County to pursue replacement of sheriff’s office backup generator; engineering bid scope estimated $32,990
Summary
An engineering proposal to prepare plans and bid documents for replacing the Sheriff's Office backup generator system was reviewed; engineering costs are estimated at $32,990 with total project around $200,000 because current equipment and propane tank no longer support critical systems.
Charlie Smith reviewed a proposal from Hultz BHU Engineers to develop plans and bid documents for replacement of the Sheriff's Office backup generator system at an engineering cost of $32,990 and a total estimated project cost of approximately $200,000.
The assessment noted the existing generators and propane tank are at the end of their useful life and do not provide backup power to several critical systems; commissioners recommended moving forward but asked the Sheriff’s Office to look for additional funding to offset costs.
No formal funding appropriation was recorded at the meeting; the item was discussed as a recommended next step with instructions to seek additional funding sources.
