Inquiry #2: More than 800,000 Northern California homes and businesses went dark Wednesday 10/9/19 (today) in the first phase of a multi-day Public Safety Power Shutoff aimed at curbing wildfire risks amid high winds and hot, dry conditions in California.

Many of our subcontractors, material suppliers, truckers and prime contractors will NOT be able to submit quotes or bids due to the Public Safety Power Shutoff and thus promoting unfair bid situations and/or advantages.

Please consider postponing "electronic" bid openings until safety shutoffs are no longer in effect.
