EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As your Board is aware only certain County-owned or County-operated facilities are currently equipped with standby power generation capabilities sufficient to sustain day-to-day operations during emergency situations when prime power is not available. On June 27 the Space Committee convened to establish a plan for the provision of emergency standby generators, which resulted in the July 9 recommendation to your Board of the provision of emergency standby generators for five facilities that do not currently have backup power. Consequently your Board directed staff to solicit bids for the supply of emergency standby generators and the requisite transfer switches for the following facilities:
- Animal Control, 4949 Helbush Drive, Lakeport
- Behavioral Health, 7000B South Center Drive, Clearlake
- Child Support Services, 3980 Gard Street, Kelseyville
- Social Services, 15975 Anderson Ranch Park...
