with contractors and engineers six weeks ago and asked what United plans to do to fix
the problem, I never heard back. Chris with United states that the way he sees this is a
discrepancy between the plans and subgrade treatment and the itemized amount
disclosed. Per Mr. Merkley, so this is due to United miscalculating correctly that
resulted in a major over run of the plan quantity? Yes, per Chris Pope with United. Mr.
Moore stated he is very unhappy with this and United but at this point has to option
