Gem County Government Contracts, RFPs & Bids

The fire chief reported that the station generator requires a new 200-amp transfer switch costing around 1000, and that fully replacing the generator would cost approximately 6000, with a possible upgrade from a 15k unit to an 18k Generac with remote start. The board approved the purchase of the transfer switch, and staff were directed to contact Speedy Quick regarding upkeep costs and a proposal to share expenses, indicating maintenance and future upgrade planning is underway but a full replacement is not yet funded or approved. This matters for equipment and service vendors because the district has an immediate need for generator repair and is actively considering a higher-capacity replacement with remote start as a near-term option. Vendors offering generator systems, remote monitoring, maintenance contracts, or funding/financing options could engage around lifecycle planning, upgrade specifications, and integration with station power and alerting systems.
