Related to Possible action b., as provided in the January 28, 2020 report to the Board, it is important to note that through 2018 and 2019, there have been costly delays associated with the review and approval process required by the four State agencies involved with this project. The project team has had many discussions with these State agencies on the importance of the project and the urgency surrounding it.

To date, the State has been unable commit to a schedule for the RFP approval.
