The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to execute a contract with Wilson and Cofield Electric Service, Inc to procure and install a whole-site diesel generator at the Northern Durham Convenience Site for an amount not to exceed $395,413.64.

The proposed work includes backup power for site-wide functions, including the compactor areas, lighting, water system, and operational buildings. HDR developed design documents, assisted with bidding, and will provide construction administration for the implementation of this work.
Wilson and Cofield Electric Service, Inc have committed to 5.1% MBWE participation.
