REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: CONSIDER QUOTES FOR A PERMANENT GENERATOR AT <br />CITY HALL. <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD’S APPROVAL: Craig Schlichting, Director of Community Assets and <br />Development <br />CITY MANAGER APPROVAL: <br />No comments to supplement this report _______ Comments attached ______ <br />Recommendation: Approve the low quotes and to authorize the Director of Community Assets and Development <br />to sign quote to purchase a Permanent Standby Generator and install concrete pad for generator, and all electrical <br />connections to City Hall. <br />Legislative History: The City hired TKDA in 2014 and Barr Engineering in 2015 to analyze City Hall generator <br />requirements. On May 22, 2018 the City Council authorized solicitation of quotes. <br />Financial Impact: This project, if approved, would be funded from the Admin Non-Fleet Fund. <br />Explanation: The purpose of this item is to obtain Council approval of a quotation from A.E.M. Electric Services <br />Inc. for the purchase and install of back-up energy generator. City Hall is the home of key City operations: Finance, <br />Administration, and Community Assets and Development. City Hall does not currently have a backup power <br />supply. The NBCC and PS buildings have permanent back-up power supplies and in the event of a power loss, City <br />Hall employees rely on IT to relocate phones/computes to the Public Safety building. Loss of power in the current <br />case means loss of services and a large inconvenience to staff. Staff worked with TKDA on a report to extend <br />emergency power from the existing generator at Public Safety, and with Barr on making improvements at City Hall <br />electrical infrastructure to support a City Hall dedicated Standby Generator. Staff has determined that a dedicated <br />City Hall generator is the preferred option. <br />The permanent generator system includes: <br />An automatic transfer switch. <br />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 />AGENDA SECTION: Consent <br />REPORT DATE: June 20, 2018 <br />MEETING DATE: June 26, 2018
