Mona Council approves $14,995 emergency generator installation, authorizes up to $10,000 for gas line
Summary
Council approved purchase and installation of an emergency generator for the city building at $14,995 and authorized up to $10,000 for running a gas line, to be paid from the gas parts budget.
The Mona City Council approved installation of a $14,995 emergency generator for the city building and authorized up to $10,000 for Nephi Gas to run a gas line to the unit.
The council was told three bids were obtained and the selected bid was the lowest. Staff said Nephi Gas agreed not to charge labor for installing the gas line and would charge only for parts. Staff clarified the gas meter must be upgraded for the generator connection and said the cost for meter upgrade and parts would come from the city’s gas parts budget rather than requiring additional appropriations.
Why it matters: staff noted the generator would allow the city building to serve as a command center during a natural disaster or earthquake.
Council action: after discussion and brief questions about budget source and installation location, a motion to approve the $14,995 installation and the additional cost of running the gas line (up to $10,000) was made, seconded and recorded as approved.
Implementation: staff will proceed with procurement and coordinate with Nephi Gas; the council noted the city will use existing gas parts budget and will upgrade the meter as needed.
