Council approves $2.15 million Sourcewell purchase for underground electrical feeders to serve Southeast Development
Summary
Geneva approved a resolution to purchase underground cable and materials through the Sourcewell cooperative contract in an estimated amount of $2,150,358.34 to build electrical circuit feeders and infrastructure for the Southeast Development area, with superintendent Holton present for questions.
The Geneva City Council approved a resolution authorizing the purchase of underground electrical cable and materials in an estimated amount of $2,150,358.34 through a Sourcewell cooperative contract to construct new feeders for the Southeast Development area.
City staff explained Sourcewell is a purchasing cooperative that competitively bids contracts for government and nonprofit entities; the materials will be used to construct electric circuit feeders and connect new circuits to existing Geneva infrastructure. Superintendent Holton was present to answer council questions.
Given the size of the purchase, the council conducted a roll-call vote. The resolution passed with eight affirmative votes and two alderpersons absent. Staff said the procurement will enable the city to supply electricity to the Southeast Development and support the area’s planned growth.
The purchase is structured under a cooperative procurement (Sourcewell) and is limited to materials and equipment needed for circuit construction; future steps include delivery, installation, and coordination with the city’s electric operations before circuits are energized.
