Adopt Resolution # 17-11-263 Accepting Quotes and Awarding Contract for the Installation of Emergency Generator for Well #3, Improvement Project # 17-06

Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to adopt resolution # 17-11-263 accepting quotes and awarding a contract for the  installation of an emergency generator for well # 3, Improvement  Project # 17-06.  This project is listed in the 2017-2026 CIP under Water Improvements.
Background:
Currently we have one emergency generator connected to well # 5 which produces a maximum of 850 gallons per minute. Our current  consumption rate is 1120 GPM.  In a extended  power outage we would not be able to keep up with our daily demand for water.  The second emergency generator would be connected to Well # 3 which  produces 1650 GPM and would give us the ability to meet our current daily demand under emergency conditions.

At the March 21st , 2017  PW Committee meeting the committee accepted staff recommendation to enter into a contract with Bolton & Menk Inc. to provide design and construction management for the purchase and installation of an emergency backup natural gas generator for Well # 3, with a  not to exceed amount of $11,310.00.  Bolten & Menk Inc. has prepared plans and specifications and received quotes  from three qualified contractors.  The  quotes received were as follows:

Contractor	Total Quote
Killmer Electric	$90,500.00
Meier Electric	Did not Submit
Levin Electric	Did not Submit

Because of  Killmers original quote of $195,000.000 staff chose to go with a diesel generator, instead of the natural gas option originally proposed to the PW committee. Staff also explored options of buying the generator outright though one of our cooperative purchasing memberships.The city will now purchase  the diesel generator directly through our membership with the National Joint Powers Alliance.  By switching to a diesel generator and having the city purchase the generator set, the cost of the generator is now $53,684.61, instead of the originally quoted price of $101,000.00 through the contractor for a natural gas generator.  The total cost of the project is now $144,184.61
