Summary

Staff recommended and council approved IMEG's engineering proposal for electrical upgrades at the aging Public Safety Building at a contract cost of $68,500; the work is intended to modernize distribution and provide backup power for non-dispatch areas.

Staff told the council that the Public Safety Building's electrical infrastructure is more than 50 years old and limits future expansion, and recommended IMEG for engineering services at a cost of $68,500. "IMEG services will include preparation of electrical designs and plans, general designs with contract documents suitable for bidding and construction and assistance during the building and construction phase," Mr. Hansen said, adding that sufficient funds were included in the 2026 budget.

Council approved the engineering services item without further questions. Staff said the scope includes replacing aging equipment, improving distribution to inadequate areas and adding backup power for non‑dispatch sections to support police and fire operations for the next 30-plus years.
