COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Plans and Specifications and Advertisement for Bids for Standby Generators for
Water Well and Storm Drain Pumping Stations for Sites 1 R. 7, 9, 11, and 16
MEETING DATE: January 19. 1994
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the plans and specifications for the above
project and authorize advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City's Water Master Plan recommends that backup power be
available at a minimum of one-third of the well sites. We currently
have twenty-four wells (see Exhibit A for the well locations) and
only three have standby generators that are operational. The
three locations with auxiliary power are Wells 5, 8 and 9 and Well 9 is currently out of service. The
existing generators are mostly 194Us and 50's government surplus units, are obsolete, and repair and
replacement parts are no longer available.
Geib Engineering was hired to provide plans and specifications for standby generators at seven well
sites. Two of those sites have been removed from this project because they are wells with DBCP and
have no treatment facility, thus their use would be restricted. The five remaining sites included in this
project are Wells 1R, 7, 9, 11, and 16.
The bid proposal asks for two types of quotes: a purchase of the generators and lease option plans for
various torms. A lease/purchase arrangement will allow the cost of the generators to be spread over
time to fit our budge;. Assuming that one of the lease option plans will be recommended to Council, no
payments will be made until next fiscal year. With a lease term of five years and an interest rate of
7.5%, our annual payments would be approximately $150,000.
