Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared to Furnish and Deliver Services to Recondition Various Circuit Breakers for the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant Area, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this contract is to recondition eleven breakers at the Central Heat, West Side Pumping Station and Lockport Powerhouse within the Stickney Service Area.

The bid deposit for this contract is $10,000.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not included in this contract because all work will be done at the Contractor’s facility.

Therefore, there is no practical or cost effective opportunity for direct or indirect subcontracting.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
