Charlie Duggan Money Quotations

We are anticipating between $5 to 7 million for the cost and originally estimated it costing about $4.8 million. We also think that with all the constructing activity with (Hurricane) Katrina that we are anticipating higher prices, just not sure how high they might be. We might have to shift money from other projects if the reconstruction costs more than our expected expense.

We'll meet with the council and let them know how much the bids are for and how much the interchange will cost. If the bids are outrageous, say $15 million, that's when we'll have to go back to the drawing board because we couldn't draw that much extra money from other projects.
