Energy program. Maximizing the utilization of available funds would help
improve the quality of dwellings in Contra Costa County. These funds are
targeted to low-income residents, in order to help lower their energy
expenses. Specifically, the funds are used to install hot water heaters,
heaters, stoves, refrigerators, microwaves, florescent light bulbs,
weather-stripping, attic insulation, switch and plug gaskets, and water
heater blankets.
In order to increase the production level and maximize utilization of these
available funds, the Department decided to increase its use of outside
contractors . The Department solicited bids from 10 contractors, and
received bids from 2 firms. Mc Hale Insulation Co. Inc. was the lowest
responsible bidder. The bidder selected is both a small business enterprise
and a local business enterprise .
