0:06Good morning, everybody.
0:07Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth, Public Works and Infrastructure Committee.
0:12I'm joined in person today with our presiding officer and fellow commissioner Shakira Johnson representing District 4.
0:19Joining us online is Commissioner Ted Terry, uh Super Six.
0:24Super 6, thank you, everybody.
0:26Uh Commissioner Terry, are you there?
0:30Thank you for joining us.
0:31It's much appreciated as always to have you with us.
0:34We have a long agenda, I believe about 21 items, and um not a whole lot of time today, unfortunately.
0:41We have the hard stop at 11 o'clock.
0:43Uh so let's go ahead and get started.
0:45We are going to begin with uh the minutes.
0:48Agenda item 2026-1069.
0:50This is for all commission districts.
0:52Minutes of the June 18, 2026 Public Works and Infrastructure Committee meeting.
0:57Commissioners move to approve.
1:00Okay, proper motion, proper second.
1:02All those in favor, raise your hand and say aye.
1:06Uh items previously heard.
1:08We have agenda item 2026-1022.
1:11This is for commission districts four and super six to allocate $500,000 of category B3 bicycle paths, lanes, multi-use trails one.
1:21Uh SPLOS 2 funding for the Laredo Drive bicycle facility.
1:25Uh and who do we have?
1:27Director Keeter, good to see you this morning.
1:38Good morning, Commissioners.
1:41So, what can you tell about this item?
1:43So, um, recently under um SPLOS resurfacing, Laredo Drive was resurfaced.
1:50And instead of just putting back the traditional striping that was there previously, um, there was a plan that was um made with the bicycle master plan to do a uh connection or an um interim connection between the Atlanta Stow Mountain Trail and the UmCAP Farmers Market at East Potts in Loreto.
2:15And so this uh agenda item would allow for um permission to use 500,000 dollars of that um of SPLOSS funding to uh to advance the Laredo Drive uh ped bike or bicycle facility plan while it's freshly resurfaced and we have a blank slate to work with.
2:39Um this is uh both of my commissioners' uh districts, so I'll start with uh Commissioner Johnson.
2:45Commissioner Terry, any questions, any comments?
2:49Uh no, other than just say thank you.
2:52Oh, we have a little bit of feedback, actually.
2:56So I'll just keep my comments to no comments for now.
2:59Okay, all right, Commissioner Terry.
3:02Um, unless there's any objections, I'm gonna open the floor for a motion.
3:05Move to approve item 1022.
3:09Proper motion, proper second.
3:10All those in favor, raise your hand and say aye.
3:14Um, all right, we're gonna move on to agenda item 2026-0524.
3:18This is for all commission districts.
3:20RFQ request for qualifications number 25-085, RFQ design services for traffic signal operations and technology improvements in the DeCab County, uh, excuse me, DeCab County uh PI number 0019786 for use by public works transportation to obtain engineering design services for traffic signal operations and technology improvements in DeCab County.
3:46Recommended award to the highest scoring proposer, KCI Technologies Incorporated, amount not to exceed 636,250 cents, excuse me, 250 dollars and 24 cents.
3:59Yes, so this is more like a maintenance project where we've picked out a hundred, well, it's really 98 signals, um, to get flashing yellow arrow upgrades and uh any kind of detection upgrades.
4:13Um now that Audible PEDs are required on new signals, we're gonna try to sneak that in as well as our budget allows.
4:22Um, however, this is not a full signal upgrade.
4:25I want to make that very clear.
4:27This is slap it in there, knock it out, get it done, upgrade these minor but um impactful improvements.
4:36So if any signal requires ride away or has some kind of significant issue, we will actually drop it from the project to advance the other 98 signals.
4:48Uh Commissioner Johnson, any questions?
4:50Yeah, I did have one question.
4:52The sub has the amount being maybe $50,000 higher.
4:57What's that difference?
5:00out get it done upgrade these minor but um impactful improvements so if any signal requires ride away or has some kind of significant issue we will actually drop it from the project to advance the other you know 98 signals gotcha okay uh commissioner Johnson any questions yeah I did have one question the sub has the amount being maybe fifty thousand dollars higher what's that difference all right so that's a that's a good question so all of this is GDOT funded and when we go through the GDOT process which we are learning um th a new purchasing process it's been a hard labor I would say um the um the forms that they have it says total this amount well that's not the total it's total plus fixed fee so we've had on a multiple agenda items you're gonna see substitutes where we've had to go back in and add the fixed fee um so that's the difference understood thank you uh any other questions no sir uh commissioner terry any questions no questions thank you okay and uh just for clarity again as was stated this is a substitute I think believe everything is gonna be the same except for the dollar amount so recommend award to the highest scoring for prozer KCI technologies incorporated amount not to exceed six hundred ninety-three thousand nine hundred eighty three dollars and eighty cents and I'll open the floor for a motion move to approve the substitute for 0524 second all right uh proper motion proper second all those in favor raise your hand say aye aye aye aye perfect all right commissioners we're gonna uh we are hopping around although not that much so we're gonna go to the top of page two and we're gonna take the first one at the top agenda item 2026 0581 this is for districts one and super seven RFP excuse me RFQ request for qualification number 2025 045 RFQ uh rebid design services for CR 5182 Pleasantdale Road from I 85 to Tucker Norcross Road PI number 0019623 for use by public works transportation to obtain engineering design services for CR 5182 slash Pleasantdale Road recommend award to the highest scoring proposer Atkins Realist USA Incorporated amount not to exceed 2,29096 cents.
7:05Director Keeter this is another one of our GDOT projects where we'll have a substitute to add that fixed um cost I I think that's been it it has been and let me since you just reminded me uh again this is recommend award to the highest scoring proposer Atkins Realis USA incorporated amount not to exceed 2,35314 and nine cents and this is for um full design through the plan development process of GDOT um I would that number is a large number and um it's it's going to be it's not a worse case but it's a higher case because they don't they don't have a concept yet so they don't know you know if there's bridges or walls or what so they had to uh you know assume make some assumptions based on a field visit.
8:06And so I expect that we'll be assigning this by task order instead of just one big um uh assignment so that we can do it um get a concept and narrow that and hone that number in for the next task order so that's how we're we're planning on doing that some of these big design projects but I would as y'all talk about congressional funding and other federal opportunities anything that goes through GDOT has to follow the plan development process which takes multiple years at least three years of design right away and then construction and that's a very small project and the plan development process design costs are are going up to about two million for just an average size project and could go to three or four million for a longer project or a larger project so just keep that in mind as you make applications.
9:00Okay all right thank you and I'll just say for Pleasantale Road uh there are several retaining walls along the area so I suspect there's gonna be some underground water flows that are are uh part of the concern so uh thank you for that information uh commissioner Johnson any questions any concerns no questions commissioner terry any questions any concerns uh no concern just one question is is the goal of this redesign to make it more um like multimodal or is it just um standard infrastructure oh it's absolutely to make it more multimodal um the the the vision I have is to narrow the lanes and shift the lanes to one side and have a multi-use path with um that supplements our existing pedestrian crossings um to uh help the corridor so the the narrower lanes would slow down the speeds and um there's a lot of pedestrians and bikes park school um so uh it to provide that multimodal um facility at least on one side of the street okay wonderful thank you yep and uh commissioner terry uh just for for information at 85 in Pleasantdale is the large uh warehouse distribution of UPS so they have several heavy vehicles that are coming through there
10:07Um so uh to provide that multimodal um facility at least on one side of the street.
10:16Okay, wonderful, thank you.
10:18And uh Commissioner Terry uh just for for information at 85 in Pleasendale is the large uh warehouse distribution of UPS.
10:26So they have several heavy vehicles that are coming through there, and then as you get down to Tucker, uh Tucker, of course, did that road diet several years ago.
10:35Um and uh I think it's fair to say traffic is a teetotal mess uh around rush hour uh in that interchange near the QT.
10:44So um uh I appreciate staff looking into ways to sort of improve traffic over there.
10:49Uh Commissioners, unless there's any questions or conversation, I'll open the floor for a motion.
10:53Move to approve the substitute for 0581.
10:59All right, we got a proper motion, proper second.
11:01All those in favor, raise your hand say aye.
11:04Moving on to the next one, agenda item 2026-0821.

11:29Recommend award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, RJ Haney and Associates Incorporated, amount not to exceed 441,244.
11:41Yes, so this uh is a straight up construction bid to build to build two traffic signals, one at Alford and Stevenson, one at Hollywood and Valley Brook.
11:53Uh Commissioner Johnson, uh this is no questions, just excited about the project though.
11:59Commissioner Terry, this is also your area.
12:03No, no questions other just to say thank you, Director Keeter, for um getting these uh traffic signals installed at Valley Brook in Hollywood.
12:10That's been a long time request, so excited um to see that move forward.

13:11Yes, this is to just uh extend the time.
13:13Um there were some delays in obtaining some traffic signal equipment um to get manufactured, so we wanted to give them some more time to finish.
13:22Uh Commissioner Johnson.
13:24Um so what do we think the timeline will be?
13:28How much longer do we think it'll be?
13:30Um they are they're planning on being done by the end of the year.
13:37Um Commissioner Territory, any questions?
13:41All right, open the floor for a motion.
13:43Motion to approve 0845.
13:47All right, proper motion, proper second.
13:49All those in favor, raise your hand say aye.
13:52All right, moving on.

14:23Recommend award to the highest scoring proposer, Thomas and Hutton Engineering Company, amount not to exceed 998,946.59 cents.
14:34Okay, this is another one where we're still preparing the substitute to add the fixed fee uh cost.
14:50Commissioners, uh any questions?
14:53Commissioner Johnson?
14:58No, everything looks good here.
15:00I was just um uh curious.
15:03I guess this is I guess like the next big step for this trail extension.
15:08Is that right, Director Keater?
15:11So we're um this will be to provide a uh G dot concept report and uh to get an alignment set and get public buy-in.
15:22Um so this is really working on the concept and and getting um getting this finalized to go um on to design to full design.
15:38Is there I was trying to see if there was a map.
15:42Is that something you could send later on?
15:44We'll provide a map.
15:46Okay, great, thank you.
15:48No further questions.
15:49Okay, Commissioner Terry, just uh just for general information.
15:52Uh this is part of the Peach Tree Creek Greenway.
15:54I guess is one of those segments that they have proposed going all the way up in the Gwinnett County.
15:58Uh Director Keeter will get you the map that you're looking for for all of us.
16:02Uh but I think generally speaking, that's the intention is to follow that that trail that has already been proposed.
16:11Uh and then uh is this urgent where we should we you would recommend we approve it a substitute and then it comes to us tomorrow, or do we have time and we can get this to uh 14th.
16:23It would it would be much better if we went ahead um because we're up against some federal deadlines.
16:30So an appropriate motion might be uh pending substitute.
16:35Move to approve 0951 with the pending substitute.
16:40All right, proper motion, proper second.
16:42All those in favor, raise your hand and say aye.
16:45All right, commissioners, thank you.
16:47Uh on my notes here.
16:48I have that uh 2026-0950 is over three million dollars, and so it's gonna be deferred.
16:55So um we're just gonna keep that uh keep that in the queue.
16:59I I would just add that that will have a substitute as well for the same reasons.
17:04Um we're fine deferring it for the time being because we're gonna be meeting tomorrow anyway.
17:12Um again, it's up against some federal funding deadlines, so um we also have a vote meeting next Tuesday.
17:23We're with you, but we gotta we want to.
17:25Right, I understand.
17:26And there's a process.
17:28Director, I appreciate you being here.

24:34Uh Commissioner Johnson, any questions?
24:37Commissioner Terry, any questions?
24:39No questions, thank you.
24:40Okay, you know I got a dad joke ready to go, but I'm not gonna draw it.
24:44I'm not gonna drop it.
24:47Uh I'll open the floor up for a motion.
24:50Move to approve 0922.
24:55Uh Commissioner's second, and just happy to keep things moving.
25:00That's pretty slick.
25:04Uh proper motion, proper second.
25:06All those in favor, raise your hand, say aye.
25:09We are the greatest show on earth, by the way.
25:11That's that's how we're the reason.
25:13All right, moving on.
25:14Uh director, thank you very much for your time this morning.
25:17Uh moving on to watershed management.
25:18We have agenda item 2026-0874.
25:22This is for commission districts three and seven.
25:24Change order number seven to contract number one three-nine zero two six eight four.
25:30Construction management services for Snapfinger advanced wastewater treatment plant.
25:35Expansion, phase two for use by the Department of Watershed Management to obtain CM services.
25:40Seeking increase in contract funds and term through December 31st, 2026, awarded to TetraTech Incorporated, amount not to exceed 654,004 dollars.
25:55Allowing me to be here this morning.
25:58Um this item is ultimately for close out of phase two of the Snapfinger.
26:06Um advancement project.
26:09Um it's been on the way for quite some time.
26:12We're against the fact that I emphasize close out.
26:19So that's exactly what it is.
26:20There's uh um a few key um administrative things that need to take place.
26:27Um exchange of warranty information, operational manuals, and things that we need to ensure that we have due to the nature of the project, and that's exactly um what TetraTrack is providing for us.
26:43Uh Commissioner Johnson, any questions?
26:48No questions, thank you.
26:49Well, Commissioners, uh I'll open the floor for a motion.
26:53Move to approve 0874.
26:56All right, we got a proper motion, proper second.
26:58All those in favor, raise your hand and say aye.
27:01We're gonna skip uh the City of Atlanta payment for the time being, and we're gonna go to agenda item 2026-0799.
27:09This is for all commission districts.
27:11Change order number seven to contract number one one two four four zero three.
27:16I'm sensing a substitute.
27:19Um again, uh change order number seven to contract number one one two four four zero three.
27:25Uh teledyne ISCO training and support equipment, software, and licenses, parts and related system components for sanitary sewer flow monitoring, sole source for use by the Department of Watershed Management to install and maintain equipment related to consent decree requirements.
27:43Seeking increase in contract term through December 31st, 2026, and to ratify term increase awarded to Teledyne uh ISCO, a business unit of Teledyne Instruments Incorporated, contract term increase only.
27:59So the need for the substitute, and I think they're going to be some additional tweaks, but ultimately because we're going to be rebidding, and hence we do have existing funds.
28:12So we're just gonna um only go for uh contract time increase through the end of this year, so no need to add additional funds.
28:21Put another way, you'll be, as you said, you will be coming back to us before the end of the year or early next year.
28:26Absolutely before the end of the year.
28:28But later today, you guys will probably get all the details of this substitute.
28:34But that's the meat of it.
28:36Uh, is there anything you can tell us sort of in details as to what is the nature of the substitute?
28:41Um just to remove the the uh three million dollars in um stick to uh term increase for six months to the end of this year.
28:53Um the contract is very central.
28:56Um it's kind of like a sole source.
28:58It's flow monitoring equipment that we must have for a whole host of reasons.
29:03Um and we just need to, it's been um a contract for I think a little over five years, and it's just time to rebuild, even uh rebid and ensure that we're um getting the best we can for the county.
29:21Uh Commissioner Johnson, any questions or comments?
29:24We did get a report from uh Director Campbell this morning on this item, so this reflects what the audit was showing.
29:34Uh Commissioner Terry.
29:37No questions, thank you.
29:39Uh that said, uh, I'll open the floor for a motion on the substitute.
29:43Move to approve the substitute for 0799.
29:49All right, we got a proper motion, proper second.
29:50All those in favor, raise your hand, say aye.
29:53All right, Commissioners.
29:54We're gonna move on.
29:55Uh next item is uh 2026-0822.
30:00This is for all commission districts.
30:01RFP request for proposal number 2025-154-RFP.
30:07Construction management services for Snapfinger advanced advanced wastewater treatment facility.
30:13Expansion phase three, a three C and three D projects, multi-year contract for use by the Department of Watershed Management to provide pre-construction services, construction inspection, and other field services.

30:41Campbell's uh audit review uh as supported.
30:44So director, please tell us what you can.
30:46Yes, so uh this item is ultimately to provide the same service as the previous item, but for our additional phases of the project, hence the three A 3C 3D versus the um phase two.
31:04Um it will uh expand further capacity of the plant give us um more reliability and um modernization for the future and this is the um construction management services of that the actual contract um GC services were was presented, I want to say two committees back.
31:30Um so this is actually what this item's for.
31:34Uh Commissioner Johnson, any questions?
31:36Just one question, refresh my memory.
31:38What's the timeline on this project?
31:40When is it expected to be completed?
31:43I think all three phases is projected through 2030.
31:52Um thereabout, or maybe 2032.
31:57A lot of these um capacity expansions is aligning with consent decree.
32:04Um it requires some pretty um major changes to the list station, um the um influent pumps, you know, various treatment processes.
32:17So I do believe it's 2030 or 2032 is the final completion.
32:23Anticipated completion.
32:26All right, thank you.
32:27Uh Commissioner Terry.
32:29No questions, thank you.
32:32All right, uh Commissioners.
32:34Um, and again, confirming there's no substitute that's been put forward with this.
32:43Um I'll open the floor for a motion.
32:46Move to approve 0822.
32:50Uh we've got a proper motion, proper second.
32:52All those in favor, raise your hand and say aye.
32:56Commissioners, we're hopping over to page five.
32:58Top of page five is uh I'll just uh read the title out agenda item 2026-0197.
33:07And um that is five million dollars, and we're gonna go ahead and defer that as we're still waiting for it to come out of uh Mr.
33:12Campbell's audit review.
33:14So we're gonna hop on down to the next item.
33:16Agenda item 2026-0644.
33:19This is for all commission districts.
33:21Change order number four to contract number one three zero one five two six on call water and sewer, multi-year contract with two options to renew for use by the Department of Watershed Management to obtain on-call services for the installation and repair of various sizes of water and sewer pipes seeking increase in contract funds and scope of work awarded to Ruby Collins Incorporated, total amount not to exceed 21, uh 23,442 dollars.
33:53Um this item is warranted to essentially can continue replacement of approximately a mile of 36-inch transmission main.
34:11Um that actually was predicated by emergency failure that that that happened, and we notice additional deterioration when responding to that break and which necessitate uh this particular change order.
34:27And I'll note that Mr.
34:29Campbell has uh reviewed this item and it was supported uh through audit.
34:33Uh Commissioner Johnson, any questions?
34:35Can you tell that length again?
34:38It's it's just shy of 5,000, so about a mile.
34:45Uh Commissioner Terry, any questions, any comments?
34:49No questions, thank you.
34:51Uh Commissioners, unless there's anything else to add, I'll open the floor for a motion.
34:55Move to approve 0644.
35:00We got a proper motion, proper second.
35:01All those in favor, raise your hand and say aye.
35:05We're going to defer the next two items.
35:06I'll just uh call out the numbers so that that's on the record.
35:09Uh the next item is 2026-0854.
35:13Uh, this is a request of over 230 million dollars, and uh we're well obviously waiting for Mr.
35:18Campbell on that one.
35:19Um and then the next item is 2026-0861.
35:23Again, all commission districts, and this is just over 18 million dollars, and we're waiting on Mr.
35:28Campbell for uh for this one as well.
35:31We're gonna go to the next item and the final one on the page, agenda item 2026-0888.
35:38This is for commission districts one, three, six, and seven.
35:41Change order number one to contract number two zero zero zero zero five seven.
35:46Uh indefinite quantity construction services, statewide contract number that we can all read for use by the Department of Watershed Management to obtain rehabilitation and painting services for storage tanks, seeking increase in contract funds to repair and repaint three additional storage tank tanks awarded to Lichie Commercial Construction Incorporated, amount not to exceed two million nine hundred forty-seven thousand eight hundred ninety-four dollars and seventy-two cents.
36:15Um, just as is stated, um, there's um a need to do um three additional of our um ground storage tanks.
36:26I believe it's inclusive of our station at uh Lathonia.
36:34Um, and then two additional tanks that are actually located at uh the Scott Candler plant.
36:42Um a lot most you see the storage tanks that are outside of the plant, and what you can't see is the outside, you can tell that it needs to be maintained by discoloration of the paint.
36:55However, internally, there's structural condition elements that you must drain and then inspect um preventatively to ensure that you don't allow the tank to go beyond repair, um, and that's what this item allow us to do.
37:11Uh Commissioner Johnson, any questions?
37:14So just to make sure I understood.
37:15So is this just the outside we're doing, but but are we also doing that inside inspection?
37:25Uh Commissioner Terry, any questions?
37:28No questions, thank you.
37:31Um Director, I got uh, on behalf of the people of Dunbody, I have to ask when uh is there an expectation and what's the time frame for the water tank uh at Ashford Dunwoody and uh Mount Vernon?
37:43So actually, thank you for that question.
37:47That item is that particular tank is on the contract because of the increase in flow during summer.
37:57And I think there was some additional work that was needed.
38:03We couldn't take the tank out of service for the length of time to do that, so we pushed it to uh the colder months where demand reduced and we can actually normalize the system and take it out of service.
38:17So um I venture to say we'll get back at it um Septemberish, October-ish, once it starts um really get deep into fall.
38:29Um we'll definitely be able to uh create um the um the logo, the the aesthetics that they've been sort of dyingly pressed for.
38:47So that's the most important part.
38:48We are gonna be able to do that.
38:49Okay, but it will be a um tank that's structurally sound and um understood.
38:56As we need it to be.
38:57Well, thank you much for that.
38:58I appreciate your attention on that one.
39:00Um Commissioners, uh, unless there's any additional questions, uh I'll open the floor for a motion.
39:06Move to approve 0888.
39:11Uh we ought a proper motion, proper second.
39:14Uh Commissioner or uh nope, okay.
39:16Just on another item.
39:18Uh all those in favor, raise your hand and say aye.
39:22We got that taken care of.
39:25If we had time since we're at the end of the agenda, if it's you guys will.
39:29I do have staff there to discuss the um 233 dollar item, anticipating that it was gonna come out of item out of out of audit.
39:38But if the will is just to wait to afterwards, um I'm prepared either way.
39:44We're prepared either way.
39:46I'll tell you what, uh, let's circle back to page four.
39:50Under watershed management, and let's hit agenda item 2026-0867.
39:56Um, and I believe uh Mr.
40:00Campbell has reviewed that and it's come out of audit as supported.
40:02This item is for all commission districts, City of Atlanta CIP payment, various quarters from 2021 to 23, fourth quarter of 25.
40:11Uh total cost 29,800, 874 dollars and eighty-seven cents.
40:17Um how are we on this one?
40:20We're we're ready to go, and actually there was a substitute, just uh matter of correction of time duration.
40:27Uh it actually covers to uh first quarter of this year, 2026 um additional quarter where the initial agenda item says through fourth quarter.
40:39Okay, I submitted the substitute.
40:42Um not here just yet, I understand.
40:45Yeah, the dollar amount does not change?
40:48It's just a correction of that time component you mentioned.
40:52Uh can staff get us the substitute for tomorrow.
41:00Uh we do have another meeting before we uh before we adjourn for for the summer.
41:06Um if you're comfortable, would you want to take the motion now or do you want to wait for the substitute?
41:10Sort of open to you guys.
41:16We can move forward.
41:17We'll open open up the floor for a motion.
41:20Move to approve a substitute for 0867.
41:24We got a proper motion, proper second.
41:26All those in favor, raise your hand and say aye.
41:28Okay, we got that taken care of.
41:30Um and then director.
41:32I don't think we've skipped over any of the other items.
41:36So if you uh commissioners, we do have 18 minutes.
41:39Do you want to hear the presentation on the 233 million dollar request?
41:46And it's um for off Scott Candler plan, and it's about recruit increasing the reliance and capacity, so it's very important.
41:58That's the only reason why I wanted to ask Miss Um Dora, our assistant director of compliance, and she uh continues to work on this project because she was the uh principal engineer for Scott Candler, um, and the most familiar in our engineering department.
42:16So she does dual capacity only for Scott Candler.
42:20All right, Assistant Director, what you got for us?
42:23Good morning, Commissioners.
42:27All right, let's let's talk about this project.
42:30And uh is that something that'll be up on the screen or I thought we sent it ahead.
42:37Um worries, is it gonna be on the screen?
42:40Do we have an electronic copy?
42:41I don't I can send that email.
42:45We were prepared to be at Sam this morning.
42:47Yeah, I uh you know that happens.
42:50Why don't we why don't we postpone it?
42:52And uh we're gonna be meeting tomorrow anyway.
42:54So why don't we just make time at the end of towards the end of that committee?
42:58Uh and if y'all don't mind coming down, we'll be at Sam Street.
43:01And uh if that works for you, that works for us.
43:08And just so you know, we actually presented on this project in March.
43:17I'm just excited about it.
43:21So we did uh present actually, Ms.
43:23Doral did um, I want to say March when we was given a look ahead on large dollar items on the uh CIP.
43:30Yep, so it was actually a part of the presentation then.
43:35I want to say about three or four slides at that time because we hadn't actually got the bids back.
43:41We um only had an estimated calls thereabout, but we didn't have the exact cost.
43:47So um so we have presented this.
43:50This is not new, it's just really a refresher and because we have concrete hours.
43:56Just gonna say that.
43:57Well, we'll see you guys tomorrow in committee at 3 30 at the greatest show on earth.
44:04Uh Zach, any other things that we need to cover?
