Electric utility to purchase steel transmission poles for loop maintenance
Summary
The finance committee approved a contract allowing the electric utility to buy 20 steel transmission poles in anticipation of transmission loop maintenance and pole replacements.
Electric utilities director Tyler Barrier told the committee the electric utility regularly performs grid maintenance and will test transmission-loop structures next fiscal year. To prepare for likely replacements, staff requested approval to purchase commonly used sizes of steel transmission poles under a contract for a total of $205,354.60 for 20 poles.
Barrier said the purchase is to ensure the utility has the sizes it commonly needs while structural testing of the transmission loop is completed. Committee members approved the contract by voice vote with no discussion.
