AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of low bid and authorization to issue a Purchase Order to
USA Power Systems, Inc. for a 600kW generator system for the PK Sheriff's Substation and Public
Defender's Office.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The original plan was to use two old used 60kW generators to power a
small portion of the building's emergency electrical requirements. Our architect for this project
estimated it would cost approximately $250,000.00 to provide emergency electrical power for the
whole building. Public Works' staff estimated that we could buy and install the generator in-house for
approximately $100,000.00 which would fit in the current budget. This final course of action was
selected. On October 23, 2003, seven (7) bids were received and all met the minimum specifications.
The bids range from $95,275.000 to $189,786.00.
