SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• This item is in front of Council because the purchase amount is in excess of $100k.
• The contract has been reviewed and approved by the Town Attorney.
• There have not been significant changes since the last time this was discussed.
• The Town already owns the mobile pumping station that this generator will power.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The 2019 Water Plan identifies the need to improve water system reliability and redundancy to ensure potable water demands can be met for a limited duration in the event of an emergency caused by the failure of primary infrastructure such as pump station components and delivery pipelines, planned outages for critical maintenance, or replacement of primary components.
The purpose of this equipment purchase is to acquire a mobile generator to provide power to the previously purchased mobile pump station that will be used to supply current and future indoor water demands during an emergency.
