Summary:
On February 25, 2014, Wastewater Division discovered that all three (3) emergency generators at the Iron Bridge facility were diagnosed with leaking turbo chargers. If the generators were not repaired, there could be a catastrophic failure resulting in Iron Bridge not having emergency power. Loss of power would have created an environmental disaster with potentially millions of gallons of under/untreated sewage being discharged from the facility or possibly overflowing manholes and flowing down the streets. In addition, catastrophic failure of a generator could cost up to approximately $1,000,000 per failed generator in replacement cost.
The Wastewater Division proceeded with the emergency repairs to avoid catastrophic failure. Florida Detroit Diesel-Allison (FDDA) made the repairs due to their familiarity and expertise in repairing generator turbochargers. In addition FDDA currently has a contract with the City to provide generator preventive maintenance. The total amount of the repairs is $176,306.22.
No City Certified M/WBE suppliers are registered to provide this service. |
