Re: Ground Power Unit (GPU) purchase recommendation
Date: June 15, 2009
As part of the ground handling division, the Airport maintains a small fleet of four (4)
ground power units (GPU's). A GPU is used to supply electrical power to an aircraft
during servicing. It is a vital component of the ground handling services package the
Airport provides to our customers.
During FY 2009, the Bangor City Council approved the purchase of two (2) replacement
ground power units. The two units the airport needs to replace are 1977 models with
over 10,000 working hours on each. Recently, one unit has been decommissioned and is
used for parts only because the generator has stopped working. The second unit
remains operational but with limited capabilities. Both units have been rebuilt by our
Ground Support Shop mechanics. According to the GSE Shop, it is no longer cost
effective to continue to rebuild these units. Also, they are outdated for the larger aircraft
currently in service.
The two units which the airport is seeking to purchase must have the capability of
servicing up to and including the Airbus 380. The new units would provide more power
(140 kVA) than the existing units (90 kVA). The increased power is required on the
larger aircraft such as the B-747, B-777, and the Airbus 380.
The Airport developed a detailed Return on Investment (ROI) based on specific criteria
such as overall cost, historical data collected from the current units, revenue generated
by the units and an anticipated 25-30 year life cycle of a new unit. Based on this
information, the Airport would expect a payback in year three (3) of the anticipated life
cycle for both units.
The Airport originally budgeted $100,369.00 for the purchase of two (2) replacement
GPU's. After a careful review of the proposed qualified bids, the Airport respectfully
submits for Finance Committee approval the recommendation to award the bid to TLD
America from Windsor, CT, the lowest qualified bidder for the purchase price of
$101,456.00. The Airport will use funds from account # 8565-91003250 (FY 08 Carry-
forward account) for the additional $1,078.00.
