Resolution authorizing the purchase of emergency generator through the Wisconsin Division of Federal Property for Water Reservoir and Pumping Station.

body

WHEREAS, the Fleet Services Division has received a quotation for a 2000 KW Caterpillar emergency generator; and,

 

WHEREAS, comparable emergency generator on the market may cost as much as $500,000; and,

 

WHEREAS, by purchasing and installing this stand-alone generator the Water Department at the 97th water reservoir and pumping station will no longer need to use an undersized, portable generator; and,

 

WHEREAS, the Common Council deems it to be in the best interests of the City of West Allis that the quotation from the Wisconsin Division of Federal Property be accepted because of the special purchase price offered by this State agency.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of West Allis that up to $30,000 is hereby approved to be funded through the appropriate Water Department account.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appropriate City Officials be and are hereby authorized to enter into an agreement to purchase the emergency generator.
