Um I think we since forty two was pulled, do you want to start from the top and go down? The way that I had them come in. So for fifty five what I wanted to A highlight is my question regarding the actual total amount of this contract, as this is requesting change order number two for six million three hundred seventy six thousand three hundred and thirty three dollars. The total program budget for the project was around six hundred and eight million. Because of the number of work but I wanted То мекшу сенс тисне ордер номер твою.
I asked for Marie to go back to pull the actual contract amount since we had the proposal of the design and then now we're actually implementing on here. I Am concerned uh the total cost of this and this is really for you, Mr. Manager, to see if we can Moving forward in our contracts. try to take into consideration totality of the work. outside of having a contingency for amendments to come in because at some point When you're on amendment number two and or three or four, you now surpass maybe the next or the next two or three identified lowest responsive bidders. So was that a bid that was submitted based on full expectation of the totality of the project? And if so, are we really? getting the greatest advantage in the contracts that we are identifying.
Thank you. Any other comment? Mr. Jones, any comment?
