An estimated 12,200 feet of conductor is required for system upgrades in the area encompassed by Church, Elm, Sacramento and Walnut Streets, and the block bordered by School Street, Walnut, Sacramento Street and Lodi Avenue. The balance of the bid amount, 7,800 feet, represents a portion of the projected 2003 requirements. However, with actual 2003 needs still unclear, and storage space at a premium, staff intends to secure a better 2003 requirements forecast before soliciting bids for additional quantities of this #2/0 conductor.
