AGENDA TITLE: Approve and Authorize the Advertisement For Bids to Sell Surplus Electric
Supplies, Conduits and Related Accessories
MEETING DATE: December 21. 2011
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve and authorize the advertisement for bids to sell surplus
electric supplies, conduits and related accessories.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Electric Utility purchased 35,000 feet of 350kcmil underground
triplex low voltage wiring, conduits and their accessories in
anticipation of new developments in the 2005 timeframe. These
projects were not built due to the economic slowdown in general and housing market in particular. The
materials have been stored in the utility yard unprotected from the elements since 2005. As a result the
life span of these materials is being compromised. The current economic conditions are expected to
continue for the next few years therefore staff recommends selling the materials as listed below:
