Summary
Council authorized the city manager to negotiate and execute a three-year agreement with Clifford Power Systems for emergency generator maintenance and load-bank testing for city facilities and water/wastewater sites, not to exceed $79,755.30.
The Buda City Council on Feb. 18 authorized a three-year maintenance agreement with Clifford Power Systems to provide service for the city’s emergency generators at municipal facilities and at select water and wastewater sites. The three-year total is not to exceed $79,755.30 and will cover preventive maintenance and load-bank testing.
Public Works staff said existing generator checks are performed weekly but the contract will provide scheduled maintenance, oil changes and formal load-bank testing to verify generators operate under full load conditions. Staff said the work will improve reliability and provide actionable diagnostics so the city is better prepared during extended power outages.
Mike Knappendorf, who presented the item, praised staff work to identify a qualified vendor and said the vendor selection was not straightforward given the technical requirements. Council approved the authorization by voice vote without public comment.
The contract will be executed under an available vendor contract and is budgeted from operations; staff will schedule recurring maintenance and report back as service milestones are met.
