MM <br /> 04L <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Kenneth R. Thompson, County Manager <br /> FROM: Lindy Pendergrass, Sheriff <br /> RE: Change-over of generator at the Jail <br /> Date: October 10, 1986 <br /> Following a meeting with Mr. Bill Smith from Energy <br /> Conversion Corporation of Greensboro it was ascertained that <br /> the following functions would absolutely be connected to the <br /> 30 KW generator: <br /> 1. ) Control panel <br /> 2. ) Cell doors <br /> 3 . ) Lighting <br /> 4. ) Electrical receptacles in control room <br /> Depending on the power used by the above functions, the <br /> following items will be added: <br /> 1. ) stove in jail kitchen <br /> 2. ) refrigerator in jail kitchen <br /> Due to the three-phase wiring required by the heating system, <br /> adding the heat to this generator has pretty well been ruled <br /> out. (Bill Smith has stated however, ECC would add it if the <br /> capacity of the generator is sufficient and the County wants <br /> to add the expense of compensating for the three phase hook- <br /> up. ) <br /> Energy Conversion Corporation proposes to add an electrical <br /> panel in an accessible location to operate the emergency <br /> generator only. This would serve to simplify the change over <br /> to emergency power in a crises situation. <br /> We feel that the immediate emergency power needs of the jail <br /> would be met through the change out to a larger generator. <br /> It is requested however, should the need for an additional <br /> jail facility arise in the future, that a full-scale <br /> generator be installed as part of the construction so that <br /> the jail might also be utilitized as an emergency command <br /> center (including communications capabilities) in the event <br /> of a disaster. <br /> With these facts being true, I am satisfied with a bid award <br /> to Energy Conversion Corporation for the installation of a 30 <br /> KW generator at a cost of $7200. 00. <br />
