All right, Madam Secretary, if you please put our the first item on our screens and council member sorry, go ahead with your questions on 167. Thank you. Council President Is there anyone who can talk to me about 167? Thank you. Can you just introduce yourself quickly? Elizabeth Hughes, purchaser for the city and county of Denver. Thank you so much for coming. I still have a. Couple of questions about. This. So as I was reading through the contracts today, I was looking at 166 and 167. So they're essentially exactly the same contracts, two different two different organizations. But the terms are the same. The amounts are doubled, but the length of time is the same. The only thing is kind of different is that on one of them, under the pricing, it says in 167, it says the best market price at the time a request, and then it's dependent on the availability. So I was just a little bit confused about what's going on there. I believe you're talking about the natural sand for Martin Marietta. Yes, this is the sand under Martin Marietta. That is a limited commodity now. And if we had a primary, which aggregate industries is our primary, they can secure the amount that we will need. But because the secondary is for emergency uses only, we cannot secure an amount of how much tons of sand that we will need to create asphalt. Okay, so let me just make sure I wrap my mind around this. So. There's a sands shortage coming. Potentially kind of coming. We are doing research on other alternatives. And so the the $10 million contract, 166, that is the main contract. And so there's a price set for that one because they can for sure get that amount of sand correct. And then. In 167. There is no price set because it's a secondary contract and we're not sure that they can get that amount of sand. It's only going to be used in case for a delivery. Cannot be made by the primary for whatever reason. Okay. And so there is that way. It's the half the price of the other contract, because we're really only looking at the set price of the the rock. Other has got have I believe it's about half because it's going to be only for emergency use and we just need something in place in case the town cannot deliver the goods on time. Okay, perfect. Thank you very much. I don't have any other questions. All right. Thank you, Councilmember. Hold on just a second. We have maybe another one. Yep. Good. Thank you, Mr. President. Just a real quick question. Are you guys in any way connected to the asphalt production at Suncor? I'm going to turn this over to Pat. Awesome. Thank you. Giving in council members. Pat Kennedy, Dottie Ives, Asset Management. Could you repeat that question, please? Is this contract in any way connected to the asphalt that's produced at Suncor? No, this is this. This is material that we use at our plant for the purpose of producing asphalt ourselves. Okay. Thank you. All right. Thank you, Councilmember. All right. See no other questions on this item. We're going to move on to the next one. Madam Secretary, will you please put the next one up? And it looks like this 169. Go ahead, Councilmember.
