Is it normal for this 26K such a big difference? We It looks like you guys did the RFP process, so I'm okay with that. You did everything, but the difference between BSC and AMCOM is a $26,000 difference. Is that about normal? >> Yeah, you'll typically see that range of um you'll typically see that range of difference depending on the bidder for the projects and depending on what scale the project, you know, we've seen things from,
002you know, smaller projects where one bidder came in at 96,000 and the next bidder came in at 250,000. And when we see those, we go into the bill of materials. We go into how they've come together to come to that price and kind of go through and dig out like, okay, is everything in your bill of materials? Did you read through our specifications, look at our drawings and do the due diligence to determine that yes, everything inside our scope is covered in your bond or in your your bid project. And then um we present that to Allison and we discuss it. Thank you. That was the answer I was looking for. >> Is there >> um there is and I want to say 3 to 5 years. >> We can get that information for you

Um, that meeting will provide an opportunity to review the numbers in greater detail and answer broader questions. That is what I have at this time. >> Thank you, board treasure. Any questions, trustees? through chair. Um, have we started asking the schools to compile what their uh projected zerobased budget might look like for next school year? >> Actually, those have all been submitted.
