The electric service to the tower is critical <br />for telemetry, alarms and lighting for the tower. In addition, current Xcel Energy rules require <br />that the electric meter be placed on the outside of the structure. Currently the meter is inside the <br />tower. The new service and meter were not included in the ongoing rehabilitation project, nor <br />can the City’s contractor complete the electrical service work. <br /> <br />In order to provide dependable electrical service to the north tower and meet current Xcel <br />requirements, staff recommends that the Council authorize Peoples Electric Company to <br />complete the work in the amount of $8,500.00. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A – Peoples Electric Proposal
