and also, tita under who an existing moa is reimbursing for any costs that are not covered by the federal and state funds, they have been the primary match during the phase during the prelim engineering and design and once it blew into construction and right away it turns over to the federal and state for 100 percent reimbursementbility and once again, we will administer this contract and we being the transportation authority. so, let's just look at this schedule, psand e, certification, being plan specs and estimates and right-of-way, that is the time frame right here in march where we are seeking construction approval this month in the last week of march to meet the funding deadline and we will be back in the may time frame to execute tida memo of agreement for the right-of-way construction phases and also to provide a recommendation for construction management consultant to serve as the construction management. >> and our intent is to advertise the construction this sum ner in 2013, and will award in late 2013 and to start construction by early 2014. construction will take approximatel
