Alderman Klee
Yes | am. | am a big proponent of buying local sort to speak. But again | have to say, $129,797.00 up to
$281,193.00 for an Augusta, Maine company | guess it boggles my mind, the difference.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Maybe it is travel time.
Mr. LaFleur
| was just going to joke with that and say apparently they like to get their travel money in. This company has
been doing it for a lot of years for the City and they right on par even including with all the new PFOA testing
that has to be done.

ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Hudson | believe is still here.
Mr. Hudson
Yes, Mr. Mayor. Dan Hudson, City Engineer. So Mr. Mayor's memo here describes it very well but we had a
resident at 116 Allds Street that had emergency sewer issue. The Ordinances are such that for one and two
family homes, if there’s an issue in the right of way that the City will address that for the homeowner. So that
was the case here. This was a very deep sewer service. So we required contracting it because it was
something that our Street Department couldn’t handle and we needed to do it quickly obviously when the
sewer is not working that’s a huge problem. So we did that, we contract with Crisp Contracting. They are a
local company and do an excellent job for us in such situations.
