Dear Mr. Kooken
The Communications Division is requesting to purchase a 50 Kilowatt generator at our
Communications Site on Shakespeare Road. This generator will be utilized in case of a power
failure and ensures that power is maintained at the site for emergency communications. The
current generator has been in place for 17+ years. This generator has been inoperative for
nearly 2 years due to the cost and inability to repair the unit. We have a mobile generator on
site as a temporary solution. It is our intent to improve the longevity of the new generator by
housing it within its own building. This will ensure that the unit will not be exposed to the
elements and will improve its reliability of operation.
The Communications Division and the Radio Committee, recommend awarding the purchase to
Kohler Co., Kohler Power Systems in the amount of $13,377.83. GSA Contract #:GS-07F-
019DA. Quote Number 21222038. Funding is available in Citywide Communications Capital
Projects accounts
57.5050 81300 2008.57.15.01 81300
Sincerely,
William Mansfield
