Council approval to issue a purchase order to Arkansas Electric Cooperatives. |
| | | | | | | | Background:
The Transmission and Distribution Division of Power and Light is in need of Distribution Transformers to maintain our power distribution to our customers. Arkansas Electric has a varied stock of Pole Mount transformers that we are unable to acquire without extended lead times through our Contracted vendor. We have had a contract with Arkansas Electric in the past and they are a known vendor that meets our transformer specifications. Their pricing is comparable to our contracted vendors. We are currently experiencing about a 18-24 month lead time with our contracted vendor.
Approval of this item authorizes change orders up to ten (10) percent of the original authorized amount, providing appropriations are available. |
