The following members were present: H. P. Quade, Herb Filk, Clint Tracy, R; E. Young and D. 0. Comer. H. P. Quade, President of the Commission, called the meeting.to order and called for reading of the minutes of the last previous meeting. The minutes were read by the Secretary, R. E. Young, and approved. P. E. Fuller and Merle Giving of the firm of Pfeifer and Schultz, Inc., Engineers employed by the Utilities Commission in the expansion program, met-with the Commission and went over the provisions of the Specifications for Diesel Engine Generators, Electrical Installation and Wiring. After discussion, Commissioner Tracy moved and Commissioner Filk seconded a motion to accept, approve and authorize the use of the Specifications with certain minor changes. The motion was unanimously carried. President Quade opened the meeting for discussion of the method to be used for obtaining bids or letting a Contract for the Diesel Engine Generators, Electrical Installation and Wiring complete including all necessary changes in the plant and switch gear equipment. The discussion brought out the fact that much of.the material and equipment needed for -this work was in extremely short supply, and in many cases delivery dates were 38 to 42 weeks behind. It was also pointed out that the information necessary to work out the detailed plans would not be available until March of 1967, and that if the Commission were to wait until then to call for bids, completion of the expansion project would be in serious jeopardy and could not be accomplished by the dates set and committed to large customers of the Commission. It was also recognized that since a war was going on in Viet Nam and appeared to be escalating, much of the equipment and material could be frozen and not available at any time. The discussion was developed that the firm of E. A. Pedersen Company of Omaha, Nebraska, were willing to commit themselves and did in fact present .a proposal whereby they would undertake the furnishing of the material and equipment and com- pletion of the work that would be required in carrying,out these Specifications for Diesel Engine Generators,.Electrical Installation and Wiring for a specified sum, that sum being $89,200.00 which was based on plant inspection and general understanding as to the work to be accomplished and mat�or:kitls .and equipment furnished. After lengthy discussion, careful consideration-and reports of the investigations made by Commission members and the Engineers employed by the Commission, they being present at the conclusion of this matter,, adoption of the following Resolution was moved by Commissioner Filk, seconded by Commissioner Tracy and unanimously adopted: Resolution 102�� As per resolution #1000 adopted 11 -29 -06 £° Numbering resolutions from 1936 — 2006 . t For search purposes only R E S o L U T 1 o N t, _ "RESOLVED, That an emergency situation exists in th obtaining of material and equipment to complete and provide the Diesel Engine Generators, Electrical Installation and Wiring necessary to get into opera ion the new engines being purchased by.the Commission -.w thin Alt the time limit committed by the Commission for furn shing R additional power.
