Finance. Ultimately...those contracts will be signed with <br /> Department of Public Works...is that right? <br /> Mr. Oshiro: Yes. <br /> Mr. Adams: Okay. So in the...if I could just ask in the petition there is the <br /> comment there...multiple workers attending the bid openings...I <br /> don't understand that... if you could explain that to me. I don't <br /> understand what that means. <br /> Mr. Oshiro: Usually there's more than one person opening the bids. You can't <br /> open the bids up. <br /> Mr. Adams: Literally opening the bids. I do understand that. Okay got it. <br /> Mr. Oshiro: Opening a sealed bid so there's no difference if we submit a <br /> sealed...there's more than one person that's going to open it. And <br /> they have more than one contract tech...so my wife won't be the <br /> one opening the bid...if we submit a bid because they already <br /> talked about it before. She can't open our bids...this is all <br /> before...these ethics things came up. <br /> Mr. Adams: Right. <br /> Mr. Oshiro: At one point, supervisor told her she shouldn't be in the bid <br /> openings if we're bidding as a sub which doesn't matter anyway <br /> cause we're just a sub. You're not gonna know who's the general <br /> until after you open the bids. So if we bid as sub, the general <br /> might not even use us as a sub...we only bid to the general...we <br /> would be to the general...you open the general's bids, but you <br /> don't even know which general is going to get the job and you <br /> don't even know which subs the general used. Everything is <br /> sealed bid. <br /> Mr. Adams: I would like to move forward...I think you're going to find that my <br /> concerns are really...that you probably could answer them... I <br /> just...I think that I need to have your wife here to address some of <br /> the questions that I have specifically related to...what her <br /> supervisor requires...what she does within the process...but let me <br /> just ask you a couple more questions that...and this is information <br /> so that I understand the situation. If you are bidding as a sub- <br /> contractor, do you deal with the County at all? Are you <br /> bidding...or are you bidding specifically to the general contractor? <br /> Mr. Oshiro: Straight to the general as a sub-contractor. <br /> 8 <br />
