City awards bid for generators at Fire Stations 3 and 4 to improve emergency resilience
Summary
The city awarded a construction bid to Burke Engineering (contractor named in committee) to install emergency generators at two older fire stations to ensure faster door operation and station resilience during power outages.
City staff said older Fire Stations 3 and 4 lack emergency backup power, a shortcoming that affects the speed of station doors and crew response during outages. Public works staff presented bids for generator installation and recommended the low bidder, Burke Engineering, to install station-sized generators that will provide backup power for door motors and critical systems.
Staff said the generators are modest in size but important for operational resilience and that the procurement received competitive proposals. The committee approved moving the award forward.
No construction start date was announced; staff said the city will coordinate installation scheduling and follow standard procurement and inspection processes.
