County approves $75,000 feasibility study for hazardous-mitigation generator projects
Summary
The court approved G & W Engineering to perform a feasibility study for HMGP-backed standby and public safety generators and amended the motion to include a project cost of $75,000; staff cited years of rental and repair costs as justification and a 14-week study timeline.
Aransas County Commissioners Court on Aug. 31 approved an agreement with G & W Engineering to perform a feasibility study for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) generator projects, including a standby generator for the detention center and a public safety center generator. Commissioners amended the motion to specify a project cost of $75,000 before voting to approve the engagement.
County staff provided cost history to justify the work: "We spent $21,000 on rentals as far as the generator breaking down, and then we have to rent something," staff said, and later summarized repairs and maintenance totaling roughly $64,000 for the public safety center since 2023 and about $20,000 at the detention center. G & W told the court its report would take about 14 weeks if the county moves forward immediately.
