I’m aware of a situation that is under review right now that we will have to look at. But the process would be, and we have in quite a number of cases found out, that when we’ve gone out for tender or RFP, that the numbers come in substantially higher than we’d budgeted. Departments then would have to decide if they go back to the drawing board and change the original request; either construction or equipment or material that’s being requested or they go to negotiate with the low bid to see if they can work within that environment. Usually something does change before it goes back out, but I’m aware that this particular situation is under review.
