An Asset management System is utilized to track the Town's facilities and fleet assets. Staff reviews assets on an annual basis to determine which assets warrant replacement. The Police Department and Fire Station 1 facility generators are 24 years old and have exceeded their effective useful life of approximately 20 years.
Due to the complexity and importance of having reliable generators for these public safety facilities, General Services is requesting approval to procure and replace these generators with McKinstry Essention, LLC under the TIPS Cooperative Purchasing Contract # 21020302.
Purchasing cooperatives solicit competitive bids from many vendors offering products and services for their members. Purchasing through a cooperative streamlines the procurement process for public entities, resulting in a savings of both administrative time and money.
McKinstry Essention, LLC provided professional service by assessing each generator and conducting the generator study. Additionally, they are working with the Town on Phase I and Phase II of the bond projects currently underway. McKinstry Essention, LLC has completed the entire bidding process to-date and is ready to move forward with the procurement and installation of the generators.
