This contract furnishes all materials, parts, labor, equipment, transportation and appurtenances necessary to provide on-site preventive generator system maintenance and repair services for Fulton County.

The Scope of Work also includes, but is not limited to:

  • The regular and systematic examination, adjustment, lubrication, replacement and preventive maintenance of all components including automatic transfer switches.

  • All ordinary wear and tear, regardless of cause, not including internal engine parts.

  • All required tests and written reports.

  • Replacement or repairs caused by fluctuations in the main AC power systems.

  • Quarterly and annual inspection services such as fuel system, cooling system, lubrication system, combustion air intake system, engine system, electrical system, generator and automatic transfer switches.

 

Community Impact: This maintenance contract provides back up power to 26 critical locations throughout Fulton County including Fulton County Executive Airport - Charlie Brown Field, North and South service centers, senior centers, and health facilities. The nonfunctioning generator system could disrupt the service operation that provides quality programs to the citizens of Fulton County

 

Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management recommends approval.

 

The Stand-by Generator, working in conjunction with the uninterrupted power supply system (UPS), ensures continuity of operations of the critical Emergency Communication Center in the event of a main power outage.  The system is essential for maintaining the mission critical services offered by the E911 Communications Center to the citizens of Fulton County.

The existing generator was installed in 1997 and has reached the end of its life cycle.   The unit has become very unreliable even after several repairs.  Normal life expectancy for a generator is 20 years or less, depending on the operation needs and advancement of technology.  

The requested increase in the amount of $105,258 will cover the cost for the planned capital replacement.  Current remaining spending authority ($30,744.50) will not be sufficient to facilitate this planned capital project after covering costs for preventive maintenance support and generator repairs for generator systems providing emergency back-up power for 26 Fulton County facilities through the remainder of FY2021.

Historical Expenditures:

                     FY2020: The County allocated expenditures as of 9/16/2020, $69,255.50

                     FY2019: The County spent $63,000.00

                     FY2018: The County spent $75,936.13

                     FY2017: The County spent $62,000.00

 

Project Implications: This increase in spending authority will allow the Department to provide capital replacement for an existing malfunctioning generator system and installation of a new 150kw generator system in the 911 Communication Center.

 

Community Issues/Concerns: None of which the Department is aware.

 

Department Issues/Concerns: If this increase in spending authority is not approved, there will be a delay in the replacement and installation of a new generator system located in the 911 Communication Center.
