                    Common Administration of Construction Contracts

Dear John,

This confirms our discussion today about my letter on Apr 4, to Ross Chittenden,. The letter presents a system of Common Administration for managing your construction contracts. With the Bay Bridge project coming up, among many big challenges, Caltrans can lead the way with innovative management that saves dollars and time.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY

Rod Welch
