DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative grant from the federal Department of Homeland
Securi ty, through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security.
This initiative was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of urban
areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have adequate
equipment and systems to prevent, respond to and recover from acts of
terrorism. The grant provides total reimbursement to local agencies for
equipment purchases approved and authorized by the Office of Disaster
Preparedness.
The Public Works Agency's Water Production Division requires a trailer
mounted diesel backup power generator to enhance the reliability of the
City's main water pumping station. The generator will also be used at
other water pumping stations as needed. The generator will provide
emergency backup power to the City when responding to Weapons of Mass
Destruction (WMD) events, or acts of terrorism.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on September 11 and 13, 2006 and
bids were solicited. A summary of the bids received is as follows:

Bids were received and opened on September 26, 2006. The bid received from
Ingersoll-Rand Equipment Sales did not meet the minimum specification for
the base generator and attachments, fuel system, and mounting and
enclosures, and is therefore nonresponsive. The bid received from Quinn
Company is responsive to the specification and meets the City's
requirements.
