BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: In April of 2012, Okaloosa County Water & Sewer (OCWS)

As part of this agreement, OCWS transferred its cost sharing responsibility of the Niceville
Regional Wastewater Treatment facility, upon relocation of all of its flows from the East
County/Bluewater Bay Service Area to the Arbennie Pritchett Water Reclamation Facility
(APWRF). As part of this relocation, OCWS will construct a new sanitary sewer force main and
re-pump station to convey its flows to the APWRF. This project is funded by a bank loan
obtained in 2012. Procurement of items for the project has begun.

Generator System and three (3) bids were received. Water & Sewer staff and their consultant,
Constantine Engineering, have reviewed the bids and recommend awarding the bid to Energy
Systems Southeast, LLC (ESSE). ESSE was the lowest responsive/responsible base bid for a
lump sum total of $98,505 and a maximum delivery time of 115 days. The package will include
a complete 500 kW Diesel Generator, Integrated Fuel Tank, Weather/Sound Enclosure and
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS).
