Vice-Chairman Pritchett requested County Engineer Wyatt Blanchard to comment on the bid
proposals.
County Engineer Blanchard reported that the Water and Sewer District has over 100
wastewater pump stations and wells. To provide power to the lift stations during outages and
hurricanes, the State requires the District to have a generator on the site or the capability of providing
a portable generator to the site. Currently, 60 percent of pump stations have an on-site generator
with the remaining stations being served by portable generators. For the last several years, the
District has continued to purchase a few generators annually to have an on-site generator at most of
the pump stations.
County Engineer Blanchard advised that bids have been received from four companies and
Staff recommends award of the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Geneva Corporation d/b/a
Covington Diesel.
