�- RUNNING THROUGH THE PARCEL AT 651 NORTH CHEROKEE

JUNE 18, 1980 AND REFERRED THE MATTER TO THE
PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THEIR FINDINGS
Bids which had been received for the Telemetering
System for Pump Stations were presented as follows:

BIDDER AMOUNT
BASE BID ALT BID
Collins Electrical
Co., Inc. $1361400 $141,300
AMELCO Electric 138,798 132,798
Dana W. Knudson 151,645 1S6,698
Trans-Dyn Corp. $155,600 $156,500
The City Staff is recommending award of the Base
Bid, which uses a bubbler level sens'-ng system
and has a $3,602.00 higher initial cost than t; --e
Alternate Bid. The Alternate Bid includes a level
sensing system which is based on a submersible
transducer. This type of system is new on the West
Coast but has been in use in the East for ten years.
Staff learned of this system a short time before
the bid packages were sent out; it looked promising
at the time and it was therefore added -o the specif-
ications as an alternate. After the bid opening
Staff has further evaluated this system and have
the following comments.
1. The electrical consultant on this project was
unfamiliar with this particular alternate system
and has had very good success with the bubbler
system.
2. In general, the electrical consult=ant perfers
to keep electrical components out of the wet wells.
3. The bubbler system is currently being used
by the City at three locations and we have found it
very reliable.
4. The City's sanitary consultants, Black 6 Veatch,
for*nerly TYA, also recommended against the alternate
system based on their knowledge of similar equipment
in the Midwest. They noted that maintenance (which
means replacement), of the submerged unit would be
much more difficult than any required maintenance
(unplugging), of a stainless steel bubbler tube,
which can be done from the surface.
S. Since the City's own experience with bubblers
has been good, Staff cannot recommend going to a
new system, against our consultant's recommendations,
without seeing a significant cost savings.
In addition to this concern, the telemetry equipment
offered by the low alternate bidder, AMELCO Electric,
is not in complete compliance with the specifications.
The main differences are in the number of channels
of information the system can carry on one telephone
circuit and the amount of information the equipment
can put on one channel. The specifications call
for a system that can operate 27 channels and AMELCO's
system will handle only 12 channels with special mod-
ifications. In addition, AMELCO's equipment will
require more channels than that specified to transmit
-he same information.
-or the total of seven stations the alternate equipment
will require 25 channels while the equipment specified
will require 18 charnels. This difference will result
in a higher charge for telephone circuits. 1,4hile the
difference is small now, in the future when other
basins and pump stations are on-line, the difference
could be considerable.

May 21, 1930, continued
For all of the reasons noted above, Staff
AWARD - TELP` IR - o.
that the low Base Bidder, Collins Electrical
I`dG SYSTEM FOP. PUM9°' be awarded the contract.
S-A-IO`dS The Collins Electrical Co. has previously worked in
RES. NO. 80-67 Lodi and is presently installing the traffic signals
on Lodi Avenue. Staff has found they are a good
electrical contractor and do excellent work.
Speaking on behalf of the AMELCO Electric bid was
T. G. Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson stated that they do
not feel that a consultant's "unfamiliarity" with
a well established product is a -legitimate basis
for rejecting the product, particularly since:
a) It was written into the protect specifications
as an acceptable alternate. J
b) the product is in use in hundred of installations
around the country and has proven extremely reliable.
It also historically requires much less maintenance
than bubbler systems.
c) the installations hereintofore referred to
extend over a period of approximately ten years.
A very long discussion followed with questions
being directed to Mr. Ferguson. and to staff.
Councilmen Murphy proposed that action be deferred
on the matter to allow addition discussion and
review at "Shirtsleeve Session".
Following additional discussion, Councilman Hughes
moved to defer action on the matter to allow Staff
to meet with representatives of Collins Electrical
Co., Inc. and AMELCO Electric and then for Staff
to report back to Council on the outcome of the
meeting. The motion died for lack of a second.
Following additional discussion, Council, on motion
of Councilman Pinkerton, McCarty second, adopted
Resolution No. 80-67 awarding the contract for the
Telemetering System for Pump Stations to Collins
Electrical Co.,Inc., the low bidder on the Base
aid, in the amount of 5136,400. The motion carried
by the following vote:
