Notification of an emergency purchase and installation of a generator motor from TAW Power Systems in the amount of $553,216.48. The existing generator motor at the President Street facility failed during the last hurricane event and had to be replaced. Without a generator motor, the President Street facility has no back-up power. In the event of a power failure, the facility must have back-up generator power in order for the plant to continue to perform its vital water treatment functions.

This vendor was selected because it was the first able to immediately respond with the necessary equipment and services. This purchase includes the cost of the motor and all necessary equipment for the installation, including crane and rigging, testing, and disposing of old parts and fluids. TAW Power Systems will provide certified technicians until assembly, start up, and testing are complete. The technicians will certify and provide the warranty for the motor as well.
