AGENDA TITLE: Purchase Battery Capacity Test System (EUD 92-1)
MEETING DATE: March 4. 1992
PREPARED BY: Electric U t i l i t y Director
RECCNWBNDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution
awarding the bid fa: the purchase of Battery Capacity
Test System to the sole bidder Albe'r Engineering, Inc..
Florida, in the amount of $12,909.53.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On January 15. 1992 the City Council approved
specifications and authorized advertisement for bids.
Aids were opened on February 18, 1992 with Alber being
the sole bidder. A "no bid" was received from another
vendor.
The Battery Capacity Test System w i I I be used by the Electrical Systems Group in the
maintenance program of the various battery banks utilized for operation and control
of power circuit breakers and for uninterruptible power supplies on computer and
SCADA systems. The Test System will determine the condition as well as the ability
of these various battery banks to supply the necessary power during an emergency
situation or an all-out power failure.
The recommendation to award to the sole bidder i s based on the facts that this type
of equipment: is for very specialized applications and i s handled by a limited number
of vendors thus making it highly unlikely that a rebid would provide any benefit to
the City.
Funding in the amount of 511,500 was included in the 1991-92 fiscal -year budget. In
order to fully fund this purchase, it is further recommended that $1,409.53 be
transferred from excess budgeted funds for a pickup truck no longer considered for
purchase.
FUNDING: Budgeted 1991-92 016.1-680.43 - 511.500.00
Transfer from 016.1-680.36 - 1 409,51
