Resolution approving the continued rental of a temporary emergency generator for nine months from Stewart & Stevenson, FDDA, LLC, 6850 President Drive, Orlando, FL 32809 in the not to exceed amount of $187,497. Emergency generators are critical to the operation of the Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. One of the generators was more than forty years old, required an overhaul, and then diagnosed as unrepairable. While the generator was being diagnosed, specifications developed, a new generator purchased (to be built and delivered in mid-2017), and bidding for a contractor to install the new generator, a rental generator was approved with Resolution no. 15-96. A continuation request was authorized with resolution no. 15-308. The completion of the project is due in August 2017; this rental request is to continue through September 30, 2017 and should cover the construction, installation and startup of a new generator. Sole source is being requested due to the rental being a continuation of the original rental period. Funds are available in the Water and Sewer Renewal & Replacement 5% Fund.
Recommendation: Director of Utilities recommends adoption of the
Resolution.
