The council's award in the record covers the 43,890.00 sign alone. Resolution R-254-5/23 awards KC Sign and Awnings a contract not to exceed 43,890.00. The 32,985.00 of electrical work that made the sign run was paid to M.P. Electrical Contractors under contract C2400098, dated 04/09/2024. The contract file holds a City vendor quotation form for on call emergency electrical service, repairs and installation, dated 11/17/2022. It lists three vendors. M.P. Electrical quoted 156.80 an hour, one vendor was not interested and one did not reply. The form recites a bid threshold of 44,000.00. The 32,985.00 is 1,015.00 under that threshold. The ledger prints the award as Res No DPW-003, and DPW-003 appears handwritten on the vendor's proposal. Asked for a resolution by that name, the City produced the contract file and no resolution. Reading the electrical award as one the council never voted on is an inference from the record the City produced.
