About this file
This is a Generator Maintenance Checklist (Exhibit B) prepared by the Town of West Hartford, Connecticut, in support of a townwide trade labor services solicitation. The checklist serves as the maintenance protocol and inspection standard for generator equipment located across the town's 58 municipal and educational facilities, including five schools, five fire stations, Town Hall, the Police Station & Courthouse, libraries, parks and recreational facilities, and public works properties. The checklist comprehensively documents all required inspection, maintenance, and operational verification tasks that contractors must perform on generator systems.
The Generator Maintenance Checklist details systematic inspection requirements across eleven primary systems: ignition system, exhaust system, fuel system, engine, oil system, battery, cooling system, starting system, generator maintenance, electrical components (where applicable), and final checks and operational controls. Each section itemizes specific components requiring inspection, replacement, or servicing, with notation spaces for recording checked and acceptable items or replacements made. The checklist includes mandatory operational verification procedures such as load testing, power failure simulation, start and stop functionality testing, and recording of critical performance metrics including voltage output, frequency in hertz, water temperature, oil pressure, and hour meter readings. Contractors must complete all checklist items under approved conditions and document results, ensuring generator systems operate safely and reliably across town facilities.
