Board reallocates funds for generator upgrades, citing code and long-term maintenance
Summary
Supervisors approved reallocating about $33,767 to address code-related and maintenance upgrades for generators at Vernon Manor and Vernon Acres, including $12,000 to replace buried aluminum conduit with copper and small additions for testing switches and annunciator panels.
Facilities staff explained that code updates and long-term maintenance considerations require reallocation of unassigned funds to complete generator upgrades at Vernon Manor and Vernon Acres. Key cost drivers include replacing buried aluminum conduit with copper — estimated near $12,000 — a new annunciator/control panel and an $800 load-testing switch that would simplify future maintenance and testing. The worst-case reallocation request was $33,767.26, accounting for potential conduit or wiring replacements.
Staff recommended the changes to minimize future maintenance and to meet current building-code requirements. The board moved the item, took a voice vote, and approved the reallocation so work can proceed.
