WHEREAS, on August 10, 2021, the City of Grand Island entered into a Contract
with Wesco Distribution, Inc., to supply all transformer categories through December 31, 2022; and
WHEREAS, with the recent fluctuations in commodity pricing, labor shortages, and
material supply constraints, the market for transformers has become increasingly critical; and
WHEREAS, extending the Contract with Wesco through December 31, 2023 and
approving a secondary Single-Phase Pad-Mount transformer manufacturer offered by Wesco would
reduce the risk of the Utilities Department not having a supplier during the shortage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the First Amendment to Distribution
Transformers contract agreement with Wesco Distribution, Inc., is approved and the Mayor is hereby
authorized to sign the agreement on behalf of the City of Grand Island.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, May 10, 2022.
