Overview

Summary

The City of Aurora, Illinois is inviting qualified contractors to submit bids for comprehensive maintenance services for the emergency standby generators serving seven of its municipal fire stations. These generators are critical infrastructure assets that ensure uninterrupted power for emergency response operations, communications systems, life-safety equipment, and facility support during utility outages. The selected contractor will be responsible for performing scheduled preventive maintenance, inspections, load testing, and any necessary corrective repairs to ensure each unit remains fully operational and compliant with applicable codes and manufacturer standards.

This project aims to safeguard the reliability and readiness of Aurora’s emergency response network by establishing a proactive, performance-focused maintenance program. The City is seeking experienced, detail-oriented professionals with demonstrated expertise in commercial or municipal generator systems who can provide responsive service, thorough documentation, and long-term asset stewardship. This opportunity offers the chance to support essential public safety operations while building a strong working relationship with one of Illinois’ largest and most active municipalities.

Background

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.
