MEMO <br /> DATE : August 18, 2000 <br /> TO : Honorable Mayor and Council <br /> FROM: Jim March <br /> RE : City/Fire Hall Generator <br /> Attached are the quotes that were received for the proposed new generator that would <br /> operate the City Hall and Fire Hall during an emergency. Fire Chief Milo Bennett will be <br /> in attendance to discuss the quotes. Chief Bennett is recommending that the bid be <br /> awarded to Gephart Electric. Fifty percent of the funds needed to purchase this generator <br /> will come from the Fire District's operation of charitable gambling. <br /> There is an identical generator being purchased by the City of Lino Lakes. The <br /> Centerville generator bid is higher because we would require additional natural gas <br /> piping. The proposed generator will operate on natural gas. The generator will be <br /> capable of powering all operations of the building, but will not power the well located at <br /> City Hall. This is not as critical now that the water interconnect is functional. The <br /> generator would be sized large enough to also power a potential additional warning siren, <br /> if one would eventually be added to the City Hall site. <br /> As we have discussed this item previously, I would recommend that the Council <br /> authorize this purchase. <br />
