Bastrop County has a one-story, 11,884 square feet, facility that acts as a Community Center and an emergency shelter. This facility also houses the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Services Office and the Bastrop County Long Term Recovery Team. Bastrop County has been awarded funds by the Texas Department of Emergency Management under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP DR-4705) for the design and installation of one fixed-place emergency generator and associated electrical infrastructure to ensure the Bastrop County Community Center has a reliable power source during emergency shelter operations. The design should be based on a 350KW permanent generator that has been approved to provide adequate backup power supply that will operate all electrical loads for the entire facility. The approved 350KW permanent generator will be fueled with diesel and be capable of running without refueling for a minimum of 4 days under normal operating conditions.
