Committee moves forward on mobile generator and awards $1.25M contract for three backup generators
Summary
The committee approved a mobile generator purchase for $143,335 (Nixon Power Services) and a Coleman Construction contract for three stationary building backup generators totaling $1,245,931 to restore and add backup power at Fire Station 16, Building C, and the Exhibition Center.
County staff presented two related procurement items aimed at improving emergency power resilience across county facilities.
Prather introduced a request to purchase a mobile generator under state contract with Nixon Power Services for $143,335 to provide Fleet a mobile backup capability so staff can avoid using other departments’ generators during failures. "A backup for a backup in this case is gonna be good," Commissioner/Presenter (speaker 4) said, noting county response during recent hurricanes and station generator outages.
Prather then presented a low-bid contract recommendation with Coleman Construction for three stationary building backup generators at Fire Station 16 (failed generator), Building C (end of life) and the Exhibition Center (no generator), with a contract amount of $1,245,931. The contract specifies diesel-powered, stationary units; staff said they evaluated fuel and site needs with fleet and electrical engineers. The committee moved both items to consent and approved them by voice; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.
