The Meachum Elementary project, at 8537 Gleason Street, requires a 100 kW/125 kVA natural gas generator with concrete pad foundation, approximately 350 feet of underground gas and electrical conduit, sound-attenuated enclosure, automatic transfer switches, and controls. The Millington Jr./Sr. High School project requires a 200 kW/225 kVA natural gas generator with weather-proof enclosure, automatic transfer switch, generator control panel, battery charger, and coolant and oil heaters on a reinforced concrete foundation.
