BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Genesee County Parks and Recreation staff requests the approval of an expense to Wolverine Power Systems for the purchase of Generac generators for Parks facilities, in a total amount not to exceed $108,675.00.
BACKGROUND:
Parks currently does not have stationary generators. Parks utilizes portable generators that are transported, as needed. To improve facilities and services available to staff and the public, the department is seeking approval to purchase and install stationary stand by generators at three facilities to ensure safe efficient operations in the event of a power outage.
Parks Administration Building - This facility is a 24/7 emergency operation center with the Ranger Division. It is also the center hub for reservations, finance, and public contact.
Maintenance Garage - Generator will ensure the continued operation of the fuel pumps. During power outages, the closest location for fuel is Linden, if Genesee is out of power.
Wolverine Campground - Generator will keep the lift stations operational as well as keep store items from spoiling.
