BUSINESS:
Sewer Generator:
Earth Tech presented options for cost reduction of the original lowest generator bid presented by Kohler. (See attached letter)
Options are summarized as follows:
Original 60 Kilowatt Unit $27850.00
50 Kilowatt Unit without Sound Attenuation $26225.00
27 Kilowatt Unit without Sound Attenuation $23750.00
27 Kilowatt Unit without Sound Attenuation and without Welder $22750.00
Kohler has granted an extension on these prices for 30-60 days from this date.
The 27 Kilowatt unit would be sufficient to operate the existing 10 horsepower pumps but would not accommodate larger pumps, if necessary, for future development.
Another option discussed was the removal of the Electric brakes at a cost savings of $650.00.
The Diesel aspect was described as more reliable, more durable, longer lasting and capable of more power which out weights the difference in fuel costs.
Rutta suggested the 27 KW unit without sound attenuation or electric brakes but maintain the welder.
The board is wondering if the Village already owns a smaller portable unit that will accommodate the welder.
One resident was in favor of purchasing the largest Unit.
Some residents were concerned about having to obtain a loan to purchase the generator. The treasurer reported there is approximately a $ 34,000.00 balance in the required “Replacement Fund” designed to be used for these types of purchases.
The decision is tabled to check on the portable unit for the welder and confer with Maintenance Bob on the aspect of the 27 Kilowatt capacity.
