Justification: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
The MVP Arena respectfully requests approval of a bond resolution authorizing $200,000 in 2023 for the installation of Additional Show Power and Transformer Replacement. $100,000 was already approved for 2022 and that initial expense will be essentially centered in design and structural engineering evaluations. The total project cost will be $300,000. Events are getting bigger, and their expectations are higher. We have 2000 amps of show power. Shows often require more and they need to bring in a generator. This may make the building less desirable to put a show in than the next arena. There is available power in our switchgear, but work is needed to extend it and make it available. There are also several transformers that are over 20 years old and should be replaced before they fail. The following investment will help make the arena more appealing for larger shows to come and know we have the services to host them without renting extra equipment. There are also several step-down transformers that are aging and in need of replacement prior to another failure occurring.
This project has been included in the 2023 Capital Plan.
