City Council Report 
 
Date: 
May 4, 2026 
To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Three-Year Term Contract with Two-Year Renewal Options for Generator 
Purchases and Installation Services (Replacement) for Facilities Management 
and the Department of Innovation and Technology (Citywide) 
 
Recommendation 
 
 
Council is requested to approve the award as recommended. 
 
A committee representing Facilities Management, Water Resources, the Mesa Fire and 
Medical Department, the Department of Innovation and Technology and Procurement 
Services evaluated responses and recommend awarding the contract to the highest scored 
proposals from H&E Equipment Services, Inc. dba H&E Rentals, K2 Electric, LLC., and 
GenServe LLC (a Mesa business) in a combined total amount not to exceed $500,000 
annually, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5% or the adjusted Consumer Price 
Index.   
 
Background / Discussion 
 
The City will be purchasing emergency standby generators to ensure uninterrupted power 
for critical City-owned facilities during outages. These generators are essential for 
maintaining operations, protecting public safety, and preventing service disruptions caused 
by utility failures or extreme weather. This contract provides for the purchase and 
installation of new generators and related equipment for the City on an as-needed basis. 
 
City staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to registered Generator and Installation 
Service providers. Four proposal responses were received, one of which did not meet the 
minimum requirements. The remaining three proposal responses were evaluated and 
scored in accordance with the City’s established policies and procedures and relative to the 
scoring criteria in the solicitation. Scoring criteria included qualifications and experience 
and compliance to the terms and conditions. Based on the evaluation results, the 
committee recommend awarding the contract to all three respondents. Whenever a 
generator purchase and installation service is required, the City will request quotes from 
each contractor and select the contractor that submits the most advantageous quote.
