Council approves $9,700 purchase for four pad‑mounted transformers
Summary
Mount Pleasant approved requisition 40320251232 to purchase four 25 kVA pad‑mounted transformers for $9,700; two will be used for line extensions and two will go into stock after a vendor offered a limited set due to another plant fire.
Mount Pleasant — The council approved a $9,700 requisition April 30 to purchase four 25 kVA pad‑mounted transformers (two for line extensions, two for stock) after staff explained the units were available from a GE plant incident and lead time for replacements could be six to seven weeks.
Speaker 2 explained that two transformers are for pass‑through line extensions and two would remain in the city’s inventory. The vendor opportunity was described as a favorable purchase because of limited supply elsewhere.
Paul moved the motion and Rondy seconded; roll call recorded affirmative votes and the requisition passed.
Councilors noted timing and inventory issues and thanked staff for securing a deal that matched immediate operational needs.
