From the transcript
I'm just gonna go ahead and start and say I'm massively in favor of adopting— of accepting these contracts. Um, I recently got to spend some time, an extended period of time in Providence, uh, due to a new addition to the family. And when I tell you that they literally can't get parts of that building cool enough for the comfort of delivering mothers, that's a whole problem. Uh, second bit of this, and please correct me if I'm wrong, Madam Manager, if an engineering and facility person or personnel from the Bureau were to do this, they'd be out of pocket for other projects for 30 to 50 weeks, is that correct? 30 To 50 weeks is the lead time for the order of the chiller project, but I think a project management has already started.
