Preventative Maintenance Services of the Station Generators at City of Aurora Fire Stations

Historically, the City of Aurora has not operated under a structured, proactive generator maintenance plan and is now seeking to implement a consistent, standards-based program designed to improve reliability, extend equipment life, and reduce the risk of unexpected failures. These generators are critical to maintaining uninterrupted emergency response operations, communications, and life-safety systems during power outages. The goal of this project is to transition from reactive service to a planned and documented maintenance approach that emphasizes routine inspections, load testing, manufacturer-recommended service intervals, and clear reporting. By formalizing this program, the City aims to enhance operational readiness and ensure dependable performance of essential infrastructure that directly supports public safety. To ensure accurate bidding and a full understanding of site conditions, the City will require a mandatory on-site walkthrough of all seven fire stations. This walkthrough will provide contractors the opportunity to evaluate generator models, configurations, access limitations, transfer switch setups, and overall installation conditions before submitting proposals. Attendance will be required in order to submit a responsive bid, as the City believes firsthand site familiarity is essential to delivering a thorough and competitive proposal.
