‘Mishap’ pushes back indefinitely $193,291 project start from Monday BY JEREMY SCHWARTZ PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Work on replacement of 25 light poles in downtown Port Angeles that was slated to start Monday has been delayed after a “mishap” with the poles’ supplier. “There was a mishap in production. The poles are a ways out,” said Brian Anders,
an electrical engineering specialist with the public works department. Crews with Port Angeles-based Olympic Electric, under a $193,291 contract with the city, were set to replace 25 light poles and their bases along Front and First streets between Lincoln and Valley streets, Anders said. The work was supposed to wrap up by Nov. 20, Anders added.
“It’s going to be questionable whether they’re going to be able to begin by then,” Anders said. “They won’t be able to end by then.” Anders said the delay will not cost the city any extra money. “The contract amount would stand,” he said. TURN

Espinoza said Brand was cited by the State Patrol for DUI and that any charge following that citation would be handled in Clallam County District Court. “For now, I will exonerate you under [the] Superior Court action,” Superior Court Commissioner Kenneth Williams told Brand during Thursday’s hearing. As of 5 p.m., Brand remained listed on the jail roster. Brand failed field sobriety tests after the incident, according to State Patrol accounts, and a preliminary breath test showed Brand’s blood-alcohol level was 0.124 percent, about 1½ times the 0.08 percent legal limit. The State Patrol said Brand told a trooper she was coming back from Aberdeen and had drunk one beer about an hour prior to the collision.
