BACKGROUND

Gaston County Renewable Energy Center (REC) produces power by utilizing methane from the Landfill.  Recently the REC suffered a catastrophic failure on the #1 generator.  Due to the potential hazardous impacts to human health and the environment over the non-destruction of the methane, an emergency purchase was approved. Staff has procured quotes for replacements blocks from Nixon Power Services.  This Board Action is requesting retroactive approval for a sole source purchase per the sole source bidding exception per GS 143-129(e)(6) from Nixon Power Services.  The justification for the sole source purchase is due to the engine block only being available from one source.  Approval of this Board Action authorizes staff to complete this purchase and install.  No additional appropriation of funds is required.
