BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On August 15, 1990, the City Council

opened on September 5, 1990.
Two of the bids contained discrepancies in the unit prices, and the
third bid contained an exception to the specifications which was deemed
unacceptable by the Electrical Engineering Department.

new bids be requested and re -advertised with an opening date of

available in the Electric Utility Department's operating fund.
