TQ THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING DATE NO.
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE MARCH 7, 1990
SUBJECT: REJECT BIDS FOR #22 #2/0, AND 750 KCM PRIMARY UNDERGROUND CONDUCTOR
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council reject the bids for #2AWG,
#2/OAWG, and #150KCM 15KV Underground Cable, and authorize re -opening
of the bidding process.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On January 16, 1990, bids for four sizes of
Primary Underground Conductor were opened and read, and on February 7,
1990, the City Council awarded the bid for #1000KCM Conductor to Canada
Wire. The other three sizes, #2AWG, #2/OAWG, and #750KCM, were not
awarded at that time due to bid irregularities and failure of some
vendors to meet specifications. Since only one bidder met specifica-
tions, and was not the low bidder, i t i s recommended that a I I bids be
rejected, and the bidding process for these three sizes be reopened.
