ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Hudson.
Mr. Hudson
Thank you Mr. Mayor. So this is the last paving contract-related item today. It is funded through Wastewater
because it is for the castings or the covers for manhole structures in the street that need to be replaced as we
do the paving work. As we do that paving work we replace ones that broke and the non-standard and that sort
of thing. What we found is it is better for us to purchase these in bulk which is what this is, this is purchasing
the materials. And then the contractors install them as part of the paving work that they do. So that’s what this
is, this is purchasing materials. There were some slight changes in unit prices on this contract but within that
10% variation that was described previously.
