we have 52 mechanical employees and another 108 employees at our back shop in beach grove, indiana. and i expect the workforce at these two facilities will be returning the first of the m-fleet cars to service in the middle of july. the first of superliners by the end of july. at the end of july, we intend to award the contract for a team of regional project managers who will manage a slate of 394 projects with a total dollar value of $636 million across the country. many of these projects will be relatively small and they will be excellent candidates for small business set-asides. regional managers will oversee the effort and our expectation is that they'll achieve the goals of expanding the outreach and relationships with small business and disadvantaged business enterprises. we've built a procurement website. procurement amtrak.com. i should note that some of the $1.3 billion that amtrak is investing will lay critical groundwork and provide long-term benefits for the development of highspeed rail. the $10 million we're investing in positive train control on our michigan line. the

grove, indiana. that is about 108 jobs there. we started producing the cars out of there in mid-july. some of them are now charged back yet. so there are actually more dollars out there that are in the works, but people have not charged respect for the parts and so on and so forth. some of the big projects, like the nine antic bridge, we see about another $190 million worth of projects. at the same time, we have a lot of very small projects that need specific management. we have a list of those on our website. many of them have to do with stations and improvements to under 8ada. many of them will make it easier for our customers to use our service. you will see that rapidly in the next few months. >> beech grove station facility, if it were not for the chairman working with the members of that area, we are talking about major downsizing and sending people to delaware, now that we have the funds for fixing the facility, we did our job. i think that is the way it should work. >> yes, ma'am. >> thank yo
