Council approves generator procurement for Fire Station 4 through consent agenda
Summary
Staff recommended awarding RFP 2538 for two generators at the new Fire Station 4/EOC complex to Brandt Companies, funded in part by FEMA hazard mitigation grants; the procurement was included in the consent agenda and approved along with related funding matches.
KILLEEN, Texas — As part of the consent agenda the City Council approved awarding a contract to Brandt Companies LLC for acquisition and installation of two backup generators at the new Fire Station 4/EOC complex; staff said FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program awards cover a substantial portion of the costs.
Fire department staff described the project as two generators—one serving the support services/office/training building and one serving the fire station and EOC—intended to keep mechanical and IT systems online during outages. Staff said the procurement followed competitive bidding procedures and that Brandt was deemed the best value. Staff provided multiple cost figures during the presentation, including line-item amounts for each building and matching city contributions; they also said grant performance periods require installation before FEMA deadlines.
The project was included in the consent package and approved by council in the consent vote. Staff said procurement and installation timeline commitments are intended to meet grant performance periods and that generator long lead times were considered during vendor selection.
