“Bellingham has made it very clear that they are willing to do basically whatever we, you know, will make us comfortable. Again, my concern is there are monies that have come from the state. If I accept a subpar product, the state could very well come back and say, That's not what we bid off on. You owe us $4.6 million, and I don't really want to do that. So we got to let this play out a little bit.”

But Bellingham has made it very clear that they are willing to do basically whatever we, you know, will make us comfortable. Again, my concern is there are monies that have come from the state. If I accept a subpar product, the state could very well come back and say, That's not what we bid off on. You owe us $4.6 million, and I don't really want to do that. So we got to let this play out a little bit.
