NO. 16 -049) <br />{STRATEGIC PLAN NO. 6, 1C} <br />CITY MAN R <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />❑ <br />As Recommended <br />❑ <br />As Amended <br />❑ <br />Ordinance on 16' Reading <br />❑ <br />Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />❑ <br />Implementing Resolution <br />❑ <br />Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize a one -time purchase and payment of purchase order to Quinn Company for the <br />procurement of an emergency diesel generator set in the amount of $179,658 with a 10 percent <br />contingency for a total amount not to exceed $197,625, subject to nonsubstantive changes <br />approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Public Works Water Resources Division operates 20 water wells and 7 water pumping <br />stations to supply the City's drinking water. These facilities require uninterrupted electrical power <br />in order to operate. When power from Southern California Edison fails at a particular station, it is <br />essential to have an immediate source of backup power onsite to ensure continuous operation of <br />the facility. Consequently, the goal of the Water Resources Division is to place a backup <br />generator at 12 critical well sites and pumping stations. This particular generator set will be used <br />to provide power to the Walnut pumping station, a centrally located station that can strategically <br />move water most efficiently throughout the City's water distribution network. The emergency <br />diesel standby generator will supply power, ensuring that residents do not experience a loss of <br />service due to power failure. <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on March 18, 2016, on the City's online bid management <br />and publication system.
