RE: Bid Award- City Hall Emergency Generator Replacement
BACKGROUND
The emergency generator within the Mechanical Building of the City Hall complex provides
emergency power to City Hall offices and systems during power outages. The current emergency
generator is 50+ years old and has required multiple repairs in recent years. Parts are no longer
available for the current generator and in a recent test the unit was not capable of meeting the
electrical load test for the emergency power system within City Hall. The Common Council
allocated $125,000 for replacement of the generator in the 2014 Major Equipment CIP. Electrical
engineer Bruce Cottrell from Cottrell Design Inc. was engaged to review and prepare bid
specifications for this project. A new generator can be installed outside of the building and run
quieter, cooler and more energy efficient. The new unit will be installed with a self - contained,
weatherproof and sound attenuated enclosure. The new unit will be 100KW 120/208 volt, 3
phase natural gas generator and will include the most current state of the art operations and
controlling functions.
ANALYSIS
Working in with Cottrell Design Inc. and Facilities Maintenance and Electrical Division staff,
Purchasing prepared bid specifications seeking vendors for this project. Bids were advertised in
the local paper and posted online on NovusVendor. Bids were received on May 28, 2014. Three
bids were received but only two bids met the minimum bid specifications. The bid tab is
attached.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact of the low bid for this project will be $72,350. The 2014 Major
Equipment CIP budgeted $125,000 for this project. This project will be charged to A/N# 323-
0130- 7204 - 06415.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this bid to Hogen Electric, Inc. for $72,350.
