The existing emergency generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS) at Water Division Headquarters has reached the end of its useful life and requires extensive maintenance to keep it operational, as replacement parts are not available. To avoid service interruption, replacement of the existing emergency generator and ATS is proposed. The new emergency generator will ensure that electricity is available to run the water distribution computer systems and other essential activities during a power outage.
The Public Works Department has retained Gevork Consulting Engineering, Inc. to complete the design of plans and specifications for the replacement of the emergency generator and ATS. The City Council previously approved advertisement for bids on May 10, 2022.
