The Committee of the Whole of the City of Springfield on Aug. 26 approved a package of consent ordinances including contracts for the Office of Public Utilities, professional services agreements and an intergovernmental agreement to transfer Robin Roberts Stadium to the Springfield Park District.
The package, passed by voice vote with “ayes” recorded and no discussion noted on most items, included a contract with Graybar Electric Company Inc. for electric transmission, distribution and operations work not to exceed $1,076,023.20; purchase of 12 refurbished voltage regulators from Sunbelt Solomon LLC not to exceed $68,004.50; a professional-services agreement with Optical Control LLC for $92,592; and a $437,184 agreement for SCADA/EMS system work with Open Systems International Inc., dba AspenTech Digital Grid Management. The committee also approved a three-year linen and uniform rental contract with Vesta Services LLC not to exceed $2,240,000 and accepted a $10,000 proposal from Hussle and Hart Sports Performance LLC to purchase four city-owned parcels.
Other consent items approved included an amendment to the residential building plumbing modification reimbursement program (city code Title 5, ch. 51, art. 4, §51.31), decreases in two Class D liquor licenses due to business closures, payment authorizations for training and consulting services, and an intergovernmental agreement with the Springfield Park District for acquisition and transfer of Robin Roberts Stadium.
Several personnel and settlement items were included on the consent calendar and approved without separate debate. Most motions were moved for consent by committee members and seconded; the chair called the voice votes and declared the ayes carried on the listed items.
No substantive debate or amendments to the listed ordinances were recorded in the committee transcript for the consent slate. Where the record shows specific contract amounts or vendors, those figures are reported here as read into the record by the clerk.
