ITEM 10: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO THE
AWARD OF A CONTRACT FOR REPAIR AND RESTORATION TO
SERVICE OF THE SANTA FE LIFT STATION GENERATOR.
The Santa Fe Lift Station currently utilizes a 100 kw generator to provide emergency power
generation during periods of extensive power outages. That generator has not been operational
for approximately seven years. Replacement parts needed to get the generator operational are
fuel pump and injectors, air, oil and fuel filters, batteries, oil and antifreeze, and hoses. The
block heater also requires repair. Bid packets were prepared and submitted to six vendors which
provide generator repair services. Three bids were received and reviewed. One vendor believes
that the generator can be made operational without replacement of injectors and fuel pump.
However, once the generator is operational, the injectors and pump may require replacement.
Mr Ramey moved, seconded by Mr Ewing, to award a contract for the Santa Fe Lift Station
auxiliary power generator repair to Service and Equipment International Inc, in the amount of
$2074.25 (including funds for replacement of the fuel pump and injectors, if required); and
authorization for payment.
