And there are other limitations that affect the worth of the reports produced by the workshop teams. “Gathering information can be difficult," Mr. Lind noted. “We did arrange to have a telephone available so they could call if they had questions,” But often, the person with the answer is out, and with the deadline of week’s end, the teams may have to proceed with no answer, he explained. “They have to use what they have and use their best judgement."
With six or seven projects being reviewed concurrently by the different teams, ‘Tm not intimately concerned with any of them," said Mr. Lind. “My involvement in any particular project is really pretty superficial. . .My function in the process is to explain value engineering and be sure that it’s being applied to the particular projects. With six or seven at once, I can't become personally involved and personally knowledgeable enough to say, ‘Yes, they covered everything,' or ‘No, they didn’t.' Whether all the recommendations are exactly right, I don't know,” said Mr. Lind, who is one of the FHWA representatives who met with members of Friends of Old Route 211, the group of Rappahannock residents who oppose the highway project.
