Authority asks staff to obtain quotes after golf-cart charging controller fails
Summary
After a charging-controller failure that forced use of a backup unit, staff reported a replacement controller cost (stated at about $4,000 in the meeting) and the board asked for written pricing and to check for used-unit options before purchasing.
Staff informed the East Hempfield Recreation Authority May 27 that one of the golf-cart charging controllers failed and the authority is now operating on its backup. The meeting record indicates a new controller was estimated at about $4,000.
Joe Vos, identified in the meeting as building and grounds staff, confirmed the backup was used to restore full charging capacity and recommended keeping a spare on hand. The board directed staff to obtain a firm written quote for a new controller and to check whether a used unit might be available at lower cost; members discussed the risk of losing charging capacity while the backup is in active service.
No purchase authorization was made at the meeting; staff will return with written price quotes and a recommended procurement approach.
