Greg Taylor,Director of Mashpee Public works,stated that he was present to get an <br /> opinion from the Finance Committee. <br /> Mr. Taylor stated that the Department of Public works has a very operable building which <br /> was built about 12}rears ago and is all paid for. when they originally did the building,they <br /> slid not include an emergency generator. A couple of years later,an emergency generator was <br /> purchased. Mr. Taylor stated that what was purchased,in order to save money,was <br /> retrofitted 1 's generator which only powers some of the lights in the building and not the <br /> entire building. <br /> Mr.'Taylor noted that about 3 weeks ago,during the severe thunderstorm,they lost power at <br /> 9:00 a.m.and they did not get power restored until 24 hours later. He pointed out that the <br /> generator doesn't light the garage;it doesn't even light the bathrooms. <br /> Mr. Taylor noted that they are usually working whenever there is an emergency,whether it is <br /> hurricane,a snowstorm, whatever. when they are working,they need the garage functional <br /> for the repairs and other things Haat happen. <br /> He stated that they meed funds to purchase a new generator that would take care of the entire. <br /> building. Mr.Taylor commented that an option is that he would entertain a request to put <br /> full-fledged generator in the building and treat this purchase as an emergency. He noted that <br /> if it is not treated as an emergency,the other avenue he has is to put it in as a capital request. <br /> Mr. Taylor commented that the estimate he has received on a new generator is$25,000 plus <br /> the cost of the retrofitting. This generator would power the whole building. 'He stated that <br /> the estimate that he has received in the mn unt of$25,000 is from South Shore Generator <br /> Service. <br /> Mr. Taylor said that he wanted to see if the Finance Committee would entertain this option; <br /> and,if so,he would put in a formal request. <br />
