When We Estimated Our Funding Requirements Related to the Cares Act Grant We Under-budgeted PM Related Expenses. We Did This Because We Were Afraid of Not Having Enough Funding for Salaries and Employee Benefits During the Pandemic. Our Strategy Worked as We Have Kept Our Employees Employed and on Our Benefit Plan Throughout the Majority of Time During the Pandemic However It Has Caused Us to Be Under-funded as It Relates to Our PM Budget.when We Budgeted for a Bus Electrical Upgrade We Did Anticipated That We Were Going to Change Dpims on 13-14 Buses Over the Course of One Year. in Reality We Just Havent Seen the Failure Rate That We Were Expected to See So We Feel That Keeping This Level of Funding Within This Project Is Unnecessary.
