Consent Agenda
Co-Generation Maintenance Services

BACKGROUND: 
The Wastewater Treatment Plant has biogas co-generation units that provide heat and electricity. The units are designed to run 24/7 and require specialized annual maintenance. Because Kraft Power is the manufacturer of the units and has specialized expertise in servicing the units, seeking competitive bids for these services provides no advantage to the city. The company has a service center in Gaylord, Michigan.

FISCAL EFFECT: 
There are sufficient funds in the Wastewater FY 2026 budget.

RECOMMENDATION: 
Waive competitive bidding and approve an expenditure of up to $70,000 to Kraft Power for repair and maintenance on the co-generation units.

ALTERNATIVES: 
As determined by the Commission.
