Contract #L-6911 , y ' � u- Dear Sir: • ^ � �� ' � A contract (�L-6911) was awarded to Graybar Electric Co. for furnishing " ` 250 street lighting standards. On January 12, 1967 we were notified by � • : Graybar that their pole supplier, Union Metal Manufacturing Companq, �_ _. - refuses to manufacture the standards specified under the contract. We - , -, have discussed a�arious possible solutions with Graybar, but have not . . " arrived at any mutually ageeable solution other than to cancel the �� , � L� , �' contract. We have been advised by Mr. Paul Relly from the Corporation - � Counsel's office that under the circumstances c��?acellation of the " • contract is the best solution. ' � - � ` Therefore we request that you cancel contract #Ir 6911 with Graybar . Electric Co and we shall promptly re�submit .a new requisition for these � standards. � ;� � . � , Since this cancellation will delay the delivery of standards needed for �� , aeveral street lighting pro�ects in progress, we re.quest new bids be �- taken as quickly as possible. • . , ; ' � Very ruly your , � � , , � x � r�v V�-��_""' ,f o ard Lowe • S perinten en � of Lighting � , . . - , , • ; H :�g a , , ' : , " . ,; � � , PP'r ed: J �f.tilsz��Gf . , �- p i� Commissioner of Public Utilities ' � ' ' �� .
