Summary

After citing performance issues with the current contractor, the committee recommended a five‑year maintenance agreement with Cummins Sales & Service for courthouse and sheriff's office generators with an extended pre-tax total of $15,004.49.

Maintenance Supervisor Tom Williams told the Ways & Means Committee that the county had experienced "issues with the current maintenance contractor's performance with service on the units," and presented a five‑year planned equipment maintenance proposal from Cummins Sales & Service.

The Cummins proposal covers full-service inspections, oil and filter changes, load‑bank testing options and remote monitoring. The proposal lists a pre‑tax extended total for the two units of $15,004.49 over five years. Committee members voted to recommend the agreement with Cummins to the full Board of Commissioners; the motion carried unanimously.

Committee materials filed as Appendix B include the Cummins scope, site and serial-number details and options for load‑bank testing and sampling. The recommendation is a committee-level approval to place the proposed service contract before the Board for final authorization.
