the question was, i understand, related to why is ceqa not centered equity.re trying to be very, very kind of clear and focused on whether a specific task is centered on equity. and the assessment of the environmental planning team is that the ceqa regulations and the processes that they're going through, even though in a particular case like the e.i.4 for the housing element, the entire plan is centered on equity. the environmental review is being -- is being conducted in the same way that they will do any other project. we have conducted -- were conducting at this point regulatory audit to assess how our rules, how our environmental review can most directly address racial and social equity. but in our budget equity tool, we're very drastic on house to classify projects that are centered on equity or not. if they are not primarily center on equity, they are not placed under that list. having said that, in order to implement many component of the housing element, which is a [inaudible] center inequity, we will need an environmental review. and so there's a co

before your presentation, another staff mentioned that ceqa and title review is really not equitable so i'd like to hear more about what are we going to do about that. maybe a little further explanation of what it is that the entight entitlement review is not equity strfrm i know that we're in the identification phase but i would like the hear a follow-up with that. that concludes my comments. >> thank you. commissioner johns? >> yeah. thank you very much. i also join in the other commissioners in the praise of this report and the -- it's a wonderful job that has been done.

a design that's biddable, ceqa certification and an l.b.e. plan are the three main tenants of what would amount to successful procurement. >> i'm going to talk to you all for a second. back to director's lai's questions. what happens when we can't come to terms with the selected proposer. which is $5 million. so in addition to resorting to a best and final offer option, we could call in the bond. the bond, one of the requirements in the r.f.p. is that the proposers sign on to the terms and conditions in this p.d.a. currently as it stands and if they don't, they try to change immaterially, then there's that option. sorry about that. >> that sounds okay. >> that's great. i'm glad you mentioned that. thank you. >> did jonathan want to speak to that also? his hand is up? >> actually, because i think the questions are wrapping up. what i do want to say is i actually appreciate all the questions from the board on this project. this is good due diligence of a major capital program that the m.t.a. is delivering. the questions are appropriate. i think
