Title/Name/Summary
Caterpillar Generator Purchase for Elevated Tank # 8 - Purchase
History
On November 21, 2022, the Village Board approved a contract with Era-Valdivia Contractors to complete the restoration of Elevated Tank # 10, located at 15800 88th Avenue, and Elevated Tank # 8, located at 15501 Park station Blvd.
Era-Valdivia Contractors was able to complete the restoration of Elevated Tank #10 by the contract deadline, but submitted an unrealistic schedule to complete Elevated Tank #8. Therefore, on September 5, 2023 the Board approved the cancelation of Elevated Tank #8 from Era-Valdivia Contractors’ contract with the Village.
Part of the scope for both tanks included an emergency backup generator. The generator required to meet our needs at Elevated Tank #8 requires a large sixty (60) KW Diesel Generator. Staff was notified by Altorfer of Addison, Illinois, that the generator was delivered for this project. Due to the long lead time for manufacturing and delivery of this size generator, staff recommends taking possession of the generator to be installed by the contractor selected to complete Elevated Tank #8 in the spring to avoid any delays.
Financial Impact
Funds for one (1) Caterpillar 60KW Generator is available in the FY 2023 budget and are available in 5008150-570600.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of one (1) Caterpillar Generator for an amount not to exceed of $36,414.00 from Altofer, of Addison, Illinois.
