BACKGROUND INFORMATION: a December 20, 1989, the City Council
approved specifications and authorized advertisement for bids.
Bids were opened on January 16, 1990.
After evaluation of proposals, the recommendation was made to reject
bids for #2 and #2/0 underground conductor and to reopen bidding. 01
March 7, 1990, the City Council approved that recommendation.
During March the price of copper experienced a period of volatility,
and reopening of the bidding process was delayed to allow prices to
stabilize. During April the markets stabilized, and on May 2, 1990 new
bids were opened. Results of the bidding were as follows:

Although price volatility has eased somewhat in recent weeks, copper
supplies remain tight and strikes persist in some copper -producing
countries. It is therefore Purchasing's recommendation that Cablec's
firm price of $25,219.50 be used for the purchase of the #2AWG
conductor.
Funding for this purchase is available in the Electric Utility
Department's Operating Fund.
