services involving 9 clean up of the airfield. as you know asian on a flight missed it's approach at the san francisco airport and damaged the seawall and run away u way areas. one of the direct impacts of the crash and the emergency response on the airfield was some contamination of the soil in the drainage system with the jet fuel and the fire chemical. the top 6 inches of contaminated soil was to be removed prior to the work to repave the damaged pox of the run way. this was necessary this work had

to be done before we opened runway 28. it provided the clean up of the storm drablg. the cleaning of the pump station and the treasurer storage of the contaminated material and other work required before we could do the work to open the runway. it will be paid for by the fund that was approved by the board of supervisors. the amount we're requesting here for this contract will be included in our claims associated with the crash. originally the airport commission was notified this this emergency contract wouldn't
