Authorizing Execution of a Contract with Wright Pierce for Emergency Generator Design Services in the
Amount of $116,200
The WWTP has requested proposals for design services for an Emergency Generator to provide
power to the WWTP during emergency power outages. The City of Bangor’s discharge permit,
requires the WWTP be capable of treating wastewater during power outages, by supplying “alternate
power supplies”. In the past Emera had multiple feeds into the plant to allow for a switchover
should one power supply fail. However, the backup feeds have deteriorated and are no longer an
option. Therefore, the WWTP is moving forward with the plans for the installation of an on-site
generator.
There were six bids for this project ranging from $31,330 to $209,532. After reviewing the
proposals, staff recommendation is to award the contract to Wright-Pierce in the amount of
$116,200. Wright-Pierce is an Engineering Company that primarily focuses on water, wastewater,
and infrastructure projects for municipal and private clients. Their proposal clearly demonstrated
their extensive relevant experience and their attention to detail, including building designs and
understanding of electrical systems and cost-savings available in design of a backup power system.
