Council authorizes three-year generator maintenance contract to support emergency operations
Summary
Council authorized the city manager to negotiate and execute a three-year agreement with Clifford Power Systems for generator maintenance across city facilities and water/wastewater sites for up to $79,755.30, including load-bank testing and regular servicing.
The council authorized the city manager to negotiate and execute a three-year maintenance agreement with Clifford Power Systems to service emergency generators at city facilities and remote water and wastewater sites.
Staff explained that the contract would create a routine maintenance schedule, including oil changes and load-bank testing that puts generators under test loads to ensure they operate when needed in an emergency. "This would allow us to be a little bit more specific, get us in a good routine on proper maintenance," staff said, emphasizing the value of periodic load-bank testing beyond weekly automatic starts.
Council voted to authorize the manager to negotiate and execute the agreement not to exceed $79,755.30 under contract number 757-24. Staff said the work was intended to reduce unexpected failures and to standardize maintenance across the city's generator fleet.
What happens next: staff will finalize contract terms and begin scheduled maintenance and testing across identified generator sites.
