TO: THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL MEETING DATE NO.
FROM: THE CITY R'S OFFICE I MAY 16, 1990
SUBJECT: SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR TRANSFORMER STORAGE RACKS
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications
and authorize the advertisement for bids for the purchase of eight
sections of galvanized transformer storage racks.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Transformer storage space requirements at
the Municipal Service Center yard have increased during the past two
years as order quantities and equipment sizes have grown. Transformers
may now be stored in up to four separate locations, depending on the
availability of space. During the last inventory, auditors cited the
condition as a deficiency, and recommended that the transformers be
located in a more centralized location.
These racks would provide storage for up to 48 pad -mount and 80 pole -
mount transformers, allowing crews easier identification and giving
more direct access to individual pieces of equipment. This storage
would be located immediately to the west of the existing storage racks.
The estimated cost of this purchase is $12,000, an amount which has
been allocated in the 1989/90 budget.
It this recommendation is approved, the bid opening would be scheduled
for Mav 29, 1990.
