February 7, 2013 - The input from the public meeting on January 24 and the questionnaires showed that most customers preferred an extended work week and hours to allow quicker project completion. Some customers were interested in sharing the cost for underground electric; and others said they might be interested, depending on the cost. Underground electric service will not proceed unless customers decide to fund it.
Based on that input, KUB plans to ask contractors to bid on the Lyons View Pike construction project with instructions to:
- Provide firm bids for underground electric.
- Base bids on working 12 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week, weather permitting.
- Meet the construction time frame of April through fall of 2013.
After selecting a contractor, KUB will follow up with residents who were interested in underground electric service to determine whether to move forward. KUB will also provide additional information about the start of construction.
