Total estimated cost: $37,660,196 (per year), which includes $310,045 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease of 9,322 hours with this renewal. This decrease is due to a decrease in the overall number of facilities. This corresponds to an increase in the number of facilities in post-closure. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Information Engagement Division.
