REQUESTED MOTION:
Approve the Purchase of Generator Equipment for Fire Station 2 and authorize the County Administrator to approve associated paperwork and Purchase orders
SUMMARY:
Purchase of a 60kw Caterpillar Generator and Automatic Transfer Equipment through Sourcewell from Ring Power a CAT Dealer
BACKGROUND:
Fire station 2 operates a generator that came with the purchase of the property in the late 90s. Although routine maintenance has been performed the generator is currently not functioning and the repair quoted was over $18,000 with no guarantee this will fix the issues. Given the age and condition of the unit staff is requesting the purchase of a new unit. This request is for the purchase of a new 60KW generator and two automatic transfer switches as the apparatus bay is on its own switch. This will come with a five-year warranty and includes disconnection, demolition and disposal of the old generator and ATS equipment. The equipment estimate for shipping is 18 weeks and will be installed prior to the 2026 hurricane season. The purchase will be a piggyback under the source well contract 92222.
