Therefore, we recommend the Village enter into a General Engineering Agreement with GPD <\/strong>to allow the superintendent the ability to obtain this engineering assistance easily and quickly on an as needed basis. This is standard industry practice to have a firm on retainer. GPD designed the substation, provided construction oversight. Their most recent project with us was completed earlier this year with the 69kV breaker and relay project. The retainer is to not exceed $10,000 per year per the fee schedule. Engineering work items may include, but would not be limited to: Equipment installation assistance, Equipment failure analysis, Fault analysis, Fault current studies to provide the available fault current at locations on the system GPD Group, Fuse sizing and relay coordination issues, System studies or reviews, new customer service equipment sizing<\/p>\n\n- Motion to approve GPD Group proposal for General Engineering Services: <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
