My recommenda on based on prior emails and conversa ons is to no fy them to hold off on the kick off since no PO has been generated. Make them aware of the concern with no performance bond being in the contract, ask them to hold un l new CTO is on board January 2nd to proceed, if they have objec ons or concerns that we tell them we will cancel contract and put back out to bid but that we need to protect the districts investment. I don’t mind communica ng that to them if you all think that is advisable. At the minimum, holding off on the project kickoff un l a PO is actually generated. Thoughts?
