The Water Pollution Control Center (WPCC) has been having problems with the Automatic Transfer Switch that is used to switch to generator power when the plant loses electric. Over the past year the plant has experienced multiple incidents when the transfer switch would not automatically switch over and it would have to be performed manually. To manually switch to generator power a high voltage electrical contractor is called in on an emergency basis to make sure the plant continues to run when it loses power. Calling in an outside contractor can be problematic at times if there is a severe weather event that would prevent the contractor from making it to the plant. With the current rates that WPCC is experiencing the plant can only withstand 5-6 hours of sewer before the sewer will need to be discharged. WPCC has had a contractor on site to evaluate the problems with the current transfer switch and it was determined that the switch cannot be repaired and is needing replaced. It is understood the material needed for the automatic transfer switch have a lead time of roughly 35-38 weeks from approval of contract and issuing a purchase order. To ensure that WPCC can utilize the generator backup in an emergency situation, it is desired to get the materials ordered as soon as possible. Engineering Estimate: $ 270,000
