Public Works Agency <br />www.santa-ana.org/public-works <br />Item # 12 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br />June 20, 2023 <br />TOPIC: Purchase of Commercial Diesel Generator Set for the City’s Corporate Yard <br />AGENDA TITLE <br />Award a Purchase Order in the amount of $376,500 to Cummins, Inc. for One Commercial <br />Diesel Generator Set for the City’s Corporate Yard (Specification 23-093) (General Fund) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Authorize a one-time award and payment of Purchase Order to Cummins, Inc. for the <br />procurement of a commercial diesel generator set in the amount of $376,500, subject to <br />non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division oversees and maintains the daily <br />operations of the City’s water, sanitary sewer systems, and corporate yard facility. The <br />water system is composed of approximately 480 miles of water main, 21 groundwater <br />wells, seven pump stations, 10 reservoirs with a storage capacity of 49 million gallons, <br />four pressure-regulating stations, and seven connection points to the Metropolitan Water <br />District (MWD). The system has an average daily demand of 30 million gallons from its <br />roughly 45,000 service connections. <br />During power outage events, such as the Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) performed <br />by the City of Santa Ana’s energy provider Southern California Edison (SCE) to reduce <br />the fire risk caused by the SCE infrastructure, certain water production and corporate yard <br />equipment is rendered non-operational. The Water Resources Division is proposing to <br />replace Corporate Yard’s existing standby diesel generator. The purchase of a generator <br />will ensure that equipment at the corporate yard remains operational during power outage <br />events. <br />Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from <br />any public agency employing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell, a cooperative <br />government purchasing agency, awarded a contract to Cummins, Inc. (Contract <br />No.092222-CMM) for the procurement of electrical energy power generation equipment <br />with related parts, supplies, & services, as a result of open, competitive bidding on behalf <br />of its members, which includes government agencies. Thus, Cummins, Inc. is extending <br />the contract to the City.
