2 YEAR CONTRACT FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICES WITH ABILITY TO EXTEND FOR 3 1-YEAR TERMS FOR GULF COAST ELECTRIC AND ELECTRIAL FIELD SERVICES General Manager Shadden — Same thing here, I have kind of explained the 2-year l-year terms. Gulf Coast Electrical is our electrical contractor and the contract has run out, so the Government code that they are under requires us to put it in the paper to take sealed bids and everything. We put this in the paper for 2 weeks and solicited bids and we received 2 bids back, Gulf Coast electrical and Electrical Field Services. Our thinking is that we would like to precure both of these, so if for some reason one cannot come out, we can call the other. Precuring both, if a disaster happens, they are already precured and there is no issue with FEMA reimbursing us. Electrical Field services also specialize in lift stations. President Caraway — Were the prices close? General Manager Shadden — Yes sir they were. Director Woody made a Motion to approve a 2-year contract for electrical services with the ability to extend for 3 1-year terms for Gulf Coast Electric and Electrical Field Services.
