TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
APPROVING SPECIFICATIONS AND CALLING FOR
BIDS TO UPGRADE APPROXIMATELY 1,700 FEET OF POWER LINE

WHEREAS , a new replacement transformer, which would alleviate the risk,
cannot be acquired and installed for many months; and
WHEREAS , the electrical load could be transferred from the Truckee

require an upgrade of approximately 1 ,700 feet of wire and would involve an
expense in the area of $20 ,000; and
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 20205.1 requires that the District
engage in competitive bidding on any expenditure in excess of $10,000;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Truckee
