So | mean | have full faith in the Departments that work on this and the contractors that we hire, but our job
is to make sure that these projects are being looked at with a fine tooth comb and that we can go back to
our constituents and explain what is going on with things. So | think anyplace that we can have

Alderman Jette

don’t feel comfortable saying that this price is appropriate. | think it should be reviewed by a Committee; it
should be vetted before a Committee. Is there any problem is there a time crunch we are facing?

Director Cummings

Yes, yes — that will cause a problem.
