3. ALLEN FILTER PLANT EMERGENCY GENERA TOR.
In recent years rolling brownouts have become more frequent. Brown and Caldwell
Engineers were hired to determine the plant 's requirements and size of generator
necessary to meet the electrical needs of the Allen Filter Plant in an emergency.
Brown and Caldwell determined that the Caterpillar 3412 KW skid-mounted unit was the
best generator for the plant's needs. Separate bids were requested for the generator and
the associated wiring and installation. As a result , Wagner Power Equipment Company is
the recommended low, acceptable bidder for the generator set at $56 ,672.00. For the
associate d wiring and installation, Ludvik Electric in the amount of $43 ,792 .00 was the
recommended low , acceptable bidder.
