the new irvington tunnel is just over 50% complete. we have encountered a number of challenges with the project. we had to excavate through rock material that was much harder than what was documented in the contract. the work was also reclassified by calosha, and that is where a lot of the cost impact came from. there was also a need to control a significant amount of ground water -- groundwater seepage, and that is what impact the schedule the most. this commission authorized the general manager to approve schedule extensions of to 400 days, and the schedule extension we are seeking your approval for today includes officially the 400 days as well as an extension of the closeout period to a six-month timeline, which is standard on our projects. the cost increase -- $4.7 million of the $6.5 million is direct, hard construction costs. the increase is required to be able to provide the project management and construction management services needed for the completion of the project. the bay division pipeline project is now 90% complete. th
