Village accepts donated standby generator for new Public Works building
Summary
The board accepted a donated Generac-style standby generator (estimated value about $15,000) to be installed at the new Public Works building; Ford Construction's contract will include delivery, pad placement, and hookup.
The Village of Waukesha board voted to accept a donated standby generator that a local business offered to provide for the new Public Works building. Staff said the unit is an older display model with an estimated value of about $15,000 and that Ford Construction's contract includes moving the unit to a pad on campus and performing necessary hookups as part of the construction scope.
"Delivery is free. The unit… is estimated value is about $15,000 because it is an older unit," staff said when describing the offer. Trustees discussed generator capacity and whether it would support three‑phase equipment; staff confirmed the new building will use single‑phase service for its intended operations and that the donated unit is sufficient for backup of basic building loads. A trustee moved to accept the donation and the board approved it by voice vote. Staff said the donor requested anonymity for business reasons and that delivery and installation costs are included in the previously approved construction contract.
