Explanation

1.0 BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with Kenmore Construction Co., Inc. for the Dublin Road Water Plant (DRWP) Standby Power Project, in an amount up to $10,681,257.50, for Capital Improvements Project No. 690520-100000, Division of Water Contract Number 2075.

Funds in the amount of $2,000.00 will also be encumbered with the Department of Public Service for Prevailing Wage services.

This construction contract will install two standby power generators at the Dublin Road Water Plant (DRWP). These generators will allow the plant to continue to operate during utility power outages, thereby improving the reliability of the water supply system.

Community Planning Area: “NA” since the DRWP serves several communities.
