My next is regarding the Sunnyside plan, um, because this plan seems to be heavily reliant on federal funds. Would we have to adhere solely to the federal DBE program, which recently has been revamped to exclude women and minorities as part of the criteria, or could we use our MWBE program that we currently use to ensure 30% participation?”
