Thank you, Madam Chair. The Member is correct; it was a planned shutdown, but that planning, I think, came up earlier in the last fiscal year after the budget was passed. So when the original appropriation for the previous fiscal year was approved by the Assembly, it was anticipated that they would work throughout the whole year. Subsequent to that, the contractor made the determination that they could shut down for the winter and still keep to the schedule and not incur any additional cost by doing so. That’s the reason why it’s a carry-over.
