County to seek bids for fourth compressor; delivery expected late year
Summary
Committee heard that the fourth feed compressor—intended for redundancy and future expansion—has been purchased, with delivery expected between Thanksgiving and Christmas; RFQ scope and procurement are planned for September–October with construction possibly starting in December or early next year.
County staff said the fourth compressor has been purchased via purchase order and is expected for delivery between Thanksgiving and Christmas, with installation work possibly beginning in December or in the first part of next year depending on contractor schedules.
"The compressor's there to for 2 reasons, to increase redundancy in our feed compressors... and as time goes on for expansion," project manager Greg Comperta said. Staff and SCS Energy are preparing RFQ scope; Harty said SCS will provide scope in the next two weeks and the county expects to finalize an RFQ package for purchasing and legal review before releasing it to the public.
Officials said some electrical components with long lead times (soft starters, switchgear) will be pre-purchased to avoid delays. The committee discussed adding contract completion timelines to RFQ language and possibly liquidated-damage or penalty provisions to ensure schedule compliance.
No procurement decision was made at the meeting; staff outlined the expected timeline for the RFQ, vendor selection, and equipment delivery.
