MEMORANDUM
To: Michael Holley
From: Ian Fitzgerald
Date: November 26, 2018
Subject: Sole-Source Justification for Curtis & Sons Construction Inc.
Curtis & Sons Construction Inc. has installed 3 of the 4 completed phases to date of the Districts
fiber optic infrastructure. They understand the standards of the District in regards to this system.
Staff is recommending dispensing with competitive bidding and allowing Curtis & Sons
Construction Inc. to be sole sourced in the event of emergencies and communication outages.
The District’s communication infrastructure is not currently a priority to repair during storm
damage if our core services of electricity or water are in need of repair, however we now have a
lease tenant on the fiber optic cables with Plumas Sierra Telecommunications. With this, the
District has an obligation to repair the fiber optic infrastructure efficiently, quickly and safely if
damage occurs. Having Curtis & Sons Construction Inc. sole-sourced for this enables the
District to get repairs done promptly without the need to pull from internal staff at times when it
is unavailable.
