Title
Vote to adopt the Project Ordinance for the Chatham County Detention Center Generator
Abstract
Introduction & Background: The generator that is currently integrated into the Detention Center's electrical system does not power the entire building as well as all daily needs for a prolonged power outage. Additionally, the current generator only powers one water heater for the kitchen and does not power any water heaters for shower usage or other needs.
Discussion & Analysis: It is recommended to purchase and install a second generator to ensure the availability of office space for shelter needs as well as an alternative Emergency Operations Center.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: N/A
Budgetary Impact: The cost for the project is $627,738 and is funded by Capital Reserve.
Recommendation/Motion: Motion to adopt the Chatham County Detention Center Generator Project Ordinance.
