AGENDA ITEM <br />Item No.: <br />Date: April 9, 2018 <br />Item Description: Back Up Generators for Lift Stations #5 (351 West Lake Street) and <br />#9 (1550 Bohns Point Road) <br />Presenter: Scott Oberaigner Agenda Consent Agenda <br />Public Works Supervisor Section: <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain accept the proposal/quotes to procure and install <br />back up generators at Lift Stations #5 and #9. <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 />3. Project Scope. <br />a. LS #5 Generator. This project will provide a 45 kW backup generator for this critical lift station <br />which services the sanitary sewer system north of Stubbs Bay. <br />b. LS#9 Generator. This project will provide a 36kW backup generator for this critical lift station <br />which services the sanitary sewer system in the Bohns Point neighborhood. <br />4. Cost. The City received 3 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 $ 44,812. <br />a. Generator <br />Contractor LS 5 LS9 Total Quote <br />Cummins Power Generation $ 19,566 $ 16,440 $ 36,006 <br />Ziegler Power Systems (CAT) $ 25,640 $ 25,640 $ 51,280 <br />Allied Generators $ 26,575 $ 13,475 $ 39,550 <br />b. Electrical Installation <br />Contractor <br />LS 5 <br />LS 9 <br />Total Quote <br />A-1 Electric Service <br />$ 6,576 <br />$ 2,230 <br />$ 8,806 <br />Gephart Electric <br />$ 9,815 <br />$ 9,658 <br />$19,473 <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 2018. <br />6. Staff Recommendation. I recommend that Council accept the quotes from Cummins Power <br />Generation and A-1 Electric. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to accept the quote in the amount of $ 36,006 from Cummins Power Generation for the provision <br />of and installation of backup Generators at Lift Stations #5 and #9 and of $8,806 from A-1 Electric for <br />electrical installation. <br />Prepared By: SO Reviewed By: 7E Approved By: -TV <br />
