that is the main reason that the grantee was selected for the sole source. but john might want to add more. >> sure. again, john sitikawa, director of contracts for h.s.a. generally as a rule for public contracting, we want things fully competitive bid, we want other c.b.l.s to have the opportunity to bid on this. some of the things that are trickier are contracts that involve leases, involve residences, some site-base reasonable doubt challenging. to give this kind of an example is the history of this contract came from d.p.h. d.p.h. has a red crossism in in the administrative code that allows them to automatically put sole source under certain circumstances, which h.s.a. does not have. we have to come up with a justification when we do sole source that is different than dphs. what is challenging with this contract is that it is master lease-based which means the organization holds the leases, not necessarily the tenants. you have about 110 clients and from what i understand, the turnover, and that is about five to 10 a year. so, in contracting, if at some

the first is that the grantees themselves, george washington, robert morris, never, almost never took possession of the atlantic they didn't go there to live on it and in some cases in their entire lives they never even visited it. they were absentee land owners in the purest sense of the word. secondly, when they didn't pay any attention to that land, george washington had this piece of land on the river right near charleston, west virginia. the present down here. so when the colonial governor granted it to him, he granted land to washington all over the mountains. but washington hired his own surveyor, i can't for the new f crawford, and sing about there basically said i don't know what this is. it belongs to me. i want you to survey only the flat land. i only care about the flat land. and by the way, if you get caught crossing the proclamation line, we never even met. because it is illegal for crocker to go there and do it after 1767. crawford win any made a survey from this rock to that tree over to that island down there, and he blazed washington's initials on of all things cherr
