(5) retain all required certificates of coverage on file for the duration of the project

.r correctly submit the Good Faith Effort Form. In this case, Sharrock Electric answered `no' to
questions 3 and 4 in the form.
We would still like to consider Sharrock Electric for this contract award. Please submit new
M/WBE documentation showing that your company will meet or exceed the 14%participation
goal. Because Sharrock is considered non-responsive,the company will not be eligible for a
^° participation goal that is less than 14%.
Please submit the new paperwork to Vicki McDonald in the Transportation and Public Works
Department(TPW). The new documentation must be received by 5:00 PM,five(5)City business

of attaching pull cable, pulling tension per conductor size and per radius of conduit
bend,and the type of lubricant to be used.
(B) All cables in a given conduit nui shall be pulled at the same time and the conductors
shall be assembled to form one loop in such a manner that the pulling tension is
equally distributed to all the cables. Long, hard pulls will necessitate the use of
pulling eyes. For short runs, the cables may be gripped directly by the conductors by
forming them into a loop to which the pull wire or rope can be attached. The
insulation on each conductor shall be removed before the loop is formed. The
method used will depend on the anticipated maximum pulling tension in each case.
(C) In existing conduit where new cables are to replace existing cables, the exit cables
may be used to pull in the new cables. At locations where new cables are to be added
to existing cable runs, the existing cables shall first be pulled out, the new cables are
to be added to the existing cables to form one cable pull. Installation and removal
shall be done in such a way as to prevent damage to the existing and/or new cables.
In the event of damage, the Contractor shall bear the responsibility of providing the
material and labor for replacement of defective cables at no extra cost to the City.
