(Because of t'•,e current volatility in the price of copper, the potential savings in awarding the bid based on prices
subject to escalation is not enough to warrant the risk of having actual final cost exceed Cablec's firm prices).

and 2, Towne Ranch 2 and 3, Lodi West 2. and the Big 5 Sporting Goods store. Cable installations arc also
