Committee Recommendation: The Finance and Administration Committee reviewed this item on June 10, 2024, and recommended __________.

CEQA Compliance: This action does not constitute a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378.

 

SUMMARY:  The Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget includes funding to purchase a backup generator for the District. Staff is requesting authorization to contract with OnPoint Generators Inc. to provide and install a 48 KW Kohler generator in the District Office located at 5 Harris Ct. This generator will be used for emergency power for onsite servers and to keep select offices running in case of power outages.

 

Staff obtained quotes from three vendors as below:

·         On Point Generators Inc. - $58,900.00

·         Switched Electric - $59,508.59 (excludes installation of gas line)

·         Day Electric - $62,144.00

 

Of the companies that responded, OnPoint Generators Inc. had the lowest price quote at $58,900 which includes all applicable permits, utility hook- ups, and a 5-year factory warranty.  OnPoint is a well-respected company that has been in business for 43 years and services the Monterey County and Central Coast. 

 

Staff is also requesting a 5% contingency for unforeseen changes during permitting or installation of the generator at the building premises and for hook-ups and connections with site utilities. This contingency will not be used unless needed.

 

RECOMMENDATION:  The Finance and Administration Committee may recommend that the Board authorize the General Manager or his designee to enter into a contract with OnPoint Generators, Inc. to provide and install a 48 KW Generator in the amount of $58,900, plus any applicable taxes and approve a 5% contingency for this project.
