Sparta board approves transformers and street-light purchases to restock electric inventory
Summary
The board authorized $45,370 in pole transformers from Gresco with a reported four-to-five month lead time and approved $12,350 for 70-watt street lights from Cape Electric to standardize side-street fixtures.
The Sparta Board of Aldermen approved purchases intended to restock the electric department’s inventory and standardize street lighting.
The board authorized purchase of twenty 20-kilovolt-amp pole transformers and ten additional pole transformers from Gresco for $45,370; staff said the parts are restocking replacements after multiple changeouts and that lead times are currently about four to five months. Separately, the board approved buying 70-watt street-light fixtures from Cape Electric for $12,350 to standardize side-street lighting; members noted the city previously had multiple lamp styles and said the new fixtures are a cooler white rather than the amber style.
Both purchases passed on roll-call votes. Staff advised the board that these purchases are budgeted and part of routine maintenance and system standardization; no additional financing or special approvals were announced at the meeting.
