Council awards $551,215 contract for Substation 4 control room enclosure
Summary
Council authorized the purchase of a control room enclosure and related panels for Substation 4 from the lowest bidder, awarding the contract at $551,215 including Kansas taxes.
Staff recommended awarding a purchase contract for a control room enclosure and associated relay protection panels, batteries and equipment for Substation 4. The city received four bids, which were reviewed by Olson (a consultant); staff recommended EPT Traech (listed in the packet as the lowest bidder with the shortest lead time and a familiar bill of materials) for purchase of the control room enclosure.
Council authorized the city administrator to execute a contract with EPT Traech in the amount of $551,215 including Kansas taxes for the purchase of the Substation 4 control room enclosure. A councilmember noted the large dollar amount and the motion passed on a recorded vote; staff said the city had previously purchased a similar enclosure for Substation 3 in February 2004 and is familiar with the equipment.
