CC# ~ I~ <br />EXPANDING BACKUP POWER SERVICE AREA IN MUNICIPAL CENTER <br />By: Dean Kapler, Fire Chief <br />Background: <br />In 2009 at a Council work session, staff proposed expanding the service area the Municipal Center <br />backup generator provides power to during a power outage. Currently there is minimal fighting provided <br />and no power to outlets other than in the detention area within the Police Dept area. The proposal <br />includes adding all lighting and outlets in the front half of the Police area including conference rooms <br />and private offices. <br />Some minor upgrades were made to the EOC (Alexander Ramsey Room) in 2009. Staff feels with this <br />upgrade the primary functions needing to continue during a severe power outage will function <br />adequately. <br />Estimates from Rapid Electric, Millennium Electric and Electric Resource Contractors have been received <br />in the amounts of $9472.43, $10,350 and $11,657. <br />Funding Source: <br />Funding is recommended to come from Public Facilities Fund or 9412-6315 <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends contracting Rapid Electric in the amount of $9472.43 for the upgrades to the <br />coverage provided by the backup generator <br />Reviewed by: <br />City Administrator~~ <br />Finance Director ll <br />Fire Chief <br />CC: 01-26-2010 <br />
