    As an employee of McGuire and Hester who also lives in Oakland, I strongly support extending this contract. This is an opportune time to fix our streets that are in much need of repair, as well as keep local residents employed in an otherwise financially unstable time. I know that McGuire and Hester will abide by the ever changing COVID19 safety standards to ensure the safety and health of their crews, as well as the general public.

    We all have been affected by the poor state of the City's streets and roads. The under-maintained streets, with their patches (if lucky) and potholes burden too many people with damage to wheels and tires, and lead to the premature wear of other vehicle parts. Expediting the repair of these streets will be a benefit to all Oakland residents and others who frequently use them.

    McGuire and Hester has been an Oakland based contractor from its beginning in 1926. As an Oakland contractor we have employed hundreds if not thousands of local Oakland employees. This added contract will come at a much needed time due to the reduction in hours caused by Covid19. We have implemented OSHA Site Specific Covid19 Safety standards on all active jobs that will be working during these times. I strongly support increasing this contract with Mcguire and Hester, a company who deeply cares about the financial and safety of its employees.
