Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board approve as presented.
Body
An uninterruptable power supply (UPS) is a fundamental component of the DPU water and electric SCADA systems. The UPS contains an integral battery back-up that keeps the systems powered in the event of a power failure. The existing UPS has been in service almost 20 years and is at the end of it's useful life. Four bids were received and Nationwide Power Solutions submitted the lowest responsive bid.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
The cost will be split equally between the electric production and the water production funds. This is a budgeted capital improvement project.
