Council tables Friends of Carlisle Parks electrical-panel request for Scotch Ridge amphitheater
Summary
Friends of Carlisle Parks presented bids for an electrical panel at Scotch Ridge amphitheater; a vote to approve the lowest bid was rescinded and the council unanimously voted to table the item pending scope clarification and possible rebidding.
Joe Jenkins, representing Friends of Carlisle Parks, presented bids for installing an electrical panel at the Scotch Ridge amphitheater and identified Robison Electric as the lowest bidder.
Councilmembers raised technical questions about load capacity and the use of yard posts; Councilmember Tracey McAvoy questioned those installation details and Councilmember Krista Beck asked about available power levels. Councilmember Andrya Carter asked whether the amphitheater could be rented to generate revenue; Jenkins responded that it is a city facility and Friends of Carlisle Parks saw no problem with rental use from their perspective.
Councilmember McAvoy moved to approve the Robison Electric quote and Councilmember Beck seconded, but that motion was rescinded while staff clarified the project's scope. Councilmember Beth Sauter then moved to table the item until further scope information and any necessary rebidding could be completed; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Tracey McAvoy and carried unanimously on a roll call vote (5-0). City Admin. Deven Markley said he would coordinate with the city attorney and Jenkins on scope and bidding requirements.
Next steps: Staff will clarify scope and, if the project scope changes, evaluate whether new bids are required under city policy before bringing the item back to council.
