STATUS ON ADMINISTRATION BUILDING GENERATOR
Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Status report from County Engineer regarding maintenance that will be scheduled for the Administration Building's generator, located at 1110 Washington Street. The generator has not been serviced in the last few years and is currently not operational. Quotes have been requested to ensure that the generator becomes fully functional and a maintenance contract will be pursued that will include maintenance for generators in main buildings county-wide.

Issue: In case of a power outage, the generator at the Administration Building is needed to be operational. Proper maintenance schedule was not in place and therefore the equipment is in need of extensive work.

Solution: Generator service companies have been contacted including the company that had previously provided maintenance. Maintenance will be scheduled and paid for using Building Maintenance Department's budget.

Result: In case of a power outage or other emergency, the Administration Building's generator will be fully operational. Additionally, a regular maintenance contract will be entered in the near future.
