"I want to extend my appreciation for Stacy Witbeck's efforts in achieving substantial completion of the Steel Bridge Connection ahead of schedule. This was a very complex piece of work at the heart of the MAX system, and the performance of your construction team was exceptional. It is truly a pleasure to work with such a professional team."
