AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: SO Reviewed By: Approved By: DJR <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval for the proposal/quotes to procure and <br />install back up generators at Lift Stations #1 and GS#9. <br /> <br />2. Background. The City has 45 sanitary sewer lift stations and we typically add two permanent <br />generators per year at lift stations that currently don’t have a generator. By having permanent generators <br />in-place at lift stations, it provides added security in preventing sewage backups into private homes if <br />there is a power failure. <br /> <br />3. Project Scope. <br />a. LS #1 Generator. This project will provide a 60kW backup generator for this critical lift <br />station which services the sanitary sewer system Southeast portion of the City. <br />b. GS#9 Generator. This project will provide a 45kW backup generator for this critical lift <br />station which services the sanitary sewer system in the Brackets Point & Green Trees neighborhoods. <br /> <br />4. Cost. The City received two quotes for generators and two quotes for the associated electrical work <br />(Automatic Transfer Switch). The lowest quote from a qualified contractor for Generators was from <br />Cummins Power Generation. The lowest Quote for electrical installation is from A-1 Electric. Total cost <br />for the contracted portion of both Generator projects is $ 52,208. <br /> <br />a. Generator <br />Contractor LS 1 GS9 Total Quote <br />Cummins Power Generation $ 21,875 $ 19,896 $41,771 <br />Ziegler Power Systems (CAT) $ 28,490 $ 25,460 $53,950 <br /> <br />b. Electrical Installation <br />Contractor LS 1 GS 9 Total Quote <br />A-1 Electric Service $ 7,949 $ 2,488 $10,437 <br />Gephart Electric $ 9,687 $ 8,286 $17,973 <br /> <br />5. Funding. This project will be funded through the Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund. The Capital <br />Improvement Plan (CIP) programmed $ 75,000 for each backup generator project. The Sewer Fund <br />balance is projected to be $ 1,797,833 at the end of 2019. <br /> <br />6. Staff Recommendation. I recommend that Council accept the quotes from Cummins Power <br />Generation and A-1 Electric. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to accept the quote in the amount of $ 41,771 from Cummins Power Generation for the provision <br />of and installation of backup Generators at Lift Station #1 and Grinder Station#9 and of $10,437 from A- <br />1 Electric for electrical installation. <br /> <br /> <br />Item No.: 6 Date: April 22, 2019 <br />Item Description: Back Up Generators for Lift Stations #1 (1302 Shoreline Drive) and <br />GS#9 (1222 Brackets Point Road) <br />Presenter: Scott Oberaigner <br />Public Works Supervisor <br />Agenda <br />Section: <br />Consent Agenda
