. >> afternoon mr. wong. >> howard wong, savingmuni.com. half of my career has been overseeing large city projects; i am aware of the problems that projects can fortell at any point in the project. with the award of the tutor perini contract, the project report dated may 16, 2013, will drop the central subway contingency to 65 million dollars, or approximately 4% of the project cost. when the federal requirement at this point according to the fta is 10%, or 160 million. but - savemuni.com analysis indicates that perhaps this is even worse than it seems based on records that we have obtained the contingency might be closer to 3%. given the fact that major construction of tunneling and station deep excavation has not started at this point of the project is prudent to have large contingencies for project with high risk as the fta acknowledges. in 2009, the fta recommended a contingency of 20%, 330 million dollars. the report they wrote in 2009, they said there was an 80% chance this project would cost 2 billion or a 420 million contingency. in
