(Continued from October 12, 2004 Regular Commission Meeting) Mayor McElyea read the title of the resolution. Fernando Vazquez, Director of Public Services, explained that the item had been continued from the October 121h Regular Meeting, to give staff an opportunity to investigate the warranty options for the purchase of two generators. He reported that the distributor had indicated that there was a possibility of purchasing extended warranties. He reminded the Commission that the generators were needed to power two lift stations during severe weather/power outages. He explained the • criteria used to size the generators. He outlined the two extended warranty options available and stated staff recommended moving forward on the purchase. He further reported that they had contacted Kelly and Caterpillar, and although he did not have those figures immediately available, both prices were high. Mayor McElyea contacted some generator vendors himself and stated that although he was satisfied with Tradewinds, he had received a comparable price for a six-cylinder unit ($33,275 plus warranty). He was concerned that the four-cylinder units currently being considered could be stressed during heavy usage, but acknowledged that the City's usage should be minimal. Director Vazquez stated that the figure he had been quoted from Caterpillar was much higher. Commissioner Anton felt that the City needed to investigate whether or not Caterpillar generators could be secured for the same price as the Tradewind units. He suggested approving the funding and leaving the final purchase decision to the City Manager and Public Services Director. He felt the superior service reputation of the Caterpillar Corporation would be preferred if the purchase could be made at the same price. Commissioner Chunn agreed. Commissioner Anton made a motion to adopt Resolution #2004-175 funding the purchase of two generators for an amount not to exceed $40,000; seconded by Commissioner Chunn. The motion passed on the following 4-0 Roll Call vote: • Minutes of Special Meeting 2 Dania Beach City Commission Thursday,October 14,2004—4:30 p.m. • Commissioner Anton—Yes Commissioner Flury—Yes Commissioner Chunn—Yes Mayor McElyea—Yes Commissioner Chunn noted that there was an electrical box with a hanging wire in front of Commissioner Flury that needed to be repaired. 5.
