LARGE NATIONALLY RANKED FIRM. SO SOMEBODY WHO HAS THE BANDWIDTH TO EVALUATE WHAT'S BEEN DONE ALREADY BY DUTY AND PROVIDE SOME FRESH IDEAS AND ALTERNATIVES AND TO ENSURE THAT THERE ISN'T A STONE LEFT UNTURNED. SO THIS IS A GENERATIONAL PROJECT, SOMETHING THAT'S OUTLAST PROBABLY ALL OF US ON THE PHONE QUALITY AND WE WANT
[00:10:01]
TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT. SO THE GOAL OVERALL THOUGH IS TO MAKE SURE ALL THE CONCERNS THAT ARE OUT THERE AND YOU GUYS ADD REPRESENTATIVES TO THE DIFFERENT AREAS THAT THE HILTON HEAD AT LARGE AND THE STONY COMMUNITY AND JENKINS ISLAND AS WELL AS THE MUNICIPALITIES THAT EVERYBODY'S REPRESENTED. AT&T IS DOING A GREAT JOB FACILITATING THE PROJECT.THEY ARE NOT THE PRIVATE OWNER. THEY'RE A STAKEHOLDER WITH THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN.
THE THREE OF US OWN THE PROJECT TOGETHER BUT THIS IS JUST OUR ENSURE THAT THEY HAS A CHANCE TO RESPOND IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER AT THE END OF THIS COMMITTEE.
THE GOAL IS THAT WE HAVE A STUDY THAT HAS A REPORTER THAT WE CAN PROVIDE TO BOTH CITY COUNCIL AND COUNCIL AS PRESENTATION OF SOME OF THE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS COULD BE PROVIDED TO DFT FOR THEIR INCLUSION OR FURTHER EXPLORATION OF THE IDEAS THAT ARE EXPLORED THROUGH THIS COMMITTEE'S EFFORT.
SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW IT CAME TO BE. AS ANYBODY SAID, THIS PROJECT'S BEEN OUT THERE FOR A LONG WHILE AND AND EVERYBODY I MOST EVERYBODY ON THE POWER'S BEEN INVOLVED IN SOME FORM OR ANOTHER AUTOMATED. SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.
TALKED ABOUT HDR A LITTLE BIT. THEY ARE A INTERNATIONAL FIRM. THEY'VE GOT OVER 200 OFFICES AND THEN PUT TEN THOUSAND EMPLOYEES WORLDWIDE. THEY WORKED A LOT IN SOUTH CAROLINA AS FAR AS WORKING DUTY AND COUNTIES AND TOWNS TOGETHER IN AGAIN.
>> THEY'RE NOT CURRENTLY CONNECTED WITH THE PROJECT. SO NOW THAT THEY WERE SUITABLE FIRM TO HELP IN THIS ENDEAVOR. SO IS THAT THAT WAS WHAT WAS PUT FORTH BY CITY COUNCIL OUR TOWN COUNCIL AND COUNTY COUNCIL AND THAT THAT'S THE CHARGE THAT WE'RE ALL OFF HERE TODAY ON
[3. INTRODUCTION OF CONSULTANT]
THIS CALL. SO I GUESS AS FAR AS HDR PHILIP OR DEATH, I WANT TO GIVE US A LITTLE MORE BACKGROUND. CAN YOU GUYS ARM IN ANY OF YOUR EXPERIENCE IF YOU WANT?>> YEAH, I'M SURE I'LL GO FIRST AND LET YOU CHIME IN BUT AGAIN JUST A NICE I SAID IN NORTH CAROLINA I WORK FOR HDR BEING WITH THE FIRM ABOUT SEVEN YEARS THEN DOING THIS DOING
TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING FOR ABOUT 18 YEARS. >> IT GETS KIND OF MY ROLE TO ASSIST THE GROUP AND AND THIS COMMITTEE TO TRY TO AGAIN LIKE GERARD MENTIONED AND SEE IF ANY OTHER KNOWN THAT HAVE BEEN ON TURN IF WE NEED TO BE LOOKING AT ANYTHING I GUESS MY PERSPECTIVE WILL BE KIND OF AS AN OUTSIDER FROM SOMEBODY WHO'S NOT SITTING IN SOUTH CAROLINA PROVIDE A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE OF , YOU KNOW, SOME OTHER WAYS THAT THINGS CAN BE EVALUATED.
I'LL SAY WHAT YOU'RE ON IN OTHER STATES. WELL SO GO AHEAD, BILL.
YEAH, I THINK THAT WAS PERFECT . >> I ACTUALLY CAME IN SOUTH COMING TO COLUMBIA OFFICE AND I'VE DONE SOME WORK DOWN IN THE LOW COUNTRY.
I'VE BEEN IN SOUTH KIND SINCE NINETY NINE TO I THINK I'M I HAVE A FAIRLY GOOD FEEL OF HOW THE D.A. WORKS AND SOME THINGS THAT THAT THEY DO. BUT YEAH AS FAR AS HDR.
I THINK WE'VE GOT ANY KIND OF RESOURCES THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE THAT WE MIGHT NEED FROM THIS COMMITTEE AVAILABLE TO US. AND I THINK THAT'S THE GOOD THING THAT WE BRING. ONE THING I DIDN'T MENTION AS FAR AS KICKING HDR SO WE THINK THE COUNTY IS UNDER CONTRACT WITH HDR. WE KICK THEM OFF AT THE BEGINNING AND THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER TO START COORDINATING WITH D.A. AND GETTING DESIGN DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO EVALUATE THE DESIGNS KIND OF GETTING THAT READY. WELL, WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM OFF ON ANY STUDIES THAT WE WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAD THIS MEETING AS A KICKOFF MEETING SO WE CAN GET SOME DIRECTION AS THE COMMITTEE DESIRES ON ALTERNATIVES TO EXPLORE OUR CONCERNS THAT WE MAY HAVE OR SHARE. AND SO WE'VE GOTTEN THEM ON BOARD IS THEY'VE DONE A LITTLE BIT OF RECONNAISSANCE WORK BUT REALLY KICKED THEM OFF ON ANYTHING ENGINEERING WISE TO STUDY UNTIL AFTER TODAY. SO CHARITY, ANY THOUGHTS OR QUESTIONS SO FAR?
[5. COMMITTEE CONCERNS]
>> I KNOW I'VE TALKED A LOT. >> TARA HERBERT FORD JR. AS I INDICATED, I'M A LIFELONG
[00:15:06]
RESIDENT MOTIVATED RESIDENT OF THE STONEY COMMUNITY AND THE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU SENT OUT ONPAGE TWO OF US TWO SEPARATE INDEPENDENT PEER REVIEW. >> YEAH.
QUESTION NUMBER TWO ARE THERE HDR OR THE COUNTY LOGO? >> THIS BEAUFORT COUNTY LOGO, THE THIS IS FROM THIS IS FROM DAVE. IT TALKS ABOUT ON THE SECOND PAGE. QUESTION NUMBER TWO AUDIO SAFER.
DESIGNED BESIDES JUST ADDING CIRCLES AND PAVEMENT IS THAT QUESTION COULD BE ANSWERED BECAUSE THIS WAS MY PRIMARY CONCERN WAS TO THE EXPANSION OF 278 BECAUSE YOU EXPANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY HAD ALL THE PROPERTIES OF TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD. AND I'VE NEVER THOUGHT A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY TO HAVE A SPEED LIMIT OVER 30 MILES AN HOUR. AND IF YOU'RE HAVING A SIX LANE HIGHWAY READY TO LOVE OUR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL AREA ,MY CONCERN IS FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE I'VE HAD THE JUST ON OFF HAVING A YOUNG BROTHER KILLING ON 270.
>> AT THE AGE OF FIVE BECAUSE OF THINGS SPEED UP THE TRAFFIC COMING TO 70.
HEY, I'VE ALSO HAD THE OPTION TO WATCH THE 64 30 YEARS I'VE TRAVELED I NINETY FIVE FROM THE
STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS TO KEY WEST, FLORIDA. >> AND THERE ARE TWO LANE HIGHWAY ON INTERSTATE 95 WHICH THE INTERSTATE AND I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIGURE OUT WHY
WE NEED A INTERSTATE ON A SMALL ISLAND. >> SO I AM PARTICULARLY
CONCERNED AS IT RELATES TO SAFETY. >> DINO PATTI IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION ABOUT SAFE FROM ALTERNATIVES OF THE DAM EXPANDING 70 INTO A SIX LATE FREEWAY. IS THAT A QUESTION THAT'S GOING TO BE AT SOME POINT DURING THIS DURING THIS OVERSIGHT PROCESS? THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE DIRECTION TO THE IMMEDIATE LARGE TO GIVE DIRECTION TO HDR TO TAKE A LOOK AT AND EXPLORE EITHER ALTERNATIVES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN EXPLORED BY THE ARE ALTERNATIVES THAT MAY HAVE NOT ALREADY. AND IF THAT'S A MAJOR CONCERN, THEN I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HDR AND SAY PLEASE, PLEASE DEVELOP EITHER SOME LOOK AT ALTERNATIVES ALREADY EXPLORED OR DEVELOP SOME NEW ONES THAT POSSIBLY FIT THAT THAT NEED. WILL THAT PROCESS INCLUDE COMMUNITY INPUT OR IS IT INDEPENDENT PROCESS THAT THEY'LL BE DOING ON NOW? WELL IT WOULD IN PROBABLY MORE TOWARDS INDIVIDUAL THE GOAL WOULD BE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO AND PROVIDE TO BE A TIMELY FASHION ANCHOR. THE ADS THAT YOU AND MR. GRIFFIN AS KIND OF REPRESENTATIVES STUNNING COMMUNITY YOU GUYS CAN HELP PROVIDE SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF AND THE SAME THING WITH THE OTHER
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THEIR PROSPECTIVE AREAS. >> SO IN ORDER TO KIND OF DO IT IN A TIMELY FASHION, DFT IS DOING A LARGE PART OF THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND THIS IS TO HELP ADD TO THAT BUT NOT REPLACE THAT. SO IF THERE'S ALTERNATIVES OR IDEAS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN EXPLORED OR SOMETHING LIKE HDR COME UP WITH AN IDEA WITH ALL THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE THEY CAN CREATE AN IDEA THAT HASN'T BEEN DEVELOPED THEN.
THAT'S THE GOAL. >> HOW DO WE GO ABOUT HOW DO I GO ABOUT HAS TO REPRESENT THE STONE COMMUNITY CORRESPOND WITH HDR SAID ARE SOMETHING DOWN WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT HERE?
>> JUST AS ACTION ITEMS TODAY THE GOAL HOPEFULLY IN A LITTLE WHILE.
WILL COME TALK ABOUT THIS A MINUTE WHERE DFT IS IN THE PROCESS AND WHAT THEY'VE LOOKED AT AS FAR AS WE ARE AWARE. AND THEN FROM THERE START KIND OF LISTING SOME CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE IN THIS FORMAT. AND THEN FROM WE COME BACK AT A LATER DATE AND WHETHER IT'S ONE
[00:20:03]
WEEK OR TWO WEEKS OR THREE WEEKS AND IF THIS IS SOME TIME TO EXPLORE WHATEVER THESE CONCERNS THAT WE POPULATE AND THEY CAN COME BACK AND START PROVIDING SOME FEEDBACK.THIS IS THE THIS IS THE PLACE VOICE THAT DAVID YEAH. HAND WILL IS IS PART OF HP
YOURS? >> TASK TO REVIEW THE COMMUNITY INPUT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN GIVEN TO THE D.A. DURING ALL THESE MEETINGS OR NOT. WELL, VERBIAGE HERBST HERBERT'S QUESTION. IT WILL HDR BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF INPUT ALREADY FROM YOU KNOW, BOTH INDIVIDUAL MEETINGS AND PUBLIC MEETINGS AND WHATEVER AND I WOULD HOPE THAT HDR WOULD AT LEAST GET SUMMARIES OF OF OF THOSE THINGS BECAUSE IT DOES ADDRESS SOME OF THE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS. AND UNTIL WE MAKE THEM IN THAT ALREADY ABOUT WHAT DETAIL AND
INFORMATION ALREADY RECEIVED FROM D.A. AND THE D.A.. >> YES, SIR.
WE WE COORDINATED BEAUTY AND THE DESIGN OF WHAT THE DESIGN TEAM AND WE'VE GOTTEN SOME INFORMATION THAT WE THOUGHT WE. WE ACTUALLY GO AHEAD AND START LOOKING AT PART OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS, SOME OF THE ALTERNATIVES THAT THEY'VE DONE, THEIR PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS, SOME OF THAT INFORMATION AND WE'VE GONE THROUGH THAT.
WE HAVE NOT GONE. WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR THEM BUT WE THOUGHT THE COMMITTEE WOULD BRING UP. WE HAVE NOT GONE BACK TO THEM WITH QUESTIONS YET UNTIL WE KIND OF WALK THROUGH THIS WITH THE COMMITTEE AND SEE WHAT QUESTIONS WE HAVE.
BUT IF WE DON'T HAVE THAT, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY ASK THEM FOR.
I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE STUFF THAT THEY SENT HAS WHAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER LIKE A PUBLIC INPUT SUMMARY SOME OF THE KEY ITEMS THAT WERE COMMENTED ON KIND OF A CONSISTENT THEME OF COMMENTS. I BELIEVE WE HAVE THAT WE CAN GO BACK AND ASK FOR INDIVIDUAL COMMENTS THAT I THINK THEIR SUMMARY WAS PRETTY GOOD. AND THEN I ALSO WANT TO GO BACK AND JUST ADDRESS SAFETY REAL QUICK. I CAN'T REMEMBER IF THEY HAD SENT US THE CURRENT ACCIDENT THAT THE CRASH DATA ON 270 IN THAT AREA.
>> BUT WE WILL LOOK AT THAT IF WE DON'T HAVE IT WILL WORK WHERE WE CROSSED THAT IN ANY INFORMATION AND AND HOW THAT WENT INTO THE ALTERNATIVES THAT THEY SELECTED.
>> WE KEEP SAYING THE T INDEED T IS A BIG WORD. I'M TRYING TO GET ON WHOLE SECOND HALF. I'M ON THAT TEAM DESIGNED TEAM IS MORE THAN JUST THE 80.
>> THERE IS A LIST OF SOME CONSULTANTS WITH VARIOUS SPECIALTIES.
YES SIR. SO WHEN WE SAY T IT'S THE TEAMS WENT OUT TO THE BID AND GOT SEVERAL PROPOSALS FROM DESIGN ENGINEERS AND AT TEAMS SO THE TEAM THAT THEY HAVE WORKING FOR THEM THIS IS NOT BEAUTY IN COLOMBIA. BEEN WORKING IN COLOMBIA FOR 30 YEARS. &-PA
