JOSEPH. R. KULA

No one s ever brought that to your

attention?

I read it in one of the recent

deposi tions, but up. until that time, no.Has URS completed all its

construction-phase services in connection with

the proj ect.? And by that I mean hether you

providing as-buil ts -- are there any other

services under your agreement with . the city that

have not been completed?

I. believe the as-builts -- and this

my recollection, I don t believe they ve been

submi tted yet. And we are also working on the

operations and maintenance plan. I believe that

is it, as . best I c n r call.Do you recall at some point in early

2004 URS submitting ' a proposal to the city to

provide claims-assistance services for the

litigation?Yes.

Do you know at what point, if at all,

URS ceased providing claim-assistance services to

the city?MR. GREEN: Obj ect to the


b.l

: JOSEPH R. KULA

form.

THE .WITNESS: I do not.

BY. MR. BOLGER:

Do you know whe.the' . URS is stillproviding claim-assistance service to the c ty?

Not to my' knowledge.

But URS did provide some

claim-assistance services to the city in

connection with this litigation?

Well, I' m trying to think of when the

claims assistance -- when we started to do that.

m not sure if it was before or after the

li tigation.And you don t recall .specifically when

you stopped providing those services?

No, I don

MR. BOLGER: What time do

we have, Jim?
