9. Authorize the City Manager to Procure a Diesel Generator for Lift Station No.166 from Cummins Inc, in the Amount of $78,001.29 (Event No. 8072)
Strategic Priority
Good Government
Description

Recommend approval to procure a Diesel Generator and Transfer Switch from Cummins, Inc. in the amount of $78,001.29. This generator system will provide power to the lift station to ensure sanitary sewer service to City customers in the Highlands and Godley Area during power outages.

The system is critical in preventing sewer backups into homes and businesses and sewer spills due to the proximity to wetlands near Highlands Blvd. and St. Augustine Creek.

This purchase will be made using the Sourcewell Cooperative Contract No. 120617-CMM. The contract was competitively bid by Sourcewell and awarded to Cummins Inc. The contract expires on January 29, 2022. The City of Savannah’s purchasing ordinance Section 2-4152 authorizes the use of cooperative purchasing agreements.
