Roswell awards FEMA-funded generator contract for water treatment plant
Summary
The city awarded a contract to Native Instinct LLC to supply and install a backup generator at a water treatment plant using FEMA/GEMA grant funds; the contract was approved unanimously.
The Roswell Mayor and City Council on June 30 approved awarding a contract not to exceed $324,802.56 to Native Instinct LLC to supply a backup generator for a City of Roswell water treatment plant. The project is funded in part by a FEMA/GEMA grant the city received earlier this year.
Brian Watson, director of Environmental Public Works, told council staff submitted a FEMA/GEMA grant application in October 2022 and in March 2025 the council approved acceptance of about $573,000 from FEMA and GEMA for a backup generator project. Under federal grant procurement rules, the city solicited quotes on the open market; Watson said the city received 11 quotes on May 29 ranging from $313,307.25 to $565,000 and that Native Instinct’s quote of $324,802.56 was the most responsive and responsible.
“Staff recommends awarding the contract to Native Instinct in an amount $324,802.56,” Watson said. Council member David Johnson moved approval; Mayor Pro Tem Lee Hills seconded. The council voted 6-0 to approve the award.
Watson recommended the contract award based on responsiveness to the solicitation and the federal grant procurement requirements; council did not record additional conditions or policy changes at the meeting. The award authorizes the mayor and/or city administrator to execute the contract and use the FEMA/GEMA grant funds to cover eligible costs.
