Quotes differ on price and delivery; Bilbrough to re-quote after site visit
Summary
Kelly Generator offered a Generac 130 kW for $54,500 with 6–8 week delivery, while General Power quoted slower options and higher shipping; Bilbrough Electric based its $8,900 estimate on Kelly specs and will revisit the site to finalize pricing against General Power proposals.
Town staff presented detailed vendor quotes for a diesel generator to replace the broken propane unit. Kelly Generator quoted a Generac 130 kW at $54,500 with delivery estimated in 6–8 weeks. General Power submitted two options: a Perkins 130 kW at $52,051 plus shipping with a 12–14 week delivery estimate and a Perkins 150 kW listed in stock at $55,573 plus $2,273 shipping (total $57,846).
Bilbrough Electric provided an electrical-work estimate of $8,900 that was prepared around Kelly Generator’s specifications. Minutes record Bilbrough will need to perform a site visit to prepare a comparable quote based on General Power’s specifications, which were received the same morning. The varying delivery timelines and shipping costs were material considerations for council members when deciding to proceed with the local, in-contract vendor.
