Re: Emergency Waukesha generator repair at WWTF
Pursuant to 5-90 (G) of the NRO, | have authorized emergency repair of the non-functional Waukesha
generator at the WWTF. The repairs will be performed by Highland Power of Brockton, MA in an amount of
$17,379.
By way of background the Waukesha generator became non-functional on 4/19/17. Since the generator is
outdated WWTF was required to have two turbos rebuilt instead of buying new turbos as replacements.
Due to the nature of this repair, reinstallation of the turbos and the work completed to get the generator
back up and operational, Highland Power was unable to provide a quote prior to completing the work.
Highland Power has an existing contract with the City of Nashua for repairs and has been the sole
provider of repairs and maintenance to the Waukesha generator since 2008. The Waukesha
generator produces electricity for the plant and/or power grid by burning methane produced
through the digestion process.
Attached are copies of the invoices for this work which was completed between 4/15/17 when the
generator failed and 6/1/17 when repairs were completed. Funds are available in the Wastewater
Operating Budget.
Thank you,
