Malden staff seek fuel-depot software upgrade; rough estimate $17k–$20k
Summary
Power Plant Superintendent reported fuel-depot key fob discontinuation and date-reporting errors; Mid-South Steel gave a rough $17,000–$20,000 estimate for a cloud-based replacement and staff noted available local funds from a recent remodel.
Staff told the Board the fuel-depot automated access system experienced failures after its software timed out: the key fob is discontinued and year data in fuel reports reverted. Power Plant Superintendent Drew Miller said the original software owner provided a temporary entry fob but that a vendor inspection is needed before a firm price is available. He said Mid-South Steel provided a rough estimate of $17,000–$20,000 for a cloud-based software and replacement fuel keys.
Utility Director Jeff Mitchell told the Board the fuel-depot budget had anticipated $40,000 for teardown but the depot was remodeled for $26,200; Mitchell said the remaining budgeted funds could be used toward the software update. The Board did not record a motion to award a contract; Miller said Mid-South Steel would inspect the system before submitting a firm price.
