98
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:59,920
threshold bidding went from 10 to 35,000
and then also I guess there a um a

99
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,959
single source there not a lot of bidding
of

100
00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:07,440

» it was at West Haven High School and uh
they

lot of the different communities uh in

wellreceived. So I think you'll probably
