ORDER CORRECTING SCRIVENER'S ERROR IN RECOMMENDED ORDER


The Department of Transportation filed an emergency motion for clarification bringing to the attention of the undersigned a scrivener's error in his Recommended Order of December 28, 2004. As suggested by the Department, paragraph 41 of said Order is incorrect and should read as follows:


41. While the evidence shows that the Department issued a Letter of Concern to Petitioner and that the Department employees or representatives involved with the construction on the I-95/I-295 Southern Interchange project may have personal "dislike" or "animus" toward Petitioner or its corporate officers, Richard Kelly and Jack Palmer, these factors do not change the impression that the rejection of all the bids on the JTB project was for any reason other than safety concerns over the MOT plans.


Paragraph 41 of the Recommended Order dated December 28, 2004, is hereby correct as indicated.


DONE AND ENTERED this 14th day of January, 2005, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida.
