City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: August 25, 2025
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Taylor Crocker, Electric Operations Supervisor
Subject: Resolution 2025-079: Approving the Proposal from KC Corporation to
Construct a Three -Sided Shelter in the City of Seward Electric Department
Laydown Yard for a Cost of $251,064 and Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
The City of Seward Electric Department issued an RFP for the construction of an 80-foot by 40-
foot three -sided shelter in the Electric Department laydown yard to protect valuable materials and
equipment from the elements. Seven proposals were received, with bid amounts ranging from
$392,193 to $251,064. KC Corporation submitted the most thorough proposal, offering the lowest
pricing, the most relevant construction experience, and the best construction timeline.
The Electric Department currently stores cable reels, transformers, and other critical equipment
outdoors. Exposure to rain, snow, and ice has resulted in premature deterioration of cable reels
and instances where transformers have frozen to the ground during emergencies, delaying the
Department's ability to respond to outages. By constructing this shelter, the Electric Department
will significantly extend the lifespan of these assets, improve emergency response readiness, and
reduce costly replacements due to weather -related damage.
The resolution appropriates $251,064 for construction of the shelter, with funding to come from
the Electric Department Capital budget.
