The uuit also contains a fuel cell <br />which Guidant prefers not to house in the same area as our employees. <br /> <br />The generalor location was based on accessibility to the incoming utilities and available space in <br />the shipping/receiving area as discussed with CB Commercial Real Est'l1e Group, the property <br />management ftrm. <br /> <br />The generator is being purchased for business continuity. In order to maintain product supply to <br />customers in the field, the Round Lake facility must be operational during power outages. <br /> <br />Manufacturers sound level information has been attached for you to review. Operation of lhe <br />generator would be during power outages and during preventive maintenance. Preventive <br />maintenance would be performed on a monthly basis. We have not determined how long the unit <br />would run during the scheduled preventive maintenance. <br /> <br />At this time we have not planned on any fencing or plants to screen the generator. We would <br />purchase a sound attenuated weatherproof enclosure. The enclosure is painted and provides a <br />very clean appearance. We would protect the unit with concrete poles to prevent vehicles or <br />trucks from damaging the unit. Additional lighting hasn't been considered at this time, <br /> <br />If you have any questions, comments or would like to discuss the above information feel free to <br />contact me. Thanks. <br /> <br />swrely,t? . <br />rJ1[l~il!!!;-- <br /> <br />Facilities Supervisor <br />651-582-2963 <br /> <br />REC <br /> <br /> <br />AUG - 6 1999 <br /> <br />Guidant Corporation <br />4100 Hamline Avenue North, St Paul, MN 55112-5798 <br />Tel 651.582.4000 Fax651.582.4166 <br />www.guidanl.com <br /> <br />erN Ot <br /> <br />
