Electrical Bids

UPDATE: Friday, Jan. 8th, 2:20 pm: The mayor confirmed that the construction contracts for this work has been awarded. The work for Shirley and Highland Streets will be done by Amaya Electric and the work on Winnifred will be done by Cannon Construction. The labor costs for each project is listed below.

UPDATE: Thursday, Jan. 7th, 10:08 am: Based on a question posed in a comment here, I asked Mayor Hopkins to outline the full costs for the street lighting project (not just the cost for the poles and light fixtures). Here is his response. The asterisk indicates that the same contractor will be doing those streets, and these totals do not include the costs to replace the 10 fixtures on Stack Hill. Thanks for the great question and to the mayor for the quick and transparent response...

Has the town received bids for the installation and wiring?

I believe so, my impression was these bids included that work as well. I'll confirm and post the information.

Thanks for the info Karen.

Do we know which electrical contractor was the low bidder?

One small step for Mankind. One big step for Ruston. There really is light at the end of the tunel.

I think all that has been confirmed so far is the purchase of the light poles and fixtures. I don't think there has been any contract or bid awarded for the actual work yet.
