BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On March 5, 2008, the City Council authorized the advertisement for bids
to procure approximately 25,000 feet of #-4/0 AWG 15kV, ethylene -
propylene rubber (EPR) insulated with concentric neutral underground
cable. It is being purchased on an 'as -needed' basis.
The Electric Utility Department (EUD) advertised bid documents on April 19, 2008 and March 5, 2008. Four
medium voltage cable manufacturers and suppliers requested bid documents. On May 28, 2008, staff received bid
proposalswith the following results:
The Okonite Company, San Ramon, CA $59,935.94
HD Supply (Western States Electric), Portland, OR $63,572.50
Prysmian Cables and Systems USA, Lexington. SC $64,299.81

has supplied EUD's 15kV EPR underground cables since 2003. The last procurementfrom Okonite was made in
April 2007. The current inventory level is insufficientto meet known upcoming needs. The last procurementfor this
cable was made on June 20,2003.
