$582K backup power generator sought for Apache Junction City Hall

A more than $580,000 contract for the purchase and installation of an emergency backup power generator for City Hall is to be considered at a February Apache Junction City Council meeting.

The council meets at 7 p.m. Feb. 4 in the council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd. to vote on the $582,500 contract with Empire Power Systems. The work would be through the Sourcewell cooperative contract No. 092222-CAT.

The diesel 400-kilowatt generator would kick on when electricity from Salt River Project goes out. The generator will last up to two days on a tank of diesel depending on the utility load, Public Works Manager Shane Kiesow told council at a Jan. 21 meeting.
