Commission approves DGR task order to begin phase one electrical system improvements
Summary
The commission approved a task order for DGR Engineering to prepare phase one plans and bidding documents for electrical system improvements; funding likely through user fees, with potential bond or low-interest loan options under consideration.
The commission approved a task order for DGR Engineering to develop phase one of the city's electrical system improvements. Staff said the task order covers planning through final design to ready the work for bidding, with construction expected to start next spring. Funding for planning will come from the electrical fund with later phases to be bonded or financed via low-interest state or federal loans as the commission decides.
"We hope to bid it out this fall or later this fall, early winter so that we are able to start construction next spring," staff said. Commissioners asked how the work would be paid for; staff responded that initial planning will come from the electrical accounts and future phases would be included in loan or bond financing and reflected in user-fee rate adjustments. The commission moved and unanimously approved the DGR task order.
