TO: THE CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL
MEETING
DATE: SEPTEMBER. 20, 1989
FROM : THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF 54 -KV SURGE ARRESTERS (EUD-89-8)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council award the bid for the purchase of 15
54-kv Station Class Surge Arresters to the second low bidder, General Electric
Supply Company, in the amount of $16,854.
BACKGROUND AFORMATION: The above equipment will be installed on the high
voltage bus at Industrial Substation. The apparent low bidder (Bowthorpe EMP,
Ltd. , England) submitted a very vague proposal without any specific electrical
characteristics for evaluation purposes. This bidder, upon requEst of a users
list, was not able to demonstrate performance with this equiprlent on any United
States electric utility system, nor does any support (service) facility exist, at
present, in the U.S. In addition, the equipment does not have the standard U.S.
mounting configuration and would require modification to the support structures in
the event a replacement from another sour--- oould be necessary.
Therefore, based on the above. it is recommended by the City's consultant as we71 '
as City staff that the City does not take the risk associated with this bidder's
equipment in a substation instGllation of this importance to the City's system,
but award the bid to th- next lower bidder, a proven U.S. manufacturer.
