So this company will come in and do all the others. Unfortunately, not a lot of people sell the flame arresters
that we need. It is coming direct from the company. So we are just hiring this other company to come in and
install it for us because they are rather large and out of the capability of our staff?

Alderwoman Kelly

| was just interested, so you are replacing them completely? How long of a life did we get out of the last?

gone out so this is not included in the original bid. This is for extra smoke detectors needed within the duct
work, two extra. They have to be addressable so each smoke detector has to be routed back to the fire alarm
panel at the main entrance. Because of the distance where the smoke detectors are located, the price is
elevated. But this is to meet code.

The amount is $100,000.00 just so you guys know. My question was do we have flaggers in the city you know,
do we have employees as flaggers?

Mayor Donchess

No, the answer is no. No.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright

So every time we see someone holding those flags out there they belong to some other company, they are not
city employees or anything like that?

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you Mr. Mayor, my question would be is this still like a single combination system or are we ever going
to get into splitting it where storm water won't be mixed with the sewer water anymore?
