V1-12 <br /> <br />MEMO <br /> <br />To: <br />From: <br />Date: <br />Re: <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />Tom Montgomery <br />January 14, 2004 <br />Accept Quotes and Authorize Purchase of Utility Department Emergency <br />Generators <br /> <br /> The 2004 Wastewater budget includes $31,950 for a fixed emergency generator <br />to service the South Pines Lift Station located at the south end of the City adjacent to <br />Hwy 316 and powered by Dakota Electric. Dakota Electric does not have a looped <br />electrical service line and this lift station has suffered several power outages over the <br />years. With the subdivision on the east side of Hwy 316 fully developed and significant <br />housing construction on the west side of Hwy 316, this lift station now serves the second <br />largest number of homes in the City and is on a problematic power source. The <br />following quotes for a fixed standby emergency generator were received: <br /> <br /> BIDDER <br />Ziegler Power Systems <br />DTE Energy <br />Magnus Incorporated <br /> <br /> BID <br />$21,465.00 <br />$23,500.00 <br />$29,453.00 <br /> <br /> The 2004 Water budget includes $48,000 for the purchase of an additional <br />portable emergency generator to power a well site during a power outage or during an <br />Xcel Energy demand day. The new portable emergency generator would supplant the use <br />of the existing natural gas engine at Well #5 which is over 35 years old and whose <br />manufacturer went out of business over 20 years ago. Purchase of a standby generator <br />for use at Well #4 will greatly reduce the load on the natural gas engine at Well #5 and <br />will take advantage of the higher pumping capacity at Well #4. The following quotes for <br />a fixed standby emergency generator were received: <br /> <br /> BIDDER <br />Ziegler Power Systems <br />DTE Energy <br />Magnus Incorporated <br /> <br /> BID <br />$37,886.00 <br />$41,302.15 <br />$55,235.00 <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br /> Council is requested to accept the low quotes from Ziegler <br />Power Systems and authorize the purchase of the two emergency <br />generators. <br /> <br />crr~ OFi~STtN~S <br /> <br /> <br />
