Description
The project involves replacing the existing life‑safety generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS) for the Mathematical Sciences Building at Kent State University. The work includes demolition of the old generator, installation of a new 350 kVA diesel generator with a 12‑hour fuel tank, concrete pad construction, fencing, conduit and wiring upgrades, and integration with building systems such as the elevator controller. Three alternates are offered: removal of the existing generator ($25,000), provision of a temporary generator cabinet ($15,000), and a credit for using non‑fire‑rated conduit ($‑10,000).
