Summary Background:
In the Summer of 2021 construction was completed on the new Department of Public Works (DPW) facility. Staff have been outfitting the building with Fixtures, Furniture, and Equipment (FF&E) since occupancy was granted in July. One of the last major pieces of equipment to be procured is the backup generator. Once the generator is received it will allow the facility to be used as a 24-hour emergency operation center that can operate during inclement weather as well as manmade and natural disasters allowing the Department to fulfill its mission to the City.
Next Steps:
Issue Purchase Order and place the order.
Fiscal Impact:
Not to Exceed $130,000
