Background and justification:
Public Works has been working diligently to have the quarry produce material to add positive
revenue to the City funds. We have a contractor just finishing up a project and we need to make
some improvements to the operations there. Adding electric power will enhance the scale house
abilities for accurate measurement of product being sold and add some lighting and power which
also helps with safety and security.
The estimated cost of will be $35,000.00 and will be funded with recent profits of over$200,000.00
from the quarry sales. The City of Seward Electric Department will do the installation as weather
allows.
