City of Grants Pass City Council S 2eptember, 2026

The City of Grants Pass City Council held a meeting on September 2, 2026, where a key procurement-related item was the approval of a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with Control Systems Northwest for upgrades to the water system's remote SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. The project involves upgrading hardware and communications at 23 remote water sites to ensure operational continuity ahead of a new water treatment plant coming online. The contract, valued at approximately $1.646 million, includes installation, programming, and updated documentation, with funds already budgeted. The council unanimously approved the resolution. Additionally, the consent agenda included several procurement actions such as a sole source construction contract for pool renovations, purchase of defibrillators for fire and rescue, and agreements related to stormwater permit compliance and lift station upgrades. The meeting also covered public safety discussions, appointments to a small business task force, and community concerns, but no other procurement decisions were made.
