Item 5 – Information Only/King County Metro Long Range Plan Updates:
Lacey Jane Wolfe, Senior Transportation Planner introduced Stephen Hunt from the King
County Department of Transportation. Hunt gave an update on Metro’s Long Range Plan. In
drafting this update, Metro is anticipating the needs of King County through 2040. Major
features of the plan include integration of bus and rail, expanded RapidRide, and more transit
options.
Ms. Wolfe noted that Kent staff provides input into the plan through Metro’s Technical
Advisory Committee. In December of 2015, Mayor Cooke provided comments on the draft
preliminary concept for King County Metro service. In the comment letter, the Mayor
emphasized the need for east-west connections as well as alternative services to serve Kent’s
population.
Mr. Hunt went on to state that Metro and Sound Transit are working on a long range plan
with One Vision across King County. They are focusing on the right types of transit or
alternative services to meet local needs. Increasing mobility is not just about increasing the
amount of fixed route service. Metro Connects will increase Metro’s capacity to integrate with
more options. And they will use technology to help break down the barriers that keep people
from using transit including integrated, cashless fare payment. A strong partnership with
cities is needed in order to make the program a success.

Item 9 - Information Only/Update on Construction Projects:
Chad Bieren, City Engineer noted that it will be a very busy construction season with over
$15 million so far this season for capital projects out of our office. You will see a lot of activity
over the season. We will be updating the committee on projects throughout the season.
James Street Pump Station, Street Overlay and Planting Project – There will be a 10
day closure of James Street after school ends this summer from Jason to the top of the
hill.
South 72nd Avenue Improvements – This project will complete the roadway. There will
be some fill work done in the coming months. The project is anticipated to be
completed by the end of 2017.
Upper Russell Road South Reach Levee Projects – Started last summer had to shut
down late last fall due to the weather. We are working to finish up the project in the
next 6 – 8 weeks.
Titus Ave & Titus – City crews are replacing some asphalt slabs that have been there
for almost 80 years, detour signs are up and work should be completed by the end of
next week.
Central Avenue - A letter is going out to local property owner’s night work 16” water
line installation, paving to be done in the next 6-8 weeks. Information can be found on
the Kent web at www.DriveKent.org as well as on Facebook and Kent E-Alerts.
Every effort will be made to keep everyone aware of upcoming projects.

Item 10 - Information Only/Pacific Highway Landscape Project:
Chad Bieren, City Engineer gave a brief update on the Pacific Highway Landscape project he
noted that Council will have the opportunity to award the Pacific Highway bid tomorrow.
Bid includes replanting between 272nd and 240th. Planters to the north of 240th were taken
out of the bid because Sound Transit ST2/Highline will be coming right through that area. The
bids came in at $1,038,000 about $60,000 more than the whole project was estimated. We
will be requesting an additional $160,000 dollars for the project. Public Works Director, Tim
LaPorte noted the remaining amount could come out of existing B&O funds. He stated that
staff knew we would come in very close on the bids and decided to go ahead and move
forward. Higgins said he is sure there will be many questions tomorrow and would like to see
this project move forward.

Watershed Management Fund and King County Waterworks Grant Program are being used to
cover construction costs. This project has been planned, designed and permitted over the
past 10-years on property purchased (with other grant funds) specifically for this purpose.
The project will include 43 woody structures and 51,000 trees and shrubs which are being
grown in-house at a savings.
INFORMATION ONLY/NO MOTION REQUIRED
Item 12 - Information Only/Quiet Zone Update:
Chad Bieren, City Engineer noted the estimated cost to complete the Quiet Zone is
$1,500,000. Council authorized staff to look into forming a Local Improvement District (LID)
to complete the Quiet Zone, but staff needed to estimate the total project cost first. Bieren
stated that staff is working on putting together funding options as a LID may not be the best
option for completing the project. Committee members asked if staff could put together a list
and break the list down into individual cost and how we could fund each item. For example, a
list of each intersection, what it would cost and what are the possible funding options. Bieren
stated that we have this information and will bring to committee at a later date.
Bieren noted that there are opportunities to complete some of the work, most notably fencing
through downtown, via safety grants from the UTC which could save about $20,000-$30,000.
Assuming that Council proceeds with the Quiet Zone, staff would pursue these and any other
available grants to offset the cost of implementation.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:29 p.m.

Item 5: Surplus of Materials - Public Utility Funds
Summary: Through daily operations, the utility maintenance crews accumulate used
copper and brass fittings, pipe, wiring, and water meters. We have approximately
4,000 pounds of copper and brass that have a monetary value when recycled. Many of
the water components have lead levels that no longer meet federal safety standards.
In addition, our SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system has been
upgraded over the last few years and the back-up generators have been replaced with
diesel powered units that are more reliable and maintain a longer running time than
the obsolete propane generators.
RCW 35.94.040 requires that the city council hold a public hearing and adopt a
resolution to declare public utility equipment as surplus and to establish the condition
for disposition of the equipment that is in the best public interest.
Exhibits: List of Surplus Items
Recommendation: A resolution will be provided to authorize the Public Works
Director to dispose of the equipment as surplus and in the manner that best meets the
public interest.
Note: Highest bidder for scrap, return to vendor for credit, and or auction.
Motion: Move to recommend Council set a Public Hearing at its May 16,
2016 meeting to consider comments on the declaration of certain public
utility equipment and materials as surplus, subject to final terms and
conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and Public Works Director.

Phone: 253-856-5500
Date: April 28, 2016
To: Public Works Committee Members
From: Steve Craigue, Warehouse Supervisor
Through: Ron Green, Fleet Superintendent
Regarding: Utility Materials Surplus -2016
The following is a brief explanation as to why we are disposing of the attached list of
materials.
The items that are marked “lead,” are brass Water department fittings that contain
lead. The use of which has been banned since the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water
Act was enacted on January 4, 2011 and became effective on January 4, 2014. In
order to be in compliance, we removed these items from our inventory and replaced
them with no lead, (or low lead) fittings that meet the requirements of the Reduction
of Lead in Drinking Water Act.
The items that are marked “obsolete”, are no longer being used, or have been
replaced with less costly, more usable inventory. Other items have missing parts that
are no longer available.
The large diameter ductile iron pipe (damaged) is out-of-round, from being stacked on
itself for thirty-plus years, and is no longer usable.
The generators, propane tanks, and transfer switch, have been replaced with newer
diesel powered units that have longer run times. There has also been some damage to
the wiring (by rodents), making repairs inefficient.
As in the past, these items will be disposed of in the best interest of the City. This
may be by auction, or through a bid process with scrap dealers.

Re: Proposal for Geotechnical and Environmental
Services During Construction
72nd Avenue South Extension
Kent, Washington
Dear Mr. Langholz:
This letter presents Landau Associates’ proposed scope of services and associated cost estimate for
geotechnical and environmental services during construction of the 72nd Avenue South Extension
project in Kent, Washington. Our proposed scope of services is based on our review of the project
plans for the proposed road extension; our general understanding of the project requirements and
construction schedule; and our familiarity with similar construction projects.
Project Understanding
The project includes constructing a new bridge across Mill Creek, which crosses the west side of the
Western Processing property in Kent, Washington. The proposed bridge will consist of a single-span
concrete bridge that will be supported on ground that will be improved using compaction grout
columns. The proposed project will also include pre-loading soft site soils, widening the existing road,
relocating/installing utilities, and modifications to certain Western Processing site features.
Proposed Scope of Services
The purpose of our services will be to provide geotechnical and environmental observation, testing,
and consultation services during earthwork and foundation-related construction activities for the
project. Our services will assist the City of Kent in determining that geotechnical-related construction
work related to site grading and foundation support is accomplished in general accordance with our
recommendations and the requirements of the project plans and specifications. Our proposed
services and associated estimated cost are based predominantly on part-time site visits that focus on
certain elements of the project. Our proposed scope of services includes the tasks described below.
27
Review of Project Plans and Specifications
Landau Associates has completed a review of the project plans and specifications that were prepared
by others for the project. The purpose of our review w as to familiarize our field representatives with
the geotechnical- and environmental-related sections of the project plans and specifications and
associated project requirements. Costs for the project plans and specification review have previously
been invoiced to the City and therefore, are not included in this proposal.
Observation Related to Utility Trench Backfill and Compaction
Landau Associates will provide a representative to observe backfill and compaction activities
associated with the installation of onsite utilities. The purpose of our services will be to document
that utility trench backfill is placed and compacted in general accordance with the requirements of
the project plans and specifications. We based our cost estimate on an assumed 8 site visits at 4 hours
each.
Observation Related to Environmental Conditions
Landau Associates will provide a representative to observe modifications to the following existing
Western Processing features; relocation of utilities to treatment plant, the removal of the existing
extraction U1 vault and replacement with a traffic rated manhole, extension of extraction well U2
vault to final roadside slope grade, extension of well vaults (5M4A,B and well pair RP28 and P26), and
installation and replacement of the western portion of the Western Processing perimeter fence. Prior
to removal of U1 vault, the environmental conveyance piping and electrical components will be
removed by Western Processing contractors. Upon completion of a U1 feeder vault, the control
components will be reinstalled by Western Processing contractors. Subcontractor costs for extraction
well U1 are not included in this cost estimate. We based our cost estimate on an assumed 4 site visits
at 8 hours each.
Landau Associates will provide environmental services associated with characterizing potentially
contaminated soils with excavation along the southern portion of the project and the bridge
foundation excavations. If excessive surface water containments are required in areas of known
shallow soil contamination, we will collect representative samples for analytical testing and
communicate results to the City for disposal coordination. We based our cost estimate on an assumed
4 site visits at 4 hours each for sampling, and 2 hours for each laboratory package for office labor to
compare data to disposal criteria and/or cleanup level and communicate findings to client. For the
purposes of this proposal, we assume a maximum of 10 soil samples and 2 water samples for chemical
analyses. Analytical testing will be conducted on a 2 week turn-around-time, with the exception of a
maximum of four bridge abutment foundation samples at an expedited 3 day turn-around-time, at a
Washington State certified laboratory.
28
Well Decommissioning or Maintenance
During site grubbing activities at the Bayside Automotive property (northern portion of project), a
total of 15 aboveground monitoring wells were located. Landau Associates has completed a site
reconnaissance of the wells to determine their condition and location. Based on the field observations
and available well logs, a total of six of the wells are located within the footprint of the proposed
roadway and are recommended for decommissioning. At the request of the City, Landau Associates
conducted Holocene Drilling Inc. to develop a cost estimate and schedule to either decommission the
wells or raise the wells to the proposed road grade. Well decommissioning or maintenance will be
conducted using the existing contract with Scarsella Brothers Inc. The labor for conducting the site
reconnaissance and coordination with the drilling company has been completed and invoiced to the
City and therefore, are not included in this proposal. We estimate a nominal amount of labor to
continue to support the well activities and documenting activities, per Washington State Department
of Ecology requirements.
Observation of Compaction Grouting Activities
Landau Associates’ field representative will observe compaction grouting activities prior to the
placement of the preload. The purpose of these observations is to verify the effectiveness and
adequacy of the soil improvement methods in general accordance with the requirements of the
project plans and specifications. We based our cost estimate on an assumed 25 site visits at 8 hours
each.
Observation of Preload Placement and Settlement Monitoring Review
Landau Associates’ field representative will observe placement of the preload material, as well as
review the settlement monitoring data. The purpose of these observations is to verify the
effectiveness and adequacy of the soil improvement methods in accordance with the plans and
specifications. We based our cost estimate on an assumed 5 site visits at 8 hours each and 5 site visits
at 4 hours each.
Observation of Bridge Foundation Subgrades
Landau Associates’ field representative will observe bridge foundation subgrades prior to the
placement of reinforcing steel and concrete. The purpose of these observations is to verify subgrade
conditions and the adequacy of the exposed soil to support the foundation loads in accordance with
the design allowable soil bearing pressures. We based our cost estimate on an assumed 4 site visits at
4 hours each.
Observation and Testing Related to Pavement Subgrades
Landau Associates’ field representative will observe pavement subgrades prior to the placement of
base course and surfacing materials to confirm that dense and non-yielding soils are present. Landau
29
Associates’ field representative will also test the density of the base course materials beneath paved
areas. We assumed 8 site visits at 4 hours each.
Grout, Reinforced Concrete, and Asphalt Concrete Observation and
Testing
The City of Kent has requested that Landau Associates coordinate and oversee grout, reinforced
concrete, and asphalt concrete testing services. Landau Associates will provide office coordination
services; however, the grout, reinforced concrete, and asphalt concrete testing services will be
conducted by Construction Testing Laboratories (CTL) under subcontract to Landau Associates. Based
on their review of the project specifications, CTL estimated that a budget of approximately $10,270
will be required to conduct grout, reinforced concrete, and asphalt concrete testing services. For the
purpose of estimating costs, Landau Associates assumes t he cost to coordinate and manage CTL’s
work will be equal to 5 percent of their estimated budget.
CTL’s cost estimate is based on the following assumptions:
Item
Technician
Hours
Test Specimens Trip Charges
Concrete / Rebar 40 40 Compressive Strength Tests 16
Grout Columns 60 60 Compressive Strength Tests 24
Asphalt Concrete 25 2 Rice Densities and 2 Extractions / Gradations 3
Geotechnical Laboratory Testing
Landau Associates will perform laboratory testing on materials used as site grading fill, structural fill,
trench backfill, and base course materials to confirm they meet specifications. Landau Associates will
perform grain-size testing on proposed fill materials to verify compliance with project plans and
specifications. For the purpose of this proposal, we assume that a maximum of 5 grain size analyses
and 5 optimum moisture/maximum dry density tests (Proctors) will be performed.
Report Preparation and Submittal
During construction, our onsite representative and CTL’s representative will prepa re daily field reports
after each site visit. A copy of the daily field reports will be transmitted to the City, the contractor,
and others as directed. At the completion of the project, a summary report of the construction
observation and testing services performed will be prepared. The summary report will include an
evaluation of the suitability of the work was conducted in general accordance to the project plans and
specifications.
30
Attend Construction Meetings
Landau Associates’ field representative wil l attend weekly construction meetings, as needed. We
based our cost estimate on the following meeting schedule:
One month of weekly meetings to be attended by two representatives of Landau Associates
(one geotechnical and one environmental representative)
Two months of weekly meetings to be attended by one representatives of Landau Associates
Six months of one meeting per month to be attended by one representatives of Landau
Associates.
Project Management
Landau Associates’ project manager will provide project review and geotechnical and environmental
consultation related to the tasks outlined above. Our fee estimate assumes that the Landau
Associates project manager will spend up to about 3 hours per week (on average) during
geotechnical- and environmental-related construction phases of the project. For estimating purposes,
we have assumed the majority of our services will span a period of about 20 weeks. Project
management tasks would include coordinating field monitoring site visits, reviewing certain
geotechnical related submittals from the contractor, reviewing and routing field reports, reviewing
density test results, and addressing geotechnical and environmental issues that may arise.
Assumptions
The services rendered by our field representative and our office will consist of professional opinions
and recommendations made in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
practices and environmental considerations. Under no circumstances would it be the intent of our
field representative to directly control the physical activities of the contractor or the contractor’s
workers. The presence of our field representative at the site is to provide to the owner and design
team a source of professional opinion and advice based on the field repres entative’s observations of
the contractor’s work. Our services do not include any superintending, supervision, or direction of the
contractor’s workers. Any construction review of the contractor’s performance is not intended to
include review of the adequacy of the contractor’s safety measures in, on, or near the construction
site. In accordance with generally accepted construction practices, the contractor will be solely and
completely responsible for working conditions at the job site, including safety of persons and property
during performance of the work. It is assumed that construction is planned to begin no sooner than
early April 2016, and is expected to continue for about 12 months. It is also assumed that the City will
have a full time inspector on-site for the duration of the project.
31
Cost Estimate
We estimate the cost for our proposed scope of services will be about $123,150 in general accordance
with the following breakdown:
Review of Project Plans and Specifications $ 0.00
Observation Related to Utility Trench Backfill and Compaction $ 5,250
Observation Related to Environmental Conditions (includes $4,850 in
subcontractor fees) $ 18,800
Well Decommissioning or Maintenance $ 1,000
Observation of Compaction Grouting Activities $ 31,600
Observation of Preload Placement and Settlement Data Review $ 9,200
Observation of Bridge Foundation Subgrades $ 3,400
Observation and Testing Related to Pavement Subgrades $ 10,400
Grout, Reinforced Concrete, and Asphalt Concrete Observation and
Testing (includes $10,270 in subcontractor fees $ 12,075
Geotechnical Laboratory Testing $ 1,425
Attend Construction Meeting $ 14,500
Report Preparation and Submittal $ 6,000
Project Management $ 9,500
Estimated Total $ 123,150
We propose to provide our above-described services on a time-and-expenses basis according to the
budget set forth above and on the attached compensation schedule. We prepared our cost estimate
to reflect our understanding of the project requirements and our anticipated role in geotechnical- and
environmental related project elements. However, uncertainty exists about the construction methods,
schedule, and sequence, all of which have a direct effect on the level of effort and the cost for
geotechnical services during construction. Consequently, the costs for the various tasks outlined
herein could vary substantially from those estimated. If the construction schedule requires that our
representative be onsite for time durations other than those estimated herein, we will contact you to
32
discuss project requirements and any necessary modifications to our scope of services and/or budget
estimate.
Authorization
Our services will be provided in accordance with the amendment to the 72nd Avenue South Extension
Consultant Services Agreement (dated April 15, 2015). To provide authorization to proceed, please
sign in the space provided and return one copy of this letter, or authorize by your preferred method.
Landau Associates appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal and we look forward to
continuing to working with the City of Kent on this project. If you have any questions or comments
regarding this proposal, please call us at (425) 778-0907.

SOURCE(S): Washington State Department of Transportation
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Kent Kangley Road (SR 516) is one of the most densely
populated corridors in the City. The section from 104th Ave SE
to 124th Ave SE is a congested Principal Arterial with a
surrounding mixed-use context. It is also a designated truck
route and currently operates at a Level of Service (LOS) E
during the PM Peak. The majority of housing along this portion
of SR 516 is high-density multifamily that generates a
substantial amount of pedestrian traffic. This section of Kent
Kangley is a high boarding area for transit and a popular
destination for senior citizens due to the high concentration of
shopping facilities, banks, medical offices and senior housing.
The project area includes two of the highest collision incident
locations in the City (104th Avenue SE at 256th Street and 116th

SOURCE(S): Transportation Improvement Board, Regional Fire Authority,
City of Kent
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: Continued development in the northern Kent industrial area, and
high levels of congestion along West Valley Highway between
the South 180th Street and South 196th Street corridors,
mandate additional north-south arterial capacity. This project
provides some relief for South 180th Street, South 196th Street,
and South 212th Street intersections along West Valley Highway.
It also provides improved access to the South 196th Street
corridor from industrial development along 72nd Avenue South
by constructing the missing link between South 200th Street and
South 196th Street. This roadway connection provides a direct
link from the existing Fire Station on 72nd Avenue South to the
196th Street grade separated corridor over both the BNSF and
UPRR mainline railroad tracks, dramatically improving
emergency response times to a large area of the Kent
Manufacturing/Industrial Center and warehouse land uses.

PROJECT #5: Traffic Control Signal System
Citywide
PROJECT TYPE: Operations
YEAR: 2017 expected completion
DESCRIPTION: Purchase and install a master signal controller unit capable of
supporting flashing yellow left turn arrow (FYLTA) displays for
permitted left turns. This project will also purchase and install
traffic signal controllers for up to 29 individual intersections.
Traffic signals will be modified at up to 14 intersections to
display FYLTA signal indications for permissive left turn
movements.
PROJECT COST: Preliminary Engineering ........... $5,000
Right of Way Acquisition ................ $0
Construction ..................... $392,000
TOTAL ............................. $397,000
Funded .............................. $397,000
FUNDING
SOURCE(S): Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The current central traffic signal control system is not
compatible with flashing yellow left turn arrow displays for
permissive left turn movements. This type of signal display has
been demonstrated to be much more readily understood by
motorists and has resulted in reduced collision rates involving
vehicles turning left during permissive left turn signal phases.
The upgrade to the legacy central control system and more
advanced intersection traffic signal controllers will allow greater
operation flexibility and improved transportation system
efficiency.

FUNDING
SOURCE(S): City of Kent, Local Improvement District, Transportation
Improvement Board
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The existing roadway system cannot accommodate the current
or forecast east-west traffic volumes between Kent’s East Hill
and the Green River Valley floor. In order to meet
transportation concurrency requirements of the Growth
Management Act, additional east-west vehicle capacity is
required. Intersections along South 208th/212th Street and
James/Southeast 240th Streets are also at or over capacity.
Because of existing development and topographic constraints, it
is not feasible to widen the James/Southeast 240th Street and
South 208th/212th Street ‘corridors’ enough to accommodate
forecast traffic volumes without additional east-west capacity.

JUSTIFICATION: The traffic signals in the recently annexed area of Panther Lake
are not connected to the City’s central traffic signal control
system; hence, they cannot be remotely monitored or managed
from the City’s Traffic Management Center. The intersection
controllers are not capable of displaying flashing yellow left turn
arrow for permissive left turn movements. This type of signal
display has been demonstrated to be much more readily
understood by motorists and has resulted in reduced collision
rates involving vehicles turning left during permissive left turn

SOURCE(S): City of Kent (Solid Waste Utility Tax, Business and Occupation Tax)
PROJECT
JUSTIFICATION: The City assessed the condition of its street network in 2011. It was
found that many of the streets exhibit deficiencies that reflect they are
beyond their expected performance life and in need of a maintenance
or rehabilitation overlay, or some amount of reconstruction. Moreover,
historically, the amount of pavement resurfacing, rehabilitation, and
reconstruction monies the City has budgeted each year has been
insufficient to address the deficiencies of its street network.
Insufficient budgets to perform this necessary work results in more
expensive maintenance and rehabilitation options.

Kent offers free water testing for pre-1940’s homes
after lead turns up in Tacoma sampling
KENT, Wash. – April 26, 2016 - Providing safe drinking water is paramount to
the city of Kent, and Kent’s water is very safe, says water superintendent Sean
Bauer.
Lead-contaminated water has garnered a lot of media attention in recent months.
While the news originated in Flint, Michigan, it moved closer to home last week
when Tacoma Water found elevated levels of lead in service lines to four homes.
According to Bauer, the culprit in Tacoma appears to be short sections of lead
“gooseneck” pipes that were used to connect a water main to a water service line.
This was common practice pre-1940, but Bauer says they are not used today.
“Lead does not typically come from the source water. It’s important for Kent’s
water customers to know that in the last 10 years of annual testing; there have
been NO detectable levels of lead found in source water. Lead in drinking water
usually comes from the corrosion of lead-containing plumbing fixtures, or the solder
that connects copper pipes,” Bauer said.
Lead-based solder was banned in 1986, but small amounts of lead can still be found
in many brass plumbing fixtures and can slowly dissolve into water after standing in
pipes for a long time.
Ground water and surface water from the Green River are the sources of Kent’s
water system. These sources are treated with sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and
aeration to raise the pH, which makes it less corrosive on plumbing and reduces the
amount of lead that can dissolve into the drinking water.
“In light of the discovery in Tacoma, Kent is inventorying homes constructed prior
to 1940 within its water service area for any lead gooseneck pipes. From this
inventory, we’ll cross-reference for homes whose service lines have not already
been replaced.
“The plan and schedule for this work may take some time, so we appreciate
customer patience as we work through this process,” said Bauer. “I don’t expect to
find many, if any at all. During the last 12 years, we’ve only had two locations
where a section of lead pipe was found.”
Kent is offering its water customers whose homes were built prior to 1940 water
testing at no cost.
91
If homes were built after 1940, but prior to 1986, Bauer offers the following tips to
reduce possible lead in your water:
If water has been sitting in your homes plumbing for over 6-hours, flush the
tap before you use, drink, or cook with it. Run the water until it is noticeably
cooler. Collect the water in a pitcher or jug and use it to water plants.
Bathing or showering is not a concern.
Always use the cold water tap for cooking or drinking – warm water can be
more corrosive than cold water.
Never make baby formula or other drinks or food for children from the hot
water tap. Use water from the cold water tap (after flushing) and warm it if
necessary.
Kent’s water utility customers are encouraged to call 253-856-5600 or email
pwops@KentWA.gov to schedule a test, or share questions or concerns about water
quality.
Kent residents who have water service through Highline Water District, Soos Creek
Water District and Water District 111 should contact those utilities directly with
questions or concerns.
