Explanation
The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an agreement with JD Power Systems LLC for the Transport and Installation of a 75 KW Generator for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage, Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant has a need for a 75 KW generator to be removed and transported from the wastewater treatment plant and installed at the 250 W. Whittier Street location. The generator will be used to power gates at the Whittier Street storm tanks. The current generator at the Whittier Street storm tanks has reached it's useful life and is not operating properly to ensure proper gate operations. Because of the age of the current equipment the generator could fail to perform completely. The Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant has a larger generator that can be removed and installed at the Whittier Street location. It is more cost effective for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage to transport the larger generator than to purchase a new piece of equipment.
The Director of Public Utilities opened formal bids on August 5, 2009. Four (4) bids were received. A bid tabulation follows:
JD Power Systems: $32,499.00
Jess Howard Electric: $33,350.00

SUPPLIER: JD Power Systems LLC (26-3637530) Expires: 8-20-11
FISCAL IMPACT: $32,499.00 is budgeted and needed for this purchase.
The company is not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.
