Summary:  EMRS will provide on loan to the Forest Preserves five (5) Triton generators. Title and ownership of the generators would remain with EMRS. The Forest Preserves intends to use the generators to provide emergency backup power in the event of a power loss to any Forest Preserves-owned building. These generators will ensure the continued operation of critical infrastructure systems within the affected building(s), including fire suppression systems, fire notification systems, electrical systems, mechanical systems (heating and cooling), plumbing systems, and other essential systems required for day-to-day operations until primary power is restored. EMRS is agreeable to the long-term use of the generators by the Forest Preserves for that purpose. The Forest Preserves would be responsible for maintenance.
