You have like a timeline, you think, realistic?

26:34 – 27:02•Joshua Jackson

Brad, just to be clear, and I think there was something that Harry had mentioned, just in terms of the types of performance that has led to spills and things like that, That's unacceptable, right? And we have identified that. That was part of what you were talking about in terms of meeting with the bonding agency, having taken clear and significant action to communicate to the contractor that this is their last strike and that this is not tolerable. It's not something being taken lightly by the city.
