Essentially the subcontract costs were up by about $600,000.00 and the construction management
contingency fees are up about $200,000.00. So this Committee ought to ask the question why the contingency
construction management contingency fee go up and especially why did the subcontract costs go up. That
combined $800,000.00 increase with some minor reductions elsewhere, there’s a total increase like | said
before of $600,000.00. The committee ought to look into that.
