CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 11/14/2017 Submitted For: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works By: Grant Riemer, Engineering/Public Works Information 4. 6. Title: Adopt Resolution # 17-10-263 Accepting Quotes and Awarding Contract for the Installation of Emergency Generator for Well #3, Improvement Project # 17-06 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt resolution # 17-10-263 accepting quotes and awarding a contract for the installation of an emergency generator for well # 3, Improvement Project # 17-06. This project is listed in the 2017-2026 CIP under Water Improvements. Background: Currently we have one emergency generator connected to well # 5 which produces a maximum of 850 gallons per minute. Our current consumption rate is 1120 GPM. In a extended power outage we would not be able to keep up with our daily demand for water. The second emergency generator would be connected to Well # 3 which produces 1650 GPM and would give us the ability to meet our current daily demand under emergency conditions. At the March 21 st , 2017 PW Committee meeting the committee accepted staff recommendation to enter into a contract with Bolton & Menk Inc. to provide design and construction management for the purchase and installation of an emergency backup natural gas generator for Well # 3, with a not to exceed amount of $11,310.00. Bolten & Menk Inc. has prepared plans and specifications and received quotes from three qualified contractors. The quotes received were as follows: Contractor I°Total Quote IKillmer Electric II$90,500.00 Meier Electric 'IDid not Submit Levin Electric 'Did not Submit Because of Killmers original quote of $195,000.000 staff chose to go with a diesel generator, instead of the natural gas option originally proposed to the PW committee. Staff also explored options of buying the generator outright though one of our cooperative purchasing memberships.The city will now purchase the diesel generator directly through our membership with the National Joint Powers Alliance. By switching to a diesel generator and having the city purchase the generator set, the cost of the generator is now $53,684.61, instead of the originally quoted price of $101,000.00 through the contractor for a natural gas generator. The total cost of the project is now $144,184.61 Notification:
