Commercial and Residential development in the City of Independence has caused the demand for meters to rise dramatically.

The bid resulted in an award to Anixter Inc (Anixter). A contract was created for the purchase of meters. With the increased demand the Power & Light Department had a purchase order in fiscal year 2023 for $130,000. They spent an additional $30,000 in fiscal year 2023 due to the demand for solar metering. The amount of spend is anticipated to rise for the next fiscal year.
Approval of this item shall authorize change orders up to an additional ten (10) percent of the authorized amount, providing appropriations are available. |
