Caterpillar already had their 3500 series generators and the 3 Megawatt C175 certified for ground level installation by OSHPD the authority having jurisdiction over California hospital construction. A new hospital being constructed in San Francisco was designed with the generators to be located on the roof structure.
An automatic transfer switches (ATS) is an integral part of a generator set: it transfers power from one source, the utility, to another, the generator. An ATS triggers when it senses that one of the sources has lost or gained power. An ATS is often installed in conjunction with one or more backup generators to make sure that the generator(s) provide electrical power if the utility source fails. Today every standby generator set that is sold requires at least one ATS, and some cases, multiple units.

Design build project delivery simplifies projects and reduces risk because the owner manages only one contract with a single point of responsibility. The designers and contractors are on the same team allowing a unified response to changes and challenges. The traditional design-bid-build method requires the owner to manage multiple contracts and relationships, settling disputes between designers and contractors. Conflict and finger pointing can occur, forcing the owner into a dispute resolution role.
