ON THE QUESTION
Steve Buxton, Fire Chief
Good evening. Steve Buxton, Chief of Nashua Fire. So this is a result of the infrastructure program for the fire alarm
system. The market as you can imagine for copper wire at this point in time is very volatile. We do have pricing to secure
the materials for around $90,000. The communication you have in front of you is not to exceed 130 because that's how
volatile the market is at this point in time. So we're looking to place this order as expediently as possible so we can lock in
our price.
Chairman Clemons
Anyone have any questions or concerns? If not, you've all heard the motion.
