Council approves mower, sewer camera, sewer-rehab contract and IT/transformer upgrades
Summary
Council approved purchases including a $5,018 mower, a $6,854.25 sewer camera, an engineering contract with PMI for Kimbley Circle sewer rehab, an administrative server upgrade, and a transformer upgrade for the sewer plant; all motions passed by voice vote.
The Lonoke city council approved several capital and procurement items affecting public works and city infrastructure.
Public works director Anthony Smith requested replacement equipment: the council approved a low-bid mower from Greenway at $5,018 and a sewer-camera purchase from Shel Supply at $6,854.25. Smith said both items were included in his yearly budget and are intended to help daily operations and diagnostic capability for wastewater lines.
The council also approved a contract with engineering firm PMI for the Kimbley Circle Sewer Rehab and a tie-in on Fourth Street wastewater work. The motion to approve PMI’s services carried by voice vote.
On IT and utilities, council approved an NSG quote to upgrade the city’s administrative server and add a virtual server for the police department to support new in-car computers. Separately, council approved a vendor proposal to upgrade the transformer at the sewer treatment plant; the transcript lists the vendor figure as '10,59708' in the packet. All of those motions carried by voice vote.
Actions taken: motions to purchase the mower and sewer camera, to contract with PMI for sewer rehab, to approve the NSG server upgrade and to approve the transformer upgrade all passed by unanimous voice vote as recorded in the meeting.
What this means: the equipment purchases and contracts aim to improve routine maintenance, wastewater diagnostics, and core IT infrastructure; the transformer and server upgrades were described as necessary to maintain operations and support police systems. Council did not record roll-call tallies for the motions; each was approved by voice vote.
