November 15, 2008

The generators are being installed at sewage lift stations around the town, funded by a half million dollar grant. . The grant money was used purchase 17 generators and one transfer switch for $405,198. Another $88,000 went toward administrative and engineering fees, and the remaining $6,000 went toward any cost overruns.
The generators range from 15 to 35 thousand watts. They will be placed on concrete pads next to the lift stations. Sixteen will run off the town’s natural gas system, and one is diesel powered.
The generator bid was awarded to North Florida Construction Company.
