Document Description
The Amador-El Dorado Unit (AEU) Emergency Command Center (ECC) operators include various fire departments, police departments, and emergency agencies. The centralized ECC allows for quick coordination and dispatch of emergency services
across several agencies for proper response to incidents within the covered counties.
The AEU ECC requires an updated generator to operate efficiently. The project consists of removing one wall of an existing generator building and replacing the generator with a newer model. The new generator will connect to existing utilities and no other work is proposed.
