Purchase Backup Generators
• Limited elevated storage
capacity
• Four hour peak supply
• Public health and safety
• Backup power supply
The 2012 Capital Improvement Program for the Utility Fund includes funding for an
on -site back -up power supply and automatic transfer switch to provide power to
Pearson Pump Station #1 in case of a power failure. In order to provide adequate
water system pressure throughout the city's throughout the entire distribution
system, high service pumps are used to supply water to the four (4) elevated
storage tanks. When completely full, these tanks have a combined capacity of six
(6) million gallons. During peak demand, this could be less than a four (4) hour
supply. For reasons of public health and safety, funding was provided in the CIP to
purchase an automatic backup power system capable of providing full power to the
pump station in case of a major power outage.

Purchase Backup Generators
Project scope:
• Four generator array
• Automatic Transfer switch

The original concept was to purchase a single generator large enough to power the
station. As the city's consultant started researching options, they discovered that
they were significant long term operational benefits to constructing a series of four
(4) smaller generators rather than a single large unit. While this approach has a
slightly larger up front cost, the operation and maintenance of the four - generator
series will be less expensive in the long term.
Bids were solicited for a series of generators and automatic transfer switch to fully
power the pump station including all the auxiliary components in the station. Three
(3) contractors responded to the request for bids with Kennedy Electric Inc. offering
the best value to the City.

2012 CI Budget - Generator Project $ 975,000
Additional funding needed $ 227,147
Because the 2012 CIP budget only provides $975,000 for the generator project,
staff is proposing to use left over funding from the recently completed Highway 114
— twenty -inch (20 ") water line project to complete the funding for the project.
