The total approved appropriation for generators is $505,000, and the <br /> current not to exceed cost amount is $492,096. <br /> Emergency Backup generators can provide power when utility power fails, which will allow these <br /> facilities to continue to serve residents during inclement weather and other emergencies. <br /> The County may enter into a contract with the National Power to purchase and install these <br /> generators through a "piggy back" bid process because National Power was selected in a <br /> competitive bid process by the City of Charlotte. Charlotte issued an Invitation to Bid ("ITB") on <br /> January 17, 2013 to provide generators and related services for the City of Charlotte and other <br /> public agencies. The ITB requested pricing on 18 specific sizes (50-3000kW) generators, <br />
