specifications of Bus Maintenance Facility/CNG Fueling Facility design. It is estimated to take two
months to complete. This further delays the anticipated completion of the BMF by a few months (now
estimated at May 2012). Continuing to explore options to close the schedule gap between completion
of the RCF (January 2012) and the BMF (May 2012).
