Hanson <br />www.ci.little-canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />To: Mayor Blesener & Members of City Council <br />From: Bill Dircks, Public Works Superintendent <br />Date: January 25, 2006 <br />Re: Generator Information <br />Staff has received the quote from PowerHouse Systems for new and used generators. <br />The new generator prices are about the same as the price quoted by Ziegler for its new <br />generator. However, PowerHouse included a quote on a 1999 Multi -Quip brand <br />Generator. It has 2000 hours of use on it but has been refurbished inside and out. <br />PowerHouse is offering a one -year warranty on the unit compared to a three -year <br />warranty for the new generators. The price is $21,250. The unit is currently in Idaho so <br />staff has not been able to physically see it but PowerHouse is trying to send some pictures <br />over and has sent the specifications over already. There should not be much of a problem <br />with the number of hours already on the machine since the generator is intended mainly <br />for emergency use. Staff does not intend to use it any more than necessary. The 200 kW <br />generator the City currently owns is a year 2000 model and it has about 200 hours of use <br />on it. Therefore, it is staff's recommendation that the City purchase the 1999 Mutli -Quip <br />100 kW generator from PowerHouse Systems on the condition that is inspected by staff <br />and meets our needs. PowerHouse will have the generator shipped to Minnesota and <br />allow staff to check it out before we purchase it if the council authorizes staff to purchase <br />it. <br />3 <br />
