As a reminder, please continue to monitor your emails for when to rejoin for your respective Q&A session. Good afternoon again, Casely. Hello, good afternoon. Good afternoon. I'm just going to go through some housekeeping items. Attendees can be viewed in the team's participant panel. Also displayed on the screen is the list of county staff who are participating in the meeting in some capacity. For the record, please affirm that there are no other individuals in the meeting other than your team and county staff, and at least that one member or yourself has the authority to bind the company for the answers provided during the Q&A session. So you're asking me to – okay, so it's only me in the meeting, and yes, I have the authority to bind my organization. Thank you. Committee members, you may begin. Please state your name, then your questions. And as a reminder, this is only on capital improvements. Chris Deal, during the presentations, you were asked if you had taken into consideration the cost of infrastructure, you know, ancillary to your capital project proposal, the parking, the electrical, et cetera. You had answered yes and indicated that the capital improvements were already approved by the county through the current agreement, but that the county's process was lengthy, taking two years or longer, and thus preventing you from completing the project. You had also indicated in your letter to the county that the capital improvements were not exactly part of the current agreement, however you wanted to provide capital improvements, but the lengthy process took too long. If I understood it correctly, could you clarify what is the current status of those proposed capital improvements that you had proposed as part of your current agreement and how long they're taking, and then also clarify where exactly in the process you are for those capital improvements? Okay. Okay, yes. So if I missed something, because it was like a two- or three-part question, let me know. The capital improvements never got started. They were not part of the agreement. It was, there were improvements that I requested approval for at the outset of the contract period. Now, the, as mentioned before, the process was lengthy, which they did say was lengthy, and the, so were there, there were basically three capital improvements I wanted to undertake, which one is the, a mobile office, since the, the tennis offices doesn't accommodate enough space for, for large camps, adding tennis courts and adding pickleball, pickleball courts. Give me, give me, give me one second, Mr. Casely, one second. I just need to clarify something with the EC member. Are you asking, Chris, on current capital improvements that he's performing on the current contract or what he proposed? A little bit of both. So it was my understanding from the presentation that he was already in process of the projects that he had proposed. So, and that they were going to, in a sense, carry on. And if I misunderstood Mr. Casely in the, the presentation, then, then I'd apologize for that. But that was my understanding. And that, therefore, I want to know where, I guess, where we're at in that process, like where his, he's at in this process of the capital improvements. Got it. I just want to confirm that it is what you proposed on that you need to respond to, Mr. Casely. Right. I, well, I, I believe I understood the question. If I misunderstood, let me know. And that's why, I believe the question, as he said, is a two-part question, because, at least a two-part question, because he's asking if the projects started and where they are at, at this time. Is that correct? Is that the question? Yes, that's part one of the question. Yeah, part one. So I was, I was addressing part one. Okay, so what the Parks Department said is that when I proposed improvements, which, again, they were not required as part of my agreement, that they, it would entail a lengthy process. So we undertook the process, and they said, let's start first, choose one, because they said, we need to do this in parts. What's up? Okay, so, hello? What's up? Hello? Can you hear me? Yes, we can. Pursue. Okay. So I said, okay, so we will, we will start with the mobile office. So keep in mind that the contract period was five years, and I proposed this in about the second or third month. So it took about two years to two years and a half to get the initial part. And I said, I don't remember exactly that length of time, but I know we were about two and a half years into the contract by the time we got approval, because yes, it is a lengthy process. So by that time, with having only two and a half years left, it would take us three months to get this first part going, and let's say three to four months to get the mobile office, everything, the permits, everything approved on our end, it was determined there was not enough time to achieve a financial benefit or recover the investment in two years for that mobile office. So basically the three items were put on hold because of that. So they were never started. We did the groundwork, the costing, all that documentation was sent to the county. But again, they did say it was a lengthy process, and in effect it was. So we were not able to get started. But there are improvements that I believe will make the difference at the Brown-Piccolo Tennis Center. So we're very interested at the outset of this contract period, if we're selected, to move forward with these. Okay, and then so just to clarify, the proposed projects you put in for this proposal, the mobile office, the pickleball courts, and the tennis courts, those have not started at all, correct? They have not started. They were proposed in the last contract period, and we got the approval for the mobile office. But with only two years left on the agreement, we decided not to go forward at that time. I said we would not recover an investment in two years. Okay, thank you for that clarification. I do have one other question. Knowing that the county's process is lengthy, how will you ensure that the proposed capital projects you've submitted with this proposal will be completed within the time frame you indicated and that you won't delay again in the future? Well, we did not delay. The process is what it is. And I appreciate the question. That's why in my proposal I listed an exception. The exception being that if we're selected and the county, we would enter the negotiations so that we could iron out all these items prior and negotiate a time frame so we can recover the investment. Obviously, the county would need to agree, but that's part of the equation here, that we do need to have enough time to recover the investment because it's a sizable investment. So just so I'm clear, so your ability to complete these capital projects would be contingent on the county's time frame. Is that correct? I'm agreeing, the county agreeing to the term that would allow for the improvements as they're sizable improvements, yes. Okay. Thank you for that clarification. I just have one more question for you. As I was kind of re-reviewing everything, your proposal didn't go into a lot of detail regarding how you would fund these. And I know in your letter to the county, you had addressed that and said that you could potentially go out for loans and things like that. Could you go into a little bit more detail regarding how you would fund these capital projects? Yes. Two parts. The USDA has a grant for these type of improvements, adding tennis courts to public facilities. So that would be one part. But whatever other part would be funded by a SBA loan that I would obtain through my company. Okay. And are you in the process of applying for these grants? Have you applied for them? Have they been awarded? They have not been awarded, but they're readily available from the USDA. And my organization already has standing loans with the SBA for different projects so that we're very versed in the process to accomplish this. And have you already applied for them? As well as, as well. No, well, the, I do not need the SBA loan to do the first part, which is the mobile office. I can handle that on with my, you know, my organization's current finances. I do need the assistance to add the tennis courts and the pickleball courts. But since those were not yet approved or not even actually submitted in the first term, you know, the first, the current term of the agreement, due to the county suggestion that we submit one at a time, I wanted to submit all at the same time. But they suggested we go one at a time. Let's go first with the mobile office. So there hasn't been a need to apply for those as yet. They only take six to eight weeks to get approval. Okay. Thank you. That clarifies. And that is all the questions I have for case lieutenants. Thank you. Nadia? I only have a question. Which two, it was 2A, 2B, or 2C, which one on the scoring sheet was this? We'll get to that later. I just want to complete Casely's closed session. I don't have any questions for him. Okay. Thank you. Candace, any questions? State your name, then your questions. Candace Jensen. I don't have any questions at this time. Thank you. Project manager, any questions for Casely? Yes. I just want to clarify some comments that was mentioned in the presentation and in this reconvened meeting right now. Mr. Casely, you keep saying that you were actually approved for these capital improvements. As you know, I was part of that initial meetings and everything. It wasn't that you were approved. We have approved to enter negotiations. And the capital improvements didn't stand and didn't stick because the negotiation was at an impasse. We couldn't have agreed upon the terms, thus resulting in this RFP solicitation as a whole. Originally, the capital improvements was not part of the agreement. That is correct. Clarify something for the EC members, too, as well. Capital improvements is not required for this agreement. But it's supplemental as part of the PERFORMA for the evaluation criteria. We've asked for the tenant's report resurfacing. You said that was intended to take place. That was part of the responsibilities, the initial. And that's one of the evaluation criteria responsibilities requested of this solicitation right now. So I wanted to clear it up that it was not that your type of improvement was approved. It was approved for negotiation, which that negotiation ended up in an impasse because we couldn't agree upon the terms. I wanted to clear that up. May I respond to this? Okay. So, yeah, well, you're correct. When I say approved, there are several stages of approval. And one that took about two years is the one I was referring. We passed that stage. So that stage was approved. Now, we did enter negotiations, and for the first stage of the capital improvements, and we did reach an impasse when everything was taken into consideration. And between the maintenance requirements and the time left in the agreement, you're correct. And we reached an impasse at that time. Thank you for clearing it up. I just wanted to clear up that prior discussion for this solicitation. Thank you. No further questions. Sure. Thank you. Circling back, committee members, is there any questions as it relates to the capital improvements as proposed for this solicitation, not the previous activities on the current contract? Hearing none, Mr. Casely, thank you so much for your time. Mr. Casely has now completed his Q&A session. Purchasing, please invite the next vendor, David Insignia, for their Q&A session. Mr. Casely, please continue to monitor your emails for when to rejoin the public portion of the meeting, okay? Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Good afternoon, David Insignia. Hi. Good afternoon. This is Jasset Gonzalez for David Insignia Tennis Academy. Thank you. Are we waiting for any other representative from your firm? No, it will be only me as we weren't prepared for any presentation. It's only going to be question and answer today. No presentation. Okay. All right. Attendees can be viewed in the team's participant panel. Also displayed on the screen is a list of county staff who are participating in this meeting in some capacity. For the record, please affirm that there are no other individuals in the meeting other than your team and the county staff, and that at least one member of your firm is authorized to, has the authority to bind your company for the answers provided during this question and answer session. I can confirm. You're confirming both? You're the only one in the team? And do you have the authority to bind your company? Yes, correct. For the record, can you state your name and title again, please? Jasset Gonzalez, general manager. Thank you. Committee members, are there any questions for David Insignia as it relates to capital improvements they proposed on? No questions. Nadia Hingerson, no questions for me. Chris Steele, no questions. Go ahead. Candace Jensen, no questions. Thank you. Project manager, are there any questions for David Insignia as it relates to their capital improvements? Yes. As you're aware, this is a total contract term of 10 years. It's a five-year initial with five-year, one-year additional renewals. What are your anticipated plans for the capital improvements, if you proceed? Yes. So if we proceed, first, during the first 24 months, we had proposed to not only dedicate to general improvements like the windscreen nets, paint, the pro shop, but also to make the racquetball area playable again at this moment is a dump there, and that was on our first stage of the improvements. And I believe it was Hugh that clarified that with us during the oral presentation the last time about the 10-year contract. And based on that information, our firm had proposed then building eight pickable courts and four paddle courts, which are the two fastest-growing sports, not only in the States for the case of pickable, but also worldwide for the case of paddle, which is a great addition to the park for the use of the community, making Grand Piccolo Park a racquet center for tennis, racquetball, pickable, and paddle. Thank you. If these capital improvements are implemented and you are awarded, will there be a feasibility study, or how would you address increased parking for the infrastructure? Yeah, definitely has to be a feasibility study. Obviously, bringing, and I can tell you this for previous experience in one of our locations, when you bring pickable especially, it's a massive port in the area where you can have like two tennis players, and that easily becomes 16 to 20 players. So definitely you will need additional parking space. The park has a big area. Of course, we don't know the details. And since this is not part of the RFP, I cannot promise anything beyond what was already proposed. But definitely that's something that we need to take into consideration. And regarding the experience that we have at other locations, I have to say that we don't stay only with what we promised, but we comply with our commitments. That is the case of the Miccosukee Golf and Country Club improvements that we had, and the case of the Continental Tennis Center. That's a contract with Miami-Dade County. Not only all the improvements that we have done, and you can verify that like right now, we are in the process of building a gym for the park. The proposal had already been introduced to the county, and we are now in the phase of waiting for their approval for this gym for the community, all on our expenses as a capital improvement for Continental Tennis Center. As you currently have other capital improvements projects in the works, would you be able to also take on the county's capital improvements if awarded? Sorry, can you repeat that? Yeah, as you currently have other capital improvements with other contracts in place and in the works right now, if awarded, will you also be able to obligate yourself to the said capital improvements in your proposal to the Brown County? Yes. So the case of the investment that we're doing for Continental, that was something that we had already in the budget before we present this proposal for Brian Pickle Park. So that investment is completely separate of what we have or the plans that we have for Brian Pickle Park. So it wouldn't interfere for like the availability of the funds, if we can say like that. Thank you. Project Manager has no further questions. Thank you. Circling back to the Evaluation Committee members, are there any questions for David Insigne? Hearing none, thank you so much for your time and participating in your closed Q&A session. Please continue to monitor your emails for when to rejoin the public portion of the meeting. Thank you for your time. You're welcome. For purchasing, please notify the next vendor, FM Tennis LLC, to join their closed Q&A session. Good afternoon again, FM Tennis. Good afternoon. How are you? I'm good, thank you. Are we waiting for anyone else from your team? Let's see if they're on. Stephanie might join us. I'll text her in the interest of time. We can get going. We can wait a little bit. I'll need to make sure your team is here if you need them. I'm texting her right now. Let me know when you're ready, okay? I'll give it a few more minutes. Yeah, I'm ready. Yeah, she's just going to observe anyway, so I can go ahead and just get started with the Q&A. Okay. Attendees can be viewed on the team's participant panel. Also displayed on the screen is a list of county staff who are participating in some capacity today. For the record, please affirm that there are no other individuals in the meeting other than your team and county staff, and then at least confirm that you are, I think you're the only one that's on, confirm that you have the authority to bind the company for the answers provided in this Q&A session. Yes, I do. You're confirming both? I think Stephanie just joined. I see Stephanie is just joined. Okay. And then I, yes, it's myself and Stephanie, and I do have the authority. For the record, can you state your name and your title, please? Brandon Flanagan, managing partner, FM Tennis. Thank you. Committee members, are there any questions for FM Tennis as it relates to the capital improvement they proposed? Chris Deal, I have no questions for this firm. Nadia Hankerson, no questions. Candace Jensen, no questions. Thank you. Project manager, is there any questions for FM Tennis? Yes, project manager, we'd just like to, if you could restate and review your proposed capital improvements along with project timeline and funding for your proposed capital improvements. Sure. Great question. So let me just start by saying that a big part of our philosophy as a company is improving the facilities that we feel like we're custodians for, whether it's for a county, city, even certain private clubs that have aging infrastructure, we've been able to help those facilities and their facilities. I think Brian, it's a similar situation, right, where you have a facility that is in need of some improvements. We look at that as part of our responsibility as a partner to contribute and invest. We've done that at the Boynton Beach Tennis Center. In nine months, we've already invested $60,000 into the facility. We've also contributed in our four years at the City of Lighthouse Point. We just did a ribbon cutting on seven brand-new hydro courts, including brand-new fencing. And also, when we first started there four years ago, we completely renovated their pro shop. So we have similar ideas, similar proposals for this facility here. Proposed to at the Boynton Beach Tennis Center, and we've already been looking into it, is the conversion of one hard-true court into four pickleball with the rise and popularity of pickleball in the last several years. And also looking at the other local areas and facilities, we believe there's a need for more greater access to pickleball courts. And so that is one of our proposals is to essentially asphalt one of the hydro hard-true courts, creating four pickleball courts. In addition to that, something else we have experience with is improving the aesthetics of the facility for nine-foot windscreens. This would include our proposed logo that you might have seen in the proposal, which would, again, be part of our philosophy, too, embracing the identity of the facility itself, not the identity of the private company that's managing it. Again, this is just a sketch or an idea for what we think would be a cool logo to call back the hit, Brian, and his involvement in the community. And two more, refreshing the surface of the hydro courts. During our site visits, we noticed, especially in the corners, and some lines that were either varied or high, the current conditions of the courts were not our standard. So we would go through a transformation, if you will, of the conditions of the hydro courts, which is an expense from a labor standpoint, material standpoint. And then lastly, to improve the interior aesthetically, but also improve the offerings inside the pro shop, whether it be offering a stringing service, offering more facility-branded merchandise, offering an atmosphere that's conducive for more community gathering around the tennis and pickleball facilities. And so that really sums up what our plans are for the facility, you know, what our philosophy is. The refreshing of the hydro courts would be priority number one. We believe that can be done in approximately 30 to 60 days. The measurement and the improvement of the nine-foot windscreens also can be done in about 30 to 60 days, as soon as we would assume operations. And then as far as the pro shop, that might take a little bit more time, and we'd have to obviously take a further look into what could be done with the aesthetics of the interior, but providing inventory inside the pro shop, I think a similar timeline for that as well. Obviously, the one that does take longer in terms of planning and permitting and, you know, working with vendors would be the conversion of the pickleball court. We would like to get that done within the first 12 to 18 months to make sure that we have the ability to offer that new service to the residents of the community. As far as the funding, it would be a combination of using some of the revenue from the facility and the programs itself that we'd be managing, general funds from our corporate budget, and then if necessary, we would be able to finance some of the capital improvements. Looking at $150,000 approximately over five years leads to an average of $30,000 per year, which is a meaningful commitment, but also we don't think it puts an unrealistic financial burden on the company and what the facility is capable of. But as I said before, a lot of experience with doing this with other facilities, and we're confident that it leads to an overall greater experience for the patrons and produces ultimately a better business for the company as well over time. Thank you. You could correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you either have 12 or 13 locations. Is that correct? We are now managing 15 locations. They are a variety of public facilities, private clubs. We also work a lot with the youth of our communities at schools and for youth foundations serving the underprivileged. We provide coaching services for youth foundations like Delray Beach Youth Foundation. And in addition to that, we work with a lot of HOAs, both all-ages communities, and 55 and Overs. At these other locations, do you currently have capital improvements scheduled? We do have some capital improvements scheduled for the – we're working on that this summer. Actually, the Boynton Beach Tennis Center is the biggest facility we manage. They have currently six pickleball courts and 19 tennis courts. Part of our plan this summer is to improve and resurface the existing six pickleball courts. They don't have partition fencing in between, which can be added, which we're going to work on this summer. We're working with vendors already on that. And then while the vendors are updating those courts, we're also going to look into converting one of the clay tennis courts into four new pickleball courts, similar to our proposal here for this tennis center. If awarded this contract, how would you prioritize Broward County's proposed capital improvements in your proposal? How would I prioritize them? I would start with the – I do believe, you know, when I was there for a site visit, coincidentally, I saw a woman actually slip and fall on a very slippery algae around the edges of the perimeter of the court. Actually, her foot got lodged underneath the fence. She seemed to be okay, but I think the priority is making sure the courts are in a safe and playable condition. So the first thing to me is that. The second thing would be obviously everyone who comes to the facility should be checking in. That's mandatory. Obviously, we want to have – for the purposes of liability, we want to make sure we have an accurate report of who's played and who is playing on the facility at any given time. And so if you have X number of players participating, we would like to see them checking in. And they're checking in. They're coming inside the pro shop. So the pro shop, to me, would also be a very important one to upgrade. And then, like I said, too, the windscreens and the overall branding of the facility in the name of Brian Piccolo also, too, can create almost an instantaneous change in the way that people perceive the facility, you know, when they're coming to play. And lastly, obviously, you know, the most costly element of the proposal would be the conversion of the one tennis court into four pickleball. So that would be something that would take a little bit more time, obviously, after we've been generating some revenue at the facility that would help to contribute towards the cost of the updated four pickleball courts. Thank you. Project manager has no further questions. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Circling back with the committee members, are there any questions for FM Tennis? Hearing none, FM Tennis, thank you so much for your time. Please continue to monitor your email for when to rejoin the public portion of the meeting.

Committee members, based on the information gathered from the closed Q&A sessions, may I have a motion with respect to any action that is required as it relates to the vendor's proposal on capital improvement or any discussions on this topic at this point? Chris Diehl, based on the information gathered, I'd like to make a motion to re-score. What is the will of the other EC members? Nadia Hankerson, I second that motion. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion passes unanimously. The next order of business is the re-scoring of the vendors on only the applicable capital improvement evaluation criteria, which are 2C and 7. All other scores will remain as originally submitted at the final evaluation meeting, which was held on January 21st, 2022. Purchasing, please. Your mic. Madam Facilitator, the score sheets provided to the evaluation committee members have protected fields for all evaluation criteria, including the assigned points for location and the points for price. Only the specific fields associated with capital improvements evaluation criteria 2C and 7 have been left editable to allow for the EC's re-scoring. Thank you, Madam Facilitator, thank you, Madam Facilitator, thank you. Thank you. When all evaluation committee members have completed and submitted their updated score sheets, I will re-assess the meeting to provide time to re-tabulate the results. Committee members, are there any questions on the score sheets that you've received? I just have a question. If I don't need to re-score, should I still submit the form or should I, what should I do? If you don't need to, so we had a motion that you were going to re-score. So let me just clarify who is going to re-score and who is not going to re-score. Well, I did the second to give the opportunity for my colleagues to re-score if they wanted to. So I didn't need to, but should I still do a form? No, no, no. Okay. So let me just clarify, I'm going to go through, Chris, just stay for the record if you're going to re-score or not re-score. Chris Deal, yes, I'm going to re-score. Thank you. Nadia Henderson, Ancherson? Nadia Henderson, no, I will not be re-scoring. Candace Benson, no, I will not be re-scoring. Thank you. For the record, only one EC member will be re-scoring on the capital improvements evaluation criteria to C and 7. The updated score sheet has been received. We'll now take a recess to re-tabulate the results. The time is 2.21 p.m. Thank you. Thank you all for your patience. I would like to re-convene the meeting. The time is 3.17 p.m. The next order of business is to announce the updated total scores and the rankings. To reiterate, only one EC member, Chris Deal, re-scored on capital improvements. Purchasing, please announce the score. Thank you, Madam Facilitator. The updated scores are as follows. Kaisley Tennis Foundation, 255 points. David Insignia Tennis Academy, 255 points. FM Tennis LLC, 253 points. And Tempor USA Corp, 156 points. The first one, Candace. Thank you. As you can see, we have a tie between Kaisley Tennis Foundation, Inc. and David Insignia Tennis Academy. At this time, I'm going to just take another quick recess so we can address the tie as per the vendors' proposals. The time is 3.19 p.m. And we're in another recess. Thank you. Thank you all for your patience. Thank you all for your patience. I would like to reconvene the meeting. The time is 3.57 p.m. As previously mentioned, we have a tie between Kaisley Tennis Foundation and David Insignia Tennis Academy. Pursuant to Procurement Code 2142-D, the criteria for tiebreakers, and based on the vendors' submittals, we could not break the tie with location or local preference. We could not break the tie with domestic partnership. And we could not break the tie with drug-free workplace program. We also could not break the tie with the lowest volume of work. So pursuant to Procurement Code 2142-D, we're at the fifth tiebreaker element, which is to re-vote these two vendors only. In doing so, committee members, you'll be receiving a ballot electronically. The instructions for the ballot is to choose off the two vendors, between Kaisley and David Insignia. You're going to choose only the vendor that you want to be your number one choice. Okay? Let me know when you receive your ballots. Received, Nadia Angerson. Thank you. Chris Dill, received. Received, Candace Jensen. Okay. You may complete your ballots. Completed. Chris Dill, yes. Thank you. Nadia? No. Candace? No. Okay. Take your time. I'm just checking. Nadia Angerson, yes. Thank you. Candace Jensen, confirmed. Yes. On the ballots, you have to click the certified for the results to go to her. There's a button on the top. It's not letting me go back. It says your response has already been submitted. I believe we have it. Purchasing will show the results of the ballots between the two vendors, Kaisley and David Insignia. As it stands, it appears that David Insignia is the number one vendor. I'll allow purchasing to announce what this means. Thank you, Madam Facilitator. Thank you, Madam Facilitator. Pursuant to the code of ordinance section 1-75B3, local preference, if a local vendor is the highest ranked vendor and one or more local businesses are within 5% of the total points obtained obtained by the local vendor, the highest ranked local business shall be deemed to be the highest ranked vendor overall. Therefore, since the local vendor, Kaisley Tennis Foundation, Inc., score are within 5% of the non-local vendor David Insignia Tennis Academy score. David Insignia Tennis Academy is the second ranked vendor. However, FM Tennis LLC score is within 5% of the non-local vendor David Insignia Tennis Academy score. So, FM Tennis is the second ranked vendor. David Insignia Tennis Academy is the third ranked vendor. And Tempro USA Corp. is the fourth ranked vendor. Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you. The next order of business is to accept the updated scoring and ranking. Committee members may have a motion to accept the updated results and the recommendation of ranking for approval. Nadia Hankerson, I would like to make a motion to accept the evaluation committee's updated results. May I have a second? Chris Deel, second. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion passes unanimously. The evaluation committee recommendation will be posted on the purchasing division's website for three business days as the proposed recommendation of ranking. Following this three business day period, if no objection to the protest ranking have been received in writing by the director of purchasing, a final recommendation of ranking will be posted for five business days. If no vendor timely objects or protests, the ranking shall be final, provided no county commissioner objects within the five business days after receiving notice from the purchasing division of the final ranking. Once a ranking is deemed final, the county shall commence contract negotiations with the number one ranked vendor. As a reminder, all information reviewed by the evaluation committee is posted on the purchasing division's website repository, including the closed portion of this meeting. Committee members, is there any other business we need to discuss today? Hearing none, I'd like to take the time to thank all the vendors for your patience with the county throughout this process. And also committee members, thank you for your participation on this project. This second reconvene evaluation committee meeting is adjourned. The time is 4.05 p.m. Thank you all for your time. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
