DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to enter into a contract with Ferreira Coastal Construction Company, for the construction services of the Fire Department Headquarters Generator (Project).
The Project located at Fire Department Headquarters, 3205 N. Lakewood Boulevard, (Attachment A) includes the removal of the existing 75kw emergency generator and the installation of a new 500kw emergency generator, new automatic transfer switches, electrical conduit, and new wiring to the service panel.
Due to the age, wear, and condition of the existing emergency generator, the equipment cannot provide the emergency power required to meet the needs of the building in the instance of an emergency. The new emergency generator will provide the necessary energy power to the building. The Fire Department will oversee the operations and maintenance of the generator once built and commissioned.
The bid was advertised in the Long Beach Press-Telegram on December 6, 2021, and 459 potential bidders specializing in construction services were notified of the bid opportunity.
