Title
Main Pump Station Emergency Generator Repair - Proposal
History
Staff experienced failure of the back-up emergency generator that is responsible to provide emergency power to the Village’s Main Pump Station. In order to repair this critical component associated with the consistent and timely delivery of water, staff contacted Electrical Systems, Inc., (ESI) East Hazel Crest, Illinois. ESI’s costs include $12,292.50 for parts and $2,986.00 for labor for a total of $15,278.50.
ESI has experience in repairing water-system electrical components and have assisted with emergency repairs in the past. Due to the importance of the backup generator, and the time it takes to order and receive parts, ESI was contacted so that the parts could be ordered in conjunction with the committee and board approval process.
On January 5, 2015, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in account 031-6002-461700 and 031-6002-443200 to cover the cost for this emergency repair.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve to the Board to accept the proposal from Electrical Systems, Inc. for the repair of the Main Pump Station Emergency Generator at a cost not to exceed $15,278.50.
