Item Title:Standby Generator Replacement
Date:7/17/2019
Department:Nassau Amelia Utilities
Background:
The Nassau Amelia Utilities water plant is the sole provider of potable water to the South End island residents.  Since NAU is the sole provider, reliability of the facility is critical.  In the event of a storm or other power outage, emergency standby power is currently provided by a 250 Kilo-watt (KW) generator which was originally installed in 1974 during construction of the water plant.  The generator has been maintained over the years but due to age and availability of parts, it is becoming increasingly unreliable.  In recent years, the generator failure has been the source of two system wide boil water notices for the system and it is undersized for the electric and control upgrades planned for the water plant.  Attached is Work Authorization #CM2452-WA08 for GAI Consultants, Inc. for professional services for the replacement of the emergency standby generator at the Nassau Amelia Utilities water plant.
