The advertisement for bid and submitted unit prices can be seen in the attached Exhibits A and B. The submitted bids are also attached as exhibits. The prices submitted will be valid through December 31, 2018.

IMPACT STATEMENT:
By providing an efficient way to purchase needed water and sewer materials, this resolution will help the City provide a higher level of service to its constituents.
