BID REVIEW - CITY HALL GENERATOR REPLACEMENT
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Enhance public safety and emergency response.
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
This project involves removing and replacing the existing 30kW propane/natural gas fueled emergency generator with a 150kW diesel fueled emergency generator. The new generator is much larger than the existing generator to provide adequate power for the data center to ensure the City's computer servers, computer network, and telephone system remain functional during a power outage. The new generator will also provide power for lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and outlets in the Training Room, Council Chambers, and Executive Library upstairs at City Hall to provide for incident command and operations control activities during an extended power outage. The existing generator will be stored for potential future use at another City facility.
