Summary
The LCRA board approved a contract with S and K Electric not to exceed $25 million to increase its bench of construction providers for private LTE tower sites and to support the rural broadband middle-mile project; estimated outside construction for that related program was cited as $8'$10 million across 100 sites.
The Lower Colorado River Authority board on Jan. 28 approved a new contract with S and K Electric for an amount not to exceed $25,000,000 to expand LCRA's roster of construction providers for private LTE telecommunication tower sites and to support the recently approved rural broadband project.
A presenter identified in the transcript as the contracts presenter requested board approval and said the contract will add S and K Electric to a group of construction service providers that will compete for new sites. "This contract will add to our bench of construction providers... S and K as well as other contracts or construction service providers that we've previously onboarded will compete for new sites moving forward," the presenter said.
The presenter said the outside construction for the related program is estimated at about $8'$10 million across roughly 100 sites and that S and K Electric will be one of the providers bidding on that work. The board approved the contract by voice vote; no recorded opposition was noted.
The transcript does not clearly tie a full name to the presenter who described the contract in the public record; the board introduction referenced both "Matt Chubbock" and "Miss Hartley" in the same exchange, and the speaker who presented contract details is not unambiguously identified in the transcript. Accordingly, this article attributes the presentation to the contracts presenter as recorded in the meeting rather than assigning a full personal name.
