LCM: Yes. Ms. Oropallo, could you describe for us what you did for the County in your <br />engineering capacity? Did you work on those Brown and Caldwell programs? You <br />mentioned something about loan applications, but what other kinds of things did you do? <br />OROPALLO: For those two projects, that was actually the majority of it, as far as loan <br />applications, which was basically general project description is to apply for <br />loans to fund the projects. And then basically those two projects, the Honokaa <br />Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Kealakehe Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades. <br />Those projects hadn't really started yet in terms of I guess plan preparation, or even <br />planning reports. So I never really had reviewed any of the information for those. They <br />were sort of in their infancy stage, prior to me leaving the County. <br />L U11 : Okay, thank you. <br />OROPALLO: Sure. <br />NICHOLSON: I have a question. This is Marilyn Nicholson <br />L UM: -- Louder, I think. <br />NICHOLSON: Can you hear me? <br />OROPALLO: Hello? No, I <br />NICHOLSON: - -You cannot hear me? <br />OROPALLO: I can hear you if you could speak up maybe a little, tiny bit more. <br />NICHOLSON: Okay. Can you hear me now? Can you hear me all right now? <br />OROPALLO: Yes. <br />NICHOLSON: All right. Now I've forgotten what I was going to ask. <br />OROPALLO: Sorry. <br />LCM: Probably the consultant selection? <br />NICHOLSON: Yes, I want to ask you you said you were a member of the committee <br />that selected the consultants, and was that done through a regular RFP process? <br />OROPALLO: No, I believe that was like a professional services contract. It's done by <br />committee. There wasn't an RFP issued. It's just based on this statement of <br />qualifications. <br />NICHOLSON: So you weren't selecting among various firms who had submitted a <br />proposal? <br />12 <br />
