From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, staff said the Boiler 1 economizer tubes at the Olmsted Waste to Energy Facility (OWEF) had reached end of life and were causing four emergency shutdowns in two months. The committee was asked to fund $750,000 for new tube bundles and a qualified installation contractor, with procurement starting in late 2026 because of long manufacturing lead times. The work was tied to the 2027 capital improvement plan (CIP) and 2027 bond proceeds, making this a near-term buying trigger for equipment and installation firms.
