Additionally, the work being proposed for <br />electrical wiring of City Hall will provide complete lighting throughout the <br />facility and not just partial lighting in some areas. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Part of this request from the Bruce is related to the worse case situation with <br />the Y2K issue. On the other hand, part of this request relates to simply <br />having an adequate facility to operate from if we have a natural disaster at <br />any time. The funding source for this expenditure would be the 1999 city <br />council contingency budget or, if at the end of the year funds are not <br />available from this source, staff would recommend using the building reserve. <br /> <br />Bruce has attempted to get other quotes for this work and the verbal quotes <br />that have been received have been much higher than the range listed in his <br />memo and also the timing of the work from the other local firms has not been <br />determined. The city has good experience with Kelly Johnson of Reliance <br />Electric as he has done the work for the ice arena and the liquor store. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Council authorize the hiring of Kelly <br />Johnson, Reliance Electric, for the electric wiring work at City Hall for a <br />range between $13,000-$17,000 with funding to come from the city council <br />contingency budget. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
