4. 9:00 Welcome9:05 Opening Remarks9:15 Where we are now9:30 Business Enterprise Outreach9:45-10:30 Technical Issues/Changes since May 13, 20021030-1045 Break10:45-1:00 Open discussion with contractors regarding above mentioned issues

5. SFOBB Project Manager Heavy Civil Construction Contractors Fabricators, Suppliers Who are we?

6. meeting is mechanism to inform the contracting community of the upcoming SAS Superstructure and In Bay foundation contracts. meeting is a way to create a dialogue with contractors, especially on issues of concern. for example we heard at May 13, 2002 workshop, mobilization payment for an "over the water" job does allow an acceptable cash flow for primes. We effected a change to the Public Contract Code for jobs of $25 millionover water Why are we here?

7. PowerPoint Meeting notes Handouts Tools
