AGEN13A TITLE: Authake adwrtisernent for bids for the sate of surplus overhead all
alurnMufn (AA) conductor and related material (EUD)
MEETWG DATE: May 3, 2006
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECCRAIIENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the advertisement for bids for the sale of
surplus overhead all aluminum (AA) conductor (715 and 954 kemil sizes)
and related material as listed in Exhibit A, attached.
BACKGItOtJND NIFORIMATION: According to Lodi City Code Section 2.12.120, the City Manager shall
authorize the auction sale of surplus material having a value of less than
$2,000. The value of this surplus property exceeds that amount and
requires City Council approval.
The overhead AA conductor and related material listed in Exhibit A were originally purchased in 1998 at a cost of
$387,066.63 for two (2) electric utility capital projects, neither of which have been constructed. The two projects
were (1) the construction of a 12 KV distribution circuit to Woodbridge Irrigation District and (2) the construction of a
60 KV transmission line to the west (White Slough). These projects were discontinued and there are no plans of
constructing them in the near future.
At this time, the Electric Utility Department does not have a project to utilize the material within the next five years.
(Note that EUD is retaining some 954 kcrnil wire in inventory for planned local sub -transmission use.) Since the
material was purchased years ago and metal prices have increased due to worldwide demand, the City may realize
a sale above the purchase price. Therefore, we respectively recommend the sale of the Overhead AA conductor
and related materials.
In compliance with Lodi Municipal Code § 2.12.120 Disposition of surplus personal property: The property to be sold
shall be advertised by publication at least one time in a newspaper of general circulation or in a magazine or
periodical generally distributed M municipalities, and sealed bids solicited. The manner of advertising and
processing of bids shall be consistent with practices employed for other city transaction requiring bids.
FISCAL IMPACT: The sale of the surplus material will generate revenue for the department and the mount
will be determined following the bid process.
FUNDING: Proceeds from the sale off this
materialwill be retumed to the Electric Utility fund.
