COUNCIL GOALS:
• Enhance the local environment for future generations and create a healthy economic and environmental future by committing to purchasing specific products and goods that are climate friendly.
• Enhance the local environment for future generations and create a healthy economic and environmental future by promoting programs that encourage reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department, Support Services Division is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the emergency generators. The first generator is an emergency generator, powering the Public Works building in the event of power loss during a state of emergency. The second generator is an emergency generator specifically wired to connect to the Barbee lift station, in the event of a power loss at the lift station, there is limited time to connect this generator and make the lift station operational before overfilling.
The two generators recommended for purchase have been selected because they no longer meet the air quality requirements from SCAQMD (South Coast Air Quality Management District) PERP (Portable Equipment Registration Program) and need to be upgraded to meet Tier 4 emission standards.
Fontana City Code Article V- Purchasing Section 10-152(4) authorizes bidding to be exempt since the competitive bidding was already conducted by another agency. Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize this purchase between Multiquip and the City, and to “Piggyback” off the Sourcewell Contract for these two (2) portable generators.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding in the amount $221,415.00 for the purchase of two (2) portable generators has been approved in the FY 2024/2025 budget as part of the Fleet Services capital replacement in Account No. 75137306-8319.
MOTION:
Approved staff recommendation.
