  <br />  <br />  <br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: CONSIDER SOLICITATION OF QUOTES FOR A PERMANENT <br />GENERATOR AT CITY HALL. <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD’S APPROVAL: Craig Schlichting, Director of Community Assets and <br />Development <br />CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: <br /> <br /> <br />No comments to supplement this report _______ Comments attached ______ <br />Recommendation: To authorize the Director of Community Assets and Development to perform the following <br />actions: <br />1. Solicit quotes to purchase a Permanent Standby Power Generator for City Hall. <br />2. Solicit quotes to install concrete pad for generator, and all electrical connections to City Hall. <br /> <br />Legislative History: The City hired TKDA in 2014 and Barr Engineering in 2015 to analyze City Hall generator <br />requirements. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: This project, if approved, would be funded from the Admin Non-Fleet Fund. <br /> <br />Explanation: City Hall is the home of key City operations: Finance, Administration, and Community Assets and <br />Development. City Hall does not currently have a backup power supply. The NBCC and PS buildings have <br />permanent back-up power supplies and in the event of a power loss, City Hall employees rely on IT to relocate <br />phones/computes to the Public Safety building. Loss of power in the current case means loss of services and a large <br />inconvenience to staff. Staff worked with TKDA on a report to extend emergency power from the existing generator <br />at Public Safety, and with Barr on making improvements at City Hall electrical infrastructure to support a City Hall <br />dedicated Standby Generator. Staff has determined that a dedicated City Hall generator is the preferred option. <br /> <br />Staff will include the following as part of a permanent generator system: <br /> Install a new transfer switch. <br /> Install a new 125KW, 208/120V natural gas generator. <br /> Wire and conduit from the generator to the transfer switch. <br /> New 800 amp service entrance transfer switch <br /> Concrete pad to set the generator on. <br /> Tree removal and grading to set the generator south of City Hall <br /> <br />Costs and Funding: It is anticipated that the costs will be $80,000, and if approved would be paid from the Admin <br />Non-Fleet Fund. <br /> <br /> <br />___________________________________ <br />Craig Schlichting, P.E. <br />Director of Community Assets and Development <br />AGENDA SECTION: Consent <br />REPORT DATE: May 15, 2018 <br />MEETING DATE: May 22, 2018
