County Orders Manual Transfer Switch, Docking Station to Support Courthouse Generator
Summary
Commissioners approved buying a manual transfer switch and docking station to provide backup power to the courthouse generator from Proven Coastal Power Products, citing budget limits on full replacement.
Chambers County commissioners approved procurement of a manual transfer switch and docking station from Proven Coastal Power Products to augment the courthouse’s backup power.
Presenting the item, a staff member said the county recently received delivery of a new 100 kW unit and that the docking station and manual transfer switch would provide backup to the existing generator because the budget did not allow for a full replacement. A commissioner asked, "So instead of replacing it, we're adding a docking station?" The presenter confirmed the docking station and manual transfer switch would be a fail-safe if the generator does not start.
Commissioner Tice moved to approve the purchase; the motion passed by voice vote. The item did not include a detailed contract number or a fully specified dollar amount in the public discussion (the packet line read ambiguously as $54.04 out of CO224).
