Cole County selects Caterpillar generator for Juvenile Family Center after comparing bids
Summary
After comparing two state-contract proposals for the new Juvenile Family Center, the commission chose a Caterpillar unit citing compatibility and price/lead-time considerations; commissioners approved the purchase by voice vote.
Project staff presented two state-contract proposals for the Juvenile Family Center generator — one from Caterpillar and one from Cummins — and walked commissioners through price and lead-time differences. The transcript records Caterpillar at roughly '153,177' and Cummins at '154,500' and lists lead times (Caterpillar generator 26–30 weeks; Caterpillar ATS 34–36 weeks; Cummins generator 19 weeks; Cummins ATS 13 weeks). Staff said both units were standard equipment and compatible with county needs.
After discussion about parts availability, lead time and prior vetting of the Caterpillar design by the design team, a commissioner moved to accept the Caterpillar proposal; the motion was seconded and the commission approved the selection on a voice vote. Staff noted that Clark Power Services is familiar with both units and that the county would proceed with procurement steps.
