. >> commissioner mazzola: thank you. a couple questions, thanks for your report. so the deferred maintenance subfund, is that something separate than our maintenance department? >> yes. >> commissioner mazzola: it's not impacting our maintenance department whatsoever? >> the structural maintenance yards, their m. and s. funds and labor funding for salaries is separate from this, this is a request we bring to the commission every year to have additional funds to the m. and s. budget to undertake the infrastructure repairs. >> commissioner mazzola: second question would be, who would be performing this new work? not our maintenance people, this would be contracted out, or -- >> this would be -- who is going to be, how is that going to work? >> combination of both. maintenance yard is prepared with these funds to undertake a number of the boiler replacement projects, and then other like the lift station and a couple others would be handled by the operations project managers, and that would be a bid and contract out. to -- specifically your question, we sit down with

commissioner mazzola. >> commissioner mazzola: question on the bid here. i have a sheet that says there was two alternate bids. so was that because there was added scope? >> yeah. we had two bid alternates, one was an upgrade to the glazing to do a -- what's called starfire glass, a clearer glass. and the other was to do some work, irrigation work, to a field adjacent to the facility. if the contract had come in low enough, we would have added them to the contract scope. but it didn't, so we're leaving those out. those were excluded. >> commissioner mazzola: those were excluded, so it's still $14.7, not 896? >> correct. >> commissioner mcdonnell: i recall from previous renovation of a pool there was concern around lap swimmers in change of length. i don't recall right now -- what is the basis of their concern? >> right. historically -- i cannot say all the pools, but the majority of our pools were built in the '50s and they had 100-foot lap lanes. and lap swimmers like having the longer lanes. standard competition length is 75 feet. and so what we are -- w

. >> commissioner mazzola: a few questions. we able to see the subcontractors list? >> yes, it should be in your packet, i believe. >> commissioner mazzola: i didn't see it. maybe i -- ok. wait, i think i found it here. >> attachment d. >> ok. thank you. and secondly, m.l.b.e., is that micro, or is that -- what does the m. stand for? >> we do l.b.e. where are you referring to, commissioner? >> it's on the -- page 70, but i don't know what attachment it is. but -- anyhow. that's not as important as the other questions, so, the -- you said deemed nonresponsive. can you reexplain why again? >> the contract management division looked at the bid and determined that they did not meet the l.b.e. requirement for 14% of the construction work. >> so the bid was basically thrown out? >> they were deemed nonresponsive. >> this had nothing to do -- they did not get a 10% reduction, the bid washr

and so with me tonight is amber mazzola.'s the executive producer of the show, and quite frankly, been my confidant and my friend for over five years. to say we've been to hell and back would be an understatement. we've seen everything you can imagine, and we've chosen one of our favorite episodes to give you an inside look. worldwide trailers designs, builds, and sells concession trailers, mostly to food vendors. tom etheridge and nancy pappas started the company in 2001 and took it from a backyard start-up to a multimillion-dollar business. nancy: you got 50%, i got 50%. lemonis: tom and nancy were a couple, and although their relationship came to an abrupt end three years ago, they have continued to work together. what people don't know about this whole process is that you know everything about the company before i go, and i know nothing about the company other than their name and what they sell. i don't see financials, i don't know what their balance sheet is, i don't know what debt they have. you give me a summary of wh

. >> commissioner mazzola? >> so just to follow up on that, dana. >> yeah. >> so the key holiday weekends this year in '18, the two or three, whatever it is, they're paying you the exact same quote that these people got? >> it's roughly the same. it's -- >> okay. >> yeah, they're both within the same realm. >> and maybe i missed this. sorry if i did. so the fact that they have four or 500 people, there's not a smaller room. >> no. it's a big, open atrium. you can't divvy it up. >> there's no other room? >> no. and the person that came in and asked for this, they said they wanted the works. they said they wanted the theater, as well, and they wanted the rotunda, and that money was no object, and they wanted a quote. so there was a lot of pushing that went on. and they could commit to 2019 under the terms of our agreement. >> and this is a friday or a saturday? >> yeah. i think it's thursday and friday are the key nights, and you can't do multiple because the build to set this big open atrium up, you really can't

. >> commissioner mazzola, thank you. >> in listening to all of this, it seems to me that the gist of this discussion is a dropoff of information somewhere along the line, whether it's the mayor's office or your office, phil, or a combination of both, but there was a dropoff of information. and something of this magnitude, maybe we should have known more about it is what is coming out from this discussion. and this -- to read an article in the paper, you know, i didn't get any calls or questions, but maybe some of my commissioners did, but it could be embarrassing or frustrating to not have answers when an article like this comes out, and they question us about it, and we say i don't know. so i think that needs to be understood, and why that happened with mayor farrell, i don't know. is it a good thing that they're trying to give you more money? yet, but we need to figure out a better line of communication to get it to us before it goes out is my opinion. >> very good. >> commissioner bonilla? >> i think the problem that has arisen from the article that came out in the newspaper and f
