City approves service body, SCADA and power-plant monitor purchases totaling up to $71,071
Summary
The council approved a Knapheide service body for the Water Department (not to exceed $21,071), a SCADA system for the Gas Department (not to exceed $25,000), and two catalyst monitors for the Power Plant (not to exceed $25,000); each motion carried 6-0.
Utilities Director Dale Schwieger reviewed bids and funding for three separate equipment purchases. Council approved the purchase of a Knapheide service body for the Water Department vehicle not to exceed $21,071 (motion by Susan Smith, second Jeff Tice). The council also approved purchase of a SCADA system for the Gas Department from Micro Com of Olathe, KS, not to exceed $25,000 (motion by Jeanette Swarts, second Mike Handly). Separately, the council approved payment not to exceed $25,000 for two catalyst monitors from Power Plant Compliance for the city’s power plant (motion by Shirley Bausman, second Susan Smith).
The minutes record the dollar caps and vendors but do not include procurement contract numbers, delivery dates, or installation schedules. Schwieger noted the SCADA system was identified in the 2025 capital improvement plan and that bed installation for the service body may be delayed; no additional timeline was recorded.
