At the time of bid, JDB’s Section 00 43 36 reflected a LBE subcontracting participation commitment of 21.05%. JDB was awarded the contract in the amount of $3,898,770.00. At closeout, the final contract amount is $3,637,490.70. JDB’s LBE subcontracting participation commitment is as follows:

Based on the foregoing, CMD concurs with the closeout of this contract.
