CRAIG ELDRED, STREET AND UTILITIES SUPERVISOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR A STAND-BY GENERATOR AND SITE
IMPROVEMENTS TO SUPPLY EMERGENCY POWER AT THE CITY'S
MAINTENANCE CENTER
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda item is for City Council to approve a resolution
authorizing advertisement for bids for one stand-by generator to supply backup
power at the City's Maintenance Center and for the necessary site
improvements for the installation of the generator.
Historv
Previously when Prior Lake's population was much smaller, and prior to 9/11 ,
stand-by power wasn't a priority and so additional funding for a stand-by
generator was not contemplated at the time of the Maintenance Center
construction.
Current Circumstances
In the past and even recently, staff has had problems providing emergency
services for the community while the Maintenance Center is also experiencing
electric power outages. Trying to maneuver or hookup to equipment using
flashlights in the equipment storage area, and the lack of ability to provide
customer service in the office areas during emergency periods are two areas
of critical concern. The addition of a generator to this building is part of the
City's emergency preparedness measures.
ponclusion
The Capital Improvement Equipment fund has identified $90,389 for:
. a stand-by generator
. electrical improvements
. structural improvements needed to comply with all building codes
required for the installation of the generator
Kaeding and Associates were asked to write specifications, design, and
provide direction for the electrical improvements necessary to install the
generator. Oertel Architects were asked to write a specification to provide tip
up walls to match the existing exterior of the Maintenance Center garage.
ISSUES: Staff has met with the Director of Planning and Building Inspection and has
provided a site plan which meets all building permit issues required for the
construction of the walls and generator installation.
