AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

ITEM SUMMARY:

Consider for approval the purchase of a Caterpillar Olympian 50kW Natural Gas Genset and installation from Yancey Power Systems under the NJPA contract in the amount of $26,424.00 and amend the budget accordingly. Fire Chief Tommy Jones will address.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS OR CONCERNS:

The current generator is over 50 years old and is not able to be repaired. A generator is required to sustain operations in the event of a power outage. It is also a requirement for the city's ISO rating.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

The staff recommends approval.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

This is not a budgeted item. To limit the impact on the budget, money that was budgeted for electrical and plumbing repair for Fire Station #2 will be used. These repairs will not be a priority due to the station being replaced by SPLOST funds.
