Thank you. Next item, please. Report from financial management. Recommendation to award a contract to Parsons constructors for as needed professional play administration services in an annual amount not to exceed $280,000 citywide. Mr. West as the in a second face merely talking to get a second please. Can I get a second? Okay. There's a there's a motion and a second. Mr. West, do you have a quick update on this? I have a. Quick update by our purchasing manager, Jason McDonald. Mayor Council members. The item in front of you is for a ward of a contract to support the staff administration of the project labor agreement to Parsons constructors of Pasadena. Following a request for proposals, Parsons response was reviewed by an evaluation panel and determined to have met the required criteria . Additionally, Parsons has prior experience working with the city as well as the building trades and has served as the play administrator for the Port of Long Beach. The team, proposed by Parsons, has extensive experience in working with plays in Los Angeles County. That concludes my comments. I'm available to answer any questions. Thank you. Thank you. Any public comment on the item? CNN members is going to cast your votes. You're not kidding. Do you want a Cuban? Okay. Go ahead, Councilman Ringa. Thank you, Mayor, for regulating me. What? My own. In reviewing the report, I see that there were a number of businesses, women, business owned entities, disadvantaged entities and minority enterprises as well. What is Parsons? Where does it fit? In those categories. Councilmember. I don't I don't know. Off the top of my head, I can look it up here. We probably have it in the report. But I don't know. Because one of the things I want to I've said it before and I want to encourage it again is that we need to be sensitive to minority owned businesses when we do our contracting out. We don't have enough. I don't think we're even close to even 5% or 10% of contractors that do business with the city. And it's a it's going to be an ongoing issue for me as I review these that we make sure that we are addressing our need to hire and contract with women owned businesses, minority owned businesses and enterprises as well as disadvantaged enterprises. So I'm hoping that with this number of applicants that we're there and this one one out. We need to create a better way of being able to identify that we get enough minority women on and disadvantaged businesses into our contract cycle. I'm more like on a pedestal. I'm not one of those. Think accounts. Remember, we had the motion to approve the motion in the second. If I can just please cast your vote on that. Oh. Motion carries.
