CASE #3 <br /> <br />CONVERT AUXILIARY POWER AT PUMP HOUSE #3 <br /> By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer II <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Pump House #3 was constructed with a propane powered Auxiliary generator to provide <br />power if regular electric service is interrupted. Propane was chosen as the fuel source <br />because natural gas service was not available to the site. The Ramsey Town Center <br />development has made natural gas service available to the site. <br /> <br />The City has applied to Center Point Energy for gas service. The attached application <br />must be submitted to initiate the process. Staff has contacted the supplier of the generator <br />and requested pricing for converting the generator from propane to natural gas. The <br />esti mated fee is $3,000. Standard policy will be followed in soliciting and approving the <br />quotations prior to any work being performed. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Sta£f recommends submitting the request for gas service. Staff also recommends <br />proceeding with the conversion of the generator from propane to natural gas. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend the City Council authorize the request for gas service and <br />conversion of the generator from propane to natural gas at Pump House #3. <br /> <br />Reviewed By: <br />Assistant Director of Public Works/Principal City Engineer <br /> <br />PW: 09/20/05 <br /> <br /> <br />
