Dickson Electrical Awarded Contract to Re-wire Well #4 Mr. Hamer had explained in his January 21st memorandum that, if the electrical inspector can be convinced to let the City retain the existing service into the well building and does not persist in requiring underground service, the City will save $1,260. Council Action Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Enrooth to award the contract to re-wire Well #4 to the low bidder, Dickson Electric, for $4,005.00 which would be only $2,745.00 if the contractor can convince the Electrical Inspector that underground service is not necessary for the project. Motion carried unanimously.
