Kasuba Lift Station to get 250 kW standby generator; contract recommended not to exceed $118,500
Summary
Village staff told the Infrastructure Committee that the Kasuba Lift Station is at the end of its useful life, currently operating two of three pumps; staff recommended a design-build procurement for a 250 kW generator with a budgeted $125,600 and a recommended contract to Newcastle Electric not to exceed $118,500.
Village staff presented to the Infrastructure, Environment Committee a proposal to replace the standby generator at the Kasuba Lift Station, citing the facility's age and reduced pump capacity. "The lift station at at Kasuma, which is on Baldwin, North Of Rand Road is 25 years old," staff said, adding that the station "only operates 2 of 3 pumps" and has "served its useful life."
Staff recommended a design-build procurement to install a 250-kilowatt generator to run all three pumps, noted that natural gas service was not readily available at the site, and requested a waiver of the bidding process to achieve equipment compatibility. "A $125,600 is budgeted," staff said, and recommended "a contract with Newcastle Electric in an amount not to exceed $118,500." The committee voted to place the item on the council's consent agenda for final approval.
