This year, as | noted, there’s some slight price increases because construction has been strong and material
costs are going up, the price of metals have went up. So there is a small increase this year but still within that
10% criteria.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Hudson?
Mr. Hudson
Thank you Mr. Mayor. So this is engineering services with Hayner Swanson a local engineering company for
support of our sewer rehabilitation work. That’s the work where we dig up pipes and replace them when we
have to as well as make spot repairs and that sort of thing. This isn’t the lining work, this is the dig work.
