I was just informed that I've been awarded an $830,000.00 bid.

[Lochloosa]

This will save my job and others at our company for at least the next 6 months.

I was second on the bid a few weeks ago. They threw out the low bidder. Bonding companies love that.

24. It's not a stimulus project by any chance? Congrats, good news! n/t

[Lochloosa]

29. It's not. But I think it has a great chance of being awarded because of the money coming in.

It's a school board job in South Florida and they really want to do this.

[Lex]

25. Is it stim money?

Are things starting to move again?

Congrats!

[Lochloosa]

30. No...see above
