Board reviews backup generator bids to protect Lena wastewater plant
Summary
Committee members discussed bids from The Electric Guys and Pro-Source to add a backup generator at the wastewater treatment plant. Brandon Smith said securing a generator and SCADA integration is critical to avoid sewage backups; staff will provide formal quotes for the board to review.
Brandon Smith told the Committee of the Whole that a backup generator at the wastewater treatment plant is needed to prevent sewage backups during power outages and that he has obtained bids from two vendors: The Electric Guys and Pro-Source. Smith emphasized the operational risk and said the SCADA system has a separate quoted cost; Brian Nott will forward the detailed information to the board for consideration.
The discussion produced no formal motion during the meeting, but members reviewed available vendor names and asked staff to supply the full bid documents and SCADA estimates for the board’s next review. No procurement decision was made at this session.
