Good News (potential)

Just got off the phone with Hickox from the City. Some good news potentially...

Two bids:

• $6746
• $6261 (with a potential cost of only $3600 if they can do the non-trench "pull"... but 6261 tops)
  

We go with the second bid. I ask Hickox based on his experience if he thinks the "pull" will fly. He thinks it might, if our soil is more sandy than clay-y... but he said that they wouldn't know until they tried. He initially thought we were too far north to be that sandy, but the fact that the contractor actually floated the idea is promising.

More potential good news. Seems that there's a busted valve in the neighborhood, and they'll need to shut the entire main down to repair it... they could run this job at the same time. And this could potentially happen in the next two weeks.

I'll drop off the $6261 check off on my way to pick up Jack from school.

And we'll see if all of this can live up to its "potential"...
