all four. In order to run the facility at full capacity we need at least 3 pumps and that 4"" one is a spare. So
currently we are without a spare. The reason for requesting the emergency PO because there is an 8 to 9
week lead time on these VFD’s, so we wanted to get the order in sooner than later. We did go out and obtain
quotes. M&M Electrical of Nashua, New Hampshire was the lowest quote. I'll take any questions if you have
any.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Alright, now is Dan Hudson on, if not | can explain this?
Dan Hudson, City Engineer
Yes | am, Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Donchess
OK good. So thank you Mr. Mayor. Dan Hudson, City Engineer. So we are doing a lot of paving in the City but
his program here is more of a preservation method. This is the crack sealing of the roadways. Cracks in the
roadways are problematic because they let water in which rapidly degrades the roadway. So roads that have
not been very recently paved, we need this treatment to extend their life. So this contract is for Seal Coating,
Inc. They have held their pricing from last year. We did add in one pilot program measure this year as part of
the program. We are going to try a fog seal on some of the roads, this is a (inaudible) fog seal. It is clear in
color but helps rejuvenate the pavement and seal the pavement. So we are adding on to this year’s program
as a pilot measure in an effort to kind of expand our pavement preservation toolbox. And I’d be happy to take
any questions.
