noted in the specifications. MassDOT has not yet agreed to any additional funding.

deadline of next week for a decision on financial contribution to the change order.
In discussion future action,the consensus was firing Jacobs as opposed to legal action. Mr. Rafter also
indicated the Airport would reissue the RFQ for engineering services much sooner than the 2020
requirement to do so.
