County Switches Light Bid
Kanawha County Commission reversed a prior award and chose McJunkin Corp to install multipurpose field lighting instead of Graybar Electric Co. The decision follows arguments by Westinghouse officials that their lights offer greater intensity for less money with a guaranteed performance. Graybar’s bid for 1,000 lumens at 142,707 was not accepted. Westinghouse bid 148,268 for 1,000 lumens and 180,195 for 1,500 lumens for lighting ten county fields.
