Title
Main Pump Station - Generator Replacement - Proposal
History
A Request for Proposal was drafted by our Engineer (Greeley and Hansen LLC (G&H) of Chicago, Illinois) for the replacement of the Main Pump Station generator that failed on January 26, 2009. Two generator suppliers were identified that met the criteria as established by G&H and Village staff. To ensure equitable comparisons, two mechanical contractors were requested to work with each supplier and provide installation pricing. One generator supplier also submitted a proposal acting as the contractor. A pre-proposal meeting was held onsite at the Main Pump Station on June 12, 2009.
The proposals submitted are as follows:
Meccon Industries, Inc. of Lansing, Illinois
With Caterpillar Generator $203,200
With Katolight Generator $178,000
Genco Industries, Inc. of Crestwood, Illinois
With Caterpillar Generator $247,190
With Katolight Generator $247,190
Charles Equipment Energy Systems of Addison, Illinois

Greeley and Hansen and Village staff have reviewed the proposals and recommend accepting the proposal from Meccon Industries, Inc. utilizing the Katolight Generator (lead-time of 10-12 weeks).
Engineering for Phase II of this project including the fire protection system is being finalized. Requests for Proposal will be obtained within the next month.
