It also seems like you have the same questions too, "The installation appears to be professional looking on a new level pad, a noise suppressing enclosure and protective poles to prevent accidental impact." It appears, but does it? How much you think that costs?

There was an existing generator that needed to be replaced. It went through public advertisement for bids and was likely awarded in a public meeting.

At the same time, we want lower taxes.
